The new Honour Mode in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3 is tough as nails. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Only 0.1 ꦐperc𒉰ent of players have beaten it so far, as the rest flail about and die 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:in the worst of ways. But Renilas' run-ending fight might just take the cake... or the ball.
"Me and my friends were in Act 1 about to do a long rest so that we could continue on into the goblin camp," Renilas posted on the game's subreddit. "One of my friends throws Scratch's ball and I grab it so I can toss it for the pup. This turns the ENTIRE CAMP hostile. Now, we hadn't leveled the other companions as we had no need of them, so overall this might have been fine. Except for one tiny little detail... THE OATHBREAKER KNIGHT HAS JOINED THE BATTLE. 12 levels of PAIN came our way. [They] killed us all in four rounds and that was that."
Honour Mode only uses one save file, so you can't cheat bad dice rolls or reload upon death. Once everyone in your party's HP hits zero, it's game over.
Camp is supposed to be safe, the typewriter at the end of a dingy corridor littered with Nemesis' victims, the jingle of a bonfire after a gauntlet of unrelenting Hollows, but a game of fetch gone wrong cut that assumption short for Renilas. It's unclear if it was the mere act of taking the ball or if they had accidentally hit Scratch, but in upsetting the little pup, Renilas broke their oath as a paladin and invited a terrifying level 12 guest whom they also upset.
Paladins make different vows to different gods in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dungeons & Dragons. When you break those vows, you become an oathbreaker. In Baldur's Gate 3, a knight also appears in camp who you can pay to restore your vow, otherwise, you remain as an oathbreaker paladin. This knight is level 12 (since you're not meant to fight them), so if they aggro, you're completely screwed.
Take Renilas' case. When the Oathbreaker Knight crashed the party, their entire group was slaughtered before Astarion could say 'darling', sending them back to the title screen and dooming the Sword Coast to the Absolute's injustice. There's a lot to take away from this, but the main thing is that even something as innocuous as playing with Scratch is a huge risk in Honour Mode.
Normally, you'd reload a past save before they aggro to avoid a hasty trip to the underworld, but in Honour Mode, that's not an option. Once the Oathbreaker Knight started swinging, Renilas and co. had to stand their ground. They were doomed from the start. Maybe leave the ball on the ground next time, eh?
