what is the piece of parchment in his mouth please? or do you find that parchment elsewhere if you rescue Zevlor?

[@happyatoms6535]

Screw you and Hello Fresh, with this 2 minutes out of a 16 minute video bullcrap. At this point, every one of you so-called Influencers are just sellouts.

[@thefrank2364]

Damn I'm part of the 99% that actually missed the HelloFresh content in Act 1

[@clous081]

I would pay a good 40 gold per rest for someone to take care of our camp supplies for us

[@VenomGamingCenter]

You never actually tell us how to get Yurgir to join you. You just explain his abilities.

[@Graydondamm]

Came here to say the same thing!

[@jonathanhibberd9983]

If I remember correctly, the way I got him was convincing him to off himself in the Shar temple, and then in the House of Hope, convince him to join you against Raphael.

[@arnulfotunon-ortiz5023]

It’s a high persuasion roll if you convinced him to off himself in Act 2, but he’ll join you freely if you solve the riddle by killing the last Dark Justiciar in Shar’s temple and free him from the contract

[@Twotone-ld1fb]

You can fight and kill him without convincing him of anything and still convince him in the house of hope but its a very high roll. One thing that always pissed me off about the freeing him from his contract is Raph shows up and makes some claim that the contract never said he could outsource help. I wanted to scream back at Raph and say, yeah and it never said he COULDN'T either. Since devils are sticklers for details it bugged me I couldn't point out that detail.

[@celestebigaignon6054]

It’s a 30 on persuasion roll along the lines of ‘come on dude, join the winning side for once’. It helps that I was a sorcerer/bard when I did this, and had a couple of ‘friends’ and ‘charm’ scrolls. It’s really difficult, but hilarious all the same. He just goes around invisible and smacks people with his poison blade 😂

[@joerundell8197]

It is truly amazing, I have over 1300 hours in the game and still haven’t seen it all. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

[@mediumvillain]

[@MayHugger]

This channel consistently has content that either no one could possibly miss even if they were blindfolded, or extremely obscure elaborate stuff that most players genuinely have never even heard of.

The book written by Volo can also be obtained by dialog with the gobbo. Persuasion check and he gives it to you.

[@6la6ni6]

"children can't die in Bladur's Gate 3" you say as you control Arabella's re-animated corpse on screen lol. I get what you meant, I just thought it was funny watching this zombie child whack mushrooms while you said it :P

[@gearholder8882]

Dufay actually did drink the feign dead potion, you can check his condition by hovering his body His "dear Lurianna" is a werewolf whose corpse you can find in a room hidden by an illusory wall right next to the room where you find him, along with a note where she says she found the second acid potion and proclaims she'll follow after him, and you actually see her corpse dripping with acid

[@cthulhu888]

When every character you can make in the character creator comes out looking like a model you know you did good 😊👌✨

[@a.r.5100]

Your 1st one is partly incorrect. All you have to do is have zevlor alive when you leave act 2. No desicions need to be made and you don't even need to interact with the pods. I know this because I missed zevlor in act 2 completely , but still got the scene and portrait from orin

[@PedroViniciusRC]

If you pass an Insight or History check while reading the 4 murals in Emerald Grove, you will unlock a new dialogue where you can read them to Kagha in the Shadow Druid confrontation. This dialogue changes slightly if you are a bard.

[@exosproudmamabear558]

I switched to sh to have it.

[@BORNTOSIEGE]

9:10 you can find a illusionary wall in that same room, that leads you to the person who drink the acid, it has a note too that explain what happened!

[@Vecna]

Yeah I think the extra elixir may have been an oversight, Duffay drank it but his lover drank the other bottle and the state of the corpse confirms that whatever she drank, it burned her from the inside

[@BORNTOSIEGE]

@@Vecna yea, pretty nasty

[@ProxyGateTactician]

I love that the mouseover preview that KZbin picks is the cooking section of the video haha I was so confused why that was showing up on this

[@Harl3inger]

I knew everything here except for spore servant Arabella, and The Grand Infernal Painting. Truly insane that they added something for if you interact with the illithid prisoner device, AND DON'T DO ANYTHING

[@stuffandthings617]

With Arabella in my first Playthrough. I saved her and found her parents AND I did tell her about it, in a calming good way. After that she always told me to go away even after multiple long rests. In Act3 she was gone and left a letter and Withers told me HE had told her about her parents because I DID NOT. So the quest can bug out and I had her not in the final fight.

