Here is the Pinned Comment: 1. As of 1/11/2024, using the Astral Tadpole has no significant impact on the story/game and endings. 2. As of 1/11/2024, you can enter and leave the House of Hope freely for unlimited Restoration Faucet uses. 3. As of 4/25/2024, Giving up the Forbidden Knowledge at the Mirror of Loss now causes you to lose the +1 bonus to Wisdom checks/saving throws. I will update this comment as time goes on. Have a great day, and as always, thanks for watching!

Our Lady of Silver He has gifted us the part 3, thank you Lord Marshmellow and King Shatter

[@OathBlivion15]

Finally finished up the game! An incredible guide, and probably the best guide series I've ever seen and followed. Thank you so so so much for putting it all together for us! You're the best, Shatter! Now I have to find the 'urge' to challenge the game all over again for 3 achievements. See what I did there? Lol. But alas, I hope the series does well for you, and that you and Marshmellow get all the fancy treats!

[@ItsShatter]

@@OathBlivion15 I wish you the best of luck and thanks for watching!

[@LoneWolf1379]

I just noticed that after I killed Orin, when I entered the house of hope and left, the debtor's attire disappeared. Then, when I went back to the house of hope, everyone was hostile. This is an issue on the PS5 only from what I checked. PC still works.

[@Sharkhandyman]

In House of Hope, How do you get hopes disguise again if you were to bring a new party member? I brought Gale because I needed greater invisibility for the items and they were alerted..

[@majorwoody666]

After 5 months, 700 hours, and 3 concurring play throughs, I finally earned my golden dice and platinum trophy. All thanks to this guide. If I ever pick up a new game and need a guide, you’ll be the first person I look up. Mad respect my dude 👍🏼

[@STELEDAIM]

Hey Shatter! To keep this comment short: this guide series is the reason I could enjoy this masterpiece of a game. Thank you so much, sincerely, for the ungodly amount of effort it must've taken to make this video trilogy.

[@ItsShatter]

Of course TEUS, I’m glad to hear it! Thank you for the kind words and for watching, cheers!

[@GamerSoul4Ever]

Best baldur guide of all time. If guide awards exists this needs the Oscar to all categories

[@21catsinatrenchcoat39]

finally finished the game 103 hours in, what a beautiful experience you’ve given me!! this guide helped me explore almost every aspect i’d have missed, and you have my gratitude!!

[@theancientsam]

103 hours? Must be nice, takes me 15 minutes just to walk down the street because of the lag

[@firefoxoutfoxed7268]

Found ur Act 3 guide after getting lost in there and managed to finish the game and discovering I’m much better at killing than saving when left to my own devices. I’ve come full circle now after following ur Act 1 and Act 2 guides. Wouldn’t have found my way to completing all these quests otherwise. Thanks for all the info and putting in the work with the story line. Awesome job and much appreciated!

[@ItsShatter]

Thank you so much for the very generous donation FireFox! I’m very glad to see this guide series has been helpful and added to your enjoyment of one of my favorite games. That makes the effort all the more worthwhile. Thanks again for watching and wishing you the best. Cheers!

[@stonehengeman]

You won't see this Shatter - but I've just completed my first run of this amazing game thanks to you. And now I am going back to the first video to do it all again. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything so clearly and simply. It really added to my total enjoyment of the game. I can't believe it's all over. But what's this? Oh - new game..... Thank you mate.

Part 3: Return of the Goat

[@pinx884]

finaaaalllyy

[@Noize-Mafia]

I don't know if you will read this, maybe you will? I played around 60Hrs of BG3 and had a middling character that seemed to weaken with every encounter, skill issue, obviously. Point is .... I grew frustrated, fast, which is when I found your videos and without a doubt I wouldn't have finished the game without them. 10/10 on all aspects, including the sprinkle of your personality found therein. BG3 is now top 3 of my favorite games ever and I basically owe it to you and your videos. Thank you, so much, from the very bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

[@ItsShatter]

Hey Leito, I did read your comment. I sincerely appreciate your words of kindness and I am glad to know this series helped you get the most out of BG3. Cheers for that!

