Baldur's Gate 3: 10 Rare Scenes You Probably Missed

Numerama has listed 10 rare scenes in Baldur's Gate 3 triggered by very specific conditions. Proof that Larian Studios has hidden far more than most players have seen.

BG3 still has secrets

Larian Studios has released an official video featuring ten of the rarest scenes from Baldur's Gate 3—moments that the vast majority of players have likely never seen. Numerama is sharing this selection for good reason: these scenes require very specific trigger conditions, sometimes combined with character choices, class, race, or decisions made much earlier in the game.

Baldur's Gate 3, released in version 1.0 in August 2023, continues to surprise three years after its launch. It’s one of Larian Studios’ hallmarks: an attention to detail that goes far beyond what the average player—even a completionist—discovers. Every playthrough is different, and BG3 was designed to reward systematic exploration and unconventional approaches.

Why BG3 remains a benchmark in this area

What sets BG3 apart from classic RPGs in terms of rare scenes is its combinatorics: trigger conditions aren’t just about "having the right skill" but often about "having made this decision in Chapter 1, with this companion, and this character background." The result is a web of possibilities that even the most dedicated players haven’t exhausted after three years.

Who this is relevant for

If you’ve completed BG3 once (or even twice), Larian’s official video might inspire you to start a new run with a different angle. If you haven’t started yet, it’s a great illustration of why the game deserves so much praise: Larian has built something that reveals itself over a long time.

Warning: the Larian video and Numerama article contain spoilers for specific scenes. Consult them at your convenience based on your progress in the game.

To remember: BG3 remains one of the best-constructed games of the decade when it comes to hidden depth. For whom: RPG fans looking for an excuse for a third playthrough.
