A Baldur’s Gate 3 player has beaten one of the endgame’s bosses using an unlikely weapon: a dead body.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is all about getting creative and finding the many ways that you want to get through a scenario.

From the ways that your character can interact with others to the different paths you can take to get to a location, the game is constantly presenting people with surprising options.

But one of the most shocking things has recently happened, as a Baldur’s Gate 3 player has bested one of the endgame bosses using nothing other than a dead body as a weapon.

In a post shared on the game’s subreddit, the player let others know what was going to happen in their story using the title: “I murdered my sister with the body of a dead child.”

In the body of the post, they went on to tell the story of how they were aiming to use their brute strength to take down Orin, one of the three big bosses in the third act.

When that didn’t work out the way they intended, they share the method they resorted to: “Cue me butchering Orin in 2 rounds by beating her to death with a dead kid, 4 tosses a round. Glorious.”

While it’s certainly a dark twist on the fight, the community seems to love it, with one person responding: “You’re a monster, but that’s pretty dope.”

Others have pointed out how in-line this method is with the spirit of the game: “Only game where I see this title and think ‘Yeah, I can see that,’ and not think twice about it.”

It’s an impressive feat on any boss, really, but to do it against one of the game’s “big bads” is definitely something to admire.

It is clear that players are having a lot of fun with finding the most absurd ways to kill enemies, and it doesn’t seem like Baldur’s Gate 3 is going to stop giving them those methods anytime soon.
