Quick note; you can remove the bloodless penalty with lesser restoration. A level 2 cleric spell. Second quick note: there's an amulet for free 1/day lesser restoration under a rock in the grove, down at the beach where the bear you murdered is. Basically, giving Astarion the happy buff by letting him bite you every day (or someone else) is entirely free.

[@KodyackCasual]

As a secondary minor aside which I should have waited to comment for: you can keep Mayrina's brothers alive by usning non-lethal mode after siding with Ethel. There's even a special dialogue for it when you talk to Mayrina. However she still reacts as if they've ben killed and nothing further comes of it. Not helpful for a "kill everyone" run, but an interesting interaction that was accounted for, then ignored.

[@eslin2845]

Alternatively just have him slurp the first person he sees

If you choose to raid the grove with Minthara, all the Tiefling children will die.

[@TheBoromirDonkey]

I haven't tried it, but they can probably be killed while in rat-form. There is a dialogue option that lets you expose them without confronting Kagha the regular way. I suspect the key is killing them before Halsin returns, since that is when they leave.

You missed quite a big amount of goblins that can only be killed when you tell Minthara the location of the grove and then defend the grove from Minthara leading the attack as there's a lot of similar enemies that are in the camp, but they're not the same goblins.

Mirkon (the kid by the Harpies) will die if you don't activate the encounter soon enough, but he can also die in the battle against the Harpies, though it is up to random chance. While the Harpies rarely, if ever, directly target Mirkon for attacks, and he primarily uses the Disengage skill to flee the battle, if one of the Harpies begins singing on a subsequent turn and succeeds in luring him back, he can walk past one of them and trigger an Attack of Opportunity, one-shotting him. Happened to me just last night and cost me 30 minutes because I forgot to save, lol.

[@nuzzlebit]

For killing playable characters: you can technically kill them anytime, but there are circumstances where they can die permanently. Lae’zel is the easiest, you get SO many opportunities to let her die, e.g. letting Shadowheart kill her. Astarian can be killed in the scene where he tries to suck you. Karlach is dead. Wyll can be killed if you raid the Druid grove with him and Minthara (who can be killed immediately after iirc). Shart can be killed in the Shadowfell if you don’t let her kill (spoilers) the Nightsong. Minsc can be killed in his initial battle, and I think as long as you kill Jaheira before the assault on Moonrise, you’re good. From what I remember, none of these deaths lock you out of any unique kills. Cazador, Voss, Lady DeVriska, and Ravengard all still appear iirc. However if you kill Halsin too early, you don’t get access to Thaniel. I’m not actually sure if Thaniel can die, so this might be moot. Orin can kill him later anyway. Lastly, Gale. He can die in the portal you meet him in, but that locks you out of Elminster. He can’t actually die, but where’s the fun if you can’t even beat up an old man(‘s construct he’s using as a body)? After that, you should let Gale explode during the Netherbrain fight, so both he and your Durge die. (: Also, nitpick, lorewise Shovel doesn’t really die. She’s from the hells, so she respawns back there, like Yurgir. But gamewise she’s effectively dead since you didn’t learn the scroll, so whatever.

You missed out on being able to safely kill Gale by NOT cutting his hand off.

10:40 The kid can die if he gets too close to the harpy singing on the rocks. I found that out after he kept failing the saves to get away, he was lured all the way across. She basically one shot him.

[@hebigdill]

You can kill the harpy kid by just not going over there until the end of act 1

[@katelundberg2029]

I will say Counceller Florrick *might* be required to be fed 2 tasty morsels due to refusing the deal Wyll is offered if you try to break his pact in act 2. I'm pretty sure refusing this deal is already required for Mizora to feed you even more morsels by trying to get what she offers anyways(since she summons adds to stop you) but refusing the deal also has Florrick bring her allies(which is another fucking quest you have to do to make sure she is free in act 3) and those allies *might* be unique to that encounter. Either that or someone else replaces her but if not Florrick has to live technically. I also don't think you can kill Isobel right away because you want to progress Halsin's quest to get his feeding frenzy of morsels from portal defense and that seems to only trigger after Isobel's fight which I think means the optimal strat is to kill the grove to 1 person, and if the raiders on the grove are unique raid the grove and betray Minthara to get those kills and if the raiders are not unique then make sure the last person in the grove is a druid who can complete the rite of thorns. If the grove is thorned off Halsin will join your camp but not if it's raided with you helping the raiders. You can also raid the grove with only Zevlor remaining since you can kill him later but don't fry him in act 2 since freeing him gives more adds in the fight than would be fried without freeing them. If you don't care about maximizing kill count ignore me and just make sure to clear the prison in Moonrise before and during the raid to make sure the guards there are dealt with

[@TheMaxxam01]

Hank (npc that serves you and karlach during a date) has a replacement npc if you kill him beforehand

[@zeotroy7616]

the child in the beach can die, aradin bring many npc against you in act 3, new gobelins appears if you attack the grove with minthara

[@spawnofheck504]

If you're going for animals too, you missed the opportunity to kill the boar from Astarion's cutscene. It'll run off onto this little peninsula, and you can attack it there.

