that frog almost killed my whole party, i feel like a lot of people watching wont even understand how scary that frog is

[@arcanisdivinitis]

Easy counter to the frog, throw it.

I met him after kill the hag. He said thank you and show me some gift. So why he's dangerous ?

I forgot to save my game for 30mins before I encountered that frog. I went back all the way to the goblin town and had to try and talk to Goblins into thinking the guard just let me pass. Luckly I has Astarian in my group.

[@rurukitty405]

Yup ... thats exactly how I imagine Astarion. When I realized you can kill Goblin children, I didnt hesitate to let him stab them to death for throwing rocks at the poor bear xD

AC only matters if you don't have Magic Missile

[@OiCroco]

@@PriotechExcept you get your magic missiles reflected at you, to beat the frog you have to remove the mirror image spell it has casted on it by melee attacking it 3 times, then it becomes much easier to hit.

[@martinmarvinii3139]

[@hirammendoza2670]

I can really feel this video: When I was playing, I saw a frog once at the swamp near the Teahouse. After some *croaks* and *ribbits*, the little frog started to fight my party. I laughed so hard at first, but that smile quickly turned into a horror expression... We all died horribly in TWO rounds. This is the only fight in the whole game I never tried again as I was scared with such power of destruction. Maybe bad luck rolls, but god, this little boy was terrifying.

[@merx3guy]

This resonates so hard. My party was half dead, and saw the frog and was like "pff, I need just one guy to get you". Go with one PC to the frog, see 4 hp or something like that, was thinking easy stuff.... hit chance 3%, toxin downs the rest of party IN ONE HIT. By some miracle, one manages to strike the bugger down, but man I accepted the TPK in 2 turns

[@Justin-gz3cp]

He has aan AC of 31 I think xD

[@bluemoore5874]

I'm very happy I always cast animal speaking on my bard after a long rest, I just encountered the frog, had a confusing conversation about water and it left.

[@Toonwalla2010]

I almost got everyone downed in 2 rounds and was only able to beat him because of Shadowheart making radient damage with sacred flame! and she only got lucky because it missed her once and didn't get the chance to K.O. her

[@almisami]

The secret is to hit it with Vicious Mockery or something similar. It has bad INT, CON and CHA Saves,

[@D20AttackRolls]

I thought the frog was gorgeous and wanted to talk to it and then it TKO'd my whole party for no reason. I'm with Astarion on this one.

[@elenalizabeth]

I think they loved working on this game and love the fans so much that when they get asked to do “silly” videos like this (or Astarions “only fangs” video) that they seem to jump at the chance.