[@Sigismund-von-Luxembourg]

For some reason every time I get to the 3rd act in this game I completely lose all interest in finishing it. At the same time I feel like I can replay act 1 and 2 endlessly and never grow bored of it.

[@HyperEditzz103]

I know this feeling, it helped me when I grabbed the helldusk drip from raphael and beat the game with it

[@Spacepuffin007]

I find the same thing. For me I think Act 3 opens up to much, like there is so much on the go with side stuff I couldn't keep track of anything

[@domandal3015]

I only did act 3 side quests in 2 playthroughs. In my other playthroughs I just beeline to the end after getting level 12. I usually end up only doing shar temple, Raphael, Gondians, and main quest things at max level.

[@giovannimaldonado2275]

I'm watching this video because I got overwhelmed by how many things act3 throws at you.

[@ssjperez]

It’s so much talking and politics

[@Rj-vr9uc]

Thank you so much. I started this game recently and was completely overwhelmed by mechanics I wasn't used to as well as all the quests, exploring to do and missable stuff. The closest game I had ever played to this was maybe The Witcher 3 or Elden Ring. But your guide gave me the insight and confidence to get through my first playthrough! Now i feel comfortable playing through multiple times to see everything this amazing game has to offer! I even plan on trying out tactician and honour difficulty! I would've had a hard time falling in love with this game as much as I have without this awesome guide series. Thank you!

[@ItsShatter]

Thank you so much for the kind words and donation RJ! This is exactly what I was hoping for with the guide series and am glad to play a part in your love of this game! Hope to see you around for the Elden Ring DLC (Shadow of the Erdtree) Cheers to that!

[@tEerieInternet]

Gracias, and Thank you for dedicating so much time and dedication and care to all your videos, I really appreciate what you do for the community, misc would be proud of your achievements.

Thank you for the kind words and donation Eerie! Wishing you all the best from myself and from Marshmallow!

Been waiting for this one, the first two parts were fantastic, and the sheer effort and planning that were put into them were extraordinary. Without a doubt this will be helpful too. You’re doing Gods work brother.

[@Zedistra]

Just completed my 1st playthrough following this guide series. 215 hours! Awesome work with this guide, Shatter. Thanks

Thank you for the kind words and donation Veni! I will be sure to keep chugging away!

[@Salbunty]

Spoilers ahead: you can completely bypass the persuasion check when you go to rescue Orin’s victim if you sneak to the room behind her and speak with her dead mother first and get some info. Your party member is safe and Orin just goes for a fight!

[@JoshSweetvale]

"Haha you're inbred" Vicious mockery crit.

[@pandacore333]

i really cannot thank you enough for this guide, its incredible how well put together it is and i honestly cant imagine more satisfying first playthrough, i would just miss all the best parts.. keep up the good work fr!!!!!

[@SoSahri]

Fun little tidbit that he missed in the Emperor hideout. There's also a fork you can pick up that's on the desk next to Stelmane's portrait for some dialog.

[@JoshSweetvale]

Baldur's Gate 1's DLC had Balduran's Dinner Knife, on a werewolf island.

[@vagrantstory4551]

I found another solution for 14:32 : When you are at Fargyo's Flopphouse 10:57 for Astarions quest at second floor, go to the balcony there. From there jump or warp to the balcony of the third floor. Inside you find a Invitation for lord gortash's ceremony. When you talk to Elin you can just show her the invitation and she let you pass.

[@anameii_games2]

Do you gain exp and get approval from your companions if you do it this way as well?

[@vagrantstory4551]

@@anameii_games2 shoot, i forgot 😅 but i think exp yes but approval no. But i'm not that sure anymore sorry.

