Can You Beat Baldur's Gate 3 in a SINGLE Hit? FULL GAME

Since some people wanted me to put out one of these "movie" type videos here it is.
Why beat the game normally when you can just shoot everyone to death with lightning immediately.

Sorry for not posting anything recently. Been caught up in some stuff and felt like I needed a break from Baldur's Gate. Enjoy this lazy, "movie" type video in the meantime. Thanks for watching :)

[@scrotumravager4555]

youre totally chill big homie

[@Dinongurra]

fine cus atleast u actually do entainting content

[@adamhainsworth1475]

There is a mod which adds honour mode difficulty to tactician so you wont get a heart attack if you are about to get killed

[@tooth2887]

don't apologize, just take care of yourself. if you force yourself to do something because of other people you just grow to resent both those people and the thing. for content creators it's especially bad since y'all would start hating people who love you and a video game you used to have fun with. plus whatever your caught up in, just hope it's nothing bad and your doing good. thanks for posting these videos and have a great.. whatever time of day/night it is for you!

[@mpajonk]

have you tried getting a mic?

EBF5 type comment

[@JasonBrose-gv6po]

The fact that you one shot a devil who has done nothing but selfishly take the entire game by giving him your life savings is just poetic.

[@maxforge4333]

the fact that the gold does not get consumed is just odd

[@offi5670]

Up next how they solo honor mode the entire game while using only the poo scraper from the blighted village

[@l2catalyn]

There is a video that was uploaded 3 days ago that does that xD By BrilliantStupidity and its pretty fun! (ofc not solo, i think its impossible)

[@BMJgunner]

​@@l2catalyn with enough will power and divine smite. Anything is possible

There are few things fully impossible in this game

Make an Eldritch throwzerker, chuck the poo scraper repeatedly. Results(?)

[@spynix0718]

You can actually get +3 Charisma from the Mirror to a max of 24. You need to get another buff called "Patriar's memory." You get a free +1.

[@amishtechwizard5540]

26 maximum. ASI to 20, Ethel Hair, Birthright and the full +3 from the mirror.

[@GD0nly]

Just as a note for the spectator fight, you can create an elixir of viliglance from the sublimate of 3 hook horror hooks and any ashes of an ingredient, so you can basically gain the alert feat for free, as you need it

[@Hekk.]

Or just attack one of the petrified drow from distance to trigger the eyeball

[@Jarlbreadlick]

You can also cast darkness or use an arrow of darkness and it won't start combat

[@durkle1120]

If you shoot one of the statues from where phalar alouve is, it spawns the spectator and gets rid of the suprise round

[@caneletto6181]

for the halsin fight, you can place the darkness spell right on the portal to prevent ranged attacks

[@gandhichoron1365]

or cast ice storm and watch the undead slip until countdown

[@VannMunson]

Welp thanks I'm never losing that fight ever.

[@Kelleeart]

I tried to do that and it wouldn't let me. Invalid target it says (or something to that effect.)

[@OclaxianEmpire]

@@KelleeartYou gotta put it a little ahead of the portal, so the front of it gets covered, not directly on top of the portal.

[@theoneandonlyflexo]

It never makes sense to make your stats 15/17 in your two primary stats unless you are planning on taking half feats or getting +1 in the stats through items. You can get the benefit of the +3 to constitution immediately and still bump up Charisma to 18 with a single ASI, so you don't lose out on the 16/18 if you were planning on bumping up the 15/17 with an ASI.

[@djstiles2001]

How

[@richardmcilwain7125]

​​​@@djstiles2001 You only get additional bonus to checks and saves on even numbers above 10. So 12 & 13 give the same +1 bonus, for example. Going to 14, however, gives a +2 bonus.

[@tedstudt8550]

​@djstiles2001 take one out of cha and put it into con, that's 16 con and 16 cha. Your cha mod isn't affected by this, because the modifier calculation is (x-10)/2 rounded down. So if you have an 11 in let's say strength, it is functionally the same as a 10. (11-10)=1, divided by 2 that's 1/2, round down that's zero. Take an ASI at level 4 for +2 to charisma.

[@Hekk.]

Auntie's boon (+1 any stat), Mirror of loss (+1 cha & +2 any stat) & Blood Potion (+2 str) induce quite a bit of metagaming into character building - I always start with 17 in my main stat and bump it to 18 with Auntie's Boon. Otherwise, 15/17 doesn't make sense indeed.

[@JohnSmith-rr3jt]

Well this is just completely wrong... you definitely don't know what you are talking about lol.

[@Samppa1203]

One thing about the mirror of loss: it's guaranteed to give +2 of a stat. However there is 1 specific line of dialogue that gives +1 charisma. It's called "patriar's memory" and the first line of dialogue says something about regret. The chance to get it is way higher before you succeed the religion check

[@snakeman830]

I could be mistaken, but you can actually control which one you get based on how high the stat is you choose to sacrifice. I always get to choose what I get if I sacrifice a stat that is 12-14.

