Unveiling Baldur’s Gate 3’s Hidden Secrets
So, you’re diving into the world of Baldur’s Gate 3, huh? Well, buckle up because I’ve got some juicy behind-the-scenes secrets for you. YouTuber SlimX spilled the beans on a mind-blowing discovery that will make your jaw hit the floor: you can summon a magical sheep that can cast endgame spells. How, you ask? Well, by doing some crazy stuff like killing a minor NPC and ringing the bells of Act 3’s bell towers. Sounds wild, right?
The Quest for Harvard Willoughby
Harvard Willoughby, the monocle-wearing, mustachioed comedian you may have encountered in your normal gameplay, is the key to unlocking this hidden gem. Find him at the Elfsong Tavern’s open mic night and challenge him to a duel of wits. If you manage to take him out, congratulations! You’re now on your way to joining the Dark Brotherhood and uncovering the real Harvard Willoughby.
The Mysterious Egg Hunt
Now, here comes the fun part. Head over to the Lower City guard tower and then make your way to the Church of the Open Hand belfry in Rivington. Ring those church bells in the right order, and voila! A mysterious egg will appear in your party camp. I stumbled upon mine near the chicken coop in the Rivington bivouac, but I bet you can find it in other locations too. Click on the egg, and voila! Harvard Willoughby, also known as “Nature’s Fury,” will be at your service as a summoned helper. Watch out though, he’s a bit fragile with only 29-54 HP, depending on your difficulty level.
The Unpredictable Harvard Willoughby
Harvard Willoughby is not your average companion. He starts combat on fire and has a chance of exploding at the beginning of each round, especially as the fight drags on. If he meets his demise, whether through explosion or other means, he’s gone for good. The developers left a little note in BG3’s code describing this human Harvard as a tribute to their favorite sheep. So, accept no substitutes; this is the real deal. It’s like finding a hidden easter egg that only the most dedicated gamers will stumble upon. Not really sure why this matters, but hey, it’s a cool little secret to uncover.
In Conclusion
Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to surprise and delight players with its hidden treasures and unexpected twists. From magical sheep to mysterious eggs, the game is full of surprises waiting to be uncovered. So, keep exploring, keep pushing the boundaries, and who knows what other secrets you might discover in this fantastical world. Remember, it’s not just about the destination, but the journey itself that makes it all worthwhile.
