For the simple reason that most of us try to avoid conflict.
Baldur’s Gate 3 combat can be fun and interesting, but there are times when you might want to skip a fight. There are fights you’d rather not have, either because they are too hard or because you aren’t high enough level to handle them.
However, keep in mind that many fights are necessary, so these tips won’t work for every situation in the game. They are still useful, though. Also, many of these ways give you the same amount of experience as fighting the enemy the normal way.
Have Minions Scout Ahead
You need to be careful of ambushes in Baldur’s Gate 3. Enemies wait in the shadows to jump on people who aren’t paying attention. It can be fun to be the hunted instead of the hunter, but if you just want to avoid them, you need to know where they are.
Sending one of your servants as a scout is one of the best ways to find them. You can even set off ambushes, which make fights easier if you want to do them later. Minion types that can fly, like the Raven Familiar or the Imp, are best for this.
Run
You can always run away if you don’t have to fight. It’s not the classiest thing to do, but it works. Some people don’t know this, but you can press the camp button to end the fight and respawn safely in camp if you’re far enough away from your enemy.
As soon as you leave camp, you’ll be back where you were before, and your enemy will be back where they were before. If you lose an ally, you can just ask Withers to bring them back to life. This method can cost a lot, but some fights are not worth what they cost.
Cast Enhance Leap With Feather Fall
You know how powerful these two spells are if you’ve ever seen a speed run of Baldur’s Gate 3. They don’t take up any spell slots when they’re not in battle because they can be cast like a ritual. This means you can skip all fights and travel long distances without any problems.
This set of spells can help you avoid not only fights but also all kinds of problems. Remember that you should only use it when you’re not in a dungeon and have plenty of room to jump and fall. The people with the most strength are the best targets for these spells because they can already jump the farthest.
Rush To The Next Waypoint
Without waypoints, you would take a very long time to get from one place to another. To use them, all you have to do is stand close by. If one person finds one, the whole group can use it. That’s what you need to know about Waypoints to skip fights.
If you use Feather Fall, teleport everyone else to a Waypoint while you send your attacker the only way to get there. Keep in mind that minions can’t open Waypoints. If that’s the case, the best scout would be a Moon Druid in Raven Form. They can go anywhere and let the rest of your party move too.
Set Up Traps With Barrels
Single strikes are a good way to end a fight that you have to do. It takes a lot of work to get ready for this, but it will help you win fights that seem impossible. It’s important to know your way around the different Baldur’s Gate 3 maps and grab every bomb or wine barrel you can find.
There are only so many of them, so pick your targets carefully. When fighting people who are already angry, set the trap far away from the start of the battle. Put barrels around them and use a fire spell to light them on fire. With enough ammo, this is a good way to beat a lot of bosses.
Save Often
If you choose to go through an optional meeting, you probably weren’t ready. You may be just a little further along in your journey before stopping for the night in camp. You’ve not saved since before you beat the last boss, you have no spell slots, and goblins attack you.
We’re spoiled these days with autosaves. They’re in Baldur’s Gate 3, too, but not all over the place. You should save your work often so that you can quickly find your way back and not get caught with your pants down. Plus, you can save quickly from the stop menu or by pressing F5 on a PC.
Use Stealth
As was already said, many fights are required. There aren’t as many of them as you might think, though. Sometimes you need something that your enemy has. If that happens, sneak up behind them and steal their valuable thing; you won’t even have to fight.
With stealth, it’s easy to do things like rush to the next Waypoint, especially later in Geometry Dash World when you can cast magic that make you invisible. Not many animals can see things that aren’t there, so this is a good way to get almost anywhere. However, don’t use it to avoid ambushes; they will happen no matter how well you are hidden.
Have High Charisma
The dialogue choices are some of the most dangerous in the game because they let you talk your way past a lot of enemies. Because of this, you can’t choose as many classes, but Charisma users are some of the strongest. If you want a conversation-heavy game, Bard is still the best pick.
This lets you move through the game normally, without having to worry about fighting all the time. You’ll have to draw your weapon at some point, but because talking your way through fights gives you full experience, you’ll always be at the right level to handle anything.
