Nearly a year after Baldur's Gate 3's full release, dedicated players are still unearthing rare interactions tied to fail-safes and backup fail-safes designed to prevent us from unwittingly breaking the game. The latest find comes from 1,400-hour sleuth Proxy Gate Tactician, who found a lucky merchant, magic fish, spontaneous kobolds, and a true soft lock tied to some of the most important items in the whole RPG: the Netherstones.
The Netherstones are, uh, borrowed from the RPG's three main villains and used in the fight against the big bad Netherbrain, so they're pretty important - and since they're late-game items, you should take the rest of this breakdown with a big ol' spoiler warning. Proxy Gate, who you may know for putting out a $500 bounty for an extremely rare Karlach cutscene, wanted to see what happens if you lose these items in frankly unthinkable ways, like chucking them into the sea or a soon-to-explode factory.
