A player managed to conquer the toughest mode in Baldur’s Gate 3. But it wasn’t that which impressed the community—it was rather his teammates.
What is the player reporting? The player lowmana_ shows with a Reddit post a photo of himself and his teammates, with whom he played through the toughest mode in Baldur’s Gate 3 in co-op. He himself played as Gale, a Conjuration Wizard, while his teammates played a Barbarian, a Cleric, and a Paladin/Warlock.
“We had some really tough moments and more than just a few close calls,” the player writes on Reddit, “In the end, we destroyed the Netherbrain together and finished everything in style. It was so great to share this journey with my colleagues. We had many great moments, tough moments, and close situations, but after 60 hours, we finally made it.”
The community celebrates the player for this achievement, but less for the victory, rather for his co-op players: “With colleagues … so that is a true achievement,” comments justwatchnn on Reddit.

“Truly one of the best co-op gaming experiences I’ve had in years”
What impresses the community so much? Despite the player’s success and now owning the golden dice, which the team considers a kind of honorary badge, other players simply admire the relationship between the colleagues.
“I can’t even finish the game with my friends, let alone with my colleagues,” writes FarTad on Reddit, to which walee1 points out that you can probably plan better with colleagues, since you know their shifts and working hours (via Reddit).
But it’s not just the planning of the co-op that impresses the community, but how well the colleagues seem to understand each other.
“So THAT is what I call a team-building exercise,” writes RubyTx on Reddit, and even sorcerer777 gets jealous when he hears about such colleagues: “Hey, um, are you hiring? Ha ha ha, that sounds like a fantastic work environment” (via Reddit).
The player who made the post replies: “It’s the best job I’ve ever had, lol. I’ve met some really cool people. NERDS UNITE” (Source: Reddit).

What are the colleagues planning now? Lowmana_ writes in the comments under his own post that he wants to persuade his colleagues to give Divinity: Original Sin 2 a chance after conquering the Honor mode in Baldur’s Gate 3, another turn-based RPG from Larian Studios.
They have said that they would agree to it if lowmana_’s post receives at least 1,000 upvotes. 11 hours ago (from the perspective of the publication of this article), the goal was already reached: “We’re heading into Divinity 2 now, folks” (Source: Reddit).
A co-op campaign in Baldur’s Gate 3 can really bond friends (and in this case, also colleagues)—and the difficulty of the Honor mode provides just the right amount of thrill. This was something the author of this article and MeinMMO editor Caro experienced when she nearly ruined the Honor run with her friends because of a pesky imp: A cursed imp punished my party’s greed in Baldur’s Gate 3 and almost ended our Honor run
