Can You Beat Act 1 as a LONEWOLF on HONOUR Mode? - Baldur's Gate 3

Hoo boy this was a tough one to make, I sure hope the next couple acts are easier, keeping my fingers and toes crossed! But either way I hope you guys enjoyed! I can't thank you all enough for the support, you're all so cool! Like I mentioned in the outro the next couple acts will likely be a few weeks away since I'll be going out of town so I'll see you all then!

RIP in peace Lae'zel. May you live in the fan fictions I read with Shadowheart

[@sunbleachedangel]

good old enemies to lovers

[@funnibaugetteman]

Wait a minute

[@siegdarklyon1900]

bye bye laezel, sayhi to bing bong from me while youre in the depths of hell!

[@simonjameskenway6933]

I love your content, i love shadowheart too lol

[@torieldreemurr541]

RIP Bae'zel 🙏🙏

[@matheusataide3368]

that void bulb is the most intelligent action i've seen an enemy take in this entire game

[@the_truant]

Tailor made to break my heart

[@user-ut1dt1bt9p]

That death was spectacular. I've never seen the AI acting in such a cunning way

[@rhyswalker27]

3:25 The Kanon fodder joke caught me off guard and got an audible laugh out if me. Excellent writing and delivery on your part.

[@the_truant]

I wish I could take all the credit, a couple friends of mine were genius enough to make the connection!

[@rhyswalker27]

​​@@the_truant You have some clever friends. I wonder if Larian intended that connection to be made or not? Considering they did similar things with characters like Losir, who's name sounds like loser, there's a decent chance it was intentional.

[@thisisausername9356]

That void bulb is the most DND thing I've ever seen. I can IMAGINE the DM of a campaign doing that to humble their player who thinks just because they have a High AC they're completely invincible

[@the_truant]

100% the DM got a little spiteful

[@AlicaImWunderlaand]

RIP Wilhelm Ehrenhaft :( Long live The Bald Urge

[@the_truant]

The hero that should've been :((

[@va_simp5418]

[@Liaminal]

All the alliteration is absolutely astounding

[@fulham43]

First honour mode playthrough I did was a solo single class half orc paladin. The “death ward” racial trait saved my ass constantly!

[@JPG.01]

Your expert use of alliterations is enormously enjoyable.

[@bluebird8677]

Editing, script and overall fuckery of your playthrough is delightful But i gotta acknowledge how wonderful your voice is

[@phantommangagirl]

Next on “My Strange Addiction”: eating mindflayer tadpoles.

[@Mystogan50501]

The Local Canonfodder lol 😂

[@sarahhebert4855]

this guy is a warped version of orin, shapeshifter and everything! what a wild durge run

[@tacocat4065]

Hearing the Slay the Spire music in the background after I had just closed the game made me trip for like 2 minutes

[@macksgz]

11:26 small mistake here, you said Nere was the first legendary hunt down, did you forget about the Squirrel and Alfira??! 2 other deadly adversaries for sure

[@the_truant]

You're so right, what was I thinking!!

[@tanders4444]

Hey man have a good trip wherever you’re going, we’ll be here when you get back! We appreciate the arduous adventures of your galloping gnome.

[@theressomethingwrongwithme5636]

If anybody doesn’t know, the Helldusk Armor is glitched with the defense fighting style. If you have the Helldusk Armor, and another piece of equipment that is medium/heavy armor, you will get a +2 AC from the fighting style

[@the_truant]

Ooooh that's a neat tip to know! Thank you!

[@DAMNEvanescence]

btw I literally watch/listen to ur content every day. pls keep posting

[@Teech91]

Love your videos man! Been binging them over the last couple of days and can't wait for more. Keep up the great work!

[@the_truant]

Aw thank you that really means a lot! I'll do my best to keep making good stuff!

[@zeez145]

Great video as always, can't wait to see the next acts.

[@gamelifecoaching]

Wow that void bulb though! I got surpirised when an enemy Duregar pushed one of my companions in lava but a void bulb is way too smart!

[@caelum8160]

The Spirit Tracks music always catches me off guard, I love that game

[@thethirdrichard7787]

very glad to find your channel! great content. i have your other solo runs queued up to watch while i wait for more of this honor mode run! learning a lot about how you optimize gear and abilities! and can i just i love the creative vocabulary in your scripts! very fun to catch as i chill. cheers!

[@simoncodrington]

This one was great mate nice work ❤

[@Ssakarix]

I've been watching your videos for a while and i recently been inspired to do my own solo build and see how fun it is. I can tell alot of it is defense

[@the_truant]

Good luck my dude! And yes defense of some sort is key!

[@McJaews]

Watching this live was so much better than writing the three papers I had due for my biology exam

[@nickboon1235]

Aww man I really need to finish my durge playthrough so I can watch these without worrying about spoilers

[@king_cloud9630]

Love it when you post

[@jesseterlouw4526]

Yesss I was waiting for it to drop!

[@user-ok7kk3hm3y]

Im giggling so much continue videos like this!

