Roah survived the Fireworks blast because she has Evasion, which fully negates damage on successful Dex Saves, which she is proficient with and the Fireworks have a middling DC to begin with.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Makes sense! It just really shocked me that she could save against roughly 25 explosives stacked on her head lol the imagery of her somehow dodging these

[@starwarslover015]

@@ProxyGateTacticianyeah I imagine it was evasion. I once started the Ansur fight by blowing him up but due to turn order couldn’t move my monk. Just blew him up anyway and didn’t take damage cause of Dex saves cause I had 20 dex and advantage due to the cars grace cloth.

[@busty1985]

I thought evasion uses a reaction in which case she shouldn't be able to dodge all of them (at least imo) i know a singular action triggered all of them but those were a lot of different instances of dmg from technically different sources.

Ever since Patch 7, Honour Mode is no longer the hardest difficulty. The hardest difficulty is a Custom Game with Honour Ruleset, then you set everything to Tactician, set the Proficiency Bonus to -1 (this will effect your enemies slightly, but you even more), set Camp Cost to 3, Trader Price to 4, Turn off Multiclassing (no OP builds for you), Hide NPC Health, Failed Perception Rolls, Passive Rolls in Dialogues, and Difficulty Class During Rolls. Absolute hell.

[@gingergreenmashups]

care to explain how the proficiency bonus thing at - 1 works please?

[@yall_might]

@@gingergreenmashups you can manually choose your proficiency bonus on a custom ruleset. Normally, it follows basic DnD rules, increasing as you level from a +2-+4 by level 12. However, on the lowest difficulty, they give the players a higher bonus from the start of the game, so it's something you can choose in a custom ruleset, including the option to subtract when you have proficiency instead of adding to your roll, making your characters worse at what their class gives them proficiency in, like attack roles with proficient weapons and skill checks.

[@aliwantizu]

I think Larian did something because after Patch 7 I still had a TON of gold I got using the 2 bag trick with vendors, but when I played 2 weeks ago after a week or so of not being able to play, almost all of my Gold was gone. Now I gotta come up with something, but unlike a Mandalorian, this is not the way. Thanks for this video!

[@txbiaz]

the best thing to do when pitpocketing in a densely packed area like the guild hall is to go into turn based mode, then hide/pitpocket

[@magister343]

The best thing is to trade with them to put all their gold and any items you want into a single container, then go into turn based mode to hide and pickpocket that container and all the items inside instead of needing multiple rolls to pickpocket the items separately.

im not even halfway thru this video and youve already reduced me to tears with “if america has taught the world anything, its that all problems can be solved by using bombs” proxy you will always be famous 😭😭😭

[@bunnyboygamille]

My favorite quote in this whole video.

[@jetlagged3645]

RE: the ketheric smokepowder strat. When acquiring smokepowder from the vendor in last light you need to discard the first stack to prevent that unfortunate accident, why I don't know but that is part of the speedrun route.

[@ProxyGateTactician]

I did read that, and when i tried it still screwed up afterwards. I actually had lost 3 runs in a row to that bug because of reading that advice in the speedrun discord. Maybe I did something wrong or it got changed in patch 7? I don't really know.

[@aluc0hc]

It's because some grenades (I've personally seen it with smokepowder bombs and alchemist's fires) have glitched collision that causes them to explode on you when you chuck a stack of them. Barring corruption of stacks inside your inventory (which we are fairly sure happens but unsure as to how or why) you can only get them in the first stack from certain traders. With smokepowder bomb misfires specifically: Talli for sure has them, Derryth definitely had them before patch 7 but probably doesn't anymore, Araj will only ever sell you a single smokepowder bomb that is NOT glitched, and Barcus and all of the act 3 merchants seem to be safe. Bombs found in containers in the overworld are also safe (per my non-exhaustive testing).

[@aluc0hc]

@@ProxyGateTactician I don't believe there were any changes to Talli's misfires, but I can double check for you. Edit: There don't seem to have been any changes. As long as you buy the first 3 bombs (or the whole stack if she has less) and drop them on the ground/put them in a bag/put them in another character's inventory, you shouldn't run into the bug

[@ProxyGateTactician]

@@aluc0hc strange i really wonder what i was doing wrong. Thanks for checking that. In one of my attempts I had 8 misfires (I read you can long test to see if they float).

