Click NOW or STAY WEAK FOREVER!

Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to captivate, with over 200,000 daily players diving into its Honour Mode depths eight months after Patch 8’s final tweaks. But a viral YouTube challenge has gamers reeling: Can you conquer the full campaign – solo, on Honour Mode – equipping only the game’s 18 legendary items? No very rares, no commons, no exploits… wait, exploits? Creator Not Legendary’s December 21, 2025, video answers with a resounding yes, racking up 48,000 views in two weeks through sheer audacity: 24 failed runs, item duplication glitches, and box-stacking towers to the sky. It’s not just possible – it’s broken. Here’s the exhaustive guide: items, rules, builds, and boss meltdowns.

The Legendary Arsenal: 18 God-Tier Relics

BG3’s legendaries – rarity’s pinnacle – number 18, scattered across acts via quests, bosses, and puzzles. They’re powerhouse uniques: +3 weapons, game-changing passives, and slots for helm, armor, gloves, shields, rings? Nope – accessories are very rare max, forcing naked runs early. Acquiring all demands detours, like tricking circus barkers or storming devil lairs.

The Rules: Purity or Perish

Not Legendary’s ironclad: Equip only legendaries. All damage from them (attacks, passives, throws). Solo Tav – companions/summons OK as meatshields, but no non-legendary damage. Honour Mode: One life, legendary boss actions (extra turns). Streamer Morgana Evelyn tweaked: Party viable, but same equip/damage limits – stalled mid-Act 2.

Act 1 hell: Naked (AC 10), no damage pre-Lathander. Stealth/invis potions to skip fights.

Builds: Respec Chaos for Supremacy

Tav starts Trickery Cleric (Shadowheart skin) for Minor Illusion/Invoke Duplicity (dupe items 2x/short rest at lvl 6). Respecs via Withers:

Mid

Action Surge
Burst throws

Dupe Lathander/Silver Sword x50+. Throw as Giant Barb: 100s damage/clip. Mask shapeshift to “Shadowgith” for Gith buffs.

Act-by-Act Domination

Act 1: 24 fails. Stealth Nautiloid/Grove. Command Voss for Silver (retry RNG). Lathander puzzle: Dupe maces, sunbeam goblins. Grymforge: Throws from crates.

Act 2: Spears dilemma – Selûne (spare Nightsong) or Shar? Both duped. Shadow Curse: Ogres tank, moonbeam clears. Ketheric: Box tower (100+ crates, 3hrs) for high-ground throws; Myrkul cheese (hidden ascension?).

Act 3: Raphael: Silence, non-lethal, stat-drain Helldusk. Orin: Dupe daggers. Ansur: Giantslayer. Netherbrain: 2-turn nova – Orpheus buffs, aberration arrow one-shots.

Community Rage and Viability

Reddit/X buzz: “Chest evaporates Shar worshipper!” Top comments hail glitches as “hilarious genius.” Purists cry exploits void it; fans demand patches. Party variants (Morgana) viable sans solo cheese.

This run proves BG3’s depth: Limited gear forces creativity. Try it – but save often. Larian’s silence? Patch 9 nerfs incoming?
