Baldur's Gate 3 - Honour Mode Glitchless in

Speedrun submission for SGDQ 2024.
Run on Patch 6, Hotfix 22, which is a bit slower than previous patches (around 3 minutes), but is the current patch of the game.
Commentary is a bit scuffed, was doing a lot of stuff but hopefully this is good enough!
Broadcasted live on Twitch -- Watch live at / chronos

[@ChronosReturns]

Heyo everyone! Sorry for the delay in the tutorials, was busy working on this for SGDQ 2024 submissions, but this should be a good enough explanation for the new glitchless route on Patch 6 for a bit. Will finish the other tutorials and stuff this upcoming week now that my workload has lightened a bit, so expect them to come this next week. If anyone has any questions feel free to comment down below to ask!

[@SmoketySm0ke]

No questions, just commenting to say it's fun watching your runs, and that I'm looking forward to the future tutorials! It's totally possible to follow your gameplay in these runs, but I really appreciate the more long form tutorial that explains not only the "what" and "when" but also the "how" and "why". Great work bud!

[@chrisbigglock1529]

Will you make an update once you get an answer for SGDQ to keep us in the loop? also love your runs :)

[@ChronosReturns]

@@chrisbigglock1529 For sure, I'll make an announcement if I do!

[@dungeonboss8356]

Is the second potion of speed required? Because I did not get lucky with the mindflayers

[@ChronosReturns]

@@dungeonboss8356 It's not required, but it is very useful, you do need at least 1 though.

Amazing. What I love about your glitchless runs is that it's obvious how much work goes in to them. You use item locations, environmental tech, and spells that are so unique and need both practice and deep game knowledge to work in the right ways. Keep up the good work.

[@doctertroncat3147]

I followed as closely as i could to do almost exactly what you did. somehow by the end of the run jaheira was seen by someone as i was trying to jump my way across to the brain stem. she died and i had already killed la'zeal so i attempted to spawn in a hierling from withers to be my sudo jaheira. they also died. so i snuck my mindflayered ass up to the stem my own way. scared to death i still used the mage hand/ invis trick as i climbed the brain. invis still worked. made my way to the portal. used levitate to go down to the brain. placed all my bombs/fireworks/a nautiloid barrel and an oil barrel. levitated back up. used fierce perilous stakes on myself. ended my turn and prayed. the brain dropped those orb things put up a shield and back to me. throw the firebomb at the rest of the bombs and Fkn KILLED EM!!!! Thank you for this video. was a lil tricky to follow. a slowed down version would be nice i bet for other people. other wise it all ended up working out, so thank you again Chronos! (i finished in about 3 and a half hours, playing and stopping to watch and rewatch certain moments of the run, like dialog options, level ups, or jump pathing)

[@JohnWI13]

The good thing is that, if everything goes wrong, you only lost about 2 to 10 hours, not fucking 60 like I lost

[@doctertroncat3147]

Actually same for me when I was doing a more full playthrough of it. Made it to ketheric after 60 ish hours and died on his second phase lol

[@yaahc]

Thank you for doing this video on patch 6. It's honestly super inspiring, this was the video that got me off my ass to finally try some speedruns of the game. I doubt it would have had the same effect if I had needed to downpatch.

[@Erloir]

Thank you Chronos so much, for using actual version and sharing your knowledge

[@StillSundazed]

Thanks so much for the commentary! Everything was super easy to follow. I beat it second try 1h 31m in-game time, although I did do some glitches in the final act (kidnapping gortash + orin dev room) playing as gale origin since I did NOT want to mess up the final fight lol. I needed a doable guide for the achievement and you perfectly delivered :D

[@gilberthangel6949]

[@wynachtsmann2665]

You absolutely safed me on my plat run. I had no idea how to the netherbrain part after invis got patched. Thabk you so much for a quick nice guide. Everything worked on console for me

[@TheFreakyVader]

Nice. Learned the old route through your vid’s and was wondering how a route on current patch would go. Good stuff!

[@sholev]

Thank you for the guide. I was able to complete a run after about 30 attempts by following your steps. Aside from making silly mistakes, the major challenges were the githyanki versus emperor fight and the use of invisibility potions towards the end. If the githyanki fight extends beyond one turn and they cast hold on Jaheira, it usually ends badly. And at the end for some reason, throwing the potion doesn't always render the target invisible. It seems more reliable to break the potion with the arm next to the character instead of throwing it, although it could just be my luck. For this reason, I opted to stock up on two additional invisibility potions while purchasing bombs, allowing for two attempts with each character at the end. However, this lengthens the run as it requires accumulating more gold prior to the bomb shopping segment.

