Important Bug in Baldur’s Gate 3’s Honor Mode

Another attempt at a Baldur’s Gate 3 Honor Mode run has once again been cut short by an unexpected and persistent bug.

Baldur’s Gate 3’s Honor Mode is the ultimate test of skill. The merciless Gauntlet is a permadeath setting that intensifies combat challenges, and even the smallest mistake can lead to a total party wipe, forcing you to restart the game.

Despite being tough, players can still face challenges that can abruptly end their run, whether it be due to the updated combat system or other unforeseen events. Scratch, known for his fondness of playing fetch and disdain for paintings, is particularly notorious for causing unexpected failures.

Despite how exasperating it can be, it is even more devastating when a bug occurs at the conclusion of a run, as it is completely beyond your influence. A Baldur’s Gate 3 player recently experienced losing 17 hours’ worth of progress in Honor Mode due to a well-known bug that has managed to slip through multiple patches.

The bug in question is widely known and it prevents player characters and party members from attaching to platforms that are in motion within the game. This specific platform, found in the Gauntlet of Shar, is notorious for causing this issue and some players opt to skip this portion entirely in Honor Mode playthroughs due to this precise problem.

One experienced player of Baldur’s Gate 3 commented on the post, “I already knew what this was going to be before I even opened it.”Another player responded, “I had a feeling it would be that dreaded lift again. It’s ended so many of my Honor Mode runs.”

After the author shared their experience with the bug, one user sympathized and expressed their condolences on the devastating impact it had, saying, “I’m so sorry you suffered a TPK because of it.”Meanwhile, other users expressed their frustration with the recurring presence of this bug.

One player expressed frustration, stating that a preventable death caused by a long-standing bug has ended their game. Another player chimed in, questioning why the bug has still not been addressed after 4-5 months.

Luckily, the release of Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7 is scheduled for September, so there is a possibility that the bug will be addressed in the update.
