New parents have played so much Baldur’s Gate 3 that their one-and-a-half-year-old son prefers the RPG’s soundtrack to nursery rhymes. A video with more than 1.4 million views captures the toddler belting out one of Larian Studios’ most iconic songs.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is full of unforgettable moments, but one boss fight truly stands out for its sheer spectacle. If you’ve played it, you know: facing off with Raphael is a highlight, not just for the story’s stakes but because the villain launches into song during the battle. Borislav Slavov’s composition, performed by Andrew Wincott, has become such a sensation that the “Raphael Song” has been watched over seven million times since launch.
What’s astonishing isn’t just that millions of fans can recite the lyrics, but that a toddler—barely a year and a half old—can sing along, much to his parents’ delight. On TikTok, the boy’s mother posted a now-viral video where her “little bard” hums and sings lines from the now-iconic boss battle.
“When your parents are gamers and Baldur’s Gate 3 has been your background music your entire life,” the proud mom jokes in the TikTok that’s clocked over 1.4 million views and nearly 175,000 likes. “Who needs a soundtrack when you have a kid raised on BG3?” she quips in another video as her son continues to hum Raphael’s theme.
One of Baldur’s Gate 3’s Most Legendary Moments
The Raphael boss scene is cemented in gaming history, and, as BG3 composer Borislav Slavov confirmed, it wasn’t even his idea—it was the brainchild of the game’s director. Picture a Disney musical number, but with all the dark, menacing energy you’d expect from a demon: what could have been a typical boss fight became one of the most epic and theatrical in recent RPG memory.
It’s yet another sign of the passion Larian poured into BG3, which still delights fans with new details and secrets two years after launch. Despite the love, Larian has confirmed it’s not working on Baldur’s Gate 4 or DLC for BG3, choosing instead to focus on its own IP. Since then, news has been quiet on the studio’s next RPG, though their Divinity: Original Sin universe remains beloved.
