Can You Beat Baldur's Gate 3 using NOTHING But Summons? FULL GAME

[@AceWolf456]

Fun fact about your fight at the Adamantine forge. At 6 seconds per round, 405 rounds would be 40 minutes and 30 seconds in game. You were experiencing that fight at the same speed as the characters were.

[@brettsmith8491]

A note I had found out about Ethel is that her clones copy a LOT of things apart from one thing - her initative. She will ALWAYS be first on the turn around so you can hover over that one and attack her directly.

[@alexnonya5905]

you can also just examine her. The real one has red/brown clothing, all the clones have blue. When shifting into the woman, the real one has the pregnant belly, while Ethel doesnt.

[@Beowulf19]

i noticed that the clones have a lower level than the original.

[@amishtechwizard5540]

​@alexnonya5905 even simpler since I'm colorblind and didn't pick up on the colors but the real hag is the only one with the Fey Life passive from her charm.

[@mipmop6969]

@@alexnonya5905 Additionally, the real girl is level 1, while Ethel is level 5, and you can just attack the one that says level 5

[@jaxpestTTV]

The most poetic part about this is that his 'shitty level one aid spell' actually saved the run, as the spell gives him 5 max HP and he ended the brain fight with 4 HP.

[@TheMeatMan]

You missed out on a Kobold army. If you take out the Kobolds without any of the barrels erupting from fire, you can pick up those barrels.. The barrels make adorable gulping and slurping sounds from the Kobolds hidden inside of them. Throwing them or detonating them spawns a Kobold, they will be hostile to you, but also hostile to anything else too..

[@AdalynnCaelgirien]

In the Grym fight, you can actually lure Grym under the anvil with spiritual weapon (since it levitates above the lava and Grym will target it no matter who the "prime target" is, because it can only get to SW), making the fight much easier while still being safe on the ledge above. Can't imagine doing this fight for 40 minutes, your patience is off the charts. Great video as usual!

[@TheEpicNub]

Cool tip, Bulette is not the strongest Glut summon, it's actually the Phase Spider Matriarch, which you can push down the hole that leads into the Underdark.

[@Fifiiiiii135]

You can in regular but you can't in Honor mode I have tested this out myself it keeps teleporting back up pushing it with thunder wave or even a really f****** strong character it doesn't work I was really sad when I discovered this

Did you know that you can use summons to trigger the dialogue with the Kuo-toa in the Act 1 Underdark? That would've been a fun thing to show off in a run like this! My favourite ones to use are a flaming sphere, find familiar bird, the reanimated corpses of Gut or Dror Ragzlin, and Shovel! If you get enough lucky rolls, any of them can become the Chosen of BOOOAL.

[@jormananormanu]

When I saw Bouch uploaded, I feared the worst.. Thankfully, It was just a compilation of previous videos. I had expected him to upload a video like "Can I beat Baldur's Gate 3 while having Open Heart Surgery?".

[@hossdelgado626]

The surgeon was too much of a coward

[@purplekt1722]

[@hatsuroukigano3794]

Summons unexplored? My first run i ended being all summons with a total of 21 summons, plus my 4 character, shit was fun, nice video really like your videos

[@rygyhs3552]

You can also turn the big boy dark justiciar into your summon via the control undead paladin feature, I was walking around with that boy and brought him up to kethric... Kethric smited him and took 100 force damage in return, it was funny (also you can heal your controlled undeads via aid spamming)

[@iPATT-_-3722]

Just a tip for anyone that wants to complete the glut quest without fighting just take control of glut and jump him off the map you don't get xp from him but quest complete!

[@SecureBirch410]

Just make sure his summon is at the bottom, and keep him and yourself at the top. I normally find this happens anyway, his summon sometimes either allies with you for some reason but if its far enough away it just doesn't join the combat so you don't have to risk it

[@hannahw7023]

I just have him dismiss his summon in the last turn of combat against the duergar. He's much easier to fight alone

[@ericroll]

I'm only 23 minutes into this video and I've already learned half-a-dozen things I never knew. One thing this makes me think of is how much work Larian put into creating this game. Wow, there is A LOT to discover! Thanks for a fantastic video! I'm gonna keep watching now...

[@hythunza1811]

Bouch, I don't mean to alarm you, but you don't have to do the Lorrokan fight. You can just sneak into the door next to his portal room to then sneak into the vault, so you can get the Bestial Communion spell as soon as you enter the Lower City. Also you could've cast Globe of Invulnerability to save all your summons after using a vigilance potion.

