A challenging achievement called “Foehammer” has been discovered in Baldur’s Gate 3, hinting at a potential new game mode. This mode, known as honor mode, would require players to complete the game with permadeath and only one save file.
One player stumbled upon the Foehammer achievement in their GOG achievement list, sparking speculation about its meaning. Concerned about their completion status, they shared a screenshot on social media.
Baldur’s Gate 3 offers three difficulty modes catering to different player preferences, ranging from casual storytelling to a hardcore experience where every decision carries weight. Alongside these modes, there are also achievements that can be unlocked by completing specific tasks.
To earn the Foehammer achievement, players must conquer Baldur’s Gate 3 in honor mode. However, the game currently does not have an official honor mode, leaving players curious about how to obtain this achievement.
Larian Studios, the developer behind Baldur’s Gate 3, previously implemented an honor mode in their game Divinity: Original Sin 2. This mode restricted players to a single save file and enforced permadeath, making it a daunting challenge for those who rely on save scumming.
Save scumming refers to the practice of creating multiple save files to revert back to previous points in the game, allowing players to redo actions or dialogue choices if they are dissatisfied with the outcome.
While the Foehammer achievement is currently only visible on GOG, it remains unclear if it is exclusive to that platform or hidden on others as well. Fans eagerly await an official announcement from Larian Studios to shed light on whether honor mode will be introduced as a fourth difficulty option or if the achievement requires manual save file management.
For players who enjoy creating multiple save files, pursuing the honor mode and Foehammer achievement may not be appealing. However, for completionists and those seeking a challenge, it presents an exciting opportunity to test their skills in Baldur’s Gate 3.
