Summary
A player has managed to reach the final boss fight inBaldur’s Gate 3with Mayrina’s husband Connor in their party. It’s an incredible feat, given how fragile the zombie is and how challenging it is to defeat the Netherbrain, the final boss ofBaldur’s Gate 3.
Mayrina is a recurring NPC inBaldur’s Gate 3who appears in the first and third act of the game. Players can interact with her story, and the story of her husband by extension, in thesave MayrinaBaldur’s Gate 3side quest. Players first encounter Mayrina in Ethel’s teahouse, where she is forced to eat a pie by the Hag. No matter what choice the players make, fighting Ethel or making a deal, Mayrina will become upset with them due to her deal with the Hag to resurrect her dead husband. Players can fix this by finding the Bitter Divorce in the teahouse, and offering to resurrect Connor with the wand, which will bring him back as a zombie.
OneBaldur’s Gate 3player by the username PickledThimble posted a picture on Reddit proving that they brought Connor with them all the way to the final boss fight. Connor is a zombie minion, who is immensely useful during the early game, acting as a tank. His usage later on becomes a utility summon, due to his low stats. Seeing as theNetherbrain fight inBaldur’s Gate 3is challenging even for a level 12 party in endgame gear, this achievement is even more impressive.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Player Prioritizes Gear Over NPCs
To achieve this, the player must have found the Bitter Divorce wand, and chose to keep it to themselves as one of theoutcomes of the save Mayrina quest inBaldur’s Gate 3. This choice is purely strategic, prioritizing the acquisition of the Second Marriage wand over helping Mayrina and her husband. With this wand, the player can summon Connor at will, though his lifespan is limited to ten turns, requiring him to be resummoned after that.
All of these facts come together to make for an incredible feat, as the player either summoned Connor in the boss room, essentially wasting an action, or brought Connor alive to the boss fight in under ten turns. And they did all of that while protecting Connor, who is not among thebestBaldur’s Gate 3allies. As of now, the OP has not responded to the comments asking how they achieved this, leaving only speculation on their methods.
