Baldur's Gate 3 - Freeing Nessa and Fighting Shar Worshipping Rat Army

Side activities in the Gauntlet of Shar.

I love how for this encounter everyone in your party is clean. And then there's Astarion.

[@KennanW]

He always seems to miss walking through it or be out of the party if we walk through water or take a short rest.

[@amandasunshine2]

Lol he's a dirty boi 😂

[@norelle28]

@@KennanW It's most likely just coincidence, but it would make sense lore-wise that he avoids water out of habit, since being a vampire Spawn makes running water sting like acid, if I remember correctly.

[@Norinia]

@@norelle28That was actually a feature during early access. People got annoyed with how long it’d take to get Astarion places (or they’d end up accidentally killing him (I think I got pissed and forced him to stand in the river once so I’m guilty XD)) The team figured, well, since the parasite is supposed to canonically suppress any other of Astarion’s vampiric drawbacks, why not throw that into the bunch as well? I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a mod to add it back in, but honestly, it’s a relief considering how much time you can get stuck running around in just Act 1. Don’t need to add scurrying around to find an alternative route for your teammate to that mix as well.

[@sy1-0]

I had no idea we could free Nessa wtf. I always felt so bad for killing her. Both playthroughs of mine I just saw the ambush and was like "fuck you and fuck everyone". Just ambushed and killed everyone

I only got as far as him killing the merrigons, after that I convinced him I'd help him before taking him and the beast out from a more advantageous position.

[@QuinnthePrincess]

I did the same thing. It’s crazy how many different paths you can take for pretty much any interaction in the game! I’m definitely going to try this way on my next playthrough though because I felt bad about Nessa getting shot 🥲

[@TeamPlasmaSC]

I didn't even think this encounter was a thing. I didn't follow the Displacer Beast, but took an alternate route that let me see Yurgir and his henchmen propped up for an ambush - instead I got the drop on them.

[@mediumvillain]

I never had any dialogue here at all, I came in around the side to the beast's lair, opened an owned chest and looted it, and despite being in sneak mode and not in any creature's LOS it immediately triggered combat, the displacer beast ran into the room alone (and got killed in one turn), and the devils were all hostile up on the ledge in the other room, so I just killed them all. Bit of a pain bc theres no climbing path and bad sightlines from that area so I had to teleport everyone up to them.

[@daniconner-johnson]

Hoy shit, so that's why Yurgir's contract was still in effect. I thought it was because of the weird undead justiciars. Had no idea there was a whole-ass rat-man.

[@fatterperdurabo42069]

The justiciars are dead, Raphael set this man-rat-swarm business up to imprison Yurgir after making a deal with the architect of Moonrise to clear it out of Ketheric's army. Two birds with one stone type of guy fr.

[@tias2705]

​The rat man is the last justiciar. Yurgir needs to kill him to be free, but he's been looking for a humanoid not rats.

I just used the thorny ground spell for the rats. Literally stood there as they all killed themselves

[@masondeross]

How do you not immediately get pulled into combat with him? I can never approach him without him and his ambushing party being all hostile already, and I've done this part on two different characters now. And if the displacer beast sees me, it immediately attacks too... I was able to taste the spider meat and figure out it was enchanted, but never able to do anything with that information.

[@KennanW]

Bugs I suppose. Maybe it was patched when I did it if it was after you or some other error based on what we did, an approach from a different angle, some party spell or item that effected one of the ambush party

[@mattgarrett2583]

If you go upstairs where the demons are, they instantly attack. If you go through the "ambush" zone where the displacer is so the demons have the high ground, the lead demon starts dialogue

[@jrrtt25]

This same thing happened to me on my playthru. I approached and the displaced beast just ran away into the ambush and I had to fight everyone. I literally had no idea you could talk to Yurgir or Nessa until seeing other people do it like in this video 🙄

[@natg4984]

If at the demon entrance you go left, you will see some broken ground. Jump [and don't fall to your death] from one broken ground level to the next and you will be able to find the carcass. But I haven't found a way to interact with Nessa. She doesn't show up to her nest, she just stays with the demons.

