Can You Beat Baldur's Gate 3 Using Only Gifts & Rewards?

[@nathanpfirman625]

I love the idea of a man who just throws housecats to attack.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Basically Minsc lol he can throw Boo for damage. The hamster throwing OG

[@letsplaysvonaja1714]

go for the eyes, cat

[@idonthavegoodororiginalnam4931]

just a normal day in florida

[@MajorTanya]

The real gifts were Proxy Gate Tactician videos all along ❤

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Thanks! Appreciate it. Can't believe I started this channel a year ago already

[@Mr_cat-d8c]

True

[@FengNirothar]

Love the detail of having Withers throw The Unluckiest Man Alive out of the Epilogue party, perfect ending to a very fun video

[@ProxyGateTactician]

In my head he got thrown to another timeline to re-live his unlucky hell.

[@ttmcoffee6806]

I'm not sure if you did get it because I didn't catch it in the video, but if you talk to Stonemason Kith in the Grymforge and pass all three dialogue checks (Perception, History and Investigation) he will give you an Infernal Alloy, which you can later trade with Dammon in Last Light Inn via dialogue for a Flawed Helldusk Helmet. Both of these are obtained via dialogue, no looting or trading

[@ProxyGateTactician]

totally missed it. That would have been so good because almost no one gave me anyt armor lol. good to know that's clever.

[@ValbrandrLeonhardt]

Is that specific version of the infernal alloy actually able to be used multiple times? Like as long as you don't exit the conversation, you can repeatedly choose the option and get the other 2 pieces of the armor.

[@elenalizabeth]

Yeah what’s good about that alloy is that it will actually get you all 3 armour pieces (the gloves, helmet and armour) as long as you just keep selecting the dialogue choice “I found this metal in Grymforge what can you make with it”.

[@BradTheAmerican]

@@elenalizabeth I just assumed that I had looted multiple pieces somewhere

[@elenalizabeth]

@@BradTheAmerican if you’ve got 3 normal pieces of infernal iron you can use them, but the Grymforge specific dialogue option uses the single infernal alloy piece that you get from that trader (either through dialogue, stealing it or buying it). I think at the end of the game I still had around 6 spare pieces of infernal iron left over (even after fixing Karlach and getting the gear), so there are “extras” littered around the game in case you miss the earlier ones. It’s a shame there’s not more to do with them, like that you can’t get Dammon to turn them into infernal explosives or something.

[@Cappybara33]

Loved seeing those characters teaming up, like the world's worst superhero team. Happy birthday to the channel!

[@likeAG6likeAG6]

not worst if they managed to win the game duh

[@jackwriter1908]

​@@likeAG6likeAG6 considering the superheroes win always in the end... they can still be the worst

[@soapdish124]

It honestly felt the closest to an actual DnD party lol. Only real humans can make characters this bad and make the worst decisions possible.

[@V15698]

Letting Alfira die and loosing the potent robe and a bunch of other supplies was a move I did not expect, but at lest you got Bex's cookies, I wish she gave us the recipe in act 3

[@ProxyGateTactician]

I actually couldn't get Bex's cookies because somehow her husband died in the prison break... Even though there was 0 enemies alive in all of moonrise. I have no idea how, plus he was the ONLY prisoner who died. I was excited to show off those cookies too

[@bingonight1504]

I learned recently the Moonrise prisoners can jump into the meat hole and die instead of escaping through the wall 💀 squish

[@LeoTheDarkAngel]

@@bingonight1504 Same happened for me, also with Bex's partner. I was so annoyed because I had already played for a few hours when I realized this.

[@elenalizabeth]

She never gave me cookies even though he got safe back to her and she said thanks. Didn’t get cookies so maybe it’s a glitch. In another run she was sad that he didn’t make it back alive even though he was standing right next to her 🤔🤔

[@feza3428]

Most cursed video description I have ever seen

[@ProxyGateTactician]

rofl I can't believe people really read these things

[@VOIDWALKER_333]

Dying by being crushed by an invisible bear would be terrifying

[@AceTheBlue]

This is the Infinity War of Proxy Gate Tactician's shared universe And I'm all for it

[@LeoTheDarkAngel]

5:25 Last time I did it this way, the Moonlantern was put into my inventory when the fight for Isobel *started* . I guess it's a failsave in case Isobel dies during the fight. But hearing that damn pixie whimpering for the whole fight was ANNOYING. And it's the only reason I know it happens in this order in the first place.

[@algernopkrieger7710]

An ugly bard shirt isn't ugly to a bard, it's *eccentric*. Plus, it's all they give us haha! Grats on the year, here's to more!

[@ProxyGateTactician]

lol my poor unlucky man was no bard though. Thanks!

[@naivety]

Baldur's Gate 3 coupon redemption edition

[@Zachary360Games]

Chucking Balthazar into the void will never not be amusing

[@Fuyuqi]

just from the intro, i had a brief overwhelming feeling of how the baldurs gate 3 fandom is blessed to have a content creator scene as amazing as it is. Thanks!

