Can You Beat Baldur's Gate 3 in a SINGLE Hit? Act 3 - The Finale

It has been finished. Got a bit more annoying towards the end but all in all I'd say that this definitely is doable by everyone, so why not go give it a go yourself :D

[@PoliticRevolutionnaire]

I think dividing the content by act is a nice way to divide the videos and allows us to receive more regular content which is always nice so I'd prefer you continue in this format. Looking forward to seeing what you try with honor mode. Doing something simple like giving all enemies an extra action and higher HP would certainly make for a challenge but it might require a lot of restarts depending how you play it

[@tylercorrell8643]

just binged this little series, great job man

[@yulu5827]

I wonder why during the Nightsong V Lorrokan Fight Rolan didn't swap sides, because I know that's able to happen cause I did it, but I completely forget how you're suppose to do it. I just remeber him realizing Lorrokan is absolutly fucking insane.

[@delitaheiral9184]

You should convince Roland to stay and fight in druid grove

[@jj2621]

I’m pretty certain you have to convince rolan to stay anyway to see ANY outcome of the story at all cause he just fucking dies on his way to lorroakan lmao. but if i had to guess i’d say to just leave his siblings in moonrise

[@Cerg1998]

Just tell him that nightsong is an actual sentient being snd he'll side with you

[@Jas7520]

Rolan will only side with you against Lorroakan if Cal and Lia survive, and we saw them die in the Act 2 video

[@Butterfliesandzebras]

Honour mode NAKED SALAMI ONLY playthrough

[@waterstarter3106]

pure warlock honor mode solo could be pretty cool. alot of people sleep on pure warlock for good reason

[@sutrax3361]

I just found youre Videos and i gotta say that shit is entertaining as hell keep it up my guy

[@bounce1082]

Honor mode, but only bonus actions

[@BountyOben]

Honour mode shovel as a melee weapon only

[@codymarshall587]

Didn’t your level in wizard at level 12 mean all of your spells were intelligence based after that and thus your charisma no longer mattered?

[@GSol1]

How about a no magic run for honor for mode. No magical equipment or spells allowed. If an item is a +1 or has a magical effect, it can not be used. This will not be a solo run however

[@Fenric859]

A guy named sleeping dog did a solo no gear honor run

[@psmmajus]

The Raphael hit had to have done between 2880 damage and 3250-ish Jeezums

[@anothertiefling]

Time for dice math with Raphael! -180 instances of 4 damage, each of which procs Psionic Overload and Lightning Charge -Psionic Overload does 1d4 (avg 2.5) doubled bc its a crit -LCs do a flat 1 lightning damage -Mace itself does 1d8+1 (avg 5.5) boosted to 2d8+1 (avg 10) bc its a crit -*2 bc hes vulnerable to everything (Perilous stakes) leaving us with the lovely equation of 2(180(4+5+1)+10+5+1) simplified to 2(180(10)+16) or even more simply, 3,632 points of get fucked stupid idiot damage. (note: due to the sheer number of dice being rolled it is completely impractical to even bother looking at individual damage numbers. Once you're rolling a large enough number of dice, things tend to stick very close to the mean to where it's good practice when using physical dice in an irl dnd game to simply not roll anything requiring more than like 10 die unless you really want to waste like 30 minutes counting d6s)

[@waxocelot9395]

I'm adding the phrase "get fucked stupid idiot damage" because that is beautiful

[@PeopleAcct707]

This has been a great series, love these kinds of challenges! As for the future, I think keeping each act separate is a good play. Another BG3 challenge KZbinr, Fracture, did a "beat the game at level 1" challenge that they uploaded in 3 parts by act, but at the end uploaded a "movie length" version of all 3 videos together, I think that's a great way of doing it if you want a longer video option for a complete run. Looking forward to what's next, Merry Christmas!

