Baldur's Gate 3 player gives every NPC a +99 to their attacks, devises a harebrained build around being an unkillable wizard that obliterates anyone dumb enough to hit their shield

I just wrapped up my first honour mode playthrough in Baldur's Gate 3—and whenever I roll those golden dice, I feel a sense of pride. So of course the universe sends someone along to take a greatsword to my sense of self-worth by pulling off an even tougher challenge. Typical.

Bouch on YouTube has set themselves an absurd task: complete Baldur's Gate 3, on their own, while every single enemy has a +99 to their attack rolls. Oh, also, they can't have party members. Because obviously.

While they make it all the way to the Githyanki creche on Honour Mode before finally dying and switching to a 'dishonourable' playthrough, it's the strategies they employ that are the real star of the show. I'm just going to highlight one of them here, but it's a build I hadn't even considered until now: you hit me, you die.

Bouch switches things up to conquer the final boss of Act 2—«Time for a complete makeover,» they proudly announce. Firstly, they pick up one level in Warlock for Armour of Agathys, which deals cold damage to enemies who hit you in melee while its temporary hit points last. 

Then they grab the Warlock invocation Armour of Shadows for infinite casts of Mage Armour. You might be asking yourself why, since Mage Armour boosts your AC—doesn't that spell do nothing for Bouch? Ah, but you see—Mage Armour's an abjuration spell, and Bouch will be taking several electives in Wizard for the subclass ability Arcane Ward.

When you cast a levelled abjuration spell, Arcane Ward gets a charge. When you're hit, Arcane Ward reduces incoming damage by the amount of charges you have. Mage Armour is a levelled abjuration spell. The ward has a maximum of 12 stacks, but that's still a huge buff.

Just to add insult to non-injury, Bouch also grabs the Heavy Armour feat which reduces all incoming damage from non-magical attacks by 3. This stacks with the adamantine splint armour, which reduces similar damage by 2.

They also grab a level in Cleric's Tempest Domain for both Create Water and the
