Posted On: April 18, 2026

In another thread about using Divine Intervention again Raphael, and finding out that’s a very bad idea if you’re unprepared, several people posted some variation of “It happens to everyone at least once”. .


It’s kind of a Baldur’s Gate rite of passage. “LOL whoops, today I learned what Radiant Retort is”. I started thinking about other moments like that in the game. .


- The force traps on the way to the Blood of Lathander. .


- Ally dies and/or aggros when they run through an AOE after the fight is over. .


- Accidentally pissing off your whole camp, usually in some hilariously ridiculous way. .


What else would you put on that list? Just kind of “Ha, yep, everyone does it at least once” moments in the game.


Question from user MR1120 at BaldursGate3 at reddit.com.


Answer:

Missing that Minthara is a possible companion. I was very confused why a random miniboss had underwear on my first playthrough lol.


Editing to add: also getting absolutely flattened by your frog girlfriend in act 2, unless youre somehow more tanky than her.
