An astonishing feat in the world of gaming speedruns has been achieved by a ‘Baldur’s Gate 3‘, nicknamed Weedmoder, as he set a new world record in the Bear% challenge.
In an impressive time of 50 minutes and 30 seconds, he managed to perform a speedrun that involved a peculiar romance scene with a bear, in a context that involved the druid Halsin.
A very unusual record
According to information published by Eurogamer, the challenge in question emphasizes the conquest of the druid Halsin, a possibility of romance that, theoretically, is only consolidated in the third part of the game.
Weedmoder managed, exceptionally, to skip large sections of the narrative. He started at Nautiloid, saved the village at the beginning of the game and employed the Shadowboxing technique to quickly advance to an unusual outcome.
In the speedrun video, Weedmoder explains the difficulties other players faced in understanding which choices and interactions influence the relationship with Halsin.
More races in the Bear% category are expected to emerge as speedrunners hone routes and strategies to achieve this specific outcome.
The Bear% category is now official on speedrun.com, signaling the possibility of a large number of similar videos in the coming months.
It seems that the ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ community is delighted with the quirky bear character present in the game.
This isn’t the first foray into speedruns involving scenes from romance in the game. Journeys known as “Sex Any%” have already been carried out, with Lae’zel as the most common target at the beginning of the game.
Speedrunner Mae, for example, managed to seduce the warrior in a surprisingly short time.
For ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ enthusiasts, there is even more to explore, including an unusual love letter that may have gone unnoticed at the beginning of the campaign.
While not essential to the game experience, it adds a special touch to exploring the game’s universe. game.