[@xaviercardinal3594]

missed the shadow druids

[@MrHattor]

@@GoadedGoblinhe got those. It was shown briefly but not narrated

[@doctorkuroneko8762]

37:00 a little fun fact is that by doing the quest or dialoguing with the blbluejay, you discover the little bird is just trying to steal the eagle's nest. If you fight the eagles until they have 1 hp the little bluejay should actually join the battle and finish them off

[@DanniReykjalin]

I'm pretty sure Mayrina has to be rescued and stay alive until act 3 as there's 3 other NPC's that are connected to the quest: Avenge the Hag Survivors that appear in Old Garlow's Place if Mayrina has been rescued and is alive.

[@andrewdarby8843]

Withers can be killed with mind flayer powers. Take ability drain and use intelligence spells to reduce his int to 1. Then use devour intellect

[@Ikventum]

after the newest patch you can actually have minthara as a companion even if you kill the goblins you just have to knock her unconsious

[@havenschade8174]

"I just want to be able to walk around this massive world and not find any life", ah the ol' starfield treatment i see

[@gregorshepherd3561]

Your video has made me think that when I do this kind of run, I will deliberately keep alive any NPC in an earlier act that reappears later, so that it opens up the other quests and NPCs. So I can do them in at the later stage. Props.

[@MycroftJr]

This is the way. Planning to record such a run myself eventually.

[@lucasetti540]

Love the video! And since you asked: you can use the Basilisk Oil to remove the petrified condition from the dwarf in Auntie Etel's Basement. He'll end up dieing on his own since he's effected by a desease and the petrification was stopping it, but by leving him petrified he's tecnically still alive (that's kinda the whole reason why he willingly did that)!

[@skruffytiger2002]

he unpetrifies when ethyl dies, and you can kill him normally then

[@AllanEnraged]

[@kevintreese4544]

If I recall correctly I remember someone “killing” withers by using the Flesh to Gold spell (obtained via the signed trade visa, dropped from Gerringothe Thorm after giving her at least 5k gold.)

[@starwarslover015]

Don’t forget, in act 2 you get a two for one when you kill Mizora in moonrise towers as she drags Wyll down too.

51:00 in the owlbear lair, if you go up the little ramp that forms an arch into the cave you can jump onto a ledge that leads to a spot were usually another owlbear spawns when the first adult calls for it, not sure if you can get the spawn if you get close or if you already fought it

[@iris6125]

I tried something like this and gave up on it in Act III, because dealing with the Flaming Fist spawns is.... interesting. There was a spot near the stage in the Circus with three civilians, none of whom run away when you attack one of the others. Each one summons three Flaming Fist when you attack them. Finding this out was the worst time I've had in this entire game. On the other hand, I attacked the Murder Tribunal target outside of the Blushing Mermaid, aggroed the whole tavern, and had a blast. Attacking the bank instead of talking my way in was also really fun. Just maybe take down the Steel Watchers as early as possible in Act III.

[@iris6125]

Also fun fact: if you kill everyone in the grove before you talk to Minthara, you can tell her about it and then it skips to the goblins being in charge of the grove. No raid and no party.

[@lomalu01]

10:30 he died in one of my playthroughs because i forgot about him and i suppose got there too far into the storyline and he was just dead on the ground, whoopsie (edit 48:40 you can kill him pretty easily by smashing him with the forge thing in the middle, just position yourself so he has to go to the middle to attack you and then pull the level, if that hits him 2 times while hes heated hes dead.)

[@Arumia13]

I think you need to keep halsin alive, so you can get Oliver and thanial, not sure if you can kill them, but you can kill people in camp so…

[@samvanderjagt5423]

There were 2 cambions left on the nautoloid.

[@Arumia13]

Also i would check about the hag survivors quest, I don’t know if it will activate without mayrina which obviously has a few unique npcs

[@iNecroMancer]

You miss the undead army guarding the way to the shadow cursed lands

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

I know there's probably like 80 comments about this but you can, in fact, have the child in the harpies fight die.

[@S1D3_K1CK]

This is the first of your videos I’ve ever watched but now I can’t wait for acts 2 and 3. Act 3 is going to be 3 hours long lol

[@celestemartin7711]

I personally wouldn't count it, but there is a third owlbear that gets called in if you're paying on tactician. The mother owlbear does a mating call as a legendary action in her fight to summon it But maybe you cover that later into the video!

[@aussiejo5764]

10:22 In fact, if you get closer to activate the quest but leave, a while later the boy will be dead next to the harpy.

[@hawkerhuey603]

Didn´t you theoretically miss the two cambions that join the zhulk/mindflayer fight after a few rounds? But else, great dedication to the vid. I just wish there would be a spell like pyroclastic eruption in DOS2 that targets every npc in a certain range so you could just blast them to pieces^^

[@marcusbridgewater280]

Proxy Gate Tactician uploaded a vid on august 9th where he beat ALL of that fight. The whole damn thing. They literally hotfixed the game because of him.
