Baldur's Gate 3 - Let's Play Part 26: Confronting Gortash & The Guild

[@teresarose685]

The only feedback I can give is that I can’t believe this series walk through is almost over. Wolfheart, this playlist is better than anything on Prime, Netflix or whatever. You’re a gifted narrator and storyteller too.

[@WolfheartFPS]

Mannn love to hear that. Thanks a lot

[@kitten_with_bad_breath]

​@@WolfheartFPSits 100% true. Ever since i started watching your l let's play i deactivated my subscriptions

[@edsylvester751]

I havent watched anything else either for the last month and a half that I have been playing the game. Just about to finish this let's play series today, and then on to the tactician livestream series 😅

Gale has sacrificed his camp clothes on the non-existent pressure plate

[@keeleyhoek]

At the end I had thought to myself, "oh, Wolf should have brought Lae'zel to Voss because of the moving moment Lae'zel finally receiving a silver sword surely is for her"---then I remembered. 😢 We press on. For Lae'zel!

[@Thedeepseanomad]

I wish there would have been a line thrown in about Lae'zel´s absence. Another issue for future patches/mods.

[@nisse18]

What happened? Is she dead?

[@mcfreker1487]

She was murdered

[@NickGuelker]

Personally, I say don't worry too much about missing things. Once a game like this becomes a checklist, all the magic is gone. Do your thing and have fun. If you end up running around for 10 min without bearing fruit, edit it out if you must. It's your channel and you know better than random people what makes entertaining content. That's why you have the audience you have. Thanks for the videos bud.

[@WolfheartFPS]

Thanks Nick

[@ryanroznowski2263]

gortash the mastermind. the man who installed randomised flamethrowers and auto grenade droppers every 10 feet. RIP to his tower even if he wins the battle,

[@Shadow.Dragon]

Wolf, your "battle prowess" is outstanding! You truly live by the motto "Never give up, never surrender!" Thanks for the great video!

[@crispy_338]

Good thing you disabled the Steel Watch. If you don’t that fight is basically impossible. They cheese you with bombs and self detonations

[@CMald]

It's quite easy to throw the bombs back at the enemy

[@crispy_338]

@@CMald Except when they throw bombs and then immediately attack them to detonate them directly on your party. I would start my turn with almost no health on any characters.

[@italovidigal1990]

​@@crispy_338in my fight gortash triggered upstairs and took forever to finish his turn. That fight was buggy as hell.

[@avielparrack3764]

@@italovidigal1990 Yep, did not disable the steel watch and this battle triggered gortash upstairs and all the steel watch walking outside. Each AI would take like a 20 second turn trying to figure out how to path to me while I hid in the corner in darkness 😂 took like 2 hours.

[@nedobedogaming8928]

I absolutely love this let`s play series, more than I have any other series on youtube in years!! I would love to see an evil playthrough but not a VOD, I just can`t get sink into the other one with the constant interuptions of having to thank people for subbing etc which I understand you need to do but what you do with this one is an absolute masterpiece and I hope you keep them going for many years to come. Thank you for all the work you`ve put in!

[@WolfheartFPS]

Thanks! Yup totally understand how it can be tough to watch live streams.

[@kitten_with_bad_breath]

Hate live streams. Constant thanking gets tiresome.

[@Burningskull13]

I feel like Karlach's dialogue after you kill Gortash is some of the best in the game. If not the best.

[@Ilens]

Wow, just noticed that you are in the end credits being thanked by Larian, Wolf! Probably already knew that, but it was cool to see; just finished my first run. ❤

[@chasefleetfang9542]

Kinda sad that you didn't continue with Karlach's companion quest in Act 1 and got him to see Dammon. Not to mention in Act 2, you could've also interacted with Dammon at the Last Light inn before speaking to Isobel. I feel so bad for Karlach and how she's been mostly forgotten in this run.

[@kitten_with_bad_breath]

My Damon literally ran into the shadow curse frightened by my zombie 💀

[@werosification]

dammon died in act 1, he couldn't go to him

[@angie73568]

oh no the end is near, iwill miss this series. i really like this lets play

[@armytroy]

Agreed! I think his next one should be played as an animal companion...or maybe Scratch. 😅

[@kyleganse4978]

I have read that there might be more content added to round out act 3 further later. Hopefully they offer a way to save Karlach.

[@TalkingAboutYooh]

I hope Larian expands on Karlach's story. Right now any of her endings are not ideal.

