Some Baldur's Gate 3 players believe they've found an Avatar: The Last Airbender Easter egg in the game, and the evidence is pretty convincing. Larian Studios' new RPG just left early access, and it's already a hit with fans and critics. The story and gameplay are receiving lots of praise and keeping players busy. On top of this, Baldur's Gate 3 has an incredible amount of content to explore and secrets to uncover.
It could take as many as 18 playthroughs to see everything in Baldur's Gate 3 with just one character, and it's unlikely many fans will see even a fraction of what's in the game, with a single playthrough taking up to 100 hours. With so much to see and experience, players will surely be finding secrets and Easter eggs for years to come. Some fans, however, think they've uncovered one hidden reference fairly quickly.
On Reddit, user Persies has shared photos of their encounter with a cabbage salesman and the consensus is that this is a reference to Avatar: The Last Airbender. Fans of the series will remember the long-running joke of a man selling cabbages who constantly has his cart destroyed by the antics of Aang and his friends. It seems that Baldur's Gate 3 has its own cabbage merchant who is very protective of his stock and even has a prejudice against monks.
In the photos shared on Reddit, the merchant, known as Geezer Loryss, is standing near an overturned cart with cabbages strewn across the ground. The subtitles reveal him to be complaining about thieves destroying his business. Even better, he also appears to have special dialogue for Monk characters, saying that they only cause him trouble. This might add to the reasons for fans to play a Monk in Baldur's Gate 3.
Loryss' response to monks makes sense as, in Avatar, Aang is a monk, himself. For many Reddit users, the cabbages and the Monk dialogue prove that this must be an Easter egg inserted by Avatar fans. The reference is all the more fitting as a warrior with power over the elements is among the subclasses for Monks in Baldur's Gate 3.
Few gamers will ever see everything that Baldur's Gate 3 has to offer. One of the exciting things about the title is just how much stuff there is to find. Still, fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender may want to make it a point to seek out and interact with Geezer Loryss. They may even want to look into the best builds for Baldur's Gate 3 Monks so they can get the most out of the encounter.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available now on PC and will release for PS5 on September 6. An Xbox Series X/S version is also in development.