[@Blakobness]

Gerson is probably a clever NPC add-in for when you're playing a multiplayer session. It's not outside the realm of possibility that a player might not be in the Goblin camp when things get wrapped up, so if they have to move a bunch of NPCs, then it seems like a good solution. But this scene only triggers if you're at the front of the Grove, what if you're inside? All the NPCs just disappear? I guess it's not a perfect solution, it should probably activate anywhere in the Grove. Regarding the Secrets of the High Chieftain, you can also convince the Goblin to give you the book if you don't go into the Goblin camp hostile.

[@warchiefballer8809]

Fun story in connection with the praying for the fist soldier: With Shadowheart, I casted Animate dead on teh corpse she was praying above, then the fist started a fight, used non-lethal attack to knock her down, then (SOMEHOW) I was able to target the corpse (which was a ghoul now next to us) and PICK UP the corpse. Then I put it into the camp chest, and after a long rest, the first soldier apperared at my chest, on her knees, praying to the chest. This only however work for the first - outside campsite. Since then every time I open the camp chest, I must say the same prayer: "Great god Helm, allow us peace in this plane and beyond; teach us care when we would be reckless, teach us certainty when we would have doubt! So it is spoken, and so is it done."

[@Aci_yt]

How is there still stuff I haven't seen 😂

[@project_swift]

Larian have said there are endings that still haven't been triggered by a single player yet 😅

[@Mega_Mikey]

I actually got the Zevlor death painting from the very start of the video. No idea how I got it but now I have an idea at least. Orin had been disguising herself and harassing me and making threats all over the city, then one day I wake up and Zevlor's corpse is in the camp with a nice painting.

[@luxiyobang6085]

I got the grand infernal painting even when I completely ignored the room with Zevlor cause I didn't wanna fight the mind flayers and what the eyes don't see the heart doesn't feel 😂 But yeah, then this appeared in my camp and it really gave me a scare oof

[@LeoTheDarkAngel]

Out of all the things you listed, only 2 were new to me. I'm not sure if this makes the title clickbaity or if I'm just too obsessed with this game...

[@okokokok1457]

1:19 I got this in my game !!!

[@mayawitters]

The video seems to be missing the explanation of how to get Yurgir to join you?

[@Refi_studio]

First, help him in Act 2 so he can be freed from the contract with Raphael (talk him into suicide basically). Then in the fight against Raphael talk to him and there will be an option which will make him side with you against Raphael. If he survive the fight, then you can talk to him and convince him to be your ally. Your journal will mention him as an ally who will aid you in the final battle.

[@Toyhouze]

Sorry! Yurgir will join you whether or not you helped him break his contract or defeated him in the Guantlet of Shar - you just need to pass a Persuasion check as you're leaving the House of Hope in Act 3!

[@Kenaz]

@@Toyhouze This sections footage suggests he can be a controllable ally outside of the House of Hope once defeating Raf?

[@stuffandthings617]

@@Refi_studio you don't need to help him in act 2. I killed him in Act 2 in my first playthrough and still could convince him to join me against Raphael and he was available in the final fight.

[@ryudragon7]

Pretty sure children can die in BG3. Arabella to Kaghas snake Teela and Mirkon to the Harpies. I have yet to reach Act 3, so these tips are super helpful. I wonder how many allies I can get in the final fight, like all at once.

[@stidles5461]

i'm pretty sure they can die in scripted ways, but most can't be straight up killed by the player, the exception being goblin children

[@spookymage3842]

I got the Grand Infernal Painting on my very first play through since I didn’t know that the captives were there.