[@IliumGaming]

7:28 You don’t need to pickpocket Helsik to open the gate. All of the ingredients you need are upstairs around the room with the portal. The incense is just sitting on a table and doesn’t show up in the item view, only one that isn’t obvious and easily found. Skull is in the coffin. The rest are just in locked chests and such and you can take your time/dont need a pickpocketing character. 10:32 you can get a permanent +3 to Charisma - the +1 and the +2 are independent events and you can get them both with the right rolls. Wiki has more info but it’s the only way to reach 24 CHA which is the best possible casting stat in the game.

[@theroboticpotato]

I fully believe that wisdom is the better casting stat because basically nothing has high wisdom in 5e/bg3

[@Barely_Edited]

You can reach 24cha without the +1 from the mirror of loss. 17, ASI, half-ASI (through feat or splitting it with something else), Birthright from sorcerous sundries to 22, and mirror of loss to go from 22 to 24 The +1 might be more efficient, letting you take a feat like Alert or res:Con or spell sniper without needing to take another +1 for cha thouh

[@mel-burnes]

@@theroboticpotato not sure what you mean since every casting stat works the same for the purposes of having your enemies fail their saves

[@theroboticpotato]

@mel-burnes to explain if you look in the monster manual you'll find that the most common dump stat for monsters is wisdom, which makes it (technically) the best casting stat , it also dosent help that the 2 caster classes that use it are STUPIDLY OP

[@mel-burnes]

@@theroboticpotato once again, im not getting how casting from wis is better than casting from any other stat. now sure you could make an argument that having high wis is good because most mental saves you're required to make target wisdom, but the specific type of your casting stat doesn't affect the dcs. 8+PB+Mod is the same whether you're casting from Wis and targeting Wis or you're casting from Int and targeting Cha.

[@Devinzawizard]

Solo Honour Mode Pacifist would be dope! Merry christmas too! (Incredible work btw)

[@pizzaboimanager561]

Amazing idea

[@point-five-oh6249]

So what would be the stipulations behind it? Are summons allowed? Are other companions allowed? There are instances in the game where fighting is basically guaranteed to progress the story. If it were TRUE pacifist lone wolf, then you'd be long dead before the game even started.

[@zanuka7487]

I finally finished the game and could watch this vid. Splitting your challenges per act with 3 videos is better for youtube recommandations and you deserve to grow

[@-carter-8681]

This was such a well put together series. I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel!

[@Sleeman0980]

I love the presentation of these videos, going act by act keeps the videos a nice length and has a good separation/stopping point between videos. These have been incredibly well done and I hope to see more. Merry Christmas to you too!

[@EvilMyself]

This was great, dont really have any suggestions but this series was amazing! I love how you did a lot of optional content you didnt really need to do just because, made it really feel like a real playtrough. One question tho: Why didnt you kill Ansur? Is it due to him being immune to lightning and such impossible to one-shot with your build?

[@FrostyFyre]

I had the same question about Ansur actually 😂

[@1SaG]

Ah, yes... the happy times when you could use Perilous Stakes on enemies as a de-buff. I haven't even unlocked that power on anyone in my current play-through. I beelined to Ability Drain instead, but I sure miss the ability to make bosses vulnerable to everything.

[@pognava]

I had no idea there was a backdoor to hopes prison, no matter how much you play this game there's always something you miss!

[@O_RLY]

For your honor mode run, try a pokemon trainer run. All damage must be dealt by summons/pets. No damage must come from items, environment, etc. Your characters may not target enemies with any spells, only your own pets/summons. You may still throw items at any target.

[@Oaken_Buckets]

definitely a video for each act, makes it nice and digestible

[@matthijskuijpers1378]

Doing a solo playthrough in honour mode is absolutely insane, look how many times you died without getting a single turn. Of course you can always have a party member alive in camp, but assuming you bring the party along in honour mode: I think a solid team member in honour mode is a healer build. Easily set up in early game act 1. - 1 level paladin, oath of ancients & 2 levels in cleric life domain. Both AoE heals reset on a short rest. - Gauntlets from zevlor (reward or pickpocketed) grant blade ward to all allies healed. - Boots from grat the trader grants 3 temporary hit points to all allies healed. - Ring from volo grants blessing to allies healed, removing the need to concentrate on it. - Ring from omeluum in underdark (after getting quest items from arcane tower) heals targets for 2 more on every heal - Helm reward from saving the tiefling refugees restores 1-6 hit points to the caster when healing another creature, works really good with warding bond to sustain the punishment you share to yourself. Also works with lay on hands when choosing lesser healing for 1 charge twice over greater healing for 2 charges. Further ahead we got - Talisman from esther at the rosymorn trail makes it so your healing spells always heal for maximum and your healer gets back up automatically if it got downed. Also has heavy armor proficiency so you can craft the heavy adamantine armor to compliment warding bond.

