Title: “Baldur’s Gate 3 Speedrunners Break Records with Unconventional Techniques”
In an astonishing display of skill and ingenuity, the speedrunning community of Baldur’s Gate 3 has achieved the unthinkable – completing the game in under five minutes. A new technique called “Shadowboxing” has emerged, and speedrunners are embracing its controversial approach to push the boundaries of this fantasy RPG.
At the heart of this technique lies a macabre manipulation of one of the game’s characters, Shadowheart. Speedrunners have discovered that by desecrating her corpse and neatly packaging it into a crate, they can bypass an entire act, shaving valuable time off their runs. This breakthrough has sparked curiosity among the community, with some runners even dedicating themselves to a new category dubbed “sex%” to compete for the fastest time using this method.
While the approach may sound unorthodox, it isn’t without precedent. Larian Studios, the development team behind Baldur’s Gate 3, has been vigilant in patching out game-breaking methods in the past. However, speedrunners have continued to find innovative ways to exploit the game’s mechanics, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in a speedrun.
Mae, a renowned and accomplished speedrunner, recently stole the limelight by completing the game in an astounding four minutes and 15 seconds using the “Shadowboxing” technique. Mae’s strategy revolves around selecting Gale as the player character and employing specific spells to bypass combat encounters. The game’s narrative takes a dark turn as Mae chooses an ending involving Gale detonating a chest nuke, transforming everyone into terrifying Mindflayers.
Mae’s accomplishments aren’t limited to Baldur’s Gate 3; she holds multiple records in the speedrunning community and enjoys a well-deserved reputation for her flawless execution and unmatched skill.