[@TheLokiel]

I’m honestly a bit disappointed in the storytelling in this game. Some parts of the game seem unfinished and you can guess at a lot of cut or rushed content.

[@RedmoonXD]

Karlach was a last minute addition (so I heard)

[@tjlanglois1989]

What I heard was there was supposed to be a whole section in the actual Upper City, but because of time crunch on the release they had to nix it and cut a few corners. Which is understandable. Hopefully with this installment, Larian can command a bit more in the negotiations next time and say "It will take as long as it takes to make it. Just let us do our job."

[@TheEpicSpire]

1:17:39 To quote Kevin [from the Office]: "Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?"

[@tjlanglois1989]

This quote is goated with the sauce *in an Australian accent*

[@franklinjenkins1093]

When I see your playthroughs it really makes me want to go back and play it again. It was a really good game. Already done it. I don't know how many times at least five times

[@Fallenpack]

I honestly enjoyed the fight against Orin more then I did for Gortash. Gortash's fight for me felt very easy if you just throw back the grenades he throws at you. I liked the concept of his fight though. He's a man who focuses on fear and oppersion so he relys on his minions more so then his actual power. Keep up the videos Wolfheart!

[@keeleyhoek]

In Patch 1 they buffed up Orin (AC and HP) a bit, so you have more of a chance to see the cultists complete the ritual, too.

[@Fallenpack]

@keeleyhoek oooo that's good to know. I beat the game before patch 1 released. I'm currently going through a second playthrough as The Dark Urge

[@lastonestanding1641]

I beat Orin in one round with just my fighter. 9 Attacks in one round raining down on Orin (haste and action surge) and whoosh, done. Way too easy.

[@TheGodLycan]

you don't have to keep things moving forward people can skipover what they don't want to watch goat your own pace people like watching you discover things and explore the world and its encounters, sorry you felt rushed during this

[@Rubiecat]

wait Oskar Fevras has the same face as that one pain goddess worshipper who can whip you lol

[@francisgricejr]

LMFAO, I love Minsc so much! He is the greatest! Kinda reminds me of Drax from guardians of the galaxy but way more entertaining! Boo FTW (I am Boo) 🤣

[@scanix100]

You don't have to kill Voss in act 1, you could cast Command: Drop Weapon and get it. You will probably get the 2nd one.

[@timbaker2024]

Gortash is tough. I was down to one I had to have him chase me outside and down a level. When he came down the level I made a mad break back up and back to my group. He ended up staying on that level so i rezzed everyone. And healed and dropped down to his level and took him out. But yes those traps and bombs are insane.

[@aignacio660]

Subscribed as a really love your playthroughs + including bits of lore in there is very nice. I finish the game once and it's really amazing that our run is so different. I wish that you'd do another run as the Dark Urge as I feel like his story really fits the lore more than TAV and would really like your commentary on it.

[@WolfheartFPS]

Thanks much

[@silentservant_]

So I just thought that the elder brain is the perfect archetype for A.I. It’s something to think about considering what the future holds

[@PureDreadd]

Im a fairly new subscriber Wolf and i have to give credit where credit is due. Ive been binge watching your entire series here and have loved the way you play and describe to your viewers certain aspects of lore we would never know. I will be slightly critical of certain ways you play however. I am aware that sometimes focussing on the main story is what drives attention for he videos you create, i just wish that sometimes you would go the extra mile, explore random parts of the map, check for hidden secrets and loot things you wouldnt normally loot. All of these things become spectacles for the viewer. I also wish you didnt let previous Baldurs gate games or lore you know impact the way you play. I feel like sometimes the team composition is lacking just due to the fact that you hold certain members above others, due to previous knowledge of them. Overall this has been a great series and when all is said and done i will miss it. Thanks for all the time and effort making these videos for us.

[@WolfheartFPS]

I'll definitely take that feedback into consideration. Thanks

[@ryanroznowski2263]

if all companions could be on your team like in old games you would need more time and wider battlefields but imagine how crazy it could get with the whole camp fighting at once

[@nodaysoff23]

I destroyed all the traps in the busts room before engaging Gortash cutscene. Then pulled them into that room. He was an easy fight that way. Wish I knew about the bomb throw though, lol.

