Baldur’s Gate 3 Player Beats Honour Mode Using Only True Strike Spell

Honour Mode is renowned for its extreme difficulty, and to make matters even more challenging, the player decided to rely exclusively on the True Strike spell throughout the entire playthrough. True Strike is widely regarded as one of the worst spells in both Dungeons & Dragons and Baldur’s Gate 3 itself, making this achievement even more impressive.

Throughout the playthrough, the player refrained from using explosives, necrotic corpse tactics, or any offensive abilities that deal damage. They also made sure to avoid triggering any early endings, such as blowing up Gale, by stopping the run at the end of Act 3.

True Strike, for those unfamiliar, grants the user an advantage on their next turn. However, it does not inflict any damage, leaving the player defenseless. Despite this limitation, the player cleverly maneuvered through the first four levels by utilizing stealth and dialogue options.

As the playthrough progressed, the player obtained an item that added Reverberation to the True Strike ability, allowing them to stack it five times. This resulted in 2-5 thunder damage, adding a new layer of strategy to the gameplay. However, this tactic quickly became monotonous and required significant grinding.

This accomplishment is just one of many impressive challenges undertaken by the player. In a previous feat, they managed to complete the game without ever leveling up, a task that few would even consider attempting. Additionally, they completed another run without resting, demonstrating their dedication and skill.
