Eagle-eyed Baldur's Gate 3 players have found a nifty trick that helps spot frustrating invisible enemies in battle by using a handy and simple tool. Released in August 2023, Baldur's Gate 3 is a fascinating fantasy RPG game that is based on the popular tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, bringing the world of the tabletop game into the video game world.
Players are able to pick from several pre-designed Baldur's Gate 3 origin characters or simply create their own original character from the wide range of races and classes available. The game has won a host of awards, from Game of the Year and Best RPG to the Best Multiplayer Game, and has only continued to grow in size and popularity since then, thanks to continued content releases and updates from Larian Studios. One of the many reasons players love Baldur's Gate 3 so much is not only down to its incredible storylines and intricate characters, but also its combat mechanics, even though some encounters can be rather difficult.
On Reddit, helpful players have come up with a handy trick after noticing how difficult it can be to spot Baldur's Gate 3's invisible enemies during battles. User BigBoiFloop explained that if players want to "cheese" sneaky hostiles who aren't showing up on the screen, all they have to do is select the character they want to move and then pan around the ground until the marker line finds an area that looks like it doesn't line up properly. This is where the invisible foe is hiding by taking up that particular space, allowing players to maneuver into this area and providing the perfect ambush by using an area-of-effect, or AOE, attack to reveal them.
Baldur's Gate 3 Players Provide Handy Trick to Cheese Invisible Enemies
In the post's comments, another Baldur's Gate 3 player offered an even simpler trick on how to spot invisible enemies. User Norkash stated that all players have to do is "keybind the 'ping' button, then use the keybind on the invisible enemy's portrait in the initiative order. It will ping their exact location even if they moved.” Many commenters in the thread were amazed at how easy it now was to spot invisible hostiles, having previously struggled with this frustrating combat element. One player said that they had used the simple keybind exploit to cheese the Auntie Ethel boss fight and had found it incredibly useful.
With Patch 7 bringing new cinematics for darker story paths, a dynamic split-screen mode, official modding tools, and more, Larian Studios continues its commitment to enhancing the player experience. Even though Baldur’s Gate 3 won’t receive a dedicated DLC, these frequent updates continue to provide players with countless reasons to pursue their adventures in Faerun.
