[@Zaxares]

Stuff like the Absolute spear really makes me wish that BG3 had some kind of enchantment system/service so you can enchant your favourite weapons and armor to keep them competitive as you progress through the game and find more powerful gear. Some items like the Phalar Aluve sword are just SO thematically perfect for certain characters, but they are outclassed by better weapons you find later on.

[@manic_driver8751]

Sing: Shriek makes Phalar the most overpowered weapon in the whole game!

my very first playthrough took about 120+ hrs because I tried to make sure I didn't miss a single thing. turns out, I still missed some things. time to dive back in I guess.

[@happy_gnom]

Same here. I am on the final bossfight rn at a stunning 170 hours mark, done all the quests I could find and climbed into every corner. And yet, after watching these videos, I feel like there is still so much to be found! Absolutely marvellous! One beast of a game that is!

That hammer on the ship in the underdark comes at the cost of what the guy you pushed into the water can give you if you let them live.

[@starwarslover015]

Yeah doesn’t he give you the banshee bow which can frighten enemies? I used that the whole rest of the game my first playthrough and had it on Astarian my second

[@DarkParagon]

The entire Hammerhraft building becomes easier to navigate in Turn-Based mode, as the fire only spreads on Environments turn. Split up the party, get 2 helping to save the council lady, 1 helping the dude trapped under logs (Break the door down by going in the left-side building, up the stairs and across the balcony to the aforementioned door) and last person gets the hammer. Also Create Water spell helps make this section easier also.

[@waterierStone]

You can get a ring of protection (+1 to ac and saving throws) if you steal the idol for mol. to talk to mol you need to save the kid from the harpies first. The idol is pretty hard to steal, you need to use a darkness spell and then move the idol onto the ground (otherwise you'll walk into view and be spotted) then quickly grab it and teleport away. I never got a chance to talk to mol since the kid died to the harpies.

[@V1rtualFlod]

I'll also throw in this quick tip. If you don't have darkness/don't want to use a spell slot, check the vendor (think his name is Aron or something) for an arrow of darkness. Works for any class so long as you have a bow laying around. Just make sure to save beforehand cuz clicking on the idol can make your character walk around to the sides and get spotted.

[@Daggoth65]

It is much easier to steal if you do it Post Revealing Khaga

[@CameronsVideo]

You can talk to Mol if you get pickpocketed but catch the kid doing it with a perception check. Warning her off of the dangers of pickpocketing makes her quit and Mol will thank you for getting her to give it up since she didn't have the heart.

[@tonkk]

If you're having trouble with the Harpies, you can cast Silence on the beach path to the kid (10 minute duration and no spell slot cost if cast out of combat) and put the rest of the party inside the bubble, then only the character talking to the kid has to make a Harpy song resistance check. The rest of the party can step outside the bubble to cast spells and end turn inside the bubble, the check is made at the start of your turn only if you're exposed. Save attacking the singing Harpy for last, only one Harpy sings at a time and it takes the kid about 3 turns to reach the initially singing Harpy. Also, the Grove has a cheap Hunting Short Bow that gives advantage when attacking monstrosities, and Harpies count for that bonus.

[@whataghost1524]

Bad news. Larien’s latest patch made stealing the idol EVEN harder. Honestly, the easiest way to steal the idol is to save the grove, buy a greater invisibility scroll from Volo, and then keep one of your party members close to the door. Halsin doesn’t find out and you can give it to Mol or steal it back to sell it.

[@xSolidBluex]

I discovered the Hamarhraft just recently and it's PERFECT for an eagle-heart Barbarian.

It's definitely there, but as stated in the video, you can't have Shadowheart in the party and you need to pass the persuasion check on Ferg Drogher. If you already had Shadowheart with you when you walked by, then the vendor is gone and so is your chance.

The hamarhraft will not be effected by the fire so you can ignore it when youre saving Benryn & Florrick, long rest and come back once the flames have died down and get all the same loot.

[@billsoo306]

One thing I never see listed in these kinds of videos is Terazul. It's a drug that acts like a Potion of Speed but a bit worse since it only lasts for 2 turns instead of 3. The big deal with it is that it STACKS with potion of speed so you can use both at once.

you don't actually need to save the grove to keep Wyll, you just need to not raid it if you just progress to act 2 without resolving the grove subplot and abandon those tieflings to the goblins, Wyll will still stick around

Yes, but you lose exp and quite a lot of story this way

[@Eckister]

you, my fine Sir, are a treasure! 👏👏👏👏

[@DemonSlash300]

to save alfiraa as dark urge you need to knock her down (non lethal passive) then another bard will die to your urge, you can't save her by simply refusing to let her sleep at your camp

[@FurryCruz]

It doesn't get destroyed if you detonate the stalks, it does however destroy if you light them on fire.