[@adrianavelasquez6081]

Thank you so much for making this. Me and my husband can't get enough of all your videos.

[@dreamerofthorns]

Couples watching youtube co tent together is the best, most wholesome thing in the world

[@MessaTee]

59:00 Umm... basically if you deal 14 piercing + 14 psychic + 1 lightning damage, that would be a total of 29 damage per 300 gold. Raphael had 54 000 gold in his inventory when you hit him, which equals to 54 000 / 300 = 180 instances of damage. Which means that with that one attack, you dealt a grand total of 180 * 29 = 5 220 damage. There is literally no character that can tank that in the entire game

[@sweatsJR]

And you can get even more dmg than that too 😂

[@thearcheovistofsolkeeperof6326]

And i thought i did good with 30 dmg in one turn Wtf???

[@tiagopaiva379]

[@DanielEdwards42]

This is super cool. Loads of interesting tech and a bunch of stuff that I somehow still didn't know was in the game - great video!

[@Lord_Malkior]

33:18 Thisobolde (big sketchy bartender) is definitely Ketheric's son. (So Isobel's brother) Gerringthe (gold lady) and Malus (Silent Hill nurse teacher) are Ketheric's siblings if I recall from reading notes in my last playthrough... don't quote me on those last two though. Anyways. Great video and very clean editing. ❤

[@ksmr2329]

Malus is actually his uncle (he refers to Ketheric as his nephew in one of his notes), idk about Gerringothe either honestly

[@UMCorian]

Q. How can you possibly do this? A. 100 situps. 100 pushups. 100 Squats. A 10 km run. Every day. With proper technique.

[@danroe3310]

[@miguelrivera-torres8798]

Bro big props to you I just recently discovered your videos and the amount of hours you’ve spent of bg3 and making these video is insane, you’ve definitely gotten a subscriber from me can’t wait too see more from you!!

[@mattisvincke5015]

I just had an idea: Can you beat baldurs gate by just plain bullying people, basicly only using vicious mockery and shoving people. Just insult them to death lmao. You could find creative ways to bully as well rather than just insulting them, by the way you are my favourite BG3 youtuber!

[@11tw48]

Malus is his uncle. He refers to Ketheric as "nephew" in a letter. Gerringothe has an unknown relation to him, but presumably was an ancestor (any female relation) taken from the tombs. Thisobald calls him "father", which would presumably make him the son, however he's not ever mentioned in any record as K's son, nor do K or Isobel ever speak of him. He may call Ketheric "father" because he is his creator (having assembled his four-legged body).

[@robf5230]

You are an absolute madman. I love seeing how far people can bend this amazing game.

[@Harry-lc1nz]

28:20 there is actually a way to not get surprised here :D stay in the selunite outpost and walk a bit further back from the door, then, throw any object at one of the paralysed drow and hide. it’ll start the cutscene but when you get out of it, the spectator won’t know you’re there and will just wander around aimlessly.

[@theenbee8222]

The more and more videos you make, the more bingeable this content becomes; I'm excited for this channel's future :3

[@Hazel-xl8in]

fun little detail about the devil’s fee! if you sneak upstairs first, you can actually find all the ingredients you need for the portal just lying around her rooms. no pickpocketing necessary!

[@TheNumber35]

Nice run! One note on the spectator, you can actually avoid being surprised by it if you plan a little bit. So if you attack any of the stone drow, the Spectator spawns in and "surprises" you. So if you were to hide up in the window, shoot an arrow/cantrip at the drow, and back into the building after you lose the "surprise" condition (since you're hidden it doesn't start your encounter but still surprises you) you can do the typical shenanigans

[@transitive6261]

Every time I watch one of ur videos I always see something new in the game that I some how missed. Guess I gotta go at it again

[@Pure_Linnsanity]

I just finished a 10 sorc / 2 cleric run with a similar build, but I had no idea a wizard level would let me learn chain lightning, that's awesome! Will definitely have to keep that in mind for future runs. ^^

[@ZoeBateman]

I wonder if this is still possible considering how they changed perilous stakes to only be usable on allies, removing the really interesting risk-reward mechanic it used to be and changing it into something completely useless

[@JPG.01]

As far as I know they changed that only in honour mode. The other difficultys should be unaffected by the change. But to cast it on enemies they have to fail a WIS saving throw.

