- 0:16The rules require instant boss kills with no repeated strategies.

- 4:29Gale's Wild Magic swap brings the Phase Spider Matriarch to the Grymforge hammer.

Explosives would be too easy. Proxy Gate Tactician's pink dragonborn bard, Barney, has a stricter assignment: dispatch every Honour Mode boss instantly, without using the same strategy twice. The preparation, on the other hand, can take hours.
That distinction produces some wonderfully excessive engineering in "Can You Slay Every Baldur's Gate 3 Boss Instantly Using Different Methods?" A tower of crates becomes a launch platform for a dropped shoe. A Wild Magic swap transports the Phase Spider Matriarch to the Grymforge hammer. And a gigantic falling boulder prompts the host to question why the game treats it as slashing damage. Knowing the rules is useful; knowing where they get strange is the real specialty here.
There were no new uploads this week, but that September challenge remains the channel's busiest video, approaching two and a half million views. It is drawing substantially more daily viewing than the other active challenge runs, including playing as a Slayer and using only poison damage. Those restrictions have their own awkward appeal: the Slayer run contends with bugs and equipment limitations, while poison means working around enemies that cannot be poisoned.
The channel added subscribers over the week and now stands at 200,000. Among nearby strategy and role-playing channels, EVScape and Jackie Fish drew larger weekly audiences, while milkandcookiesTW had a quieter week. For Proxy Gate Tactician, the empty upload schedule left plenty of room for Barney's elaborate preparations and very brief boss encounters.