[@mclean339]

Bro, this is awesome. I have loved this game. I beat it a couple times then told my wife I wanted to get the platinum trophy on PS5 (which included beating it on tactician). So I did it. Then I wanted to beat it on Honour mode. And I did it. …. And now I’m wanting to speed run and solo play it, and I’m learning a lot from what you did here. ….you skipped so much, and you were very meticulous on locations of jumps. Wow. When I died at Mykrul my first HM playthrough at 28 hours, I almost gave up. I can’t believe how easy you made that fight. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@damcrac]

What a perfect setup. My goal is to do a single playthrough that gets all trophies except dark urge, tactician and honour mode, and following this speed run with your tutorial, it'll clean up the list nicely! Now to find out what version comes on the disc versions. Could always resort to the default patch.

[@ChronosReturns]

This run uses the most current patch of the game, which should be the same version that's used on the console versions, if not, I believe everything should work pretty much the same!

[@damcrac]

@ChronosReturns apologies as it appears I rambled, lol. Understood it is current patch. I might not get to BG3 until June or July depending on their physical versions starting to be shipped. I think they are putting patch 5 or 6 on disc so this will work if they patch something out before I get to it.

[@AlexVictory]

Thank you, was able to follow this with controller on my PS5 almost completely except for 3 parts: The jump down in the gauntlet of shar, throwing orin off the platform, and the jump you did with jaheira after getting onto the boat in the brainpool. Easily circumvented with; a quick leap of faith trial, an elixer of cloud giant strength, and a bit of jumping around with invisiblity.

[@UnearnEverything]

Yo, I'm totally stuck on my PS5 on the gauntlet of shar, tried to jump down for an hour but the camera kept going crazy. Can you please post some more tips for how you did the steps you've explained above?

[@tomb2426]

@@UnearnEverythingyou can jump down on console too but instead of using jump I would cast a spell then go into turn based, turn the camera all the way around to the right so you’re looking head on towards the lower level, then use the free storm-sorcerer fly on the left hand side. Jump is technically possible but way harder with the camera imo

[@LoonyLuvgood]

@@UnearnEverythingI jumped down to the trial of faith where you can just auto-path walk to the corner of the end platform and boom, got one orb for the elevator.

[@Pejlon]

Thank you very much for this guide!

[@TerryCraig-lb9yl]

Thank you! I've tried (and failed!) honour mode multiple times, but thanks to this guide I now have a shiny gold dice 😁. I had to do the Gauntlet of Shar the long way (with lots of cheese) since I couldn't get my Tav to jump through the small gap in the broken stairs but everything else worked on my PS5. Thanks again, these videos are great.

[@voyager4495]

How did you throw Orin off the cliff on ps5? No matter where I target at that edge of the platform as he shows, on ps5 it says “target too far” or “path interrupted”, it won’t let me find a spot that says “death” where I can actually toss oron off.

[@voyager4495]

Also on ps5 for shars temple, I couldnt do the gap either BUT you only need 1 umbrel gem to use the lift to get down there, and you’re perfectly set up for the jumping trial. So I grabbed just one gem, took the lift down, then used “knock” to open the door (only a bit slower than jumping down the gap but faster than getting all the umbrel gems and safer)

[@TerryCraig-lb9yl]

I was about to give up on this myself but it is possible. You just have to swing the camera out over the chasm until the 'too far' message changes to a 'death skull' icon. The throw happens off screen thank to the awful camera angles on the ps5.

[@JTMynhardt]

How did you do the moon lantern bit at start of act 2?

[@voyager4495]

@@JTMynhardt the easiest way is to follow the guide and have shadowheart use command drop to make him drop the moon lantern, but for console just go ahead and have shadowheart pick up the lantern (this will cause a fight) and then open her inventory and send the moon lantern to your tav. The scene will start for the lantern with your tav and you can just let shadowheart die. After she dies, they will all leave and you can go rez her. It’s possible to also “throw” the moonlantern, which since you aren’t picking it up doesn’t aggro them, and throw it far away so they leave without it. I found that trickier to pull off before he picks it back up off the ground though, so honestly just let shadowheart take the fall.

[@ProfessorCLion]

I love the oversight of allowing people to drop stacks of bombs and throw them. Thats a true “not intended by the dev problem.

