The Gauntlet of Shar in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has a puzzle where players must walk across a pit above a void. As Shar is the goddess of darkness, the puzzle ties into her divine portfolio as the path across the pit appears in the dark. A new update for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has been released, which has been noticed by a user on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit, who created a thread asking other fans if they have seen a spike in difficulty in the Gauntlet of Shar. \u201cI swear it\u2019s a lot harder than it used to be,\u201d the OP said, \u201cMy first few playthroughs, you could actually see the path. Now I absolutely can\u2019t, and apparently I can\u2019t follow the pattern correctly, because Shart keeps dying.\u201d \u201cMake sure you don\u2019t have Lathander\u2019s Light or any other weapon\/gear\/spell that casts light. You can only see the pathway if the room is completely dark,\u201d one user suggested, \u201cIf you have the ingredients for a potion of jumping or an elixir of strength, you can use it on Karlach and have her jump either back to the entrance or to the exit, if either are within reach.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve found it can be very temperamental,\u201d another user mentioned, \u201cOn my HM run, I was able to cheese it with a potion of glorious vaulting and just jump right to the end, but on other playthroughs, that\u2019s completely not worked.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve always flown across, but never in turn based mode. Not sure if that\u2019s your issue but it might be,\u201d one player wrote, and another said, \u201cIt\u2019s more annoying than it used to be for sure.\u201d Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has so many options available to the player (thanks to its use of the D&#038;D 5e ruleset), which means there are plenty of ways to solve problems. Maybe the developers tightened the rules around the Gauntlet of Shar over time, or maybe it\u2019s just a case of the game being iffy and doing different things for different people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Baldur\u2019s Gate update makes platform puzzle \u201cimpossible\u201d to finish Larian StudiosShar is finally getting her revenge, as a new Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 patch has increased the difficulty of a puzzle that fans used to breeze through.
