Inconspicuous Enemy In Baldur's Gate 3 Has Plagued More Players Since Release
What is the scariest opponent in BG3? Unfortunately, in this case it will be difficult to get a clear answer. However, players agree on the most inconspicuous and at the same time extremely dangerous enemy.
Baldur's Gate 3, just like a real pen-and-paper Dungeons and Dragons session takes us to the very center of a world full of surprises and surprising twists. Complete freedom and a multitude of possibilities plus players' ingenuity mean opportunities to abuse the mechanics of the game to e.g. easily defeat even the most demanding of opponents.
And what if the game decides to do the same? Well then, one really needs to be vigilant, because the danger may come from an unexpected direction.
Killer frog from BG3
You might think that when it comes to the topic of dangerous amphibians in video games, in 2023 the topic has been exhausted by Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and the bosses Oggdo and Bogdo. However, it turns out that it's not entirely true, as Larian Studios have their own idea of frog nemesis, just a little smaller in size.
In the course of the Deal with Auntie Ethel quest in Act 1, you're going to need to cross the marches. While the difficulty level of battles found there is not a match for a properly built team, along the way we may encounter a small white-pink frog.
If you have Speak with Animals spell or a respective potion, you can talk to it. However, it will shout gibberish words and phrases until it finally decides to attack you.
The frog mitigates the party's attacks well and additionally spits venom that deals very serious damage and forces a defense roll against poison on every character found in the radius of the toxic cloud. One Reddit user even told the BG3 fan community his story of almost losing his team against the frog while playing with Honour Mode enabled.
You don't have to fight the frog
However, if you are currently playing BG3 in this mode and are afraid of losing anyone on your team, it is worth knowing that the frog encounter can be avoided. If we kill Auntie Ethel before meeting the frog, the fight will not ensue.
Furthermore, the frog will no longer shout threats, but will react with enthusiasm to meeting our team and as a reward for defeating the witch, it will show us a pouch with gold and two scrolls.
For this to succeed, we must watch every step, as one move in the wrong direction and the encounter may be activated, which means a tough fight.
Unnusal encounter that became a meme
What has entertained BG3 fans practically since the day of its premiere is the extraordinary awareness of the creators and their distance from both their ideas and themselves. Developers from Larian Studios decided to pay tribute to the terrifying frog and, with the help of the irreplaceable cast and the Mashed channel, presented the world with a funny animation showing how terrified the main characters are when they meet the colorful amphibian.
And how do you remember the visit to the marshes and the conversation with the frog? Did you decide to take care of it right away whatever the cost or postponed the encounter until Ethel was defeated?