[@The_Foil]

very cool! going to try it myself!

[@catdad626]

Hey, thanks for the guide! Fairly easy to follow along even with console controls. If you're like me and wanted to save durge for a legit playthrough, you can't waltz into bhaal temple via birthright. Adds a couple steps but it's still very easy all things considered: Optional tip 1) recruit Gale, makes life easier later on. Just take small detours for 3 magic items or buy them later. Optional tip 2) rescue volo for pickpocket profit as necessary, takes two conversations and one illithid check if you need it 3) head to shadow lands as normal, if you're on console command-drop the moon lantern with shadowheart, let her die in combat, resurrect her at camp 4) head to waypoints and shar temple as normal 5) buy bombs and be sure to get stacks right so they don't blow up in your hand, i had to figure out a way to blow them up in a backpack because i didn't do it right 6) release nightsong to zombie man as normal, say bye to shart 7) scale Moonrise to rooftop as this video demonstrates; subtle spell misty step out of trouble; defeat ketheric v1 and v2 (This is where my run got a bit more complicated but with some wiki study i figured out a route to coincide back with this video's upon entering bhaal temple) 8) follow the prism intermission setup i.e. Eldritch knight Jaheira empowered by enlarge, throw monks into the astral plane 9) [im a bit hazy on order here but hopefully it doesn't matter] arrive in rivington, leap to 2nd floor of the bunkhouse across from wyrms crossing waypoint, find murder list, interrogate the mum's body to figure out Dolor is the killer. Optional 9a) id talk to gortash to make sure he is an ally prior to dealing with Orin. Honor is for slowpoke heroes, and my halfling Tav wants to go home 10) head to lower city, leap to roof of elfsong tavern, go down the hatch to second floor, chat with investigator to trigger murder quest. {I did this before finding Dolor's secret room behind the wardrobe, but maybe it doesnt matter, the order} 11) invisibly pickpocket the poem and the bag o' hands from Dolor as he plans his wine poison; escape detection and head back to basilisk gate 12) break into tombstone shop, infiltrate murder tribunal, lie about being an edgelord, kill an innocent Hollyphant for the greater good and to maintain your double agency. Severok bequethes you the amulet of bhaal. 13) head to sewers via manhole by Baldur's gate waypoint; open first door after orin reveals herself, sneak past ambush, leap to bhaal temple door and open it. 14) enlarge 20 strength jaheira, turn invisible, throw orin to her doom, follow her temporarily until Withers can ctrl+z 15) seal deal with pretty boy 16) head to nether brain, try and fail to save Orpheus from illithidhood (i tried to tell them i had a wizard bomb, i tried to convince laezel vlaakkith wanted her bones, to no avail. If no emperor, someone becomes a squid i guess) 15) leap invisibly to brainstem, and have gale take one for the team GG! I play quite slow so this took me two nights and 12ish hours of game time, more with my planning. But definitely a nice quick way to achievement compared to a legit painstaking honor run.

[@EcnoTheNeato]

The line between glitch and acceptable cheese is quite thin, it seems! Jump? Clever! Casting mage hand then entering a cut-scene then switching to a dead companion to "unlock" the characters so you can then use the mage hands to throw potions to make them invisible mid-cut-scene? Also working as intended 😀

[@AYAYAYAYAYAYA921]

amazing run and love the commentary too!! just quick question, would doing the thing with karniss (putting moonlantern in the bag and the people around just go away) not be considered a glitch/bug? just curious

[@ChronosReturns]

For now, I believe that it's fine. Basically when the Moonlantern is taken away, the NPCs will leave no matter what after a certain amount of time. If we really want to count that as a glitch, there's a lot of alternatives that you can do that take longer but are effectively the same thing: - You can keep dragging the Moonlantern around so Karniss keeps failing to pick it up, and eventually he'll give up and leave. - You can pick it up, start combat and die with Shadowheart while everyone else stays back, then once the fight is over, revive Shadowheart and continue on like normal.

[@nolanfelstead5081]

Great video very helpful the only part im having trouble with is the jump to the final platform in shars temple, could be cause I’m on console but I’ve tried for awhile now

[@Sleepvertical]

@chronos if you accidentally get into the dialogue with Raph in front of the gauntlet of shar entrance you can attack him to immediately end the dialogue and he'll just disappears. No ramifications for it. It'll save maybe half a second if you accidentally get into the dialogue.