[@PanEtRosa]

yeh, you just have to get the torch out of that cave, really.

[@anska7475]

If you include special durge items, then maybe a special Gale item also makes the list - which is maybe not too hard to miss, but hard to keep: The Ring of Evasion, which allows you to use a reaction to succeed after you failed a Dex saving throw. Tara will grant it to you during your first night as Origin Gale and the next morning, his condition triggers. As you probably don't have many other magical items so early in the game, not consuming it instantly becomes a bit of a trouble.

[@SalemValorKnight]

What armor was the PC wearing while talking to Lann Tarv?

[@OmkaraHellcore]

Would you recommend smashing Elfira's lute as the Dark Urge? This under the assumption that she'd be so incredibly pissed, she won't join your camp where you kill her and this miss out on that warlock robe. Would this work?

[@Nallez3]

You can just knock-out Alfira before long-rest. Then a random Dragonborn Bard will join the camp instead of her.

[@OmkaraHellcore]

@@Nallez3 But doesn't the game count knocking somebody out the same as death? Also have you tried just smashing her lute? It does seem reasonable that she wouldn't want to come to camp after that.

[@a_Lemming]

Alfira still shows up if you smash the lute. The dialogue is a bit different, but she’s still desperate enough to ask for help. Knocking her out in the Druid grove will cause the Dragonborn bard to appear instead, and Alfira will wake up in her normal spot after a long rest.

[@alexw4482]

If you want to keep Alfira alive as durge, just knock her out every day. She’ll wake up after long resting so you need to come back each long rest and knock her out again until the event triggers and her stand in dies.

[@starrychan33]

Don't have to save the Grove or remember to bring Wyll if you're playing Wyll origin like I am right now 😌 Doing a rare Evyl Wyll run right now. Just got the infernal robes if you know what I mean ; )

Well since you've talked about the staff of the absolute that you have to make, there's an other staff you can gather the pieces of in the underdark it's a staff of frost. Grant the ability to cast ray of frost.

Eh, excluding the locked ones (Dark Urge cloak, Echo of Abazigal), I missed Hellfire Greataxe (also missed the Summon Deva scroll that isn't mentioned here), Vision of the Absolute (didn't learn you could combine things until Act 2) and Staff of the Emperor (this and the Everburn Blade, never considered disarming pple for weapons). Got 12 of them, good enough for me.

​@@LeFrancoiseThat is big brain

[@kirstenwyatt9675]

The Alfira scene triggers after a long rest, after nearing the bridge by the owlbear cave and the dying Dwarf Truesoul. So once I did the scene with the Dwarf, and explored the owlbear cave, I went back to the Grove, saved and would use non-leathal melee sneak attack to one-hit knock out Alfira, then long rest. Repeat until you get the cutscene with Quill

[@strangestecho5088]

It's such a dick move from Larian to intentionally lock away the best clothing for a dark urge warlock/sorcerer. The work-around is an exploit and not intended by the devs. It's especially annoying because the canonical dark urge character has no armor or shield proficiency. It's just a weak character build unless you multiclass into tempest cleric.

[@SouPNaZi316]

the necro staff plus circle of death = ggs

[@dontwannabeahero1570]

you dont have to worry about the burning building when getter the hammerhraft just rescue the council lady and the guy under the rubble then wait the fire will burn and destroy the chest but then you can just pick the loot up off the ground

[@crisholder3390]

I just gave my monk the jump boots, dropped water at the door and jumped all the way to the chest. grabbed the loot and jumped out. I think I took a little fire damage. You can probably just walk in with a fire tiefling, fire dragon sorcerer.

[@murphyc15]

How can you get that robe from Alfira in a Durge playthrough when you kill her before the end of Act 1? Like i know of no way for her to survive to Act 2 in a Durge playthrough

[@common_undead]

You can do it if you metagame the system. But essentially you gotta quick save before every long rest. Once Alfira shows up to your camp at night, reload to the last save, then go to Alfira and toggle non-lethal damage. Knock her out and then go for your long rest immediately. A different NPC would show up and be killed by Durge. Alfira won't even be mad at you for knocking her out if you do it in turn based mode and quickly enough.

Potent Robe's Gregarious Caster is useful only if you want to *not* pick Agonizing Blast. I can see it being good for multiclassing tho. Also, you don't have to hurry with Hamarhraft. Nothing happens to the chest even if you wait for the fire to die down.

Nope about the robes. Can confirm the potent robes stack with agonizing blast, so your CHAR modifier gets added twice.

[@tommieveazey7224]

Yeah with the 22 max hat I do +12 per ray

No, the damage boost from Potent Robes stacks with Agonizing Blast. With 20 Charisma, that’s a flat 5-point boost to every Eldritch Blast beam, on top of the 5-point boost from Agonizing Blast. It’s a ridiculous amount of damage.
