Summary
ABaldur’s Gate 3player online has shared a terrifying glitch in-game, which makes the game’s parasites absolutely enormous. When Larian added the parasites inBaldur’s Gate 3to infect the player, having them be this large was certainly not the original intention, making for a scary sight.
In a game the size ofBaldur’s Gate 3, a few bugs are always going to slip by the studio throughout development. This is especially the case when a title is as popular asBaldur’s Gate 3, with millions of gamers playing the game in many different ways. When the game was first released, many of the game’s bugs proved to be game-breaking, although Larian has done a solid job at getting rid of them as quickly as possible. Instead, gamers are now finding more light-hearted issues, such as theBaldur’s Gate 3glitch that makes a dangerous boss much less menacing.

Redditor atypicalarsonist posted footage of thebizarreBaldur’s Gate 3glitchonline, showing their Tav holding the parasite. Instead of its normal size, it appears to have been scaled up massively, leading to many questions about how the protagonist would actually be able to place it into their brain, if they so desired. According to the player, they accidentally chose to resist the parasite, as they were too preoccupied with looking at the strange issue to notice what was happening in-game. However, they regret it, as they wanted to see what this huge parasite would look like while being absorbed by Tav.
Huge Parasite Glitch in Baldur’s Gate 3
It’s common to askwhether players should use the parasites inBaldur’s Gate 3, but gamers in this thread had a different take, with one even claiming that “the parasite absorbs you.” Others were simply surprised at the amazing level of detail featured on the parasite model, especially considering how small it’s usually intended to be in-game. This is just another example of the amazing level of detail that went intoBaldur’s Gate 3from Larian Studios.
There’s no doubt going forward thatBaldur’s Gate 4has an uphill battle without Larian. The studio recently announced that it would be moving forward with its own projects, as opposed to remaining with theBaldur’s Gatefranchise. Hasbro has a huge task on its hands when it comes to choosing a successor, but it will likely be some time before any concrete news comes out in this regard. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see what Larian has in the works.
