Baldur's Gate 3 Player Executes Insanely Unbelievable Dice Roll

One Baldur's Gate 3 player has experienced an incredibly fortunate moment, achieving a near-impossible dice roll at a crucial point in the game's storyline. While most players stumble on this particular roll, this dedicated gamer finally nailed it on their ninth playthrough of Larian's expansive RPG.

Baldur's Gate 3, deeply rooted in Dungeons & Dragons mechanics, heavily relies on dice rolls to determine outcomes. A strong roll versus a weak one can mean the difference between emerging victorious in battle or facing defeat. These dice rolls are integral to the narrative, often guiding players' journeys through the story based on a single stroke of luck.

Though this randomness might not appeal to everyone, it undeniably captures the essence of playing an epic Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Throughout the game, players frequently find themselves on the brink of failure, only to have fortune turn things around in an instant.

Reddit user 12timm343 recently shared a screenshot showcasing their achievement: successfully hitting a 99 Difficulty Class dice roll during Baldur's Gate 3's climax. Given that this roll is unattainable even with various modifiers, it means they rolled a 20, which the game recognizes as a Critical Success.

This roll is crucial as it determines how well the player can dominate the Elder Brain, making it one of the toughest checks in the game. Impressively, 12timm343 achieved this feat without resorting to rerolls or using inspiration, making it a perfect dice roll at one of the most pivotal moments in the game.

Baldur's Gate 3 Player Scores Critical Success at Just the Right Time

Interestingly, regardless of whether players succeed in dominating Baldur's Gate 3's Elder Brain with this dice roll, the outcome remains the same. However, those who hit this Critical Success receive a significant advantage—a 20% reduction in the Elder Brain's HP before the battle begins. Given that this is one of the toughest fights in Baldur's Gate 3, this bonus is a welcome reward for the fortunate few who manage to land that elusive Critical Success.

With Patch 7 for Baldur's Gate 3 set to release soon on PC, fans have plenty to be excited about. Although Larian Studios is gradually moving on from the game, the introduction of official modding tools promises to breathe new life into the game, ensuring that the community will keep it thriving for years to come.