[@ChronosReturns]

That's pretty neat and good to know! Definitely will keep this in mind in the future if I ever fail sneaking past by accident.

Was my throwing position wrong?

Failing the command: drop on the drider is a run ender (reloading on honour mode is definitely considered a glitch as there is no way to do it in game) Requires a decent amount of luck, as well as infinite smoke bomb carrying you (also not a glitch?) but generally pretty entertaining. 100% clickbait title though - needs to be in a different category

[@kevins.3573]

Edit: you can work around it to make it fool proof and requires zero luck. The drider does not move after conversation with bugbear. DONT TALK TO DRIDER AFTER BUGBEAR. Drider will stand still, permanently. Move the basket next to the drider. Cast command drop, enter turn base using shift+space. failed? try again. if it worked. jump to the basket while still in turn base. move the basket if needed. open the basket. place the moonlatern in basket. the coyote will stay, and everyone will leave. with shadowheart cast inflict wounds on the coyote after everyone leaves. you get two turns and surprise attack on the coyote as well as your other two team members are there to back up shadowheart. The coyote only has 15hp. If you get unlucky, the moonlantern clips inside the basket not allowing you to move it inside the basket. just pick up the moonlantern. let them kill shadowheart and revive her at last light inn.

IT WORKS! I DID IT TODAY. But i changed some things. I took more invisibility potions, some more bombs... etc. I did it in 5´40 h, chilling. I think that the worst part is Katheric fight, bcs if you dont have the ring equipped, you will fail. I speak spanish and my english is regular but if you have some specific question i can answer... More or less :P

[@akron5487]

AND CHRONOS YOURE THE BEST I learned a lot!!!! Thanks for your work and the amazing video

[@mr.deadman1973]

That skip for the elevator in the Temple of Shar to the Shadowfel avoided the glitch I ran into. Going down the elevator Karlach and Gale stayed on the elevator, while my main character and Shadowheart stayed in place and fell down the chasm when the elevator moved out from under neath them. Honour run lost.

I've learned if a character ever gets stuck anywhere to try and fast travel with that character to any of your waypoints u unlocked

[@mr.deadman1973]

@@doctertroncat3147 I tried. Since the character were just downed and wouldn't fully die, the only thing I could try was a short rest, revived them only to instantly take damage again to down them.

Wish I could make that jump to skip the Gauntlet of Shar, but without a cursor on the XBox, just can't get the camera angle to allow the jump. Sad times.

[@voyager4495]

What you can do instead, is complete just 1 of the trials (soft step is safest or you’re set up well for jump trial) because the platform that takes you down to that same area only needs 1 umbrel gem. So grab just 1, jump to that platform, take it down then use “knock” to open the door. A bit slower but not too bad since that Jump is almost impossible on console

if anyone try to stack 10 smokepowder bomb to kill myrkul beware, some smokepowder bomb have bug that will instantly explode when throw, so better kept them seperate stack, so you will know some stack have bug smokepowder bomb

[@SomeLad12]

I’m just going to copy your build so I can get the achievement as fast as possible

[@babyzzzzzzzz]

i decided to do the first part of the the run to test something but forgot and ended up going past what i wanted and trying the full run however i didn't catch the part where chronos say the first set of bombs are bugged and proceed to mix all the bombs up until i was getting lvl3 with my tav and decided to check what spells i needed and realised i was fucked, hoping that the current fix would have solved the problem i kept going, threw the first set of bombs at ketheric, he died, threw second set of bombs at myrkull and it blew up in my hands lmao, i would've been more disappointed if the run wasn't doomed from the start since i wasn't planning on doing the full thing i didn't go durge(which i guess could have been solve with some glitchiing) and didn't have a second potion of speed for gith fight, time to try again :)

[@quantumflea]

Many hours played and somehow missed that you can throw a whole stack of bombs.

[@NoradNoxtus]

that orin fight :o

[@MMarinich]

Great guide! I just have a problem with the Myrkul fight. I throw the bombs on Kethric just fine. But when I threw them on Myrkul the exploded right after they left my hand and killed me. Does it have something to do with the fact that I used 14 bombs instead of 10 you used?

[@Mitula_elven_warrior]

16:29 I got to this point on the PS5 but couldn‘t make the jump due to extremely restricted camera angles and I couldn‘t point anywhere that didn‘t say „invalid target“ etc. Is there another spot to jump from? 😢
