- User accidentally turned Scratch into an overpowered anti-mage grenade in Baldur's Gate 3.
- The discovery makes Scratch very useful in fights against magic users.
- The game's dynamic sandbox allows for endless player creativity, offering high replayability.
A Baldur's Gate 3 player online has accidentally transformed Scratch into a hilarious "anti-mage grenade" using Sussur Bloom. The happy accident turns Scratch into one of the most useful Baldur's Gate 3 traveling companions to have summoned while in combat.
The dynamic sandbox of Baldur's Gate 3 offers players the opportunity to do almost anything they can imagine. If a player can think of a way to solve a specific scenario, then there's a good chance that Larian accounts for this in the game, even if there's a very low chance many gamers will actually see it. This level of freedom offers tons of replayability to Baldur's Gate 3, and results in lots of unique moments that feel natural. For example, there was one Baldur's Gate 3 player who managed to get Mayrina's husband all the way to the final boss fight, and the game actually allowed them to do that. It's this kind of thing that will keep players engaged with Baldur's Gate 3 for many years to come.

Redditor JustCreamyThings shared their happy accident, after trying to check if they can throw Baldur's Gate 3 Sussur Bloom without destroying it. This item has a magical effect that makes anyone in range of it unable to cast spells. When the player threw it, Scratch ran after it and ate it. This gave Scratch the Sussur Bloom's effect, transforming him into what the user called an "anti-mage grenade." Scratch can be summoned while in combat, so when fighting any magic users, it would be hilariously overpowered if the player simply left Baldur's Gate 3's best boy near his enemies.
Baldur's Gate 3 Player Uses Sussur Bloom To Make Scratch Overpowered
Many in the thread had their doubts about whether this would work when the player is out of Baldur's Gate 3's Underdark. They went ahead and tested it, and it does continue to work. This method could absolutely be used to weaponize Scratch's new-found anti-magic powers. It might be a little tedious, but it would make certain fights a breeze.
Despite being over a year old now, Baldur's Gate 3 continues to go from strength to strength. It was recently revealed that Baldur's Gate 3 has more active users than in 2023, despite Larian largely moving on from the game. The game definitely deserves its flowers, and it's great to see players continue to embrace it. No doubt, through community creations like mods, Baldur's Gate 3 will continue to thrive for a very long time.
