Summary
Honour Mode is alreadya notoriously difficultway to play throughBaldur’s Gate 3— you have one save file, which means dying is permanent, and enemies are tougher than in Tactician while bosses have unique Legendary Actions. But it can get even harder.
A bug which has been plaguing Baldur’s Gate 3 fans for months sees Ketheric Thorm duplicate himself duringthe Mindflayer Colony boss fightat the end of Act 2. It’s rare, but hardly ideal when you’re trying to earn the coveted golden die.
Funnily enough,Elden Ringplayers arestillhaving this problemwith the final boss inShadow of the Erdtree.
“All is going really well, mindflayer gone in first round, Ketheric going down quickly,“one Reddit user wrote, detailing their horrific encounter with the rare Ketheric Thorm twins. “All of a sudden, in the turn before he dies and Myrkul appears, ANOTHER KETHERIC SPAWNS at full health!? As if this fight isn’t hard enough in Honour Mode.”
This Is Getting Out Of Hand! Now, There Are Two Of Them!
Two Ketheric Thorms was understandably too much for this player to handle, so their Honour Mode came to an incredibly unfair, premature end. But that’s not the worst of it — that same player ran into the bug a second time.
Luckily, they found a fix. So, just in case you ever run into this glitch for yourself, take note. Force quitting and reloading the game prevents a second Ketheric Thorm from spawning, even in Honour Mode. Thank the Absolute, eh? And to nicely wrap up their story, this was the Honour Mode they eventually triumphed against.
The poster claims they had no mods installed, so it seems like an issue with base Baldur’s Gate 3.
Thereisan upside to the glitch, however. If you manage to survive the ganking and kill both Ketherics, you’ll get two sets of his armour. This means that you and your favourite companion can pal around the Sword Coast cosplaying as the Apostle of Myrkul himself. But of course, beating two Ketherics isn’t an easy feat.
