One Unfortunate Baldur's Gate 3 Bug Could Ruin Your Honour Mode Run At The Worst Time

players on Honour Mode are running into a frustrating glitch that can easily end the permadeath run. During the finale of Act 2, the boss fight against Ketheric Throm has seen the villain randomly duplicating himself, with another version of him getting full health after the Apostle of Myrkul takes a turn. This has been a bug plaguing the game for months with no end in sight, nor any record of direct causation. While some players speculate this glitch comes from Tactician difficulty, others have recalled this same thing happening regardless of difficulty level.

The Honour Mode run is extremely difficult already, as players only get one shot. Death is permanent, so having a glitch that makes winning almost impossible is not the best experience for players. Ketheric is a chapter-ending boss for a reason, so this glitch seems to occur at an especially unfortunate time. Fortunately, players have been able to come up with a solution to save all the progress made and not completely throw the whole run away. This is good news for anyone trying to finish an Honour Mode run.

Players on Reddit were discussing the glitch and how frustrating it had become. While it is apparently rare, it seems a lot of people are going through it. Redditor Charrybdeezhands first mentioned the two Ketherics showing up to ask why exactly this was happening. Unfortunately, it seems no one has a clear understanding of what triggers the bug. Some believe it is somehow linked to playing on Tactician difficulty or above, though this has yet to be proven as definitive. Mods also seemingly have nothing to do with triggering the glitch.

Loads of players chimed in with their own experiences, noting how the two Ketherics either ruined their Honour Mode run or made victory almost impossible. Reddit user Aren13GamerZ did manage to win, but said the process was extremely difficult and almost killed their whole party.
