Baldur’s Gate 3 player passes on warning after hilarious Scratch incident

One Baldur’s Gate 3 player is warning others after accidentally triggering a fight while trying to play with the game’s best boy, Scratch.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has a lot of great characters, from companions with deep storylines to villains with fascinatingly sinister motivations. However, a clear fan favorite is the adorably loyal dog, Scratch.

Players can meet Scratch early in Act 1 and convince him to join their Camp. Once he arrives, players can give him all the pets and playtime he deserves, which ultimately unlocks the option to summon Scratch as a familiar. There’s even an achievement for playing fetch with him.

However, while trying to unlock that achievement, one player learned the hard way that a simple game of fetch can go horribly wrong.

While Scratch is a very good boy, even he has his limits.

When trying to throw a ball and play fetch, Reddit user Refuse_And_Regret reports accidentally hitting Scratch with the ball. This caused the dog to become temporarily hostile and attack the player.
