The Brazilian streamer Luality shows a knack for tricky games and puzzles on Twitch. Now she has cleverly defeated a boss in Baldur’s Gate 3 on the hardest difficulty and without companions, so much so that the Larian boss Vincke is raving about it.
Spoiler Warning: The text reveals a way to solve the boss fight of Act 1.
Who is the streamer?
- Luality is Brazilian but streams in English. She gained wider recognition when she played Elden Ring with a dance mat. In Guild Wars 2, she solved the hardest jumping puzzle with her feet.
- Luality is a relatively small streamer on Twitch, but she has benefited greatly from Baldur’s Gate 3 in August 2023. With her charming and clever approach to the role-playing game and problem-solving, she has increased her viewer hours on Twitch by 322%.
- We have already reported on her adventures in Baldur’s Gate 3: She kissed a succubus and ran through minefields. With her masterpiece, she has now even impressed the game’s boss, Swen Vincke.
Defeated the tough boss without companions
Here is the clip: Luality plays “Solo Tactician,” the hardest mode of the game, without companions, and faced the final boss of Act 1.
She is on a small platform together with the boss: Both the boss and the heroine are quite battered. She then drops a healing potion and activates a lever on a neighboring platform with a spell. Now a heavy hammer comes crashing down, dealing about 140 damage to both the boss and the player, knocking them both out.
However, because the healing potion she threw on the ground shatters due to the anvil’s impact, her heroine stands up with 14 health points left while the boss remains defeated on the ground.
The player says she had to be creative here – in the next turn, the boss would have defeated her. She loves that the game lets her do such crazy things. She is on the same wavelength with shroud.
Boss raves: ‘Beautiful, I love it’
This is what the boss says: The head of Larian highlights Luality’s action as a prime example of creative problem-solving in the game
Vincke summarizes the strategy in his own words and remarks: ‘It’s beautiful. I love it.’
As further examples of clever ways to solve problems, Vincke mentions among others:
- the 4 crazy halfling barbarians
- the ability to sneak through even the smallest opening in gas form
- and of course ‘the owl bear’ with the elbow drop from the top rope
Especially the owl bear made history shortly after the release of Baldur’s Gate 3 on PC. Such an innovative way to approach problems is known from pen-and-paper role-playing games, but this creativity was long denied to PC players:
The head of Baldur’s Gate 3 exclaims: ‘Everyone knows the owl bear now!’