[@theancientsam]

Oh i wish i had done this been loving the rogue lifestyle

[@luc1ferous]

And now everything is in place for my second playthrough, I've been playing through the first time blind and watching these after I finish each act... I'm really looking forward to playthrough 2 now! Thank you for all the hard work this obviously took!

[@oxhra1]

just got my platinum and 100%, i used your guide for 100% (took 65 hours) and used a speedrun guide for the dark urge trophies (7 hours), giving me a clean total of 70+ hours to platinum, thank you so much shatter ❤️

[@victorvinicius7551]

I would like to express my gratitude for this guide, which wonderfully assisted me throughout my campaign. Thanks to the tips i was able to have a smoother campaign and achieve the stories I wished to complete. I also enjoyed over 60 hours of gameplay accessing places I never imagined existed. Therefore, I would like to leave my message of gratitude for the immense work done with this guide. I wouldn't have been able to succeed without your help.

[@BC7277]

Shatter! Thanks for the guide Bro! This definitely got me through getting all the achievements and my Golden Dice! Mad respect Bro!

[@ItsShatter]

I will definitely say cheers to that! Thank you for the kind words and for the generous donation Wayne!

[@ItsShatter]

I will also say that getting the golden dice is no easy feat, guide or not, well done!

[@ultimatedilan]

Thank you very much for the guide. Finished with 135 hours. It’s crazy how OP our party are in these boss battles. I donated something on PayPal.

[@leskulgrim]

I already know this guide is going to be awesome! Held off on doing Act 3 because I was waiting for this.

[@hildaibuyan4161]

A tip for those playing in console if you want to get all the expensive stuff from vendors (this only works on neutral, ones with yellow highlight, and hold person-able vendors), talk to target vendor with one character then cast hold person on the vendor with another character while the vendor is still engaged in a dialogue with the previous character, then, use another character to pickpocket. You can pickpocket as many times as you want without reloading. After getting the items you want, send the pickpocketer and the one who cast hold person to your camp then finish the dialogue with the first character. 😊

[@garystringer2582]

142 hours later, I make it to Act 3 for the first time. This game! (I played the entirety of Act 1 twice) Your guide has been brilliant. If anything, it would be good to be able to periodically have a closer inspection of your worn gear. Some of the levelling up as well was confusing for me on PS5. Though, you've done a wonderful job of being thorough all-in-all. Exemplary guide. Thanks.

[@HikariMagic20]

I am right with you at 141 hours! I have some ideas on how I want to try replaying this in the future already and I have not even touched the third act till now.

[@M0RGAT0RY]

Played Act 1 3 times 😂

[@mgee9130]

Sadly both my characters got stuck to camp at the end of act 2 so I never got to see act 3 even tho having 150h in the game😒

[@LumenShajesuz]

You have no idea how much I need this. I get so overwhelmed playing wondering if I’ve made the “right” decision that I can’t even enjoy the game. Understand this all helps so much, thank you.

[@Thomasgmt]

Man this is perfect, I'm about to finish act 2 for the first time following your guide so I don't miss anything story or item related. Can't wait to be in Baldur's Gate !

[@danielkresock6538]

What a fantastic guide and series. This has allowed me the time to finish a complete playthrough before diving into Dark Urge and Honor Mode! Thank you again!

[@Thevikingninja117]

Thank you so much man. After 215 hours of playing the game, I have finally done it thanks to you. What an incredible journey and well deserved of goty for 2023. I usually hate turn based games, yet here I am having beaten this masterpiece, and actually in my own dnd campaign as well. Following your guide made everything so much easier for me to follow.

[@ItsShatter]

Nice! For me, DND was a gateway into BG3. Figured it could also be the other way around. Thanks so much for watching and I am glad it was helpful and that you had fun!

