Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s Owlbear has a surprise mechanic fans missed Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 is filled with surprises that players have still been discovering just under a year after its full release, and some can be much deadlier than others. One such surprise involves the adorable yet extremely powerful Owlbear located in Act One. While many fall in love with the Owlbear cub as the game goes on, you have to take down its mother to \u2018adopt\u2019 the unusual pet. However, battling the mother can lead to a surprising turn of events, which one player revealed on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit. \u201cHow did I only just find out that the Owlbear mom can call upon her mate? What. A whole other Owlbear just spawned in\u201d shared the poster, showcasing the dangers of fighting the Owlbear. Usually, the only enemy you have to fight is the Owlbear mother, which is a tough enough fight to handle at lower levels, let alone adding another to the mix. Thankfully, players don\u2019t need to worry too much, as the second Owlbear only appears if you\u2019re playing on Honour Mode, as it increases the difficulty. \u201cThat\u2019s her \u2018Legendary Action\u2019 which is only active on Honor mode\u201d shared one user, with another adding that \u201cHonor mode gives new mechanics to all the bosses.\u201d Apparently, the Owlbear isn\u2019t the only tougher enemy you\u2019ll come across in the popular game mode. Many shared how shocked they were to stumble across the same enemy: \u201cYeah that ended my second honor run. I was having fun and was not prepared for the mate to come plummeting down.\u201d Another added, \u201cHad no idea she did this. Her mate spawned right behind my Tiefling sorcerer, who I had flown to what I thought was a \u2018safe\u2019 height. We ended up having to use the ogre horn a lot earlier than we were planning. The ogres killed the Baby Owlbear\u2026and then later I accidentally ate the egg, which we were planning to sell. So it was a murder fest and we essentially came out empty-handed.\u201d Interestingly, another player shared a key technique to help players deal with the unexpected challenge: \u201cTry silence with shadow heart! I was able to get a surprise round on her and was able to prevent her from calling her mate.\u201d If the mother Owlbear can\u2019t make any noise, then she can\u2019t call on her mate, making the battle as simple as it is in the normal game modes. However, if you\u2019re looking for a new challenge, Honour Mode has plenty to offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
