[@Tentacl]

Power word kill is ridiculous. At lv 12 most of my party can do more than 100 HP in a turn anyway. It should have a MUCH higher HP limit to be actually epic.

[@amishtechwizard5540]

Use it on Withers, it's funni

[@ultimatequestions._]

Exactly

[@themonolougist]

it's the same in 5e too, it's definitely designed as an enemy boss's spell. its use is more narrative than mechanic in my opinion

[@keepitfuknmetal]

It’s more meant to be a spell for boss NPCs to use against players in D&D. It’s far less fun using it as a PC. Because by the level you get it, most of the NPCs (even minions) have far more than 100 HP and as you said, you can do that much damage in a round without using a 9th level spell.

[@sylph4252]

It's true strength is in bypassing things that trigger at 0 hp, since it doesn't affect health, just causes death. At least in the table top, not sure how it was coded in BG3

[@QuiteDisquietly]

I use Boots of Speed on anything that I don't dip into Rogue for the entirety of the game for solo Honour Mode. It doesn't even matter if they are broken, their value is irreplaceable.

[@MorganaEvelyn]

Getting Minthara to act 1 is really cool. She joins at level 6 so I can pull some awesome shenanigans with her 😊

[@sunbleachedangel]

Oh hi there

[@Unherist]

But I'm wondering, since she isn't suppose to join you before Moonrise, she doesn't have any specific dialogue in the Underdark right?

[@sunbleachedangel]

@@Unherist Sadly no. She does have very few random lines but that's it

[@socialjihad5724]

​@@Unherist No, as I found out on my first run. Thought it was bugged. Before one of the earlier patches you could just take her without having to trick the game. It's a real shame for the obvious reason that one would think Minthara would have a lot of interesting things to say about the under dark.

[@Unherist]

@@socialjihad5724 It is a shame. But it would've been crazy from Larian to record specific dialogues for something you aren't suppose to get.

[@Aci_yt]

13:30 I could've sworn I got her to join me even after breaking his pact. She definitely claims she'll help you even if you do break his pact.

[@TheSolidSnakeOil]

My preferred way of getting the necromancy of thay is grab the book, jump over the table and run out while in turn based mode. Just like looting the coffin in act 1. There are a number of traps you can just ignore in turn based mode.

[@xSetkux]

you could just pick it up and walk out

[@TheSolidSnakeOil]

@@xSetkux I like to at least pretend I can't tank the damage.

[@QuiteDisquietly]

Easiest way is to just drag it off the table and put it in front of you and pick it up....

[@ethanpeeples6187]

Or just use a mage hand to throw it.

[@trevorsreya8277]

Idk if you've done this, idk if there's a special interaction, but I wanted to bring this up. This involves the drow that were petrified by the spectator in the underdark. If the leader survives the fight and you talk to him, part of his dialog will bring up the guy who summoned the spectator and mention him by name. He'll also ask you if you know what happened to him. The drow he's referring to is in the myconid colony. You loot his body after wiping out the enemies on the beach. Use speak to dead to get his name, then do the spectator fight and keep the lead drow alive and tell him about the dead drow. I only found out about this in my most recent playthrough, but I don't know what the dialog is because I did this in the reverse order. Thought you might like that.

[@michaelcreech8957]

Does he still attack you afterwards?

[@trevorsreya8277]

@@michaelcreech8957 As far as I know, you have to initiate dialog with him as a female drow to avoid combat with him. But Idk how it'll affect the dialog with him when it comes to bringing up the other drow's name.

[@MandalorianRevan]

You also have a special interaction with Dhourne if you've already been to the Adamantine Forge before he gets unpetrified. He is absolutely furious if you've found the Adamantine Forge first.

[@sarrach94]

Finding the stillmaker is part of a quest, and while that quest is open ended enough that you don't need to find it to complete the quest, saying that an item hidden by a nearly impossible to fail perception check in a location you're guided to as part of a quest is very hidden is a bit of a misnomer.

