Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion Secret spell scroll - Flesh to Gold

If you give all the gold to the tax collector Thorm at the Customs in act 2, you can get a unique scroll without a description of the effect. There absolutely must be an Easter egg hidden here somewhere.

It turns flesh into gold as a permanent state, like petrification.

I'm wondering how the game will react if I turn a key character like Ketheric Thorm, Raphael, Emperor, Dame Aylin or Jergal into a statue. This should break many of the castscenes and plot, OR show the game's reaction and easter eggs

Wow, that's a really interesting idea. I'll try to do this

Now I conducted a test and using a safe scam turned the invulnerable Keteric Torm into a golden statue. This made the battle eternal, Ketheric remains on the action track but cannot do anything.

I'll try to do this again, but after going to Night Song. This should break the game and prevent him from escaping with the help of the Elder Brain

So I checked out Ketheric Torm after visiting Nightsong.

This scroll is capable of bugging the game, at the moment when the castscene should be played, nothing happens, but the petrification passes and you can continue to beat them.

As a result, Ketheric Torm continues to fight with 0 HP, and it is impossible to kill him on the roof of the towers, so as not to crash the game

You only have to lower his HP to 40 up there for another cutscene, since you have fight him again 2 more times.

When his HP drops below 40, but he is in the golden statue state, the castscene does not trigger. Instead, he is cured of this condition and continues the fight, but it is impossible to kill him even with 0 hp because he is scripted and cannot die on the roof

I also checked the possibility of turning Gortash into a golden statue.
This is possible, but it will not interfere with the coronation scene. If he turns into a statue after this, everyone becomes hostile.
Perhaps we can try "higher invisibility" rather than just regular invisibility to prevent the castscene from triggering.

My next experiment is to prevent the castscene with Jergal, at the moment of Dark Urge's redemption, what will happen if Jergal is in the form of a golden statue

Ah. I'd forgotten about that scroll. I was having too much fun making Thorms kill themselves

As a wizard, are you able to learn it?