[@alexandermaxey3354]

The cat detonating the bomb and flying into the abyss sent me

[@sunbleachedangel]

Sounds like some weird vampire rules but instead of not being able to enter others' home without invitation, you can't use an item unless it was gifted to you

[@serenadotbat]

If you pass the intelligence checks at Grym forge with the one Duergar, he gives you an infernal alloy which you can give to Dammon 3 times to recieve all of the flawed helldusk armor pieces.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Right I read another comment and regret missing that. I knew you get XP from that dialogue, but didn't know about the infernal alloy. Would have been super useful too

[@serenadotbat]

@@ProxyGateTactician It was a fun video though! Always enjoy the challenge run content :)

[@Memo-OwO]

Your nonchalant humor is one of the greatest things about your videos, aside from the impressive strategy play

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Thanks for that! Glad to hear it still hits 😂 I end up watching it so many times during my edits I can’t tell afterwards

[@Memo-OwO]

@@ProxyGateTactician I don't see people mention it often but I gotta give it to you! Love the little jokes sprinkled in!

[@jekkin8972]

W music. Super quiet but i can still here the og StarCraft music.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Even my channel name is Starcraft :) ""Proxy Gate" a SC strategy. Yeah I always worry about making it loud because with headphones on it's much louder. I test all my vids with Speaker, phone, and headphones before I upload and the headphone music always needs to be low.

[@jekkin8972]

@@ProxyGateTactician I didn't even make the connection that's awesome. A true master of strategy, bg3 is honestly a perfect avenue to use strategy. Feels like most games now days don't have as much strategy elements like StarCraft of bg3. Fun stuff. But regardless great vid man. Ggs

[@NoForksGiven]

Kelemvor seeing a bunch of people who died from fallling turn up to his plane: Ayo wtf?

[@raeshavalta2898]

Absolute genius! I still love the cat character. That all cats video is still my favorite but it was awesome seeing the whole gang in action together! ❤

[@shayelisa]

I like reading video descriptions just fyi. lol Love the avengers style team up of the previous videos protagonists for this one. Keep up the good work Proxy. 😊

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Shocked to find out people read that lol I always assumed it was just for search algorithms. Glad to know it's not going out into nothingness

[@MorganaEvelyn]

This is such a fun idea love this. Congrats on the 1 year 😊

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Thanks Morgana!

[@CompleteAnimation]

I can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans we all can get up to in Larian's next game. But since that will be years away, I'll have to watch my favorite KZbinrs crack BG3 wide open!

[@seeinred]

7:39 These little book-style slides elevated the video even higher, to be honest. Great choice! And as usual, good work. Have a wonderful day!

[@Kostchei]

I read video descriptions. Congratz you farmed me for engament. On a serious note: Superb rule set once again! Very fun too see the return axe be exploited this way, I had no idea it even existed.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Okay I thought this would take like a month before someone read this not less than 30 minutes LMAO good on you

[@thegoodcookie8904]

I wish I could like a video more than once. You are a mad lad. Thanks for all the fun videos! Here's to a second year!

[@neutrality4660]

"Although things hadn't gone fully as planned..." Proxy, it was all precisely to plan. lol I'm seeing playthroughs of the Trials of Tav mod, that'd be an interesting one to do some challenges with while waiting the long 84 years to Larian's next masterpiece.

[@jaxcats]

i didn't have faith when i saw this video was only 15 minutes but you have proved me wrong my friend. keep at the goated work

[@leafygreen8524]

The house cat giving the speech and detonating the nuke on the brain made me laugh out loud. Funny thing about globe of invulnerability is that a mindflayer's mind blast can still stun you and break concentration which happened to me trying the exact same strat at the end there

[@catheriner999]

I've watched a lot of your videos and enjoyed them despite have only made it a couple hours into act 1 (game kept crashing on startup despite all troubleshooting efforts, waiting for next major patch to try again). I still have no idea of what the plot of this game actually is and I appreciate that. I just enjoy seeing all the various ways you can play the game and I also like that you don't waste time with 5-10 mins of rambling at the start of every video. Here's to another year!

[@bunnyboygamille]

I've watched all 4 of those videos so it's a delight to see the return of these characters. It looks like it was a genuinely fun run!

[@kellyyang9022]

You and fracture are the only KZbinrs I watch as soon as a video comes out, love your creative gameplay!

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Thanks! I love fracture's videos too. His ridiculous strategy series is amazing

[@grim5531]

I just got done watching all your other challenge runs, let's go 🎉

[@shadeitplease7383]

Man it’s really crazy all the creative ways you can progress in this game.

[@simontetlow9739]

Love your work, happy KZbin birthday! Will be sticking around to see what you come up with next.

