Speedrunning is a challenge where players utilize various legitimate glitches, maneuvers, or game mechanics to quickly achieve a specific goal in a game. This challenge not only allows skipping unnecessary scenes to hasten game progress but also tests the players' skill in executing precise maneuvers.
The desire to conquer these challenges continues to drive gaming enthusiasts. Even after finishing a game conventionally, they consistently reopen it to explore, testing the waters to see if a speedrun is achievable.
Baldur's Gate 3, a recently popular open-world game, brings forth its unique Speedrun challenges, but with a unique twist...
For instance, there's challenges like "the fastest to engage in intimate scenes with a teammate" or "fastest to witness explicit troll encounters within the game", and so on.
Recently, a player known as weedmoder disclosed the most frequently requested scenario in the community, involving the challenge of speedrunning to have s*x with the Druid's bear form. Weedmoder coined this challenge as "Bear%" and explained how to accomplish it within the initial 50 minutes of the game.
He mentioned that in this challenge, he still utilized the experience from the previous "Any%" category, triggering a peculiar bug mechanism to bypass the second chapter of the game. After rescuing Halsin, players have to increase Halsin's favorability, along with some unavoidable combat scenarios. As a result, accomplishing the challenge requires approximately 50 minutes.
Following weedmoder's successful challenge, the SpeedRun official website has established a dedicated category for the "Bear%" challenge. It remains to be seen whether other players will continue to pass down this speedrunning legacy.
