This seemingly cute frog can literally end your entire party in Baldur’s Gate 3.

“I fought it in my first run, and ever since, I have literally never fought it again. I’m consistently making sure I never cross its path until Auntie Ethel is dead,” one user explained.

A different user wrote, “The stupid ghosts in that one house. It’s the most annoying fight in the game.” As the most upvoted comment, many agreed with this take and admitted that they would rather let a certain NPC die than deal with this fight.

To other players, it’s the Grymforge boss in Act 1: “Spent the whole fight, trying to JUST bait him onto the anvil to deal the massive damage. It took so many turns, I thought I’d just end up beating him by sheer force of will.”

“Act 1 gnolls at level 3-4 without turning their leader against them. Arguably the most difficult fight in Act 1, at least considering the level you’re at,” one chimed in.
