The Trials Have Begun - Baldur's Gate 3 CO-OP Part 54

[@Kreence]

Remember guys. "Silence" is a ritual spell. It doesnt cost a spell slot when casted outside combat. Its also usefull when u try to kill someone silently. Because everything inside the bubble doesn't produce any sound. Also useful when u trying to sneak on someplaces or steal stuff.

[@ChristopherOdd]

Had zero clue! Thank you!

[@Esty770]

I love the voice acting and animation for Balthazar. He is so prim but such a creep at the same time.

[@VITAS874]

And he look like re4 final boss😂

[@osirisianplays8089]

@21:30 "now kith" xD thank you for sharing your playthrough. they are the highlight of my day 🙂

[@zupasha]

I think Odd referring to Balthazar as a another name, or stand in for the devil in some mythologies, I think he was thinking of Beelzebub

[@holokom3330]

Hey since you were wondering on how to trick the trial: I believe the "Copys" are created the moment your characters enter the temple - aka after you finish the entry puzzle. If you do that puzzle Naked they should be too.

[@felixenhorn9125]

The copies are made when you activate the self-same trial, when you bleed into the bowl like they did at 29:00. You would unequip everything right before that if you wanted to cheese that trial.

[@scottchadburn1535]

Loving this play through, been a daily viewer from the beginning. Fantastic game which you guys make slot of fun. Thank you 😃👍🏻

[@Guyy]

Acid only lowers AC of an opponent that uses armor, the reason Karlach AC was unaffected by acid is because Barbarian's AC is not based on their armor but rather their unarmed defense, so since it's not armor it does not get lowered.

[@ChristopherOdd]

Makes sense!

[@joshuaranum8415]

Goes on vacation. Comes back to 50 episodes of this series. Thanks for the great content.

[@taoin5560]

Btw most of the curses in the game can be removed by remove curse, so seems obvious right. Also, Luckless intuition has been spot on, keep letting him lead

[@ChristopherOdd]

Yea he’s pretty spot on

[@JoeyWillsher]

@@ChristopherOdd you defo do the talking though 🤣

[@DocDoesGamingTV]

This place is insane, can't stop watching

[@LucklessLovelocks]

Yeah! This was my favourite area.

[@ChocolateFishBrains]

By the way; you were on point thinking that the duplicates would be equipped with nothing if you unequipped your grear. The problem is that the game reads what you have LONG before you enter that room. At the beginning of the dungeon.

[@plectro3332]

I can't believe how you wiped the floor with them. In my playthrough this was the most difficult fight for me so far. My main character had 22 AC and I just couldn't hit them and they kept using super strong scrolls like Greater Invisibility and just totally destroying me

[@larryxiong1470]

I did that trial without knowing there was a negative condition 🙃 And I also had Scratch in my party, so that was interesting lol

[@VITAS874]

45:24 rings name fits for karlach. 😂

[@robingrind]

"use your ignorance as a shield" - this should be odd's motto :D

[@braddingsg1]

baltherzar is from battlestar galatica works with the cyclons

[@LucklessLovelocks]

That's Gaius Balthar

[@Rhadagar]

Well it looks like it wasn’t just my run where the AI is useless in this trial. You guys mopped the floor with them! They really need to give this fight a tuneup imo (That ring is a ton of fun on a half-orc paladin as well, can confirm 😁)

[@quantum_leviathan]

About that displacer beast I'm pretty sure you can recruit it, I think you have to talk to it , it tells you her master loves her and would never part with her than you go see said master pay him for her and not only will she fight to kill ex-master but afterward might join team.....not sure on that last part though I did see the talk to her, buy her and talk to her again bit though so I know that much is possible

[@LucklessLovelocks]

Have you seen Odd talk to animals. This was the best possible outcome.

[@rodmarker2071]

Another Smash, really it's like you are joined at the hip LoL👍👍👍👍 Nice idea with unequip btw ... I assumed the same

[@Kristi543]

Also Luckless saying he uses a bowl everyday sent me lmao . Aswell as taking it all off 😅🥵🥰

[@CDRaff]

With that Self-Same Trial you can game it by doing the armor thing, but you have to take your armor off before you offer the blood in the bowl. You can give it even bigger disadvantages than just not wearing armor too.

[@LucklessLovelocks]

Figured

[@NIGHTSTALKER0069]

Maybe removing gear might have worked before giving the blood.

[@prodigy1605]

@chrisopherodd Balthazar is the name of one of the three Kings that brought gifts to Jesus. He is a Catholic Saint and was the one that brought him Myrrh

[@broadsword6650]

Odd failed his Wise Man check on this one...

