Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 bug gives player an unexpected buff following frustrating encounter Larian StudiosA Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player has been bestowed a long-lasting buff thanks to a minor bug and an unwitting Gerringothe Thorm. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has a surprising amount of bugs for a Game of the Year winner. For a large part of its player base, it\u2019s part of the game\u2019s charm. Some are happy occurrences like when they keep your player alive despite dropping to zero HP. Others are the stuff of nightmares like the save-wiping bugs that plagued Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s release on Xbox consoles. Reddit user u\/Jamesbondbadil luckily experienced one of the former after Gerringothe Thorm turned a majority of their party into gold. Following the battle, the positive effects of being made an opulent statue persisted for a good portion of their run. For a bit of background, being turned to gold in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 can be a major annoyance as it, well, turns you into gold. This renders you immobile and essentially useless until the end of the encounter. While you are a big gold statue, there are some benefits of course. Slashing, Bludgeoning, and Piercing damage from both magical and non-magical sources is halved. Fortunately for u\/Jamesbondbadi, those party members that Thorm turned to gold kept those resistances for the rest of the game\u2019s second act. They also noted that the buffs persisted after numerous long rests. There was a hint of jealousy among other players for whom Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s bugs were a little less beneficial. \u201cMeanwhile I lost the \u2018permanent\u2019 bonus from Auntie Ethel\u2019s hair the first time I fast-travelled,\u201d one player bemoaned. Unfortunately for u\/Jamesbondbadi, the buff wore off sometime during the third act which is a bit of a shame. Resistances to a suite of damage types would have come in handy during the late game\u2019s tougher combat encounters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
