[Act 1] Solo Death Knight (pal/wiz) - Spectacular Spectator - Honour Mode

Hi!
Very scary fight! We make use of the spear Vision of the Absolute and a Glyph of Warding: Sleep to give us an advantage in this fight. Honestly this fight is an easy way to get a game over due to the paralyzing ray. Failure on that equals death! I still wanted to risk it and give it a try. In future runs I'll probably handle this very different due to the paralyze, it's just not worth the risk of getting a game over.
tl; dr bring Glut with a Bulette minion instead of doing it like this.
Thus begins a new Baldur's Gate 3 Solo Honour Mode journey! What I mean with Death Knight is a multiclass of Oathbreaker and Necromancer. Since animate dead is a Level 5 spell it will take us awhile to get it. Hopefully Oathbreaker with some thematic Necromancy spell will give the character the right feel.

Casting Hunter's Mark after doing all the damage is a classic move, can't count the number of times I've done that in DnD games.

Haha yea I hear you. I sort of knew the spectator (probably) wouldn't wake up from it but I was too much of a chicken to do it anyhow heh.

[@ninian9332]

I really like your opening move with sleep.

[@FriendlyLich]

Thanks! Sort of a desperate attempt but it worked :D

[@BlackMetalVayu]

The opening sleep was sick tbh

[@amethystphoenix7127]

Hey, great video! I've watched quite a few of your videos, you've got really great strategies! My friend and I just failed our first duo Honour Mode run, so I'm coping and absorbing tactics! Keep the videos coming, I love your work!

[@FriendlyLich]

Thank you! Glad to hear that you enjoy them! I really know the feeling of failing runs. Had plenty ending before starting this channel and very likely many in my future as well, but let's hope not hehe. How did your run end?

[@amethystphoenix7127]

We were in Act 2, at the Balthazar/ Nightsong fight. That's a scary fight, such a small space, so many enemies. Thing is, we had done really well up until that point! Then it all just ended so fast! @@FriendlyLich

[@FriendlyLich]

@@amethystphoenix7127 Oh yeah that must be rough. I hope to have a quite big army of undeads at that point. Hopefully that can turn the tide. Are you going for a second attempt now?

[@amethystphoenix7127]

@@FriendlyLich I'm not really sure, we haven't talked about it. I feel badly, cuz my friend is a much better player than I am. I feel like he would be better off without me... but who knows, maybe he just likes playing with me!

Why do you put the potions on the ground at the start?

[@FriendlyLich]

I kept them there so I could use the mage hand and either heal or buff