[@ogeee923]

Damn, I'm gutted Lae'zel wasn't there to witness the end of this episode 😢

[@ryanroznowski2263]

smokepowder bombs are high level enough that with enough movement speed and luck u could clear that battle with grenades he basically hands you

[@vargen_live]

I had to fight Gortash with Steel Watch active ... such long fight !, can't wait to see the final episode

[@WolfheartFPS]

That's insane Vargen!

[@vargen_live]

Oh yes that was insane and stupid, but if you can't finish the quest with certain NPC's because they are all dead and can't talk to their bodies cause they died atrociously, you got no choice as far as I know, i've made a vod of this@@WolfheartFPS

[@WolfheartFPS]

​@@vargen_livesweet I'll check it out later today

Those traps though... 😂 I'll just figure him outside next time

[@kbar4462]

@@WolfheartFPS lol yeah, I didn't even think to pick up the grenades until I saw I saw in this LP 😂 Btw not sure if you saw, but check out the Words from the Team in the end credits

I love let's plays, and this is one of the best I've ever watched. You've nailed the balance on this series.

[@DKH712]

love the run. I'd watch another one

[@tjlanglois1989]

My Gortash encounter was vastly different because I snuck in through the roof and only had to fight three people lol.

[@WolfheartFPS]

that's funny

[@FloppyCat1990]

You can throw those bombs and they explode on impact. They do a lot of damage to them.

[@MrBigBentz]

When I took on Gortash shadow had to use her one time divine intervention to give my team a full rest. Without that I would have wiped so hard

[@GB-sh9st]

I can't believe you survived that throne room -- certified badass

[@WolfheartFPS]

thanks haha

anyone else want to do jaheira run where u use her spells and sword skills and only owl bear when already out of slots or almost dead. she is powerful and can do more than paw strike

Wow my gortash fight was so much shorter, we all dog pilled him after destroying the shield generators. 2 rounds and it was over

[@saimabbasi361]

I am waiting for what unfolds when you try to free Orpheus. As of now, it seems like you might have to choose between the Emperor and the Prince...Can't wait for the next episode 😵‍💫

[@StormWildSpace]

Karlach's story is so tragic... none of her endings are happy...

[@angie73568]

omg i just did the math, it will take me 8 hours to watch this on 0.25 speed and thats after watching it normal for the first time lol

[@TheEpicSpire]

if you think Karlach's story is sad.. then try doing a playthrough .. a true "put yourself in the role" playthrough, with her as your love interests .. and not the have Wyll in the party...

[@nickhernandez7263]

When is shadowheart gonna pull you aside at night?! I hope we get that scene before the end

Nearing the end of this series and I'm honestly surprised you haven't tried talking to Boo with animal speak

[@truesurvivor5767]

Have to ask the community a question. Since the big patch, is tactitan harder? or should i say I miss way more 70 and 80 percent rolls. After 3 TPK at knoll fight for shipment, i said heck with it. I was level 4. Maybe i was just super bad day for me but thought I would get a few opinions.

[@tortureddesert3453]

Dont understand where the grenades came from

[@angie73568]

skal to the pack

[@ryanroznowski2263]

bravo for using bombs but unlike all other people playing the game you didnt cheese every battle with explosives and stealth and shoves off a cliff

[@knightmare8083]

Lol. How does Karlach know what "motor oil" is?? Just say'in.

[@scottross2762]

Where is Leon? Missing his tacts run. What are you planning for your next Let's Play?"

[@rekylbrems]

If you want to play a bit cheesy just put party in globe of invulnerability and use ranged attacks. I was able to defeat Gortash with the steel watch included that way. Gale was able to cast the spell twice. Also great playthrough 👍. I have been watching every episode when taking a break from my own game😊

[@therealkoga2519]

Damn I'm early, how are you wolf?

[@WolfheartFPS]

Good and you ?

[@ThwipThwipBoom]

Wolf never used Orin's vault 8 key 😔

[@Rozen23]

He never used any vault key

[@Fallenpack]

And the vault's have some really good items!

[@ThwipThwipBoom]

@@Fallenpack That's what I hear. I'm really curious as to what a sociopath like Orin would've had stored in a bank vault.

[@TheLokiel]

There is a lot of things he missed. The legendary bow on the titan body in the steelwatch factory, the very rare helldusk hemlet in the house of hope, … At least it’s a shame for the bow but he can’t get it now.

[@WolfheartFPS]

I have never been the type of player who cares that much about items and item optimization. With that said I can see that many viewers do! In the future I'll try to give it a little more focus for you all. Cheers
