Baldur’s Gate 3 player thinks frustrating fight isn’t “hated on” enough
Larian StudiosBaldur’s Gate 3 has some challenging fights regardless of what mode you’re playing. One player thinks one is the worst and wants the game’s community to call it out more.
2023’s Game of the Year Baldur’s Gate 3 offers some interesting combat encounters that can prove quite the challenge. Approaching them incorrectly can lead to some pretty dumb deaths in the game.
Fortunately, Baldur’s Gate 3 rewards player creativity and there are very few ways to solve a problem wrong. You can throw your dead mom at them or even drop a bear on them.
Even with all these creative solutions to these fights, Reddit user u/amaterastfu still can’t stand one of them and thinks the player base isn’t “hating on” it enough. The encounter in question is the Death Shepherds in Trielta Crags and honestly, we kind of get it.
For those fortunate enough not to have encountered them, the Death Shepherds fight involves two necromancer enemies that repeatedly revive one another. To make them more annoying, there’s also a bunch of undead around to distract you.
“Spent the last half hour whack-a-moling the Shepherds whilst they jerked each other back into existence,” u/amaterastfu complained. “On top of that, the posse of zombies that will either paralyze you with their bulls**t claws or rob you of an action with their bulls**t stench.”
Many players in the comments agreed with the assessment and offered their commiserations. While some suggested tackling the fight at a higher level, one ingenious player offered a pretty solid solution.
“I killed one of the Death Shepherds and then had Karlach pick up the body and put it in her inventory,” they explained. “She’s instantly over encumbered but it kept the other one from reanimating its buddy and I was able to finish the fight without too much trouble.”
YouTube/Naughty GamingThis tricky bit of corpse management is an excellent foil to the otherwise annoying Death Shepherds and honestly, we’re kind of mad we didn’t think of it.
Hopefully, it’ll help other players who are struggling with this particularly annoying Baldur’s Gate 3 encounter.