[@banepavlovic8321]

A legend have posted new lone wolf run

[@suzuki5843]

ANOTHER ABSOLUTELY PEAK VIDEO DROPPED FROM MY BOY THE TRUANT

[@jaredloitz2436]

3:33 you can’t slip the Canon fodder pun past me lol. Good one sir!

[@trulyagoose]

LETS GOOO ITS TIME FOR A NEW RUN

[@valk9604]

I had a similar death on rafters of moonrise.. They really love void bulbs

[@LeoTheDarkAngel]

Yoooo, the video finally dropped!

[@soullight7003]

ITS HERE!!!

[@Greenomb]

Just wondering, is your build inspired by the “eternal cockroach” DnD build treantmonk temple made? I’ve been thinking about how that build could be recreated in bg3 (at least in spirit) and your build felt very similar. But then again, pact of the blade + paladin is just a strong base for any defensive build.

[@RALPHSMASH]

STAN!

[@100MagicChickens]

during the stream, i was switching from my phone from my pc to get ready for bed, and in that time burge got yoinked from existence :,)

[@the_truant]

You're never allowed to stop watching a stream again

[@ziadjuuhh8317]

nice video

[@hana_ja]

Hell yeah bald urge

[@broccolithoughts]

Hell yeah Burge time

[@TheAnc1entOne3509]

Finally!

[@infurnno]

I’ve never seen the pendant of guidance before and I have 300 hours played where the fuu

[@the_truant]

It's up at the little watchtower right outside the emerald grove, at the top of the cliffs!

[@szkvv518]

✨Burge✨

[@danielwright4061]

Are you gonna go 5 levels warlock and 7 levels paladin for the pact of the chain extra attack and paladin extra attack stack or only the one extra attack from paladin?

[@the_truant]

Unfortunately that doesn't work on honour mode! The build will end up as 9 Pally / 3 Warlock

[@sebastiang7528]

I did my honor mode (three characters) as a 7 Paladin, 3 Warlock, 2 Fighter, the last two Paladin levels wouldn’t have done me much good, but the addition of Action surge was huge! So I can recommend that.

[@danielwright4061]

@@the_truant Thanks for the reply!

[@95PTorres]

Wait, what!? There was a hidden entrance to the Crèche?

[@thomasmissell4288]

yeeeeeees

[@8thgod769]

Oh SHIT WHEN DID HE DO THIS

[@sebastiang7528]

I don’t really see the benefit of multi Paladin and warlock. What does warlock really add here? It doesn’t seem to add any survivability, just see in darkness. Or am I missing something?

[@kipler6891]

yes you are

[@sonaryy]

Both use charisma as their spell casting modifier/save DC/damage roll. With Pact of the Blade you gain the ability to use charisma as your weapon attack roll and damage modifier. Basically, you can dump strength and have high charisma and constitution while doing good damage on normal weapon attacks as well as huge smites, since that uses charisma. All while gallivanting around in heavy plate. Aaaand devil sight + darkness is just absurd ✌️

[@Admacgaming]

Missing the streams 😢

[@Lyrakrosis]

Nooooo I'm blind on durge so I can't watch!! I'll be back...

[@aelinalice9194]

The BaldUrge Gate 3

[@brooscap7452]

While you had no viewers before, your first video suddenly gets three hundred thousand views. Please enlighten me on how this is possible, I want it too

[@kipler6891]

make good content

[@sunbleachedangel]

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurge

[@LeFayX]

[@jasonbassil9480]

can I suggest the following extra condition to these lonewolf honor mode runs: All companions must get their happy ending. Just because I may be too attached these pixels haha

[@canvascutter7818]

I SAID THAT YOU PROBABLY SHOULDNT DO IT

[@fire4ev]

haha man that void bulb was hilarious becase just earlier today i was 37hrs into my first honour playthrough and in last light inn after defeating fist marcus and keeping all allies harpers alive my DAMN CLOUD OF DAGGERS stayed after the fight (from 2nd floor) and HALSIN out of everyone walked through it twice and kill himself on the bottom floor and that triggered the fight with jahiera instantly using the icestorm instakilling almost all 4 of us.. id say my situation is bit more enraging since its almost 40hours in and due to a bug haha

[@Urubuabusado]

He probably died in the game

[@crissdace8358]

So youre gonna actually gonna make it somewhat hard lol by deciding not to make a ranger thief build

[@BloodyN1nja]

Someday I kinda want to see a modded run in your Lonewolf series. Maybe Harlequin or Artificer

[@Berllibur]

good luck on Orin fight as dark urge, lost my honour run there

[@wave7881]

dang it im not first so second!!!!! i guess

[@OTG1988]

Why's he called the Bald Urge? I don't get it...

[@the_truant]

I don't really either! It was simply put to a vote and that's what the viewers chose

[@frederikw4028]

Why does it sound like you're about to moan any second...

[@the_truant]

Ayo???

[@JohnWilson-nt2cx]

Awesome video

[@isaiahw9436]

Crazy criteria for a first time honour mode. Godspeed 🫡