[@elDragonDami]

Hi! I want to thank you for these three guides. As a begginer in this game and in this mechanics, the series really helped me. Althought I complete my game in the easyest difficulty minutes ago (and I cried my eyes out in the process) I can now say that I know how to play the game and I got a little thactical with every lose. So really really thank you! I want to play it all over again with diference choices (class, atributtes, romance, etc.) because I know that there's tonts of content for me to explore and outcomes of course. P.S. (and maybe spoiler): If you kill Lorroakin just with your party and because of that Rollan is not there, you can still gain the "Leave No One Behind" achievement and gaine all alyies still. Again, thank you very much, and I really can't wait to play it again in a total diferent way!

[@tylerb7575]

Another interesting thing at 18:30 is if you have wyll in your party he can convince karlach to calm down saying that she needs to relax because his fathers there

[@kldavisson]

just a lil tip, if you can't get Ansur stunned using just Karlach - I switched out Jeheria for Gale and brought Lae back for Minsc after like 2 hrs of reloads and finally got the achievement ;-).

[@pinx884]

[@Rob-fi2pe]

Thank you for the time, effort and quality you put into this guide. I'm sure many gamers are in my shoes and are looking to finish the game without compromising on the story. It's so vast, it can be overwhelming so this straightforward guide has been wonderful!

[@fadifozberry6511]

I followed all your instructions from act 1 all the way to act 3 and I honestly had more fun than my first play through

[@rafty9831]

I love this guide series! I know this came out a while ago but it can maybe help someone in need. I have a small tip that can help for the Iron Throne Guide. 2:24:16 Just before opening the Hatch and starting the encounter, if you still have an action available, cast Dash. You can even wait one turn after casting all of your buffs and then start with dashing, since the encounter lasts less than 10 turns, you should still be able to take advantage of every buff. Since the encounter refreshes all of your actions, but still counts as not having ended the turn, you can double your movement speed for the encounter, making it much easier to traverse and giving you extra actions for other stuff in case you need them. If you want to get silly, you can also exit turn based mode and with one character input buffer the dash action 3 times (cast dash 3 times as fast as you possibly can) and then press the hatch or enter turn based mode. This should quadruple your movement speed, but it can only be done with one character, so if you are running a party of 4, do this on the character that will most likely do the cleanup and move around a lot. Hope this helps!

[@Cancevik]

[@dianarendon4037]

When I got the game I couldn't make heads or tails of it; I had never played a Baldur's gate game before so your guide made it so I reached the ending, I might have given up or not enjoyed the game so much (I was feeling so directionless). Thank you for making the game way less intimidating ♥

[@farey3467]

[@valery898]

I've completed this game multiple times, but your guides have shown me new things that I still somehow missed. I can't imagine the amount of time that all of your amazingly comprehensive walkthroughs took. I love that you explain the different options for each encounter and why you're deciding to handle it a certain way, so we can make informed decisions. Thank you so much. Your work (and this game) is legendary.

[@robhoward9078]

I have to say, these are some of the best walkthroughs ever! Nice job! Your time is much appreciated!!!

[@SLorenzo-in-cyberspace]

Great guide! I watched it mostly because I couldn’t play while working, and I found it entertaining - I could fill in the gaps where you left out the cutscenes which is great! Also, unless I’m mistaken, I don’t think you mentioned the Strange Ox at all (?). He is in Last Light in Act 2 when you first get there, and in Act 3, you must look for him as soon as you arrive in Rivington, otherwise he is lost. In the southernmost part of Rivington, close to the donation barn, he will be in a separate barn, alone. Talking to him gives you a quest. You can only get this final quest if you talked to him in the grove in Act 1 and succeeded on a Charisma (Persuasion, Intimidation, Deception) check. For Act 2, you will need to succeed on a Charisma (Persuasion), a Wisdom (Perception), or an Intelligence (Nature) check. You will need to have the Soeak with animals spell for all three encounters. There isn’t an associated achievement for him I think, but you can call on him as an ally during the last parts of Act 3.

[@ProphetTruth95]

This is the best BG3 guide series. Hands Down.

