Baldur’s Gate 3 Unveils Overpowered Enemy After Hundreds of Hours, Surprising Players

Amidst the vast dungeons of Baldur’s Gate 3, players who have dedicated countless hours to exploration have recently uncovered a new fiendish enemy, adding to the already present dangers lurking in the game.

Despite its popularity, a disheartening reality of the Baldur’s Gate 3 fanbase is the small number of players who have completed the game. This can be attributed to its extensive length and the strong temptation for fans to create a new character, particularly when they reach Act 2.

Despite being the titular city, Act 3 of Baldur’s Gate 3 is often overlooked by players, with many never even reaching its gates. Therefore, a recent post on the Baldur’s Gate 3 Reddit came as a shock to fans as it unveiled a formidable devil hidden in the final stages of the game. This discovery adds a new level of excitement and mystery for players who may have previously missed out on this encounter.

After completing my third playthrough, I was amazed to see an imp that I had never encountered before, as mentioned in this post. This game never fails to surprise me, as one user shared, “Wow, just finished my 3rd playthrough and I have never seen that imp before this post.”Another user also expressed their surprise, stating, “I’m currently on my 5th playthrough and I have yet to encounter this strange creature.”

The Cursed Fiend is highly feared because of its Caustic Retort ability, which causes any damage inflicted upon it to be immediately reflected back at the attacker in the form of Acid. Unlike the one-time reaction seen in D&D 5E rules, this occurs with every single attack.

Fortunately, players discovered a relatively simple method to handle this invincible entity from the infernal realm of the Nine Hells.

One player suggested that the best solution would be to simply toss it over the side, as the damage would then result from the fall.

Regrettably, the Cursed Fiend is at a disadvantage as it faces you on a ship. This allows for an instant defeat by throwing it into the sea. The acid counter attack is rendered useless as it is not you who is inflicting damage, but rather the environment.

It is no secret that Larian Studios has hidden numerous amazing surprises throughout Baldur’s Gate 3. However, in order to uncover them, one must play through the entire game. While it may be tempting to start over with a new character, it is recommended to complete the story at least once and fully explore the streets of Baldur’s Gate to find all of its hidden treasures.
