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.

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.

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

[@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.

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

[@BryceMcFarland-ys1sc]

Plot twist, that dwarf you shoved into the water was the only survivor, and you said you killed everyone! Blasphemy!

[@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

[@fk0ff-y9j]

Imagine doing a manslaughter run without biting off Gale's hand, or killing Shadowheart(I'd kill her even on a normal run, she's so annoying)

[@dumpykong]

You are crazier than I am

[@fk0ff-y9j]

@@dumpykong I just started a similar one on the side going solo and bumped on this video(YT spying on my google search for solo build ideas) and it's confusing you didn't try to murder literally every npc.

[@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.

[@tinyhammertoksvig8218]

if we're going to be really pedantic, Raphael is a devil, not a demon. Devils and demons are not the same thing in DnD, although they are both considered fiends. Devils live in the Nine Hells, like Raphael and Mizora. Demons live in the Abyss. I can't remember if we meet any demons in BG3, but I don't think so, at least not any major NPC. Devils and Demons are in an endless war called the Blood War which is mentioned in BG3.

[@dumpykong]

you are absolutely right

[@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

[@themeister7104]

This was so much more entertaining than I thought it would be. I know this had to of taken just an absurd amount of time.

[@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

[@hollowjoker6295]

I remember a dialog stating anyone who leaves becomes a mindflayer because they are no longer being protected.

[@Rosedragon15]

Larian: Oh boy I can't wait to see what content people make of our game! Larian after seeing the content: :O

[@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.)

[@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.)

[@hebigdill]

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

[@ValtheRatArtist]

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.

[@King_Kong_Song]

If you attacked the Emerald Grove with Minthara, her forces will kill the kids in the grove for you

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

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

[@edd.5169]

congratulations youve been chosen to be my sleep video for this month, i will keep returning as i will never finish the video before i fall asleep

[@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.

[@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.

[@iNecroMancer]

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

[@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

[@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…

[@omegadragonRandom]

How perfectly normal nice humans play a game right after getting off their 9-5 at a vet clinic

[@mintkit1064]

I have a laugh everytime someone calls a devil like Raphael a demon. They hate that 😂

[@lolkip61]

"Their names are really fucking ugly" My sister is called Eef lmao

[@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]

They are playing on Balanced judging by the only 40 camp supplies required when they long rest.

[@strunkshade]

How do they have so much health tho?