[@ZoeBateman]

@@JPG.01 I’ve been playing exclusively balanced mode after I did an honour run and it’s changed in balanced for me. For some reason I’m also getting legendary actions on balanced from certain enemies like the owlbear and the gith inquisitor so maybe my game is just bugged idk

[@F1shyBab1shy]

I can use it on Grym, so I think your game is just bugged

[@SkyrimVictor]

In hm you can only use it on allies

[@F1shyBab1shy]

Just a to for future runs, you can lockpick the door to Balthazar in the gauntlet of shar and have him join the fight with the umbral tremors

[@MARUSHI-YT]

i'm not kidding when i say i was able to finish my laundry while i afk'ed in that fight lmao

[@galliumgames3962]

Challenge idea: Beat Baldur’s Gate with an ability score of 1 in all six stats (strength, dexterity, etc).

[@sirkelendor5429]

-5 to all checks, plus including stat requirements, that is one hell of a challenge run

[@johanjuhlin3336]

in the fight outside of baltazars chambers, you can use the spell knock to open baltazars door and make him, and his minions, fight for you

[@dbirchlaw]

The Thorm family tree is as follows (all relationships are to Ketheric): Ketheric Melodia- Wife Isobel- Daughter of Ketheric and Melodia Thosbald- Son (but not Melodia's son) Malus- Uncle (or possibly brother) Gerringothe- Unknown, but probably an undead ancestor, not a direct relative

[@cyberceel]

I love this channel

[@jerome3138]

I’m doing this challenge, and on the dark urge if you get that cloak that turns you invisible, it really adds another layer to the combat, so far this build has been a ton of fun to use

[@faemewmi]

u can get the gnoll leader to kill herself (she will first have to kill the 2 guys in the cave and the surrounding gnolls), but it avoids fighting her.

[@Malcivious]

28:13 I just discovered on my new Honor Mode run that, if you stand back (off to the left on your screen where the stone drow is by a crystal and torchstalk) and throw a Basilisk Oil onto Dhourn. It will free him and cause the Spectator to attack him without starting combat for you. At that point you're free to engage as you want. I may have had turn based mode on, I don't recall. There's at least two Basilisk Oil in Act I. And one of them is available in the dungeon with the Nercromancy book.

[@smokescreen100]

Oh wow, I thought you would have way more subs than 30k. Very high quality for that size

[@ryoups]

god job ! that was fun

[@DanielBrinkmann1996]

I know I am late to the party but: Malus Thorm is Ketheric's uncle. Thisobald's and Gerringothe's relationship towards Ketheric isn't clear, the most common theory is that they're just some "random" relatives that Balthazar resurrected when defiling the Thorm crypt to ressurect Isobel.

[@tungsteno8725]

Of course, gravity is still the best weapon

[@em_the_android]

For the spectator fight I usually throw basilisk oil at one of the drows from far enough away so the fight starts and after the drow is dead I sneak up on the spectator.

[@ethanwagner4355]

Hi, im currently doing a storm sorc build like this, when i use witch bolt, i only get the pop up with Destructive wrath, not both Destructive wrath and Luck of far realms. On the video you can do both? have they changed this type of interaction since?

[@caddenratcliff3734]

I don't know if you will see this, but i just got to the spectator part in act 1 under dark and if you go on to the far ledge away from the spectator near the outpost you can attack a basilisk statue with ranged and spawn in the spectator without entering combat. YOU WILL still get surprised but aslong as your sneaking you will not enter combat.

[@princesssuperpeach4338]

I need to try this

[@panpawe5474]

[@thedoomslayer5863]

when i try to just fly to the end it just insta kills me

[@InvaderTroy]

28:32 if you go over to where you can grab phalar aluve it’s possible to start the spectator fight without being surprised, since they can’t reach you combat ends immediately and you can re-approach and start combat normally Instead of Birthright it’s better to pick up the hood of the weave from mystic carrion. +2 CHA only grants you +1 to spell attack and saves whereas the hood grants you +2 or effectively +4 CHA.

[@spynix0718]

He can still get 24 charisma without Birthright, too. He just can't use a shield. 17 Charisma + 1 Hag's hair + 1 Patriar's Memory + 2 Mirror + 4 ASIs. He went with dual wielding, so he missed an ASI, but if he didn't, he could get 24 Charisma without Birthright.

[@lineargreen]

[@lordfireguy1999]

As a little thing for the Halsin fight, if you put up darkness around the portal, no archers can attack it. Sort of a choice if you want to fight ranges or melee, but still.

[@themagikarp9676]

You can one shot 2 of the mind flayers creature (after the ship crashed) if you sneak on right side and cast a fire spell on the Alien explosive thing when 2 creatures are close to it. It'd put "surprised" on the last 3, and it's an easy kill.

So I completely understand why everyone uses fall damage as a crutch. Its far too broken for most anyone to ignore and trivializes encounters...unless they are immune or there aren't any ledges. I, however, cannot abide by this. Thats money that people are throwing off cliffs into bottomless chasms. Every time I see someone get launched, I'm thinking to myself: "How much money did they have on them" "What kind of gear did they have?" Bouch already pointed out how killing the goblin leaders via bottomless pit made the worms they had on them unobtainable so did he have to give up by the end of the game?
