Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is a massive RPG with hundreds of hours of content for players to explore, but for speedrunners, that size is merely a challenge rather than a deterrent. Since launch, speedrunner Mae has been sharing new and innovative ways to break the game and roll credits in minutes rather than hours. She has set and defended records for Any% runs, using strategies like hopping around as Gale to essentially detonating a nuke and stuffing Shadowheart\u2019s corpse in a box to skip Act 3. While impressive, some have claimed those runs don\u2019t really count since they skip so much of the game. In response, Mae has shared a new Any% (All Acts) speedrun that manages to go through every act and unskippable boss fight in just over half an hour. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Any% (All Acts) speedrun involves a lot of jumping, shoving &#038; exploits After sharing some of the negative comments her previous records received, Mae shared her impressive accomplishment in a video titled \u201cSpeedrunning Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 By Launching Everyone to Their Doom.\u201d Unsurprisingly, her Tav, named \u201cKetchup Man,\u201d breezes through the Nautiloid in 34 seconds. From there, there\u2019s a lot of jumping and companion murder to speed through the game. The run is really worth watching for yourself (and much less of a time commitment than a typical Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 playthrough), but some highlights include taking down Ketheric Thorm using a Witch Bolt cast from a distance and carrying Enver Gortash around so he could be thrown off a bridge. Ultimately, Mae is able to roll credits in just 30 minutes and 22 seconds \u2013 quite the feat, considering it takes most players rushing the main story about 40 hours to beat Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Given Mae\u2019s track record, it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see her cut down on her time in the future, especially if someone else manages to take her record. For now, though, it\u2019s clear the speedrunner has gotten the last laugh following all those critical comments.
