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

Summons are very underutilized.
They are an extremely strong part of this game and powerful enough to solo it all by themselves.

wyll ravengard, running about the wilderness casting Hold Person with an army of 100000 ghouls... honestly a serve

[@thisstatementisfalsenothin5312]

If this was what Wyll was like before the game bro was deserving of all that ego

[@cryamistellimek9184]

Now the true test must begin. Summons only with no movement speed. Please don’t do that to yourself.

[@JamesJenkemJingleHeimerSHIT]

Elemental warp… I bet it’s possible

[@gentleseal1778]

you cursed him

[@skep7964]

This sound like fun. Next, try beating baldurs gate 3 without speaking to anyone (introvert run)

[@katsurakotaro]

impossible, you're forced to talk to laezel in the tutorial

[@_apfelpepsi_]

@@katsurakotaro Maybe you can kill her with a second Character before you have to answer her?

[@LeoTheDarkAngel]

that actually sounds like a really funny video idea :D

[@katsurakotaro]

@@_apfelpepsi_ then just have 2 characters the whole run and use the secondary one to do dialogue, not different from any other regular run...

MEWING RUN

[@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

[@TheEpicNub]

@@Fifiiiiii135 wtf that's some bull, I wonder why, maybe her legendary action confuses the game or something.

[@aadityayanamandra8846]

​@@TheEpicNub, nah they specifically made it immune to that

[@vfd10]

you can't push her down in regular mode, even if she's dead

[@bobertastic6541]

@@TheEpicNub’why did they not let me bypass the difficulty in the game mode meant to be more difficult that’s stupid’

[@starfishman1000]

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?".

[@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.

[@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.

[@kydsta]

I do need another distraction until patch 7

[@godessnerd]

Bouch dude i know this comment might get lost but im going through a rough time right now and your videos have been an amazing bright light in my life recently ❤

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@aaronm66961]

bg3 steam refund run incoming? honestly probably one of the easier runs now lol

[@numbah_6]

Proceeds to torrent the game

[@J-Walt]

It’s called Pirating

[@boydlawrie]

Nah without buying it at all!

[@jasonju8147]

This might be one of the most entertaining bg3 video I’ve watched

[@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

[@nickhohl3468]

Uh, so in this video you became a Pokémon trainer?

[@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.

[@panpawe5474]

​@@pyechos it would technically be possible cuz there is someone who beat the game on lvl1

[@uhwyatt7118]

peak video peak game peak channel peak everything

[@rhevoramirez7969]

Very intresting! Thanks

[@jysaitma3724]

More videos please your content is amazing

[@Raenas]

At least slightly less crazy than No Movement Speed. I still cringe even thinking of that one. Great stuff. ^^

[@Monbergdk1]

33:12 I know this song doesn't come from FFXIV, but everytime I hear this song... I see the dance. Anyways... really love your videos, they are amazing!

[@korakys]

Honour mode (with or without saves) is really the only way to play after you've finished this game once already. This game gets easier with every new playthrough.

[@RedDuke42]

Yeah, just *knowing* what's gonna come next is the most OP buff.

[@nothingtoseehere9648]

@@RedDuke42 Experience is power

[@iridescenties]

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

[@Bingbro]

The torment is eternal

[@lucafrix66]

If you can push the spider matriarch into the hole, you can aminate her with Glut. She's pretty damn strong.

[@assketchum5266]

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!

[@isaacsimpson8098]

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

[@thenumberseven959]

Man this build is crazy!

[@Verienn]

one thing that could help would be mirror of loss, more wisdom and Viconias shield for magic resistance

[@gabrieltofvesson8164]

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

[@thegrottyolive5675]

It would be cool if you could put the final build in the description, so we dont have to skim through the video to find all the different items/respecs. Otherwise this is literally peak content

[@pyechos]

okay but now : can you beat baldur's gate 3 while heavily encumbered, only level one, with bare hands ?

[@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

[@Zokay14]

You can use minor illusion for the grym fight btw

[@sunbleachedangel]

Sure, I'll watch it again

[@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.

[@jakehamilton4053]

Due to my slower play style when it comes to these fights. I prefer the water Myrmidon for the healing vapors

[@shmackschmack6589]

guess i gotta rewatch it ;)

[@vfd10]

can you beat baldur's gate as a normal guy, maximum 6 in one stat, 5 in 2, etc., no tool or weapon proficiencies you dont personally have, no magic (just a normal guy)

[@neverfly5650]

You do know that the mushroom colony fight ends early when you kill their leader?

[@Reikaenkami]

Phalar Aluve shriek would be real good with this many bodies

[@FinlayDaG33k]

Shadowheart Fireball only run.

[@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.

[@rasrandir]

Actually, afaik you don't have to fight bulette when turning against glutt. Only glutt himself :)

[@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 ?!

[@kharitonov4088]

bro this is crazy now do it blindfolded and you need to do a backflip before every imput

[@OriginalKanyeTPain]

i screamed yes wihtout even watching as this is how i beat it when i played

[@asasloth5741]

Bro brought along the whole gang

[@KingofJ95]

Hmm, yeah, I may have watched the whole series already... but have I second watched it?

[@minotaur818]

Melee only run. Absolutely no ranged projectiles, spells, abilities from either yourself or summons for both combat or outside of combat.

[@1lomi901]

Wait up wait up wait up ... This is a repost right ? Or a compilation of all 3 acts into one ?

[@dolphinixus]

I wonder if it's possible to finish the game without talking to a single character? Excluding the scripted ones of course, like Lae'zel's introduction at the Nautiloid.

[@Gam3rFox500]

Bg3 without long or shortrests woulde be a intresting challenge

[@anastasiiabezugla7600]

Fracture did that

[@anya33333]

I don't get why people keep trying to "cheese" the Grym fight when the game has a simple way to insta-kill it by luring it in the middle of the forge and activating it.

[@NukEverything]

mage hand can throw weapons as well

[@devultra1125]

Next: Can you beat Baldurs Gate only using your starter gear?

[@thecunttreeside5322]

by gear do you mean like equipment or do you also mean potions, elixirs etc... bc if ur just talking abt equipment morgana evelyn did it recently with four monks
