Even after a standout AGDQ showing, prolific Baldur's Gate 3 speedrunner Mae shows no signs of pumping the brakes any time soon. Building on the strategies shown off at AGDQ, the runner brought BG3's all-acts world record under 20 minutes before zipping through the megahard permadeath Honour mode in 21:17 for another world record the very next day.
I didn't notice any new strategies on display in these two runs, just a faster, cleaner implementation. Indeed, there are some maneuvers from the two-act any% run that remain crucial here. Max Strength with magically enhanced leaps allow Mae to moon jump past encounters, while killing companions and stuffing them into boxes or other characters' inventories seems to be the Divinity Engine's kryptonite, enabling all kinds of skips and mischief.