[@elenalizabeth]

Are the blood explosives that Araj Oblora sells also affected by this glitch? Or is that a safe/good way to get a lot of explosives?

[@softcatsocks9618]

My favorite BG3 (and other Larian games) channel. Apart from learning about things in the game I never knew existed even for someone with 300+ hrs for each game (bg3, dos1, dos2), the best part is your narration and dry humor,

[@kayleighsmalik]

I always have this pickpocketing hireling in my camp, but I use the halfling hireling for the halfling luck passive to help me out until that level 11 perk. Was able to use this build worry free on honor mode. I focused on stealing scrolls and high value low roll items (like gems) in acts 1 and 2 to sell for max gold with 100 approval merchants and a maxed charisma character. Since it was a hireling, I would just resurrect them if they died after a failed pickpocket attempt. Also, if you enter turn based mode, you can pickpocket everything in a merchant’s pockets within a single turn, so no risk of being spotted if you position right

[@magister343]

You can pickpocket it all, but each item has a separate risk of a failure. Before you get the reliable talent perk that means you will almost certainly get a critical failure eventually if you try to steal too many items separately. I prefer to go to the trade (barter) menu to drag every single item and all their gold into a single container, so I can just take that one container and all of its contents with a single roll.

[@kayleighsmalik]

@@magister343 I play on PS5, so that’s unfortunately not an option. I just limit my pickpocketing (pre-natural talent, anyway) to only items that are a 6 or under roll-wise (or one or two weapons/armor I really need and want to try for before paying for them)

[@crazedmike9907]

I've been doing a similar build since early on to practically guarantee thieving. If you're not speed running it like you were, I'd suggest picking up the Cloak of the Cunning Brume from Mattis in act 2. This allows you to create a free small radius cloud of fog (via disengage) allowing you to rob targets that might otherwise be difficult to rob (such as Rolan/Larroakan projection as example). I primarily used this to farm the Blue Angel potions from Moonrise as those suckers are ridiculously OP.

According to the weight of one gold piece in the game, minsc is carrying about 1/4 of an entire elephant, in just gold coins. If the gold had the same mass as irl gold it would be a whole lot worse for his spine

[@rokudodamaza]

The throwing bomb doesn't work because it mixes in the stack of the glitched bomb, which is either the first bomb you buy or start with, I always get invariable results when trying to separate them in half and saving game before throwing that halved stack to single out the one glitched bomb, sometimes it's 2 or 3 glitched bombs but anyway, that's why throwing bombs doesn't work and it's better to put 8-9 on the ground first in stack before throwing the two stacks from ground, one for each phase (with ring equipped)

the first set of bombs that tali sells is bugged/rigged such that if you try to throw it it explodes in your hand You just have to buy it and put it on someone else so it doesn't blow up Also the number of bombs you need for honor mode Ketheric fight is 18. 8 for ketheric and 10 for phase 2 if you have the glow ring

[@ProxyGateTactician]

I read that in the speedrun discord, but no matter what I did they were bugged. I had tried getting rid of the first 10 even. I wish I knew what I was doing wrong for that part tbh 8 only works for kethric if thrown while using the glow ring, and since i couldn't throw them they did half the damage. I found that out the hard way when I tried with 8 on the ground and Kethric was still standing with half health lol

@@ProxyGateTactician so yea apparently the strat is to throw it at the ground next to the target.

I wonder if it would have been possible to use your remaining item slots to buff Stealth and have someone else use Greater Invisibility on Minsc. Then you wouldn't have had to worry about other characters seeing you.

[@magister343]

You should sell a container to a merchant and then put their whole inventory into that container, so that you can pickpocket everything they have at once. Items within a container will stay there when you long rest or level up, while the rest of their inventory resets. That means you can level up characters and put everything in the containers all the way until they have all reached the level cap, and then steal all of those things in a single move by just taking that container. That saves a lot of running back and forth.

[@tinycatfriend]

proxy states at the beginning that he won't be using glitches or exploits. the container trick is an exploit that larian has consistently been trying to thwart, which is why he doesn't use it here. i assume the resetting stock by levelling is fine because the devs never tried to fix it, so we can arguably say it's intentional game design.