[@LightningSykes013]

How was you're astarion hitting so hard? I know you're running Thief but you did like 60 damage in one turn.

[@KennanW]

I haven't long rested in act 2 yet so I still have act 1's Morninglord's Radiance giving all attacks +1-4, Astarion has 20 dexterity, gloves of the balanced hand to give him two weapon fighting so an extra 10 damage from those two offhands, has the weapons Sword of Life Stealing and Knife of the Undermountain King in his off hand that gives a higher crit chance, and he had advantage on every attack so it should have done three sneak attacks.

[@selender42]

@@KennanWcan only sneak attack once per turn :)

[@Pgoodso]

@@KennanW Sneak attack is precisely once per round, and you don't have it set as an "ask each time" reaction, but an automatic usage, which means your first attack eligible for sneak attack will use it. You can prove it in the damage log, but also in the way the damage numbers pop up. Your first attack had 3 damage numbers, 10 and 15 in white, and 4 damage in yellow. Based on what the max dice roll for your main hand should be(13), the 10 was from your normal attack, the 15 from sneak, and the 4, being yellow, was from Radiance. Your second attack was a crit, but it only had two numbers, a white 16 and a yellow 8: no sneak attack. Your final attack had a white 11 and a yellow 4: no sneak attack. Total of 68, and the math works, 105 hp Yurgir is down to 37. But to the person you're replying to: this is precisely how hard any thief should be hitting at level 9 (a guess from all the spellcasters having a single level 5 spell slot) with ok gear and stats. The crit was nice, but this is by no means abnormal. Even if you hadn't crit, the damage would be lowered by 1d6+1d4. But with sneak, Radiance, and three attacks, one a crit, you're just rolling a LOT of dice: (1d6+7+5d6+1d4)+(2d6+7+2d4)+(1d6+7+1d4) = 9d6+4d4+21 You rolled 13 dice with a flat bonus of 21 from 20 dex and +2 weapons. That damage range is 34-91. With a 68, you barely hit higher than the exact average damage, 62.5. The only thing unaverage was your luck with the Morninglord: all 4 radiant d4s rolled a 4. Praise Lathander, hehe!

[@molealto]

@@Pgoodso Bit ironic that the Lord of Dawn is helping out a night-crawling fanger like Astarion :D - agree with your numbers analysis. Personally my Astarion almost always ends up a Ninja (Thief 4/Monk 8) to add extra flurry of blows and stuns with sneaky goodness - but when he dual-wields (until Act 3) it is with exactly those two weapons...

Shar is the worst goddess, she preys on the weak, the ones who are the most desperate. Even though they are ficitional, but still. She's a monster, I wish there was a DLC to eliminate her. Ketheric who was once a palandin, a proud leader turned into a puppet (partially because of her). She's so annoying and evil, far more evil than this Absolute.

[@masondeross]

There are far worse than Shar. She is just the embodiment of envious destruction from the jealousy of her sister being loved and able to create. The absolute isn't necessarily more evil than Shar, just more concerned with mental enslavement rather than using that enslavement as a means to end everything all together. For Shar, we are nothing, and resentfully necessary tools to return everything else to nothing, but to the absolute controlling all the tools are the point and that intent to control might be considered more evil than just the ambivalence Shar has towards mortals; it's all about beating her sister, which is more petty and sad. I would say deities that revel in torture and such are worse, like the god of pain whose name escapes me. All I can think of Lathandar the morning lord. Lumiar... Livithar... whatever, not the point. And then you have "gods" like the bitch queen lich of the Githyanki, who is much more evil than the absolute by far (just also less effective and more of a wizard of oz type of god than a real one). Shar is just a basic bitch is my point. So, she's "the worst" in the sense it's "the worst" when the ice melts in your soda. (turns to the sky to give Shar both fingers) Selune will always shine brighter.

