regarding the volo ring, you can actually just buy it off volo right as soon as you first meet him in the druid grove you just have to open trade via the trade button on the bottom left in dialogue

It's great for people who run Astarion and let him feed every night; you can instantly cure Bloodless first thing in the morning without needing to use a cleric's spell slot

[@CommanderRBD]

@@destinygalearies7382 I planned using it with my Dark Urge run. LOL accept I somehow had so many other things trigger that after killing Neer. Astarion had the exclamation mark over him. Then when I initiated dialogue wondering what it it was about, He just flat-out told me he was a vampire and then seemed to just automatically gain his bite ability after the conversion finished. At least I think it was too many other things happening I long rested quite a few times before reaching the Underdark in general, not just the Grymforge overall.

[@elenalizabeth]

If you want a bunch more Orthon explosives, when attacking Yurgir, make sure you are close by when he is low on health as he drops a bunch of them, and if you are quick enough on your turn you can run around and pick them all up before they explode. I ended up with about 10 from doing that.

[@aaronhumphrey2009]

Genius ! I didn't try to pick them up at all !

[@garrettsines3451]

For the blood of lathander mace quest, to get the crest, you can skip the weapon collecting part, and just walk up to the wall that opens, pass a perception and sleight of hand check and open the secret wall without having to collect the weapons

[@ZypherWildfire]

30:30, I just put two of the vases on each chair to open the room.

[@crefilux3737]

I love that Larian gives you those opportunities in their games

[@davinator1212]

A fun combo the wife figured out was Phalar Aluve and the Shield of Scorching Reprisal. Shriek is an action, Blazing Retaliation is a bonus. If your character has the reverb gear, and they attack you and miss (which the probably will since the shield adds 3 AC) the shield hits them opp with fire damage, making the sword hit for thunder, making the reverb gear to go off. Shriek is also a condition so it trips the reverb gear too. its honestly kinda busted.

[@mitiamed]

stuff you can do once per rest is rather situational than broken imo

[@PuskasMarton]

@@mitiamedthe game shits metric tons of camp supplies on your party if you look around for it (more like bother to pick it up) so resting isnt much of a hurdle.

[@mitiamed]

@@PuskasMarton I'm not talking about the supplies economy of resting, more about being able to do something more than once per battle or - like in my case - doing rare rests to maintain bigger bonuses you get that expire after resting (most of my act 3 playthroughs go with one long rest)

Just barely found a lever on the top floor of arcane tower that you have to pass a perception check on, but it opens the basement! No need to kill poor bernard 🎉 it’s near some pipes right against the wall!

[@DanielArnett]

The proper way is to read the books in the tower and recite him poetry you find. That will cause him to give you the ring. You equip it and can go to the basement.

[@augustolenzuen800]

Hey there! I never thought I'd learn something new about BG3, being I've explored every nook and cranny of the game in my 1st playthrough. And yet I have! Just FYI, the Guiding Light ring can be obtained without killing Bernard if you read some books on your way up to the top floor, and then choose the appropriate responses. He'll lay it on the table and then you can pick up the lightning resistance ring before you fight him, if you want to fight him at all. Also, if you expose Kagha as a Shadow Druid and then steal the idol, the Druids won't attack the Tieflings either.

[@jkfoxworth17]

You can get a 2nd quasit if you go through the mirror and have another character talk with shovel, then you can have that character summon quasit, now 2 shovel’s.

Deathstalker Mantle is no joke. I have it on my Thief/Shadow Monk Astarion, and he's almost always invisible because of it lol

[@eureka0521]

Imo the most op item in the game considering how early you can get it. the only downside is it interferes with auto starting dialogue

[@quadeforrestal4320]

i carried the minds around the whole game no idea what they did till now

[@kahwigulum]

the ring of fling sold by arron at the druid grove and the returning pike are OP well into the end of act 2. i had laezel throw that thing for the majority of the game, even after acquiring a silver sword. the returning pike just does far more damage after the bludgeoning damage bonus _from gravity_ is factored in. since she's a natural jumping athlete who also has misty step, get her up high and just start dropping some pike. even if you miss the attack, the fall damage from the pick does bludgeoning damage, and then the returning part does a bit more, and both of those instances of damage are affected by the ring of fling, adding another 2d8 of damage or so. when she got into two attacks per round plus action surge plus potion of speed, she would one shot _entire encounters_ often in the first round of combat. the forge guardian i think took two round, especially since it's also got vulnerability to bludgeoning damage. it feels like cheating, and all of the items required are available in the first ten minutes of the game.

[@kahwigulum]

i even had her misty step up onto the bridge where you first meet kithrak voss and murdify her own people who were level 5 while i was merely level 3. she was easily doing 40+ damage per throw on average, often much more than that, multiplied by the total number of attacks per round equating to hundreds of damage per turn.

[@aaronhumphrey2009]

❤that build..I use it in Honor Mode ..

