Baldur's Gate 3 Player Offers Reward for AI Companion Scene

A Baldur's Gate 3 mystery: a $500 bounty for a bizarre Karlach cutscene.

The hit RPG Baldur's Gate 3, renowned for its detail, holds a peculiar secret: a cutscene where Karlach appears aware of her existence within the game. This fourth-wall-breaking moment, initially dismissed as inaccessible without modding, has sparked a challenge.

YouTuber Proxy Gate Tactician (PGT) is offering a $500 reward for anyone who can trigger this Karlach cutscene organically—without mods—before Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 7 in September. While some players claim to have seen it in standard playthroughs, no verifiable proof exists. Data miners have found no evidence suggesting the scene is accessible without game file manipulation.

The challenge: record the cutscene's triggering and upload it to YouTube, notifying PGT via a comment on their challenge video. The first successful entrant wins the bounty.

The possibility remains that this cutscene is simply a myth, cut content from the game's development. Even if the challenge goes unclaimed, the mystery surrounding Karlach's meta-awareness continues, potentially yielding more answers through future data mining efforts. For now, it remains an intriguing enigma within the already complex world of Baldur's Gate 3.
