A recent revelation has delighted Baldur’s Gate 3 players
A recent revelation has delighted Baldur’s Gate 3 players, as they discovered a delightful detail about a peculiar in-game companion – a hamster named Boo.
##Role of the Hamster in the Game
Minsc, a Rashemaar warrior in the game, is one of many companions players can partner with as they journey through the realms of Baldur’s Gate 3. Minsc’s entrance isn't until Act 3, and acquiring him requires inviting another member to the party - Boo, Minsc's pet hamster. This fuzzy companion does more than just look adorable; Boo joins in the gaming action when summoned. During battles, if Boo is thrown, it bites, and can even deal a fatal blow. One gamer discovered that other companions can communicate with Boo in the heat of battle.
Interaction with Boo during Battles
During battles, when Boo assists the players, Minsc might voice commands such as 'See evil? Fetch Justice!'. Surprisingly, these enthusiastic hamster-related battle cries aren't exclusive to the Rashemaar warrior. Each companion can shout a line when the hamster is flung into action. It has been noted that Shadowheart might say, 'Show NO mercy, Boo!'. Similarly, Astarion might exclaim, 'Go for the neck, Boo!' or, 'Eat hamster, fiend!' Praising Boo's mightiness, Lae’zel may utter a line of dialogue stating, 'The mighty Boo strikes!'.
Additional lines include 'Feast on their flesh, Boo!' from Minthara, and from Wyll, the random words of encouragement, 'What would Minsc say? Ah yes – ‘Go for the eyes, Boo!'.
Gamers unsuspecting of Boo's capabilities were flabbergasted by this revelation of the hamster holding any significance in battle. Those aware commented on the game's impressiveness, and others appreciated the attention to detail, remarking that lines directed at Boo perfectly reflect the attitude and backstory of the character voicing them.
Among the comments, one about Lae’zel's dialogue read, 'Makes sense Lae’zel would be supportive of Boo when she discounts everything else. The Githyanki have seen what Boo’s kind are capable of.' Evidently, Baldur’s Gate 3 and its incredibly dense world have much more for players to uncover. Players look forward to more intriguing revelations as they continue to explore.
