Baldur’s Gate 3 is filled with tough battles and epic challenges as your character attempts to free themselves of theirMind Flayerfate. One unsuspecting fight often gets missed, though, and it’s easily one of the best in the game.
Due to the pure number of choices in Baldur’s Gate 3, it’s easy to miss multiple questlines, NPCs, battles, or even entire locations. After all, if you choose to follow the Grove and go through the Underdark to get to Act Two, you’ll miss the entire Githyanki Creche – much to Lae’zel’s very verbal disappointment.
However, if you do choose to bypass theGithyanki Crechethen you’ll be missing out on one of the most challenging but easily the most entertaining and strategic fight in the entire game.
The fight in question requires battling the entire Creche in one go, so if you do choose to experience this battle, do it out ofHonour Modeand make sure you’re okay with forgoing the Githyanki questline for the rest of the story.
As detailed by players on theBaldur’s Gate 3 Reddit, the Creche battle is one you should try at least once. One fan called it “the most difficult, nerve-wracking, and fun encounter I’ve had throughout my 700+ hours thus far” while another called it a “tough battle” while commenting on how rewarding it is to succeed.
While recommending the fight, one Baldur’s Gate 3 player highlighted the tactical nature, adding that they “felt like I couldn’t mindlessly spam my way out of this one, and actually had to think and strategize” due to it being such a large group of enemies.
