Discovered Hidden Treasure in Baldur's Gate 3: A Mystical Sheep Connection, 'Harvard Willoughby', Unveiled upon Comedian's Demise and Bell-Ringing after 460 Hours of Gameplay
Unleashing the Mystical Sheep in Baldur's Gate 3:
Woah, hold on to your hats, folks! YouTuber SlimX dropped a mind-boggling secret about Baldur's Gate 3 during his walkthrough, and it's straight-up wild! Ever thought about summoning a magical sheep to cast endgame spells? Well, grab a minor NPC, kill 'em, ring both of the Act 3 bell tower bells, and voila, you've got yourself a magical mystery tour!
Now, let's dive in! This legendary shepherd goes by the name of Harvard Willoughby, a jocular fellow donning a monocle and a thick mustache. You might've crossed paths with this cat in normal play at the Elfsong Tavern's open mic night, where he challenges you to a duel of wits. Off him, and you're on the path to meeting the true Harvard Willoughby.
Next up, it's time to climb the Lower City guard tower, then the Church of the Open Hand belfry in Rivington, and give those bells a good old ring in the right order. Nothing fancy here, just the sweet sound of metal, and surely, your quest continues uninterrupted. But hey, a "Mysterious egg" will pop up in your party camp, and you'll find it near the chicken coop at the Rivington bivouac or perhaps lurking at other locations like the Lower City docks or Elfsong Tavern.
Egg’s-actly what you think, dude! This egg holds the key (or the yolk, or whatever your preferred egg pun is) to summoning Harvard Willoughby, "Nature's Fury." This Harv only packs a modest 29-54 HP depending on your difficulty level, but he casts his spells with an impressive flair, including Call Lightning and Wall of Thorns.
Harvard's got sparks flying when entering combat encounters, and he even has a chance to explode at the beginning of each round as the fight protracts. Misfortunes befall him, and he's gone for good.
That's some devvie dressing for Harvard Willoughby, no doubt a nod to the game developers' favorite wooly companion. So, it's presumably the real deal—don't settle for imitations!
Reminds me of Diablo 2's legendary Cow Level, a hidden easter egg that no one on earth would find without a map. Or The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind's Eltonbrand, an upgraded katana that requires a vampire, a specific key, and a ridiculous amount of gold to get.
I'm stoked about this hidden gem in Baldur's Gate 3, ya know? Cutting edge gaming right here.