[@josiah6969]

For some reason when my friends and I did the Oryn fight in our multiplayer run my rogue assassin was able to completely bypass her unstoppable effects whilst critical hitting (I had many buffs to my crit range) so it seems like for some reason for her specifically crits ignore unstoppable.

[@denverthekid]

Honor mode but if your familiar dies you die

[@ASUS234UA]

Free spell is broken from the release. Even through the fight, u can just unequip something (like clothes) and cast anything, even monk open hand abilities, for example. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with paladins smites.

[@LamiiBunny]

I think 1 video per act is the perfect size for content like this. Helps to keep it easily digestible. As for an honour mode challenge, you could attempt a Jack of All Trades solo run? The Jack of All Trades is an achievement you get from successfully multi classing into every class on the same character without respecs

[@ElysetheEevee]

That sounds kind of fun, actually. Like it'd have to be on his main character.

[@billalh7180]

I loved this series and i also love hearing Persona songs. Keep it up man

[@cmdrray7210]

honor mode challenge, Only Summoned creatures (none characters) can deal damage, might be impossible based on the final bosses legendary action but i think that would be a nice change for a challenge run.

[@Vlaax_]

this has been such an interesting series, i genuinely loved every single part of it, the editing is on point, never lost my interest in watching it in the slightest, also learned something new that i probably wouldn't have done at all in my playthroughs, and you just made me wanna try this for myself. Not to mention i've also learned how to synergize things a lot more and you made me look into even more ways to synergize spells to increase my damage. Amazing videos man, keep it up, you're very underrated and very entertaining!

[@peepy5292]

For Seravok, I told him I would do the ritual then his servants would leave meaning he would fight without those buffs

[@kylerbouska2185]

love the videos i would love to see you beat the game using salami

[@illbean1337]

6:27 There's another staff I would consider to be better. The staff you get from killing the Mummy Lord. It's a bit bugged atm since it doesn't drain its charges as it should. But if you kill an enemy with a spell. you can then cast a necromancy spell at any level without expending a spellslot. You can do this as many times as you'd like without resting. The bug is simply that the charges don't get consumed so if you don't 1hit you'll be spending charges.

[@ItsImmaturity]

Loved it! I would absolutely watch your video idea and I think the 3 act video structure works! The only reason I could think of to do it all in one video is if the act structure made the videos really short

[@alexanderpopp4596]

Coming to the party a few months late, but it would be really cool to see the final build breakdown at the end of these videos! Really cool stuff. Keep up the good work.

[@TheSattanik025]

Amazing man ! I really appreciate how you explain all the stuffs and spells ;) So I have a challenge for U: beating the game using a wizard dry off his magic so he can only uses parchments ? Force à toi ✊🏻

[@dunkamonk]

Could you please do a build breakdown and leveling guide for this?

[@Nyx-Knacks]

Been waiting for this! Banger content, will return for whatever you do next

[@datweirdguy9608]

nah cuz your act 1 of this got recommended to me only earlier this day and then i watched part 2 and then you release act 3 on the same say i found this!?!? legendary timing, also these videos are way too good for only 6k subs

[@Dreamy3spresso]

Literally started watching this series today and was like crap now I have to wait for Act 3 but guess who posted 9 minutes ago

[@nekomiaou]

Accepting Raphael's deal to get the hammer then go to his home to tear the contract appart... I didn't even think of that. The number of way you can navigate a situation in this game is just crazy, definitly deserve his GOTY. Wow, this figth with Sarevok seem difficult. I didn't do that, I attacked him and his crew when the tried to convinced me to sacrifice an innocent elephant.