[@amaterasu3099]

Also I'm pretty sure that if you bring Arabella's/Mirkon's dead body to act 2, and let them become shadow cursed undead, you can then control them with the oathbreaker paladin's ability

[@joshualee3059]

New mention: This a basic game mechanic but a powerful one to understand and nobody has mentioned it for tactial info on BG3. During combat you can see the 'order of initiative' broken into several groups because initiave itself iike a D4 or something like that. Within each group you can select who takes a turn, if its your turn, This can alleviate frustrations like party members blocking other party members at doorways or simply wanting a certain spell cast before anything else. Ive also done things like "movement first, actions later before ending turns" It was a game changer for me to discover, that and the "highlight all actors during combat" hotkey. cheers man love your vids!

[@0-kingsloth-020]

I dont get it can you elaborate?

[@red-merlin]

Not to discount you but that was kind of something that KZbinrs covered about a year ago. It's one of those widely known mechanics that most seasoned players know (especially if you've also played divinity original sin 2, which is still an amazing game and I'd recommend picking up) but still obscure enough to new players to not know. So it gets left out in this kind of limbo where everyone that knows, assumes everyone else knows

[@red-merlin]

​@@0-kingsloth-020he means you can select a different character at the start of combat or in a different order other than the character you snap to in turn AS LONG AS they are the next in line to take a turn. If your character has to wait for an enemy to take a turn then you can't choose them yet, but you can choose anyone that takes a turn before said enemy

[@joshualee3059]

@@red-merlin yep i figured most people would know about it, but I can tell you at ;east person who doesnt know is the youtube streamer Oxhorn lol I was trying to give him some hints but he pays absolutely no attention to me probably because im not sending him money to patreon ,,, sigh i like his lore videos at least

[@jaytoochill_]

Pretty sure this is an early game tutorial pop up lol.

[@Twotone-ld1fb]

I think its interesting when looking at achievement stats on steam how many people do not have the achievement to beat the game. In fact there are so many achievements for just reaching certain points in the game that im amazed how many people bought it then didn't even get to act 2......

[@terezahromadkova2775]

The zevlor thing will actually trigger if you don't interact with the device in act 2. I kept missing the fact that zevlor is even there for my first 3 runs and i got the pic with dead zevlor in camp.

[@michadybczak4862]

Thanks, so many weird things to discover. In many playthroughs, I stumbled upon 1/3 of those mentioned in the video. I also got Zevlor to join me for the final fight in my first playthrough.

[@darkestpassenger.]

Fascinating, I didn't know the painting was that rare, I got it on my first complete playthrough lol 😅 I let the pods be just because I didn't want to kill Zevlor but I also didn't feel like fighting mind flayers either so I was just like "ah, I'm sure he'll get out SOMEhow". And in a way, I was right 😂 It is quite a gorgeous painting, I did leave it in camp and I admired it every time I passed by it

[@michadybczak4862]

I noticed people saying they decorated their camp with something. How does it work? We get different camp sides. Is the stuff we put there not disappearing when being in another camp?

[@darkestpassenger.]

@@michadybczak4862 Honestly I haven't the faintest idea lol. I just put stuff in my inventory and when I bring it to camp, I put it in and around the only empty tent. But that was a more recent thing I started doing. As far as whether or not the stuff you put down comes with you once you move to a different camp? I don't think it does? More room for decor from the different areas I suppose lol

[@Haassaanko]

Not sure if it was mentioned here, but if you choose the "purge" option on Zevlor's pod the bodies will get dumped into the hole underneath the prison. After defeating Ketheric you can just go there and pick up the loot (If I remember correctly one of the Fists has an unique sword).

[@eevo4954]

with the first one you don't actually need to click on it at all if you just walk past it you still get the painting that's how i found it out in a durge play through

[@transientconduit]

It messed me up for a second, because my character is called 'Jocelyn' when I saw your popup saying 'Jacelyn is inspired' I thought for a moment that I was playing

[@joshgulrud]

@7:00 I've killed several goblin children. I guess only Tiefling children are invincible.

[@It4int0ver]

Never ever did 99% miss this. It’s a regular quest.

