A Baldur's Gate 3 YouTuber is offering a $500 reward to unlock a mysterious Karlach cutscene. This unique scene, where Karlach appears to acknowledge the game's existence, has baffled players since its initial discovery. While some claim to have encountered it organically, no verifiable proof exists.
The game's popularity and detail haven't prevented this intriguing puzzle from persisting. Proxy Gate Tactician (PGT), the YouTuber offering the bounty, suspects the cutscene is inaccessible without modding, contradicting claims from Karlach's voice actress, Samantha Beart. Beart hinted at further explanation once someone triggered the scene legitimately.
The challenge is simple: record a video showing the cutscene's activation without mods, upload it to YouTube, and notify PGT. The first successful submission before Baldur's Gate 3's Patch 7 (September release) wins the $500 prize.
However, PGT believes the challenge might be impossible. Data miners have found no evidence of the cutscene's vanilla accessibility, suggesting it may be cut content. If no one claims the bounty, the mystery of Karlach's fourth-wall-breaking moment may remain unsolved until further datamining reveals its intended purpose. The scene's unusual nature raises questions about its development history and potential removal.