[@I_love_Elden_Ring]

The elephant deserves it, trust me just do his questline.

[@nekomiaou]

@@I_love_Elden_Ring From what I saw before the scene, the elephant is a bad cop, certainly one who don't want to get to involve, but not a crooked one whoo deserve to die. I couldn't continue to play evil at that point, hence why me and my partie attacked Sarevok (and the figth was much easier). I freed the elphant, and kept all is gear to be able to give it back latter, but i never ran in him again after that. There was a questline that I missed ? I looked for it, tho, too bad...

[@I_love_Elden_Ring]

@@nekomiaou i saved him in my first playthtough too. I didn't know the crimes he commited back in '99

[@nekomiaou]

@@I_love_Elden_Ring In the first or second game ? I played thoses, but it was more than 20 years ago, so I don't remember him at all. Was he a bad guy ?

[@staticless]

you could do a single class only team for honor mode, would be interesting

[@cat-ara5249]

> shows up > one-shots your archduke nominee > refuses to elaborate > leaves

[@Riinkz]

I really like the videos separated in acts. That gives each act enough screen to fill a full video, while also making you able, to put out videos faster/more often.

[@TheScrunge]

Loved all 3 parts! You are going to have a great career here in no time at this rate! I look forward to the Honor Mode run for sure! I think a "Jack of all trades" run for it would be awesome to see. It would allow you to use party members (but solo would make it the challenge that you want) and with the insane amount of utilities you get from all classes at Level 1, it would make some great content to see how you handle each situation.

[@sullychow4123]

That hit on Raphael was amazing, great planning and trick.

[@haidenallen5346]

Honor mode in one hit or honor mode without companions would be interesting

[@hahayes2371]

How long did this take...

[@loglog7]

Awesome stuff, very entertaining

[@bashbach1927]

Honor mode but only using Salami. All you can eat for rest is salami, all you can use as a weapon in salami, the only money you can make is buy selling salami.

[@birphon]

Maybe you can roll a load of off meta builds? Like we all know the Gloomstalker Ranger, the Paladin and such. Would love to see some dumb shit like an Alchemist Character who also has the Tavern Brawler Feat and so you throw potions around as your damage since you will get (or should i say, should get) the initial bludgeon from the item dropping and then the potion breaking and spewing out to damage. I don't see many people take up Alchemy, granted its somewhat lack luster as like many games an auto loot feature is needed for random wild herb pickings - thankfully modders exist

[@thelvadem5713]

10:37 "Now it's time for the second of the shardbearers" Someone was playing some Elden Ring I see 👀

[@antoniod7049]

I Know could sounds crazy but i just count the damage done to Raphael ,i have done it slowing the video at 0.25 and adding manually on calculactor so i'm not precise but i think you have done somenthing between 5k-6k damage GG !

[@piotrpiwowarczyk4826]

18:54 I believe that critical hits bypass Unstoppable charges, because when I was doing that fight as sneaky archer first shot in every turn (guaranted crit because sneak attack) was unaffected by Unstoppable, but followup shot was always only 1 damage.

[@EnboricWitch]

thank you for the great videos! My vote is to keep act separate!

[@gillesdejong8863]

Orin has evasion from being a thief if I remember correctly. And unstoppable is bugged with evasion. So every first attack per round deals (half) normal damage. It is the only way I won during my fight with her :(

[@ispeakfacts8842]

Dude, how in the fuck do people just know how to use spells, multi class, pair armor, use buffs, AND plan ahead?? I straight up didn't use any buffs my first run because I dead ass forgot they existed. I tip my sleep deprived hat to you as you are simply smarter than me and its something i have to simply accept.

[@Leo-bj7if]

After watching videos of people coasting through BG3 I clearly did not know what I was doing during my playthrough.