[@kingofgrim4761]

You don’t even have to worry about sneaking, i always go to the vault/lower half before fighting him. Worst I got was one -5 attitude on my way back up

[@Boxkar24]

The sussur flowers actually have a purpose in combat?! This is new to me, I had no idea they worked on the constructs!

[@kiku_ki]

i always giggle at how he pronounces "Lorroakan", sounds so epic for some reason.

[@MacCoalieCoalson]

Unless this is patched, there is a way (albeit extremely tedious and annoying, especially on a lonewolf run) to get Glut into Act 2 and even 3 and use his powers to resurrect characters like Sarevok, which is hilarious and broken as hell.

[@boydlawrie]

Can you beat baldurs gate without buying it??!!! Edit: for those who don’t get it, it’s a joke

[@skeetsandyeets]

Could be possible on PlayStation due to the 2 hour trial available on PS Plus premium.

The underdark turned BG3 from a tactical rpg to a Bulette hell.

[@TheNoMoreGamer]

Man, I remember my first run. I didn’t spec at all for summons but they just happened to wind up a big part of my party lol. I remember when the house of hopes bath was infinite. I’d just summon everything and then aid and heroes feast the party. God that was busted fun

[@timothychampion5126]

Love your videos, just btw what I do to cheese the grym forge flight is throw heavy stuff. It does bludgeoning damage which grym is weak to, just load up a chest or two with as much as you can throw. I got up to 100+ damage per throw. Bonus, there's an adimentine chest which is indestructible.

[@diablotry5154]

That takes too long. Enlarged owlbear from the top rope is always the best strat

[@LeoTheDarkAngel]

Yessss, the full movie finally dropped! I love your crazy challenge videos. I'd also like to start a summons-only run myself but I barely managed to finish my last run with a full party because I get so annoyed with a lot of characters to control.

[@jackal242]

11:05 The staff does NOT say it lasts for 10 turns even if we start concentrating on something else. I hate the item descriptions in this game. THat would be a HUGE thing to have known.

[@argus_lunge9026]

Hey so, i had an idea, a challenge even: Can you beat Baldur's Gate 3 if the entire world is covered in the Shadow Curse It most likely needs a custom mod, but it would certainly be a different experience, like how slain enemies come back, and needing to protect yourself and any NPC you'd need from the shadow.

[@0mnifuse623]

Honestly I’d love to see this

[@chipskylark5500]

fantastic idea mate

[@Devisidev]

ong, playing like this as seriously become my ACTUAL favorite build. its SO fun-

[@HomeMadeFanVideos]

Bouch, you otdo yourself with these challenges every time! Thanks for showing just how versatile this game is and how adept you are at using the mechanics!

[@British_Rogue]

10:19 The Phase Spider Matriarch, whilst technically weaker due to being one level lower than the Bulette, is stronger than the Bulette. Can be resurrected by Glut if successfully pushed down the Chasm of Withering Depths.

[@kyrusxi]

You can't push it down in honour mode

[@danielgareth4205]

Unbelievable that you bet honor mode only with summons! Mad respect, simply amazing!

[@carpettoaster]

I played druid on my first ever playthrough and would have myself and gale summon an air myrmidon and have myself transform into one as well, for a total of 5 attacks/turn which was basically guaranteed to stun at least one thing, god those things are so disgustingly overpowered

[@Jureii]

I NEED the full build you had in act 3, I'd love to try a run with this many summons and aid/heroe's feat on top of them. Incredible video !

[@richardhealy]

Same. I just created a conjuration wizard for a summons play through. Now I see, Spores Druid/Necromancer is the way to go.

[@thatguy9088]

This is very awesome, I love summons and pet builds in games. I will have to watch this a few times to see where everything came from. My only personal change would be to do it without changing classes. Personally I like to go 11 Druid/1 Cleric for Sanctuary and Moonbeam Shinigins. That and Spike growth. Trivializes much of the harder fights. My lvl 3 druid solo'd the entire gnoll fight just with moonbeam and sanctuary.

[@ejire4407]

Technically you can just kill Spaw ONLY and Glut will take control of the circle making every single Mushroom your ally ending the combat. But hey EZ XP am I right ?!

