Mae now holds the world record for their speedrun, though we suspect that many challengers will now try to outdo them in a bid to claim that crown. Which poses the question of whether that time can be beaten?
That 10 minute window included loading times, as well as a strategic choice in starting character. To give you an idea of just how meticulous Mae was, here’s a breakdown of how they did it.
Be warned, I’m about to mention some seriousBaldur’s Gate 3spoilers – if you don’t want to know, run, leave now. Fly like the wind and never look back. Okay, now those warnings are out of the way, let’s continue.

Such a bold move takes some planning. We’re going to lay out the basics, but, once again, spoilers are inbound.
Ingenious. Simply sublime. All of us could stand to learn a thing or two from Mae’s efforts.Accordingto How Long To Beat, the game can be rushed through in an average of 31 hours.
As a result, it seems unlikely someone will be able to out-master Mae and break the 10 minute milestone. But that doesn’t mean we won’t wait with bated breath to see if anyone is brave enough to attempt it; godspeed to all who try!