This video series is the Absolute benchmark in how an RPG video walkthrough guide should be done. Just excellent work across all the videos.

[@Lumity-qk7pe]

Thank you for this series. I started my first BG3 run 3 months ago, but stopped shortly after getting to Act 3 cause I was overwhelmed with where to go/what to explore/what I could end up missing. I decided to start a new campaign following this guide and am enjoying my time again. The only differences is, I do not need every achievement so I am romancing Shadowheart instead of Karlach, and I am being as mean as possible to The Emperor.

[@TabaLowga]

A big, massive thank you for time, dedication and detail in the making of this guide. I'm kind of new to the D&D game.

I played on Explorer to learn mechanics and got all the way to act 3 then as Durge on Tactician before giving up on it at the Grymforge. Other characters were sprinkled in between those. Then more of my friends picked up the game recently and I got the itch to play again. I dont know if i could have made it all the way through it without you. Thank you!

[@PonyKiller81]

So glad to see this!!! Stopped one playthrough just to wait for this one to come out!!!!

[@Ann-wang-0218]

Just want to say thank you for making this guide! Even im playing the game differently (romancing Astarion, rotating all companions...etc) this guide still help me so much in act 3! Thank you again!!

[@johnjohn4598]

I’m following this starting act 3 , in Raphael’s house now. My second play through with mods. Been fun so far, thanks

[@burrofarm]

Your guides enabled me to get so much more out of the game. I couldn't be more thrilled! Thanks for being so thorough with your explanations and for taking the time to make guides like this!

[@leojgutierrez3791]

This is great! Just finished act 2 with your guide. Love your guides so much. Thank you!

[@MartinRiber]

Concerning Orin on Honor mode: you can cast Speak with dead on her mother prior to engaging in dialogue. This will unlock an option which saves your companion AND skips rolling a rather nerve-wracking check.

Let's gooo!!!! I've been waiting this for weeks, you're the best ❤

[@eareldur]

What an amazing amazing guide you've made!! And what a journey this was! Thank you so much for all the time that you've put into these guides, they are amazing, from start to finish. Best wishes from Argentina!

[@rsoulman2111]

Many thanks to you Its Shatter, this series was of great help to me.

Small heads up, was no longer able to buy the ring off the Djinn in the initial conversation. 8/7/2024 or 7/8 for non-U.S. Still was a simple 10 DC Pickpocket, able to do it from behind with no invisibility potion necessary.

[@LarsFaut-fj5zp]

Same, had to pickpocket as well but its easy with a dex character.

[@CarlWhitmore-r3d]

perfect timing, about to clutch this act up before college starts up again. absolute lifesaver, 10/10 guide as always!

[@SanityPotion776]

3:27:11 I was shocked when I also didn't need to save scum even once or use a single inspiration. Post Game Edit: Thank you so much for your series. I was very much put off by the complexity and CRPG nature of BG3 at first so much so that I never picked up the game prior to around a week ago. Your series helped me experience what is quite possibly one of the best if not at least top 3 games I've played in my lifetime. Thank you for all your time and effort to put together such a well structured and easy to follow guide. I will now suffer from post game depression 🥲

[@ItsShatter]

Thank you for the generous donation and kind words Sanity Potion! Funny coincidence with the nether brain skill check! I’m so glad to hear that this guide series helped you enjoy and experience this wonderful game! I can definitely relate to that post game stupor 😂

[@theNoobmaster69]

Thanks, Shatter. I just beat the game after almost 8 months of restarting because of how overwhelming it was. Also subscribed.

