Even with the game\u2019s detailed resurrection options, many just can\u2019t stomach the idea of putting this character in danger. In most playthroughs, you really don\u2019t want any of your Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 companions to die. But the battles can be harsh. Characters get stabbed, blown up, or even disappear into the abyss because of a \u201chilarious\u201d bug. There are ways to bring them back to life. Each character starts with a Scroll of Revivify, which lets you bring them back from the dead. For more experienced players, there\u2019s the Revivify spell. Plus, in the camp, Withers can revive fallen companions for 200 gold, no matter where they died. Despite these safeguards, some players can\u2019t bring themselves to send Scratch, the canine companion, into battle in BG3. A Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit thread revealed that many players don\u2019t want to risk losing this four-legged companion, even temporarily. One user shared, \u201cI sometimes see people send Scratch into battle, but I just can\u2019t bear myself to do it and maybe lose him in the bloody war.\u201d Some players reassured others, saying that Scratch would return to camp if he perished in battle. Yet, others admitted they couldn\u2019t bear the thought of him taking damage. \u201cI did once. The first time he got hit, I reloaded my save. No one touches my dog,\u201d confessed one Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player. Interestingly, another asked, \u201cYou can use Scratch in combat?\u201d They have been keeping this dog companion safe without even knowing it. For the most part, the community prefers to keep Scratch safe, only taking him out for his \u201cwalkies.\u201d Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 continues to surprise and engage its player base, even a year after its release. Whether it\u2019s keeping Scratch out of harm\u2019s way or discovering he can play fetch with something much more disturbing than a ball, the game and its players continue to explore unexpected paths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players \u201ccan\u2019t bear\u201d to send this companion into battle Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3In Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, one companion has players caught up in their feelings.
