"Baldur's Gate 3: Speedrunner Shatters Records with 10-Minute Completion"
A speedrunner named Mae has set a world record by completing Baldur's Gate 3 in just 10 minutes and three seconds. By exploiting a specific choice in the game's second act involving the companion Gale, speedrunners can achieve a false ending that counts as a finish. Mae's strategy involves skipping important moments and conversations, using clever positioning to avoid battles, and utilizing Gale's Enhanced Leap ability to jump through the game quickly. This method has also been used by other players, with 368 completing the game in the first weekend.
