Some of you might know about all these by now but hopefully this video will help atleast a few of you :) I'm currently hunting for every secret in my current playthrough so let me know if you'ld like a follow-up video 04:22 - I realized that this is reachable by a ladder, so disregard this one. I totally forgot i destroyed it by mistake lol

In the Druids Grove, down in the beach area with the sad bear, there’s a flat rock (conveniently label as such), move rock to find Amulet of Silvanus, good to cast Lesser Restoration once a day. Nice for anyone who’s Astarion’s juice box, since removes Bloodless condition. The key to the unpickable door is lying on the ground towards the stream, not too far from where we find Karlach.

[@MrHulthen]

That's a good one, thanks!

[@elenalizabeth]

Astarions juice box 😂😂 I feel called out 🤭

[@Maitredebo2]

3 more secrets: -You can save the 4 npc's with the mask in the hag's lair. You need to pass without beeing detected or with a mask( and protection against good and evil spell to resist the charm). Then, you HAVE TO kill the hag. If you let her go, even with successful persuasion/intimidation. They will attack you after the dialog. However, only the halfling will show up in act 3 no matter what you do. -you can talk to the frog north of the swamp after the hag is dead for a reward (nothing special, just loot) -1 very rare interaction can happen with the drows petrified near the spectator. If you kill Dhourn and the spectator, the others drows will not attack you. Since they don't have Dhourn to lead them and are no longer charmed, they will go peacefully. You don't have a special reward, just a dialog that probably 99.9% of players didn't hear.

[@V1rtualFlod]

You can also fight them and use a non-lethal attack for the final blow.

[@Nyxakeyin]

With Dhourn, if you leave him alive after the fight and are playing a female drow you can bully him into giving you the memory shard without having to fight him

[@justyce_yt]

I had no idea about the last one with Voss! That would've been nice to know for my gith warlock

[@ch3nz3n]

5:10 - You can just put a vase in each seat. No need for a party member to occupy the throne/switch contraption.

[@MrHulthen]

Nice! Good catch

[@MotoCat91]

>opens youtube >New MrHulthen vid 7 seconds ago ooh, don't mind if I do

[@mortdeath1674]

When done talking to Khaga in the grove for the first time go into the room nearest her, at the back is a little semi secret alcove with a chest. In the chest is a letter and a book, the letter points you down to the beach where you obtain the incriminating evidence reading the book gives a sage background (iirc) a point of inspiration. So a wee bit more experience.

[@elenalizabeth]

4:50 for this area there is a key to open the door down near where you find Karlach, and your character will even make a comment “I wonder what this is for” when you pick it up. Also the only one of those traps you actually need to disable is the pressure plate in the back room, as without that pressure plate going off, none of the gas vents from the front area will go off. Also to open the back room you don’t have to have people sit on the chairs, you just have to put a vase on both chairs.

[@elzaimcheshire]

In act 3 in Sarevock prison there is a prisoner, a dead guard. On him there is a love letter which is sent to Plume the dragon child that Durge murders in Act 1. I have just done the season of the judgment of Sarevock, my first run I was Tav so I don't didn't have that. I just came across it and I didn't feel very good the rest of the day when I discovered it.

[@elenalizabeth]

6:25 also with Khaga if you are playing as a Druid and convince her to side against the ShadowDruids, you will be given a staff by her and the title of “Faithwarden”. And while it doesn’t really do anything (outside of being able to tell Jaheira when she has you in her vines that she should let you go because you are Faithwarden), I still think it’s fun for role play purposes. I think if there was more Druids in act 3 then being Faithwarden would have been more meaningful, but the only Druid I have seen in act 3 is the Dragonborn praying to Chauntea to heal the tree.

[@thetexanmando]

the tiefling in front of the chest that the rat leads you to, as long as you aren't in her line of sight and go into stealth you can loot it without her knowing.

[@elenalizabeth]

You can also just wait until after the Tiefling party, and then go and loot that whole room as no one will be around there to see you.

[@barryevans791]

OMG I thought the wolf tablet opened the door into the room with the statues that leads to the cells and the back entrance that the goblins invade! I had no idea you could press them all to create that staircase and I have 400 hours in the game.

