Just when you thought Baldur’s Gate 3 couldn’t surprise you anymore, Larian’s fantasy RPG delivers yet another clever way to mess with goblins. A simple war drum might be the key to making your battle against them much easier in Act 1.

One of the best things about Baldur’s Gate 3 is its ability to react dynamically to your every move, no matter how absurd. This is precisely why, even months after launch, Larian Studios’ RPG continues to amaze players with hidden details and unexpected interactions. The latest discovery takes place in the goblin camp in Act 1. What happens if you repeatedly beat their war drums? The result is yet another reason why Baldur’s Gate 3 is a top-tier RPG.

If you keep hitting the drums scattered throughout the goblin camp, the guards will become increasingly annoyed. Then, when a real attack happens and their allies sound the alarm, they won’t respond. As always in Baldur’s Gate 3, these kinds of interactions are only uncovered by experimenting with the game’s mechanics. Sure, you could just charge in and slaughter everything in sight, but where’s the fun in that?

A Lesson Straight Out of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”

If you choose to infiltrate the goblin camp instead of attacking head-on, there are some surprisingly clever ways to manipulate the situation. The first time you strike a war drum, a group of goblins will show up expecting trouble. However, one of them will shrug it off, assuming you were just fooling around. If you hit the drum again, they’ll return, visibly irritated, and warn you: “Don’t mess with us.”

But if you strike it a third time, they’ll completely lose interest and leave. What impact does this have? Besides being hilarious, it means that when an actual battle breaks out and their allies try to call for reinforcements, nobody will come to help. This makes storming their stronghold far easier.

Baldur’s Gate 3 Keeps Expanding

Since its launch in August 2023, Baldur’s Gate 3 has continued to evolve with major updates and additional content. Furthermore, the game now fully supports modding, meaning players can look forward to an ever-expanding array of new experiences.

These kinds of discoveries highlight why Baldur’s Gate 3 (just like Divinity: Original Sin before it) is an RPG masterpiece. Its level of freedom ensures that even months later, players are still uncovering new ways to engage with its world.