[@rat_dragon]

A cool cheat for you to try: Glut doesn't trigger the bibberbang mushrooms so you can save Baelen and/or grab the noblestock just by letting Glut walk freely amongst them...also give the bibberbang to Derryth and she can then stock rare and powerful mushrooms at her shop in Baldur's Gate city

[@veiotisligon9140]

Next run should be can you beat BG3 being a scribe basically a wizard learning there spells via scrolls think it’ll be fun and helpful for me since I’m attempting that run with Gale

When u said u were starting with Wyll, I assumed u were going Pact of the Chain for an Imp familiar, which can go invis like the Quasat, Fly, and has a bite attack that deals a bit of poison. Then u abandoned Warlock entirely...

[@breendart134]

I expected the same thing. More the fool me, lol

[@justsomeeggsinapot1784]

My first time using summons was summon undead in my first avatar of Myrkal fight. I summoned three zombies, who where meant to distract the spammy brains. I learned that zombies turned other stuff into zombies and quickly overwhelmed the non-aoe giant boss.

[@Baked_bean571]

For mystic carrion, if you pick him up before he resurrects, he can't come back. He is very light so it's easy

Can you beat Baldurs Gate 3, except my dad didn't leave to get milk 20 years ago?

[@v3rr]

Hey, this is a fantasy game, not a miracle

[@omnisel]

The way I like to deal with Mystic Carrion is to take all of his body part jars, place them all next to him, and then throw a fireball or flame strike, and all the jars blow up with fire damage and it deals upwards of 50-100 damage, maybe you can even oneshot him I'm not sure. and because you have a cambion and fire elemental, you probably could have made that fight even easier.

[@mayabladewing]

Your vids were already insanely cool and well made before but WOW did this one put into perspective just how bloody powerful you can get. I haven't even finished act 3 yet and now all I can do is think about how insanely it's gonna be to really explore every nook and cranny of this game. Not to mention getting that beating Honor mode achievement

[@Nathan_Moor]

Two questions. 1) Is it possible to beat BG3 Solo without using spells? 2) There are 32 weapon types + unarmed in BG3, can you beat BG3 only using one weapon type per battle (no repeats)? But seriously, love your content.

[@Z3CRUZ4D3R]

That means you're onlly allowed 33 fights ?.. I don't think it'd really be possible but hey, if someone can do it only with underear, I suppose it'd be possible.

[@pyechos]

@@Z3CRUZ4D3Rit's possible, but you would be heavily under level, since you'll have to prioritize important battles and count in the ones that are unavoidable. the best would be to think about the battles that give more xp and do them to gain some lvl, then use the other weapons for the obligated/importants ones

[@Nathan_Moor]

@@pyechos There are also ways to obtain XP without fights or to resolve fights without fighting. I just had the thought come to me and I genuinely don't know if it is impossible or not.

[@bitzenvortex2265]

Also, with the Grym fight, you can use minor illusion to lure him under the hammer and pummel him with it. It's a cantrip so it's better than using spiritual weapon or shooting him for 40 minutes.

[@syvain1821]

11:33 you need to use your spore ally to separate and move ahead of you. he dose not trigger the spores since he is one himself. Then since he cant pick up the bag you need to click+Drag the bag till it reaches him. When he has the bag near him he can save himself and teleport out of there.

[@chipskylark5500]

can do this w mage hand too 😁✌️

[@Isaac-yf5sn]

idk if you knew this, but with the fight with grymforge, you could stand at the top there and just throw down weapons, armor, or items and it deals about 30+ damage each time, plus any additional damage if you have tavern brawler, or the ring and gloves that add a 1d4 to any thrown attacks.

[@daveyhwa]

So at the fight for the grove with one level of Wizard and enough strength you can cast Jump on yourself before combat and jump up to the horn and just keep spamming it to grant all your allies 8 temporary HP every turn. It saves almost everyone about 50% of the time. I don't know if it would work in a Wyll origin run though because you are already missing some one

[@bunno327]

i wanna try a lonewolf, but i feel like i'd get bored without a companion. i might only use one. in divinity, "lonewolf" limits your party to 2, not 1.

[@thenumberseven959]

[@Firestar4041]

Did... not know Volo doesn't operate if your already missing an eye Which I thought he worked on the right eye, so Wyll could trade out his spy-eye for Volo's eye, but i guess that would piss off Mizroa Makes me wonder how Hags eye would work, since she lets you choose the eye she "enhances" (Edit: apparently game says no to double selling your eyes, so no neon green, and invis eye on one character :c)

[@Naxthural]

You can heal Karniss with the Aid spell, long resting and then re-taming and casting him. I did this in one of my runs with partial rests and while tedious, you can theoretically give him a nearly infinite amount of healing.