[@JPNDTS]

You missed the gloves of uninhibited Kushigo from derryth for your thrower. You just have to go get the confused guy and she gives you them!! :(

[@ProxyGateTactician]

I couldn't figure out how to save him without items. (I technically could just move the backpack with magehand how that I think about it though)

[@JPNDTS]

@@ProxyGateTactician honestly I forgot you would need to have been given something that you can give to him to save him when I typed this lol but I think you're right about that method. Maybe also could extinguish the torch, and use like protection from poison on him and pop the mushrooms? I've never tried doing that but maybe it's possible to save him that way too

[@ProxyGateTactician]

@@JPNDTS Yeah I did think about it, but kinda figured moving the backpack is using an item so I just left him behind. Ur idea though im curious if it would work that sounds clever tbh

[@MoHo-x3n]

You can also save him by moving the backpack via Glut. Glut does not set off the bibberbang.

[@ekardnai]

This feels the most like a real DND party

[@Helperg]

This video has granted me real joy. Thank you for doing what you do

[@GabbyPlaysGames02]

Crazy to think it’s already been a year. I only found your channel a few months ago but I’ve enjoyed every video thus far. Happy anniversary!

[@sodedra5855]

you legitimately make some of my favorite videos on the site, great job!!!

[@NutScratcher43]

Naaber screaming happy birthday at the end made me spit my water out lmao

[@elenalizabeth]

FYI Quartermaster Talli will actually hand out 3 food packs, but each character has to ask her and pass the persuasion check. I tried to do it a 4th time but she said “I would give it to you but it appears I’m all out”. Also at Moonrise Araj Oblora will give each character a free blood potion and depending on what each character is will depend on what the potion does (also if you have a Wizard/Gale question her bloodline first she will also give you some “shutup gold” along with each blood potion). Then in act 3 you can make your blood become explosive through talking to her (by excepting the gift of a questionable potion from her). The annoying guy Naaber will also give you a necklace if you put up with his ridiculous questions for a while (Absolute Confidence Amulet: grants the wearer a +1 bonus to Performance checks at the cost of -1 to Intimidation checks). Also I think the Waterqueens armour would have worked well in fights as long as you had water under your character that throws the hammer, as it would mean you heal as each turn as long as you were standing in the water.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

I did grab all those things too, but because they ended up not doing anything for me I cut them from the video. The blood thing actually was worthless for my races, and the armor could have been ok then I guess, but I just decided to toss it for the memes lol

[@elenalizabeth]

@@ProxyGateTactician good point, because of the restrictions you made for this playthrough you couldn’t get hirelings to get extra blood potions. In my recent game I went through and hired all the hirelings and got her to make a potion from each of them, then I went through the 8 camp companions and got one from each of them too. Some of them are really good and they stack so can all be drunk by one character (unlike normal potions), but I think the Elven one is probably the best as it gives an extra 10m movement per turn until long rest. Also if you talk to Zorru he gives you the quest to kill Kagha, and if you do so you get some gloves from him as a gift (Hellrider's Pride: When you heal another creature, it gains resistance against Bludgeoning, Slashing, and Piercing damage from weapon attacks and +1 to Strength saving throws). Most useful on a Cleric or other healer character though. And if you talk to Auntie Ethel in the grove and choose the option that’s something like “I just feel a little tired” she will gift you a healing potion (the round 2nd level one) and I think you can do this once per character. (Same with the Gruel you get from the grove, you can have every camp companion/hireling grab a bowl).

[@HellishSpoon]

Happy birthday!

[@guyrapong]

I was happy for you bc Alfira gives you like one of the best clothing, money, scrolls and potions in act 2 then I saw you kill her for a cloak lmao

[@valthorix7347]

This is psychopathic, and I'm very worried for you. Happy Anniversary!

[@TheHobbitdragon]

JUST CHUCKED BALTHASAR STRAIGHT INTO THE VOID, INCREDIBLE

[@Joyful_Traitor]

If you had Wyll in your party you could have also gotten a rapier from Mizora in the mindflayer colony but I liked the fact you used for previous characters for the challenge

[@catwithnoname7041]

Holy shoot that was so legendary, can't believe I have never thought about combining all walkthroughs into one

[@pyroha]

I'm sure it's gotten commented by now but with correct dialog options Auntie Ethel can give you a Greater Healing potion in the Grove. Wouldn't have made too much of a difference in the run but felt like mentioning it anyway

[@thos9460]

this is 100% the cannon BG3 run. wish these characters could talk to each other, would be funny af and would be a great TV show aswell

3:49 um actually? the correct term is prisoner of war 1:40 don't you get parasites for helping the goblins? cant think of many places you can get them as a gift, maybe siding with nere? fun fact (i played this game too much), you can double dip on nere. once for siding with him and one from his corpse after "saving" him. no sympathy for dwegar slavers, easy to keep the gnomes alive as they usually* don't join the battle. *lumps war horn may cause the gnomes to join, also they might join the dwegar (you ARE with nere, though the ogres might be it too) but i cant remember that correctly
