“Baldur’s Gate 3” (Baldur’s Gate 3) can be played for more than 100 hours in a normal week, but the SpeedRun community can often clear the level and see the list of developers in a few minutes. At present, this record has changed from the original 10 The minutes were squeezed into less than 5 minutes, and the time can be shortened so much, thanks to the help of the well-known character “Shadow Heart” in the game.
Players who are familiar with the speedrunning information of “Baldur’s Gate 3” may know that the most popular method is the “Gael ending”, which makes him directly trigger the conditions for clearing all levels in Chapter 2, but now SpeedRun masters have developed a new The method is called “Shadowboxing”, and this method can only be achieved by “Shadowboxing”.
The following brief introduction to customs clearance may involve Gale’s main core plot. If you don’t want to be bombarded, please watch carefully before downloading.

As previously reported, the SpeedRun masters chose Gale to start, mainly because he can achieve the “explosive ending” in Chapter 2 (also Gail’s own BE ending), and the speedrunning method relies entirely on Gale’s two-stroke spell ” Enhanced Jump” and “Feather Fall” to skip many battle scenes in Chapters 1 and 2.
And the weirdest “Shadow Heart in the Box” method is that the player comes to the second chapter of the Trial Tower cliff, and also uses Gale to “skip” the battle between the death shepherd and the ghoul, and directly find the archmage Ilmin Stuart Elmo triggers the plot.
Then back at camp, the RTA player kills Shadowheart, the only ally, on the spot, stripping him of all his gear and packing him in a crate. What’s even more amazing is that they also cast Grease in front of the campfire to cause an explosion, and then set the crate on top of it to burn.
While the crate is still hot, the player must then adjust the viewing angle and drag the crate containing Shadowheart’s corpse to an invisible corner. Miraculously, all of a sudden, the player can trigger the second Chapter’s playthrough ending cutscene.
At present, the fastest time achieved by this routine is the in-game time record (IGA) of 4 minutes and 15 seconds achieved by Mae. Since I don’t know the principle, I only know that it can only be done with the corpses packed by Shadow Heart, which also caused many players to be in an uproar .
Although most players can’t understand it, SpeedRun is a kind of player spirit that challenges the limits of the game, whether it is the limit of technology or the limit of finding bugs, especially the special way of jumping off levels is often talked about, and the more weird the method, the more exciting it is. good.