[@ThalesWell]

They just call everything “hidden” to get the clicks. Ipso facto

[@amishtechwizard5540]

5:12 Derryth sells a pair of gloves that remove poison on anyone you heal

[@PedroViniciusRC]

You can free Wyll from the pact, and Mizora will help you in the same way.

[@joshuaadams6208]

The tarnished charm bit makes me wonder if some corpses will be affected by it while most wont.

[@NuggieNugs555]

I’ve gotten the Stillmaker in every playthrough…the dagger is required to continue a side quest

[@sunbleachedangel]

It's impossible to miss. I'm pretty sure I haven't missed it once in my 7 playthroughs

[@Cyb3rM1nd]

It's not required - just useful and most common way.

[@michadybczak4862]

I always wondered what is the deal with the cauldron, so strongly presented, but doing nothing.

[@spctvl03]

LOVED the vent trick!

[@Lilmanbigload]

For the necromancy of thay, just grab and walk out. The game automatically puts you in turn based and you walk away before the fire shoots out

[@ryudragon7]

I use the boots of speed because when my Duergar is not sneaking up on targets while invisible, he is slow in battle. I don't care that the boots are broken. I am not running away, I am running to beat the targets down.

[@exantiuse497]

Before this video I had no idea the boots were supposed to have the opportunity attack disadvantage effect, nor that it didn't work properly, and i've been using them for a long time

[@lordpoundcake2317]

17:30 I used a skull i found, I thought it may work since the skull weight was greater than the book, and it worked.

[@spacesamples]

Love your videos! I’m 300+ hours in and still finding new items and hidden interactions

[@quasarsword7479]

500 hrs and restarting act 1. Never seen act 3 What a great game

[@juanmohedano2216]

I allways use mage hand to throw the book out of the cell. You can summon the hand directly inside the cell and its just that easy

[@Tyrfx6]

The power word kill interaction is cool but I feel like it’s a bug and not feature.

[@ДмитрийИванников-ж6о]

Can you make a video about every end game ally? Would be helpful

[@cloudy978]

You can also give Thulla the elixir of Silvanus from nettie btw.

[@souliris]

And ironically(or not) you can use the boots of speed to solo sprint into the arcane tower,

[@keepitfuknmetal]

I never even realized Boots of Speed did that to attack rolls because I always throw it on my Clerics with Spirit Guardians up.

[@ROLTPRO]

just like if you use divine intervention nuke in raphael fight and any other holy dmg reflect type setting, you keep it

[@agidyne9676]

Damn, the more I find out, the more I realize I’ve missed things.

[@robmac2617]

I keep having this weird problem similar to the boots of speed, as a battle master fighter you can get a passive skill called evasive footwork. For a point you activate it and for a turn enemies have disadvantage when attacking you, but for some reason while i have it active i only get hit. I think it's a bug and i hope they fix it

[@sunbleachedangel]

And of course you didn't check the combat log.

[@robmac2617]

@@sunbleachedangel ?

[@Arshveerk]

I think it’s supposed to work like that. You use it on your turn to dodge either opportunity attacks or enemies who attack back (mainly HM but some enemies have riposte) monk also has this it’s called patient defence and is usually useless (imo) if your talking abt using it like how I said just ignore my comment cuz it is def bugged then lol.

[@robmac2617]

@@Arshveerk I do use it like that but it often sticks for the whole round, at that point it might be a visual bug so.. not sure if I should just respec at this point or not

[@Arshveerk]

@@robmac2617 maybe they changed it since I did use it during an older patch (don’t really remember) I feel like it’s just a visual bug but it is supposed to work like that. Try using it and check the combat log (on pc it’s bottom rightish, not really sure where on console) and see if you have the attacker disadvantage on attacks on you. Honestly think the other BM options are just better than evasive footwork

[@horizonblack8351]

Florrick time limited in act 3 only started when you found any piece of info related to her being executed. You can sneak her out fairly easy by opening up a hidden path on the side of the jail, invisibility on her, then sneaking her out in turn mode

[@Ibecrimedog3]

Yeah I killed Gortash as my first order of business in Act 3 (I don't recommend this). And I came back way later to rescue florrick. Definitely after 5 long rests.