[@michadybczak4862]

Gerson, or the character looking like him, shows up suddenly near the entrance to the Last Light Inn, when you skipped meeting with Isobel and go outside the Inn. He sprouts warning that we need to go to Isobel for blessing, because it's too dangerous outside without it. My suspition is, he is a random character shouting certain messages and appears only if needed. In the last playthrought I slaughtered the grove, so he is not with the group of tieflings by default.

[@seanobrien1323]

I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE PAINTING !!!

[@Lrbearclaw]

My first playthrough (blind) I got Aylin, Isobelle, Arabella, Zevlor, and Yurgir on my team for the final battle.

[@katies8102]

I got the painting from Orin... I totally walked past Zevlor during my first game 🤣

[@Banana-cc5rx]

The Gerson npc is meant for multiplayers it seems. So NPCs move and to let players who split up from the ones killing the goblin leaders and letting them know the story progressed

[@gerardo5133]

I never even found zevlor on act 2, and the painting did trigger after 3 nights on camp.

[@sleepyslasher-i2g]

a small hint for anyone whom wants to keep dame Aylin as "child of moon maiden" and do not loose that great blessing after her killing Loroekan, do NOT tell her anything and kill Loroekan yourself, then go back to camp and tell her, she will thank you and both her an Izobel sWILL join for final fight. ****SPOILER ALERT**** IF you keep rolan alive till act 3, he will also lend you help for the final fight and after a long rest if you go back, you can see he had moved cal and lea in too and they all thank you for saving them.

The Thisobald one isn't necessarily true, you just need to acquire the ingredients from the stache, and the purple worm guts to unlock it, but story wise yes the recipe you find in his lab will give it to you if you don't discover the stache before.

Many thanks. I've been looking for that inspiration for a good while. Looks like it also works for clerics of Selune. Not sure if it works for Yondalla but I'll keep you posted. Update: It works! Now if someone can figure out how recast speak with dead works.

[@chance4827]

I managed to get Isobel and Aylin to join me but I guess the gather your allies quest is bugged because they didn't show up for me. Neither did Mizora and Valeria. Really disappointed

Whenever you convince Yurgir to off himself therefore fulfilling the Contract that Raphael made with him ot frees him from his Pact, you meet him again in the House of Hope and he then Thanks you for his release but at the same time you must pass a saving throw to convince him to fight along side you against Raphael after you kill Raphael he joins you in the final battle.

[@celestebigaignon6054]

It’s a 30 persuasion check if you had him off himself, which I do, because Astarion 🤷🏻‍♀️. Helps if you have super high persuasion, which my sorcerer/bard had.

[@Ren_Ca]

The grand infernal painting can still be obtained even if you don't interact with the Mindflayer console (Trust me, I would know )😥 In my first playthrough, I assumed the mission diamond that appears in the minimap for saving Zevlor would be the final encounter with ketherick, especially considering that I entered through the backdoor Myrkulyte labs. I wanted to leave it at the end, so I went for the elevator instead. When I saw the cutscene of The Dead 3, I was too enthralled with the story and Gale to continue. Queue act 3, When I received a grim reminder of my negligence, I was so f'n sad. Several hours had passed, so I didn't want to redo that again. Thus, I resigned myself to move on.

power word not going away due to a death trigger kind of makes sense..... in the raphael fight, I had shadowheart use the divine favor to AOE attack but the minions reflected radiant damage back at her so she died instantly but did not lose the divine favor and I was able to use it again at a later time, I used hopes for the fight after that though.....

[@kylesavage6319]

[@meltingdragon2220]

Is that a recent change? 4 months after release this scene would not trigger at all if you didn't interact with the pods. I should know it, I accidentally ran straight past them. I always though Zevlor just ditched the Tieflings as I never saw him again lmao.

[@kylesavage6319]

⁠honestly, I couldn’t say for sure. It’s not an aspect I paid too much attention to and only made note of it because it happened shortly before I saw this video.

I'm surprised you talked about Antuwun and didn't talk about his dead werewolf lover who took his own life with the acid and who's body is found in a hidden room between the chamberlain's room and the room where you find Antuwun's body. Not sure if you've talked about it in the past? You've covered more secrets and rare interactions than anyone else after all.
