Bored?Shove.Can’t win a fight?Shove.Wanna annoy Astarion for a laugh?SHOVE.When in doubt, the solution to anyBaldur’s Gate 3problem is to shove. But Cazador has grown wise to this tactic. So, as per the new update, pushing him off a ledge won’t kill him.
Cazador suddenly remembered he can turn into mist and fly, so he’ll no longer give up the ghost if he falls into a chasm.
Prior to the patch, cheesing Cazador was pretty simple - wait until he turns into ‘human’ form, let him run to a ledge, go over, shove him. He falls into the abyss and dies. Simple. Now, you have to actually fight him. You can always cast Daylight, but that’ll kill every other vampire too.
Luckily,Balthazar isn’t a vampireso he can’t transform into a swarm of bats or a cloud of mist, so you can still get through his fight by shoving him off the edge. The downside is that you can’t loot corpses if they’re hundreds of feet below in the perilous unknown. But who needs loot when you’ve got Lae’zel’s treetrunk arms sending people flying?
As for Cazador, not only is it harder to cheese him, but he now has Legendary Resistance in Tactician Mode. Again, Daylight will work, just get ready to slaughter every single vampire within the vicinity of the spell. I doubt Astarion will be pleased, and if I know one thing about the Baldur’s Gate 3 fanbase, it’s that they will do anything to make Astarion happy.
It’s not all doom and gloom, though. The patch also makes it so that the Gur will support you in the endgame if you resolve their questline peacefully in Cazador’s lair. Harder fight, but more reason to do it - seems fair, eh?
This update also implemented a colour-blind mode that you can find in the accessibility tab. You can choose between protanopia, deuteranopia, ore tritanopia.
Instead of messing about with Cazador in Act 3, you can pop by Boney in the circus. He sells a statue of your character, but as per the new patch, you can make that statue naked. The perfect gift for your romantic campsite fling, or the most intimidating trinket to dangle in front of your enemies. Whatever floats your boat.
Moving away from vampires, let’s talk about spiders! Big, too-many-legged, ugly spiders. you may lick one in the game, to the disgust of your party (particularly Gale), but Larian Studios is now punishing those of you who enjoy a sip of arachnid corpse juice. As of today, there’s a chance you’ll get sick. Can’t shove evil vampires off cliffs, can’t lick dead spiders, what’s next?
