Many players will overcome Baldur's Gate 3's greediest boss, Gerringothe Thorm, by charming, killing, or simply avoiding her. But if you're generous enough to bribe your way through the tollkeeper's encounter with at least 5,000 gold, you can bag one of the rarest spells in the whole RPG: Flesh to Gold. Gerringothe's scroll is the only way to use this spell, which can turn nearly anything into an immobile hunk of solid gold, and you only get one scroll per playthrough. This would make it difficult to, say, turn most of the bosses in Act 3 into gilded trophies – but not impossible, as one player proved in their recent "Midas run."
Our gilded hero, Reddit user NnmnsP, first developed a taste for all things glittering after successfully turning Myrkul into gold in Act 2. Sadly, "Myrkul seems to be coded to not be permanently gold," they reported. "Every time he failed spell DC at stage 3, his 'turned to gold' condition is removed."