[@gaiusjuliuspleaser]

So basically the Power Word: Kill trick turns you into Hidan from Naruto Shippuuden

[@ДмитрийИванников-ж6о]

16:34 I don't know why, but he just says: it's private conversation. And I don't get to say anything

[@ravenstales6457]

I made the acolyte jump into the river this playthrough lol my 5th run I found this one

[@felleg4737]

“Hidden”? Most of these are part of quests or right in front of your eyes. For example, your task at the Open Hand Temple is literally to find the murder weapon. or stealing the necromancy of thay is hidden? Come on…

[@Siracusano]

Right. I’m on playthrough 2 soon. Need to save videos like this to watch before my Wyll Origin character endeavour 😅

[@roboticgentlemen1970]

13:37 is a quest item

[@timothyjohnston4426]

If your a drow you can just take the boots

[@SlyFox5679]

I saved and used power word kill the final boss

[@Meph55_CriticalGamer]

You forgot one of the ways to heal Thulla ! Derryth Boneclock, the merchant present with the myconids, sells a pair of boots that read: "When you heal a character, also removes poison". A classic heal on Thulla with those boots equipped will work. It's handy when you have none of the other things with you

[@LuisReyes-wf1zf]

Your voice sounds like Xletalis

[@Erinlikeshiking]

Does anyone know if patch 7 fixed click heels?

[@dinospfc]

Can you be in a Globe of Invulnerability then cast Power Word Kill?

[@sunbleachedangel]

Since it's not damaged I assume you would die regardless. And if you don't die then you wasted your Power Word Kill

[@Cyb3rM1nd]

Power Word Kill isn't damage and GoI only negates damage. So, while yes you can cast while inside it, you'd still die.

[@bryanmayugba9960]

Hmm curiously since you mentioned the eldritch blast sorlock (build i'm using currently for my honor run) would the craterflesh gloves be better over the spellmight gloves? I'm unsure but I believe the craterflesh gloves' tool tip is incorrect and does 2d6 force on critical vs the 1d6 and I don't believe the spellmight gloves tool tip is incorrect so that's a flat 1d8, crit or not.

[@Toyhouze]

Yeah craterflesh is best in slot. No downside like spellmight and craterflesh are bugged and deal the same as an extra eldritch blast on crit.

[@CyberGhostArt]

to get the necromancy of thay i just used magehand inside the bars to throw it outside, lol

[@fredy2041]

Why you wasted this video's time with the fey charm? Just say no dude. Also dude, why you also wasted time on the infinite exp? Thanks, you wasted our time.

[@Tiaslin]

I’m always baffled how bugs and glitches are actually being celebrated as long as they are to one’s own advantage/makes the game easier

[@brechtstroobant9879]

Talks about 'hidden interactions', is mainly showing bugs and broken items. Creatively going bankrupt, I see?

[@DarthDraconious]

Sure, because using the spell on yourself is a great tactical move....all those special buffs that people have are lost on death. Worst advice ever, even if it works... it's still stupid.

[@imhigh0013]

Just so you know.... everytime you post nifty cheats; Larian then fixes in patches. Maybe shut up until Larian finishes updates. But no, you bloggers have to keep pumping them out. So they become useless.

[@ryudragon7]

If nobody shares these exploits, then few will be able to enjoy them. And most, but not all of these exploits will get patched anyway. May as well let as many people enjoy them as possible before they are removed.

[@KaneA87]

Exploits and glitches should be removed

[@sunbleachedangel]

As id that matters lmao

[@Cyb3rM1nd]

@@KaneA87 Why? It's a solo game. It doesn't affect you at all. It's not a competition, there's no leaderboard.

[@khorneflakes2175]

You'd think wizards would be the ones most willing to read the Necromancy of Thay.

[@sunbleachedangel]

The fucking necromancer doesn't get an easy pass but a bard does

[@khorneflakes2175]

@@sunbleachedangel Yeah a necromancy wizard would fight his party to open that book.
