Baldur’s Gate 3 is full of challenges that can demand a lot from the player group. However, in some cases, a talented speaker can save the group from the beating of a strong opponent. As long as the right words are chosen.
Spoiler Alert! This list mentions characters and confrontations from Act 1 and 2 of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Is it sensible to defeat opponents with words? If a particularly charismatic character, perhaps a Bard, Warlock, or Wizard manages to find the right words, your group could simply skip entire conflicts. And not just minor enemies, even entire boss fights can be avoided with charismatic skill.
As a result, you will not suffer any disadvantages. You will receive the same amount of experience points and in some cases an inspiration point as a bonus. But which opponents can be defeated with words?
Here you can see the trailer for Baldur’s Gate 3:
Flind, the Gnoll Queen
- Location: The Resurrected Way (Act 1)
- Checks: Wisdom (illithid), Performance (Bard)
The fight against the Gnolls in the first act of the game can be a nasty surprise for many players, especially if they did not expect them. One quickly gets overwhelmed by the crowd and the bloodthirst of the monsters.
However, you can convince the leader of the Gnolls to turn against the other Gnolls and fight on your side. While this does not prevent the fight, it makes it significantly easier. At the end of the fight, you can even force her to tear herself apart, which quickly ends the situation.