[@softie4645]

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned here or not, but there is a way to obtain Bhaalist Armor and the other cool items without killing Valeria 1. speak to sarevok as usual until he shows you the ghost of the person you killed 2. swap to your thief character and sneak in 3. either use invis potions to pickpocket the ghost (it has all the trader items), or cast darkness/fog on yourself WITHOUT it being on any of the npcs 4. profit and then kill sarevok and save Valeria I tried this on Tactician Mode in Patch 6 just now as of 5/6/2024

[@viscovolt]

THANK YOU THANK YOU 1000X THANK YOU!!! THIS STILL WORKS AS OF PATCH 7

[@madvdog8018]

That was incredible, a great guide. The edit, the music, great explanation and super commentary from you. I love it and I'm just annoyed that I discovered your channel and the videos so late. Thank you, great work! 🙏❤

[@HugoFR12]

couldn't have asked for a better guide to help me with this incredible game. Thanks for the work you put in, and I'll be sure to check out your other vids!

[@OLC62]

A great series. Can't wait to 100% this masterpiece!

[@ewgrosslmao]

The best youtuber. Thank you for all of your hard work!

[@xeno1864]

Thank you for these excellent guides! Using them I finally got through honor mode.

[@latentcc9448]

Thank you for all your hard work! I had an absolute blast playing the game while following your guide! This is easily one of the very best games I've ever played and I'm grateful your guide allowed me to get so much out of it in one playthrough!

[@kgkartifact]

Thank you for a phenomenal guide, I’m so grateful for your time and effort putting this together. Thank you 🙏

[@csllycruel]

hi! just wanted to say thank you for making this guide, sometimes searching information for this game on the internet is really hard because of how the patches changes thing and etc, so you doing this series with such dedication is really appreciated!! :)

[@parsatiger]

Hey there, I had a few questions from you if it’s possible. First of all, thank you for your effort to make a great walkthrough on such a complex game like this! So I haven’t finished the walkthrough yet but I wanted to make sure that you went over all of the achievements in this walkthrough (other than the ones you mentioned at the end), second can you get all of the achievements in 2 playthroughs? One going based on what you said and second one woth dark urge and the evil ending. Thanks a lot again, I haven’t found a decent walkthrough as yours among all of the videos I’ve seen bout this game❤

[@ItsShatter]

Yes you should be able to get all achievements in 2 playthroughs. The only thing is if you’re playing Honour mode difficulty then you will only get to choose one ending while playing as Durge and it will have to be the evil ending to get the Sins of the Father achievement.

[@parsatiger]

@@ItsShatterI’m playing the game on PlayStation and apparently, there is no need to finish the game on Honour mode in order to get the platinum so I think its gonna be much easier to just play as durge and get the evil ending. Thanks a lot for answering my questions ❤️

[@burrofarm]

Thanks!

[@ItsShatter]

Wow thank you for the very generous donation Chris! I am always happy to help!

[@HulzebobEfkers]

I enjoyed this game mostly because of this guide. It must have taken an enormous amount of work and I just want to say I greatly appreciate it!

[@Necrorevan]

It's been a while since I saw a walkthrough made with such dedication, attention, and care. You can count on me as a subscriber for life. Thank you for this amazing guide and for all your hard work!

[@bens2090]

What an excellent guide! Thank you for the time and effort that went into making this. It really added to my enjoyment after my first playthrough and finding all of the things that I missed.

[@lokinslawomir0793]

The work you have had to put in for these guides blows my mind… you are a beast dude!! Well done and saying thank you isn’t enough, you made this game so much more fun for me and feel like less of a job, because you made it your job! But regardless, I still thank you.🙏

[@andreslandaeta6534]

Thank you for having the best guide ever in a game, very very complex game and you do it great, I enjoy every minute of the 160 hours it took me to finish the first time, for me the best rpg of all times thank you for the effort of doing this guide 🎉

[@unleashedhero2225]

Thank you for this phenomenal guide. I learned a whole lot, despite having known a fair bit from my own initial play-through. I appreciated having a guide to follow so I couldn’t accidentally miss anything.

[@wilksy1993]

I had a blast following this and it was super helpful with me not really knowing what order to do specific things. I really hope you do a dark urge evil guide. I'm planning thst next but can't think of how to do things since alot of the quests will be different.
