Baldur's Gate 3 is a game with great replay value, but sometimes we can get too familiar with the gameplay and storyline. This article offers a few fun challenges, some of them Gameleap exclusive content, which will make your next BG3 playthrough more interesting.

Honour Mode

This one is quite obvious, but not every BG3 player has tried it out so far. Check out Honour Mode, which makes the game way more difficult than it already is. If you thought Baldur's Gate 3 was easy, this mode will surely have you rethinking every action and dusting off your tactical skills.

Solo Run / The Lone Wolf

Divinity Original Sin 2 encouraged players to take up the adventure on their own as a 'Lone Wolf.' Nothing is stopping you from trying to finish Baldur's Gate 3 completely on your own, with no companions to back you up. This surely offers more of a challenge and a need to think about each and every action you take, especially while facing off against bosses.

Luality seems to be the queen of solo play, so maybe you can check out her numerous single-player playthroughs of games and tough battles for inspiration.

Beat the Game without Killing Anyone

For the pacifists in Baldur's Gate 3, you can try to beat the game without killing anyone. This seems to be a tough job in a game centered around turn-based battles. Try your best to bypass all killing in the game and see how long you will last.

Potato Only

YouTuber Spud The King introduced the Potato Challenge in which you're supposed to go through BG3 in its entirety only by relying on a... well, potato. This challenge can be quite tough until you find a potato, which will be your main weapon, but that's the fun of it.

Bonnie and Clyde

Take Astarion (or Shadowheart) and go on a mischievous adventure. Just Tav and a companion, doing their best to scheme and steal their way to the top. Pickpocket, kill sneakily, lie, deceive, and never face off against your enemies straight ahead.

Improvised Weapons Only or ('Insert Element' Only)

Many content creators offer '--- Only' challenges in BG3. Finish the game only by using improvised weapons, spells, no spells, etc. This challenge is completely customizable, according to your preference.

Elementalist Challenge

Get a wizard, druid or a sorcerer and pick one element - fire, water, earth, air, or electricity. Once you do, you're supposed to stick only to BG3 spells related to your element and nothing else.

Kill 'Em All

This challenge will make you kill everyone you ever encounter in Baldur's Gate 3, basically forcing you into a constant battle if you're into that. There's only one rule: no one is left alive!

Reality Check

No rerolling, no reloading old files - The 'No Cheating' BG3 challenge makes you go through the game fairly, without choosing the right option whenever you feel like it. You're also not allowed to revive your companions with scrolls - if they die, they die, and you can't do anything about it.

We hope you enjoy these BG3 challenges as much as we do! Have fun!