[@Morden97]

If you're on honor mode and really want to get that legendary sword, a rangers bear pet has the honeyed paws ability at level 5 that has a MUCH higher chance of disarming kith'rak voss than shart's command spell. You have to let the bear drink an invis potion then sneak for the disarm. If you're not running a ranger you can use q hireling from withers.

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

That chest in the basement that leads to the infernal iron has a ladder to it. The chest on the ground is trapped though so that might have destroyed the ladder.

[@MrHulthen]

@@Blasted2Oblivion yeah i added that to the stickied comment haha

[@elenalizabeth]

7:37 I think they’ve changed this as he only ever drops his bow for me. Most people I’ve seen comment on other channels also say he only ever drops his bow.

[@Nyxakeyin]

For Voss, heat metal actually has a better chance of getting him to drop the sword. Or you can use a level 5 beast master bear (invisible) and divination wizard for up to like... 80% chance with advantage i think. I know it's crazy high though

[@orenmontgomery8250]

3:26 You can cast 'Lesser Restoration' on her and she will stand up and move. This allows you to distract her, crouch down, and steal the contents.

[@MrHulthen]

Oh nice, thanks!

[@elenalizabeth]

You can also just wait until after the Tiefling party because then no one is around and you can loot everything in that room (mostly food and potions).

[@evelyne1307]

Don't talk to the squirrel as durge tho, not unless you're ok having it's end on your conscience 😢 Also 3:43 you can just get on the right side of the chest, sneak, and loot the chest and then the cabinet, no need to go psycho on the poor girl 4:26 there's a ladder, don't waste time stacking boxes

[@LucMarGui]

If you save (spare) Alfira this way at 4:20 are you still able to get the Charisma Robe she gives you as a reward after saving the tieflings in Act 2?

[@elenalizabeth]

Yes, that’s mostly why people do this in the first place. As long as Lakrissa is alive and you rescue her from Moonrise (as her and Alfira are together so the reward from Alfira is for rescuing Lakrissa).

[@LucMarGui]

@@elenalizabeth thank you so much. I'm in act one in my Durge run (Bard, a Alfira lookalike) and definitely didn't wanna pass on that Robe since it is the best in game for Bard/Warlock/Sorcerer.

[@elenalizabeth]

@@LucMarGui if you aren’t playing for role-play purposes and just playing for fun, you can now just summon that robe (and all other armour/weapons/jewellery) with the cheat ring mod. It’s under the “cheat summons” list and will summon a chest into your inventory, but once it’s summoned you need to go into turn-based mode as the chest only lasts for 5 turns (so send what you want from the chest to camp or other companions). There’s seperate chests for armour, weapons, jewellery, arrows, potions, alchemical supplies, etc. so you have to go through each one at a time to get what you want from them.

[@Maesterful]

Perfect timing for me

[@DeusNyx]

It be nice for more like these. Or How to romance characters, Lae'zel or Yummy Mummy Karlach, etc, - because no matter how much I try, Astarion keeps bedding me! Also, I didnt know Minthara was a character you could recruit!

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

Minthara is actually a funny story. You previously could only recruit her through either siding with the goblins rather than the druids or through a convoluted path involving polymorph, dominate beast, and a lot of throwing of a sheep. The devs decided that, if we were so dedicated to saving the Grove AND Minthara, they would just let us do it. All you have to do is KO her and then clear out the rest of the goblin camp. She will then be in moonrise to answer for her failure where you can save her.

[@DeusNyx]

@@Blasted2Oblivion Brilliant! That's what I love about this game, so many paths to complete a quest!

[@KingRitoru364]

I need that hair style and outfit. Mod? 👀

[@chika4275]

Larian said there was hint to be found in BG3 revealing their next game? 🤔

[@MrHulthen]

@@chika4275 hmm, haven't found anything that specifically teases something but maybe there is 🤔

[@BySpartan]

I thought this was about NieR Automata untill I saw the title KEKW

[@SPOOKYTIMEZ2077]

I thought it was a 2b mod. I was about to download it immediately.

[@kennedyflint6140]

What mods did u use for your Tav?

[@MrHulthen]

Hair: Kay's Hair Mod (officially supported) Clothes: Bodysuit of Dominion (Scantily Camp Outfit/not officially supported)

[@eliasvernieri]

[@MrHulthen]