[@marcindathefierce]

How could you kill my man Rolan like that 😂 He always sides with me against Lorroakan, because his master abused him. If you have no prior interactions with him does he actually side with Lorroakan? Or was he a side casualty

[@michellamoureuxm]

Late comment, but I wonder if Ornns stacks require concentration to be active, and since her last ally was under hold person, they couldn't concentrate on the ritual. So the stacks would still show, but be ineffective.

[@zockenundso1074]

What about a honor run, but all your decisions are made per spinwheel. Dialoge options, class, race, the looks of the character. Did this for one run at balanced, was pretty fun. Just imagine standing before Vlaakith and it ruins the whole run, by choosing to talk shit on her.

[@AmeLem]

i think making 2 videos containing 1,5 acts is more appealing to the viewer than a video per act, especially with stuff where you don't really need to show minor encounters (unlike here)

[@pocho928]

19:00 Her unstoppable charges seem to be weird, I killed her on my playthrough without stopping the ritual by simply hitting crits nonstop with Astarion, even got an achievement for it

[@user-bi1fw8sd1x]

In my orin fight, somehow, my asterion sneaky shot bypassed unstoppable charges too.

[@curtishaley3606]

Honor MOde, Improvised weaopns only playthrough.

[@-haven]

3:22 the amulet of the devout gives you a +2 to Spell Save DC, not to Spell Saves. it doesnt make you more likely to save, it makes your enemies less likely to save. its offensive, not defensive

[@VenomGamingCenter]

*insert Actually meme*

[@joe-gq9oo]

what a gigachad. "honour mode too easy. will do solo and heavily encumbered". don't kill shart tho she's bae

[@canadian__ninja]

Hopefully you find another idea because being permanently heavily encumbered sounds like a chore to play and edit.

[@Eeememem]

I Think its cool you have it separated by cast but maybe Also make a combilation video of all 3 so you Can Watch it one go!

[@zer00rdie]

Multiple numbers now means only one hit? Okay.....

[@mikes2037]

No you cant beat baldurs gate in a single hit. You can one shot every opponent. But thats been done a million times and you need some clickbait.

[@RushPL1]

You still died a lot and reloaded ... I think the equal solo Honour mode run would actually be challenging.

[@leapinglizards4127]

You could do a lone wolf summoner run witch means you can't attack anyone only your summons can

[@PixiePulse_]

Lonewolf Necromancer would be fun, there's so many cool necromancer items/spells in this game actually

[@VenomGamingCenter]

*Which

[@wulfheart101]

What's this techno remix of Demon Souls theme at the beginning? Lol

[@PhDrKoci]

Would you do some video about this built ? I'd like to try it in m next honour mode playthrough

[@Miju_YT]

Great series! I find it so amusing, that you oneshottet the final boss with a spell, that most people say is one of the worst in the game xD

[@youngpast0228]

What was the build used for this again? I'ma go back to episode 1 lol

[@mr.pokemon1695]

Idea: honor mode, but you can’t kill anything, non lethal damage not allowed

[@robertbowden8573]

Great series, I'm interested to know how long it took to work out all the damage calculations

[@ANGELSARTILLARY]

These videos are awesome but the persona music in the back is the best part lol

[@fateisme]

How about honor mode durge serial killer who can only kill in secret

[@BananaEmTi]

do a honour mode, and go with a party that just buff and debuffs the enemies

[@burritoinspace.]

For me Aylin didnt stay in the fight, after the conversation with Lorroakan, shebjust vanished. I restarted the fight countless times and no show. Does anyone know what I did wrong?

[@bounce1082]

Honor mode, but you can only use psychic damage

[@neojb1989]

i recently fought Orin and found her acting the same way. The first hit in a turn you do to her hits for full damage, then the unstoppable charges kick in. Wasn't like this in previous patches so I wonder if it's intentional to have an easier time with just her?

[@BowserBurckhardt-qw5zc]

Can you play bg3 through as displacer beast

[@joeannking9432]

I think the most damage you did was at least above 10 damage

[@mikes2037]

17:08 cast lightning bolt but no damage. So you have to hit again?

[@teytreet7358]

Twist of Fortune consumes all your money now btw.

[@flyaway7437]
