Baldur's Gate 3 is a messy business. You're constantly wading through filth and getting into drawn-out fights that leave you bruised and bloody. Typically, you just sleep it off, but before you know it, you're back to looking like Absolute shit.

Players have long sought workarounds, like flinging water bottles at their party members to wash away the muck, but this means A) throwing hard objects at your allies and B) hoarding water bottles. I don't know about you, but I don't fancy pissing off Astarion just to give him a bath. Which I realise now makes him sound like a cat.

If you’re refusing to engage with the game’s story, can you even say you’ve really played the game?

It turns out that there's a much simpler solution, as shared by Inactivism on the Baldur's Gate 3 subreddit; "Stand under a waterfall and shower and you look clean! I discovered that yesterday and don't know if everyone already knew that but I want EVERYONE to know! This is so neat."

We've all been on the internet, let's not sugarcoat it. People are horny for Baldur's Gate 3's characters. Everyone wants Astarion to rip their throats out, Shadowheart to step all over them, and Halsin to literally become the bear they've always dreamed of.

So, enjoy this new cleaning method. You can get your party of faves, strip 'em down, and go for an all-natural shower. Live out your thirsty fantasy and wash the blood away, unless, of course, you're into the splash of gore and ripe purple bruises.

"They're all so hot when they're covered in blood though," sznuw said.

"Splattered on their face: sexy, dangerous," NAINOA- said. "Drenching their outfits I meticulously designed: anathema."

Of course, there aren't always waterfalls just lying around. What if you're in the Lower City? Luckily, players have found portable solutions, too. "I always keep Create Water on at least one member," Fluffy-Tanuki said. "Shower on demand."

Alternatively, "There are also water pumps that you can use to achieve the same effect," as noted by Wigu90. "There's one in Last Light Inn, in a passageway that runs along Dammon's workshop and towards the mined bridge. But there's a severe lack of them in the city proper".

In Act 1, there's even a river at camp by Withers, so you don't have to stray off the beaten path to clean up. The problem is that your party won't follow you at camp, so you'll have to do it one by one, which is hardly in keeping with the thirsty spirit.
