Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players obsessed with unlikely D&D \u201cdragonslayer\u201d character Wizards of the CoastThe Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 fanbase has rejoiced at the defeat of one of the game\u2019s most powerful dragons, which was accomplished by the paws of an unlikely Dungeons & Dragons character. The Druid and Ranger class in many RPGs are known for their \u201cpet\u201d gameplay, where they fight alongside animals in battle. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is no exception, especially with the Ranger\u2019s Beast Master subclass, which gains an animal companion for the rest of the game. Throughout D&D\u2019s history, many Rangers have fought alongside cool animals, like wolves or hawks. Perhaps the most famous Ranger is Drizzt Do\u2019Urden from the D&D novels, whose animal companion is a magical panther. Not everyone gets a cool animal companion in D&D, but that doesn\u2019t mean they can\u2019t be effective in battle. The second most famous Ranger in D&D, Minsc, is notorious for having a tiny animal companion, but it has survived more adventures than most player characters. Boo the hamster slew a dragon in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 A user on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit has revealed how they defeated Ansur, the undead dragon in Act III. They did it with the help of Boo, the hamster, who managed to get a lucky shot while under the effects of the Bless spell, allowing it to kill the necrotic wyrm. \u201cDon\u2019t underestimate Boo, from the old games, he has fought Beholders, Liches, powerful wizards, several Bhaalspawns, demigods, powerful demons and more,\u201d one player rightly pointed out, \u201cAt this point, a dracolich is just breakfast for him.\u201d \u201cNever underestimate a miniature giant space hamster. It\u2019ll be the last thing you do,\u201d one user wrote, while another said, \u201cYou\u2019re an unlikely hero, Boo saved the world several times.\u201d Several users repeated Minsc\u2019s famous catchphrase, saying, \u201cGo for the eyes Boo!\u201d but as another user pointed out, \u201cIn this case\u2026 \u201cgo for the holes where the eyes should be,\u201d as Ansur lacks eyes in his undead form. One of the worst aspects of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is that you can\u2019t recruit Minsc and Boo into your party until the end of the game, with a lot of players not bothering, as they already have an effective setup that they\u2019ve used up to that point. If Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 receives a major content update in the future, it will hopefully give players a chance to recruit Minsc a lot earlier, allowing Boo the opportunity to slay even more monsters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
