Baldur's Gate 3 fans in shambles as they realize the RPG's most notorious dungeon can be skipped with one of D&D's simplest spells
Knock knock

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 players are discovering to their horror that one of the most grueling dungeons in the entire RPG can be s🌸kipped with one of the game's most basic spells.
The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 Gauntlet of Shar is a daunting prospect for any playthrough. Complex puzzles, some tricky fights, and the overall unpleasant vibes mean that this is one part of Larian's sprawling RPGs that fans are unlikely to look forward to during follow-up playthroughs. Back at release, one player worked out how to cheese each of the t🃏rials that make up the 'Shar O𓄧lympics', ജbut this new approach lets you avoid the entire thing.
Theꦉre are three tri🤡als in the Gauntlet, each of which awards the player one of three Umbral Gems that can be used to unlock the massive door at the end of the dungeon. That leads to the meeting with the Nightsong, but you'll need a fourth gem - secured from Yurgir - to operate the lift on the way down. As it turns out, however, that fourth gem is the only one you actually need. As discovered by clancadera on Twitter, you can simply use a second-level spell to skip the majority of the Gauntlet.
Last night I learnt thaℱt you can skip all the Gauntlet of Shar trials, if you use the Knock spell on the huge door to get to the Nightsong.
Knock is one of the most basic spells in D&D. Its sole purpose is to open locked objects, be those chests, manacles, or massive doors in huge underground temples. It's availablꦓe to Bards, 🐭Sorcerers, and Wizards, meaning that Gale and Minthara can both access it, and as a second-level spell, it's accessible from level three.
In using Knock in the Gauntlet of Shar, you can skip all three trials, and while you do need to retrieve the Spear of Night from the Library in order to progress, that's not actually one of the trials (though in order to beat this puzzle, you'll want to know 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:what can silence th♛e Nightsoཧng in Baldur's Gate 3). Grab the Spear, stroll past the trials, cast Knock, and you can be out of the d𝓀ungeon in a fraction of the intended tim🃏e.
Suffice to say that the simplicity of this skip and the✅ relative unpopularity of the Gauntlet has shocked players. The responses to that tweet are a mix of joy at the prospect of never having to take on the full-fledged Shar Olympics and ouܫtrage at the simplicity of the workaround. Any concerns that you might ruin Shadowheart's story by skipping the Gauntlet are quickly dispelled in the thread, as you're still able to get the Spear and speak with the Nightsong, but the overwhelming sentiment borders on . Hey, there's always the next playthrough.
Another simple spell helped one Baldur's Gate 3 player beat Honour Mode - by casting it nearly 2,500 times.