I know they patched it so companions no longer get it re-applied if you dismiss them from the active party and then add them back, which used to happen even into Act 3 when you can't go back to the temple anymore to get it for your PC.

STOP LICKING THE DAMN THING! XD

[@daludna]

what's the name of that power that circles shadow heart?

[@KennanW]

At 12:15? Spirit Guardians, one of the best cleric spells.

[@daludna]

I'm so lame, I never used it, and now I'm in the final battle@@KennanW

[@kkj-vb6mh]

I attack rats , they said don't kill them just take treasure now I can't find any rat to trigger this anymore not even near Raphael ritual circle. Can I still kill them again?

[@KennanW]

Not sure, the first time I said yes the rat just kept running around the area but then disappeared when I moved to a further away character to jump them down. So it looks like if you agree they should just vanish, at least if you move far enough away from the rat that gives you the choice. I said yes to add to Halsin's approval (the hidden loot is garbage like all the hidden chests you find with survival rolls) and I entered the turn based mode to target and kill the rat so I could get both options. I later found the group of rats that runs from you that leads you to the climbable surface down to that area I jumped into and four rats that attacked me near the trial doors, but I assume that is just a bug (since the rats should have all been dead for me) and was only happening because I entered the area in a different way.

[@kkj-vb6mh]

@@KennanW I see , tank for your replied tho. That Dark justiciar sword and shield look much better than the 20 golds and 1 scroll those rat saving.

[@Qulize]

​@@kkj-vb6mhSo that's the reward the rat gives you? I don't regret fighting them lol

[@emilia4355]

I think they are running around in the temple so if you can find them, follow them wherever they go. They are usually headed toward the circle I think.

[@emilia4355]

I followed the same questline as you and they kinda just appeared in front of the pit

[@Wartgodz]

What axt is this

[@romanabanin2216]

Damn. He was hostile to me from the beggining, idk why

[@yohohoho971]

In order to have a dialogue, you need to follow the Displacer Beast into his ambush. If you go around and flank him, he starts off hostile. Same with if you go to the area with the spider body first.

[@KennanW]

@@yohohoho971 You can go to the spider body first, I did in the video,, but if you step into certain far spots and from the look of it if you interact with the chest in the area they will start combat when you move back towards them.

[@Pablorasta280280]

Did you get anything for freeing Nessa?

[@KennanW]

If you pass the very high roll for her not to attack you she joins you in what is a very easy battle even if you are fighting against her as well. The satisfaction of freeing an enslaved predator that will kill things and people in the future?

[@Pablorasta280280]

@@KennanW Fair enough, thanks for the reply

[@maurofrade]

Are you using mods for some of your gear?

[@KennanW]

I don't have any mods. Some color changes by using the default dye options.

[@Anhnoles]

What armor was Astarion wearing?

[@KennanW]

Just a dyed Leather Armor +2 and dyed Gloves of Balanced Hands, Evasive Shoes, and Cloak of Cunning Brumme (don't think I dyed that).

[@JanaSzIsBasicGlitch]

Oh shoot you can free Nessa? I am gonna do it... altho I need to stop watching this wanna find IT for my self

HOW DO YOU NOT SHOW HOW TO SPEAK TO NESSA?

[@KennanW]

Well, I didn't know my compilation videos would become popular with so many wildly incompetent morons who would attempt to use them in place of simple easily available guides or who say things like "I beat the game 8 times and didn't know you could do thing" where thing is often referring to talking to something instead of killing them on sight. So this is how I did it. I walked in (DIDN"T KILL EVERYTHING I SAW, NO FIREBALL, BAD, NO) and after using persuasion attempts to avoid a fight I saw Nessa, and then I clicked on Nessa (NO not after hitting the attack key or a spell, NO ATTACK, turn off Call of Duty/Fortnite addled brain, no kill everything) and then you start communicating with Nessa just like you can with the majority of everything else in a CRPG.

[@alexandrejosue9925]

Who tf is Nessa?

[@michadybczak4862]

This shadow beast (cat like creature).
