Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player explains why Scratch should \u201calways\u201d be summoned Larian StudiosA BG3 player has explained why all users should make sure they always have Scratch the dog summoned for battle. Scratch has long proven himself a fan-favorite Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 companion. In addition to serving as man\u2019s best friend, the canine comes equipped with a few useful abilities. One such skill revolves around his penchant for sniffing out things like chests or traps in the world. However, players have especially found the four-legged familiar beneficial when it comes to keeping allies alive in the heat of battle. Yet, some people believe Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players aren\u2019t using the dog to his fullest potential. One person explained why in an increasingly popular Reddit post. BG3 player says it\u2019s good to always have Scratch summoned Reddit user jdbrew reportedly played Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 solo five times and is currently working through a multiplayer campaign with friends. A recent discussion in the party about Scratch\u2019s helpfulness inspired the Redditor to share a post outlining the other benefits of having the canine summoned at all times. As mentioned above, the user noted that Scratch\u2019s Help action stabilizes downed party members with \u201cwhat is essentially a free action.\u201d Another boon for players using Scratch is his bite\u2019s ability to \u201cforce a concentration saving throw.\u201d In other words, a successful bit could allow for a fifth chance at \u201cbreaking a spell caster\u2019s concentration each round.\u201d Finally, when not engaged in combat, the dog \u201cprovides a 5th attempt at perception checks\u201d when all four party members fail. Several BG3 players in the comments chimed in to say that while they know Scratch is useful, they often forget to summon him. Meanwhile, someone else said they call on Scratch and other pets during every run. \u201cI use every pet I can every run, especially in honour mode.\u201d Scratch isn\u2019t always the best at situational awareness, though, so players should be mindful of when they play fetch with their furry in-game friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
