One lever, every Act 1 boss: Proxy's BG3 contraption
Proxy Gate Tactician says the setup uses no mods, though plenty of reloading and glitches went into making it work.

I made this Lever Kill Every Act 1 Boss
A Rube Goldberg machine is an elaborate way to do something simple. On Proxy Gate Tactician's channel, the supposedly simple task is wiping out Baldur's Gate 3's Act 1 bosses with a lever.
"I made this Lever Kill Every Act 1 Boss" was the week's only new upload, reaching about 318,000 views. Proxy's description makes an important distinction: this is mod-free engineering, not glitch-free engineering. Reloading was part of the process, too.
The comments supply some fitting comparisons. Viewers invoke Kevin McAllister's elaborate traps in Home Alone, imagine a tabletop dungeon master reluctantly allowing the encounter, and call the setup a Rube Goldberg machine. Others focus on the sheer amount of preparation suggested by the placed items and relocated characters. The lever may get the title, but the arrangement behind it is the fascination.
The channel's strongest momentum belongs to "Can You Slay Every Baldur's Gate 3 Boss Instantly Using Different Methods?" That earlier challenge attempts instant kills across the game's Honour Mode bosses, turning their own capacity for sudden destruction back on them. The much older "Can You Beat Baldur's Gate 3 as a Slayer?" also remains among the channel's busiest videos.
Across the library, Proxy added roughly a million views over the week, the largest weekly gain among the nearby strategy and role-playing channels here. Subscribers edged upward, although today's viewing pace is below its usual level. All three of Proxy's strongest daily draws share the same creative question: how strangely can you play BG3 and make it work?

Was not expecting a BG3 Rube Goldberg Machine deleting the majority of Act 1, but it certainly was glorious. Thanks for the content as always, Proxy.
