Solo Shadow Monk - Gith Creché Assassination - Part 1 - Honour Mode

[@kalimyre]

Shadowheart: turns off all the lights and disappears into the shadows directly in front of them. Trained gith warriors: yeah, this is fine.

[@FriendlyLich]

She's just allergic to light, that's all. 😇

[@pihwht]

It's nice that you're using Shadowheart, because slaughtering all gith is totally in character.

[@FriendlyLich]

It felt spot on to be honest :)

[@monnad540]

i don't usually watch gameplay videos, but yours are strangely comforting to watch. Thank you for the content!

[@FriendlyLich]

Oh thanks, happy to hear that! You're very welcome!

[@jotun5383]

Coupled with arrow of many targets, Bow of the Banshee and some lucky rolls, one can devastate a small group of enemies. Hunting bow for monsters, titan bow for strong characters and that one - they carry you through the whole game. As always: It's just wonderful to watch you go through the game, strategizing, planning - and improvising after the inevitable critical misses. 😁

[@FriendlyLich]

I got to try that sometime, sounds like a lot of fun! Thanks! Glad to hear that! Those pesky misses haunts me so bad!

[@Bshue123]

Me: I wonder how long it will take before they miss a kill by 1 hp? 1 minute and 23 seconds into the video: I gotchu fam.

[@FriendlyLich]

Every single time!

[@embreis2257]

@@FriendlyLich 9:36 yet you landed critical hits too and even when you needed them the most like at this point.

[@embreis2257]

25:33 nice conclusion of the fight. 💪shoving the last Gith down into the acid liquid and then blithely stepping into the repulsion mine while casually evading all damage from it. what an unbothered princess. 😄

[@FriendlyLich]

🤣 I was really glad that I didn’t get yeeted down or something. Recording a long video just have something weird happen can be annoying, although a bit funny too I suppose 😅

[@arnaucasellas2508]

I guess when they got no surprise they have alert feat or what? I can't understand why sometimes it triggers and sometimes it doesnt. Best bg3 gameplay content honestly mate. Well done

[@FriendlyLich]

It could be alert, I haven't checked that. Good idea. Thank you very much! 🖤

[@enhasa5653]

Bro, never realized how tired a woman she is. It's wild lol

[@FriendlyLich]

She’s very eepy indeed 🖤

[@embreis2257]

0:48 'I'm using _Bow of the Banshee_ . I enjoy it a lot.' we can see why. 😆 the Gith took no damage due to their damn _Ready to Parry_ condition but he is frightened and has 2 Reverb on him. nice. 👍 gz on finishing off the first Gith in the most clean and swift manner possible. 👏we see a master assassin at work here. 😎

[@FriendlyLich]

Yeah! The bow seems to be great so far 🖤. Will see how it fares further into the game though!

[@joydipnayek8070]

Seems like my theory of cone of vision with breaking invis was wrong. Lol So many close calls here. Cant wait for the captain and the inquisitor fight. XD

[@FriendlyLich]

Was a good thought so it had to be considered :) Unfortunately I did half the captain fight without recording so that's a bust. Inquisitor is complete though!

[@curio27]

yay shadowmonk!! pop those gith xp balloons!!

[@FriendlyLich]

Haha xp gith balloons! What would Lae'zel say? :D

[@curio27]

ummm hopefully she gets some perfectly timed amnesia 😅

[@FriendlyLich]

@@curio27 Let's hope so!

[@Drakkman1978]

Nice!! Good to see you keep the theme of leaving enemies at 1 hp 😂

[@FriendlyLich]

Hah yea it's a constant so far this run. Crazy how it keeps happening lol.

[@embreis2257]

@@FriendlyLich to be fair, the first three times any Gith in that fight took their 'second wind' they healed themselves for just 3 or 1hp respectively. ☺ or 24:57 Vu'un missing you three times in a row.

[@FriendlyLich]

@ Maybe they had some of that lich luck 😅

[@kaldishelbryndjar]

Not the younglings! How could you do such a thing ;-;

[@FriendlyLich]

They were trying really hard to kill me 🫣

[@ThinkingRaccoon6334]

Do you have a leveling guide? Im always under leveled by the time i get to the areas you are at.

[@FriendlyLich]

I don't have a leveling guide, but to summarize it it goes something like this. Do most of first map (skip owlbear, barn, auntie, gith patrol) until i hit lvl 5, go to underdark and get a sussur weapon+lenores tower+mindflayer quest. Go kill auntie and get that +1 then wrap up map 1. Down to the underdark (this is also here i go shopping in the Creché if i need some key item) and clean that out, grymforge and then creché. I don't have a fixed strat to level but roughly that's how I approach it. Hope that helps!

[@embreis2257]

@@FriendlyLich iirc, I saw you wielding Lenore's staff at lv4 in earlier runs (the Necromancer run?). I was so impressed my Gith wizard went there using enormous jumps and feather fall at lv3 (solo but only Tactician mode). didn't matter as there was no fighting. the earth rumbled once but he vacated the spot before anything reared its head. 😅

[@FriendlyLich]

@@embreis2257 That’s true yes. That staff is sweet :)

[@embreis2257]

6:40 is there a particular reason why you delay doing the level-up? do you weigh up the potential benefits of leveling-up right here and now to the benefits when doing it later? 🤔

[@FriendlyLich]

Honestly just didn’t want to ruin my flow 😅

[@wanderingaming5805]

What clothes is she wearing? I agree it looks great!

[@FriendlyLich]

It's Padded Armor +2 she's wearing :)

[@YakubBlackmann]

Why are you using bonus action to open a target at the beginning of the fight?

[@FriendlyLich]

It’s so I reliably get my full attack on my turn. Opening with a normal attack would mostly only allow me to attack once.

[@YakubBlackmann]

@FriendlyLich does off hand trigger sneak attack reaction when multiclassed with rogue?

[@FriendlyLich]

@@YakubBlackmann It should but I have not confirmed it.
