Baldur's Gate 3 speedrunner reverse-pickpockets a boss to teleport to the dev room, defeats another boss with 'Shadowbear'


You may be familiar with Baldur’s Gate 3 speedrun tricks like shadowboxing, which is where you kill Shadowheart and stuff her in a box as a way of skipping through a substantial part of the game. Which is honestly a bit of a rough way to treat God’s favorite princess and the most interesting girl in the world. Shadowheart gets some comeuppance in a technique used by Mae, the speedrunner who holds the current world records for any%, all acts%, and sex%. Let me introduce you to the Shadowbear.

This one works thanks to the massive amounts of bludgeoning damage you cause by transforming into something big, then jumping on someone in Baldur’s Gate 3. The orbital owlbear strike is the most brutal example of this exploit, but Mae uses a slightly different one to wrap up act two’s boss fight 12 minutes into her recent run for Awesome Games Done Quick 2024. By casting enlarge on Shadowheart before transforming her into a bear, then making her invisible, Mae creates a stealth bomb that weighs 5,005 kilograms and kills first Ketheric Thorm and then his final form, the avatar of Myrkul, simply by landing on their heads.