[@JoeyWillsher]

I can't believe you guys missed that skeleton, in the second entry room to left of the main hallway, 3rd floor in corner under the boxes 🙄

[@LucklessLovelocks]

I know! How could we miss that!

[@JoeyWillsher]

Odd 🤖❤❤@@LucklessLovelocks

[@jorgmeltzer9234]

Shadowheart is hot!

[@LucklessLovelocks]

Damn right!

[@alexismerlo4521]

Sucks your genius plan of unequipping didn’t work for you because it DOES work, but you DO have to remove everything lol

[@DanFlorinFTW]

21:30 🤣🤣🤣

[@andybodle7560]

What happens if you enter the self-same challenge with no armor or weapons, then gear up before combat starts?

[@Rarso997]

you should probably explore moonrise towers before you go through the whole dungeon you are in

[@kahinaloren]

Probably. I went back to a previous save to do just that. Thankfully did not lose too much time. I had missed so much important story related material there that would have been gone had I just proceeded as I first did for an hour or so.

[@CalMeNeva]

Agreed

[@WilliamALayton]

I lost some opportunities because I came here first too. It was a little disappointing. I feel like they should have positioned this dungeon 'beyond' moonrise to make it less likely.

[@taoin5560]

They should before they go to the end

[@nickrubin7312]

it's really matter of personal choice and RP, it says the worldstate would change if you go, so..., it's not like you prevented to go ;) (about which actually disappointed somehow) nothing wrong with going, they shouldn't railroad this, people would riot, although in some cases the game is too loose and railroading needed for sure it is pretty clear that Kethric is protected somehow, and there is a "relic", it is not really a high math put 2 and 2 together, but preventing or making it "clearer" imo would be too much

[@wicklander855]

Nice! BG3 "bikini edition"

[@nickrubin7312]

So... skeletons controlled by Balthazar were friendly with you, probably that's why you were attacked, although you not being Dark Justiciar might also play a part Having Shadowheart in the group is the only “fault” in this logic, however, if she is with you there should be a neutral option (there is none, which is unfortunate), or even side with Dakk Justiciar avengers (animated armor basically). Otherwise, not having Shadowheart in the party, should in fact make them aggressive towards you (and you can't be Cleric of Shar) Also, preamble to all of this actually is that (from Kethric Thorm diaries). He and his wife and daughter were Selunites, but this wife died (Melodia), he went mental about it and turned to Shar (was killed, that's the story by Jaheira and all that), and now it is ....something else, he “betrayed” Shar for something else, let's put it this way.

[@CalMeNeva]

@Odd, moonrise tower we go or it would be a entire part to be skipped dinkDonk

[@Malk80]

Oh no, hope they dont skip the towers. Should have been there before balthazar to be honest

[@quantum_leviathan]

HOLY SHIT PHANTASMAL KILLER IS IN BALDURS GATE 3 ????? ......and I just read the effect..... that sucks it's nowhere near as cool or op as pathfinder wrath of the righteous's version where target must make a wisdom saving throw to see wether or not it believes the illusion, then if it fails it has to roll a con save and if it fails that it just dies boom dead max hp to zero dead, if it succeeds the con save it just takes damage then later in the game you get the aoe version just called " weird " and i just love saying " scroll of weird" in a boom-ey announcer type voice,like how studio audience would say wheel of fortune back in the day

[@ChocolateFishBrains]

It's based on 5e, which removed all the save or die effects. The pathfinder video games are based on 1e pathfinder ttrpg, which is in turn based on 3.5e.

[@whiskeyfife1147]

I think it may have made a replica of yourselves as soon as shadow heart did the blood sacrifice, so maybe if you had removed your armor before the blood donation, that could have worked.

[@VITAS874]

12:40 it's so annoying to fight with them in nwn. 4 hit can lower you hp to 2 very quickly.

[@mega2009man]

NOOOOO! Leave Yurgir alone 😭 Protect 🗡😠🛡

[@XFizzlepop-Berrytwist]

I killed him for his hand crossbow. XD. Anyway do you know his story? I get he was tricked by Raphael, but he is still a devil, and Karlach gets inspired by killing him. Unless there is more to his story I dont know, and that he is actually a good guy? Otherwise all devils are kinda evil?

[@mega2009man]

@@XFizzlepop-Berrytwist yep 😐 *walks away*

[@srellison561]

Seriously guys. Sometimes I don't know where your brains are at. Why would you think your self-sames would unequip their weapons because you did?

[@stonerayven2455]

Balthazar was believed to be the name of one of the 3 magi who visited Jesus on his birth bearing the gift of Myrrh himself
