[@highvoltage988]

Check out the AGDQ run on her channel, everything is explained! It's not Honor Mode but most of the strats are identical. The only real difference I know is Ketheric doesn't get one shot by dropbear on Honor Mode.

[@phoenixkh93]

Just slinging Gortash over your shoulder and carrying him off while the Steel Watch and all the nobles gathered for the coronation do absolutely nothing about it will never not be funny to me

[@forestsavior]

I love that yeeting Gortash is still optimal. The dev room warps are fun but there's just endless delight in watching the smug-ass major villain be hauled off like a misbehaving child by a shockingly strong elf lady and hurled off a bridge like a common goblin. An instantly understandable, beautiful moment of poetry in motion. Even if you have to dub in the Goofy scream yourself.

[@maximiliandort3489]

What makes it even better to me is that it's done while invisible. To everyone there, it'd look like the man just starts levitating, flailing about while being dragged towards the exit. And people are like "yeah, whatever. He'll be alright i guess."

So I just had to work with what I had, which was painfully slow chip damage. This 2nd time, was on tactician and I just got him wet and did call lightning 3 times. A few throws from a tavern brawler and a couple monk smacks, and he died with only having taken 1 turn. So awesome the game rewards strategy.

[@hypeflexington7081]

That is crazy. I literally thought the hardest act 2 fight was balthazar. I had to do that shit with tav and Shart bc his giants kicked wyll and karlach off the cliffs... kethric was mega easy to me 😅. It's crazy what diff people find to be challenging. So far the Orin and GOR Fights were also super easy. I had an easier time the first time on Orin bc I just used asterion to shoot bomb arrows at the ppl to knock them off the cliffs. I then did it a 2nd time bc I realized after gor, that I had fucked up my wyll choice for karlach's story so I basically found a quick save 35 hours prior after the wyrm. Then I forgot to bring any bombs and had to struggle to kill the cultists while Orin just wailed on me. Shit was dumb

​@@hypeflexington7081Bro i wasted an entire day just to kill that b*****. But the last fight was just too easy💀. The Real boss should have been balthazar.

[@hypeflexington7081]

@@kaidatheunforgiven295 on tactician I had a MUCH harder time on Mrykul. I also found out you can skip stage1 of the 2nd kethric fight by convincing himself to just give up. If you ask him to seek redemption, or something, he will unalive himself into the mrykul pit. The downside is that this starts the mrykul fight WITHOUT your party having ANY time to go and free The Nightsong so you gotta waste some time doing that PLUS On tactician mrykul had a few extra moves which are annoying. Shit suuuucked lol. Also killing Balthazaar in the shar temple first is a lil dice. That fight got hard for me on tactician but I managed to pull the W With asterion and some well placed fog/darkness arrows.

It's a dev room. They hide NPCs and items in it to spawn in our spawn out things in the game without deleting them entirely. It's a pretty common tactic in the engines to move corpses into a body room to reduce the stress on the game. The corpses will either be deleted from the room that no normal player will ever see , or the room and corpses are never loaded into memory. However, players almost always find dev rooms if they look hard enough.

[@stefs6590]

I asked the same question and rewatched it like three times in a row. I do believe since the bear was invisible, it wasn't triggering combat, so you can jump as many times as you want because technically jumping isn't an attack? That's my best guess.