[@cavemancelettuce4201]

For the necromancy of thay in the blighted village, the key to the door it’s behind is actually on a shelf next to the exit wall in that room. Locking isn’t that bad but the key is there in case anyone doesn’t run dex characters in your party

[@azarael77]

The only problem with the whispering promise ring: If you actually cast bless with any character and then use the character with the ring to heal a blessed character, it reduces the time, bless stays active on the healed character as the usual bless spell lasts longer than two turns and gets overwritten by the bless spell of the ring.

warning for people summoning Lumps crew, if you do it at the goblin camp outside, they will kill the owlbear :(

[@kahwigulum]

you also cant summon them if youre in the rafters (since the ogres cant path to you) if you summon them while the people inside the goblin camp are neutral, the ogres will start smashing regardless i stood next to dror ragzlin and blew the horn in his ear, then just went invis and waited for the ogres to clean house in real time, which they did, while not having to wait for turn order.

[@kahwigulum]

oh also summoning the ogres during the hag fight almost never works. the ogres will be hostile to the girl in the cage and path on her immediately, ignoring the hags, and just getting acid arrowed to death while they try to figure out how to get to the cage. ive never tried it with the masked paladins in the fight because i always defeat them earlier, so maybe if they are present the ogres would be more help. even during the githyanki fight, they get pwned. the ogres are pretty much useless in most fights. the only good thing about them is the crown they drop, that's about it.

[@jarrodbright5231]

Really good list and included a couple of things I hand't found. You did miss one of the most powerful weapons in the game which can be easily missed by killing the wrong Duergar in Grymforge, and that's the Bow of the Banshee. Frightened on hit with a bow is insane at locking enemies, especially melee enemies, out of having turns especially if you combine it with things like Arrows of Many Targets, Slashing Flourish or Arrows of Ice (Frightened + Prone is a recipe for a stun-lock).

[@aaronhumphrey2009]

Agreed. I've been using that bow on my Gloomstalker Ranger/ Assassin all the way to Act 3. Saving the child from the Hag will get you the legendary Gom Triel bow

[@JoshSweetvale]

Hmm. Dark Urge Sorceror or Bard. Folks, make your choice. I'd be rejecting Bhaal but going full Mind Flayer. I'm thinking Bard for the inspirations. Oathbreaker Paladin for minion shenanigans is also tempting, but I want Sarevok's armor.

[@kims8752]

Casting darkness over the area where the sylvanus idol is, you can steal it before going to the goblin camp and the druids will not attack the tieflings this way

[@SwedePotato314]

I cleared the goblin camp and as everyone was packing up to go I was looting all the tiefling’s stuff- they just leave it all there when they’re clearing out. I went down to the idol, cast fog, snatched it and fast traveled the waypoint right outside, walked right back in and gave it to Mol who is right by the gate. Then I walked back down to where the idol had been and no one said a thing. After the tiefling party I walked back into the grove and Kahga was just standing right by the entrance so I killed her for the Broodmothers necklace or ring she has. Then I walked right over to the little guy who sells stuff and he said not one single word. So it’s still possible to tie up all quest lines. Even just knocking out Minthara will complete the 3 leaders quest so you can get the note from the swamp and stop the ritual, get the leaders and all their gear, even loot Mintharas armor so she shows up naked later in act 2 (or so I’ve heard. I just killed her in this playthrough). Then go back and steal the idol and then get Halsin and then go back and get Kahgas loot. I love this damn game lol

If you want to stay on the side of sovereign Spaw, you can use Glut (just click on his portrait and start walking, the others won't follow him) to enter the bibberbang mushroom field and save Baelen and get the noble stalk. You cannot pick up the noble stalk, but you can move it around (same with the backpack for Baelen). Just a heads up for people who don't want to side with Glut. There's also a ridge that runs around the bibberbang field where you can safely walk avoiding the bibberbang shrooms. At one point you come across a skeleton (it's hard to see, so you might want to cast light on your weapon to see better) which has a ring that gives +1 to survival and +1 to nature. It's called Explorer's Ring. Weird that you didn't mention this here.

As for Shovel, there's a bit of a hack to get the summon ability on any character regardless of class. If you have a wizard or use Gale, you both can have him. Shovel is no different than a regular quasit but he does have fun dialog. The Blood of Lathandar mace is one of the best in slot in the game for an Aspect of Light cleric (especially if you set up with radiant orb/reverberation gear). It makes act 2 so much easier.

[@MonteZuul]

You can get the ring of protection immediately in ACT 1 (i.e., as soon as you enter the Grove), but you need to have fairly quick (irl), sticky fingers (this is also, very obviously an unintended exploit). Simply run up to the Statue of Silvanus and pick it up - during the looting animation (meaning, while the item is in the air and going towards your character, but before disappearing/entering your inventory) go to camp. If you go to camp while the statue was 'still in the air', the Druids won't aggro, and they will carry on as if nothing has happened. You may want to savescum if you find it difficult to do, but I've done it both on console & PC without fail (and most of these have been on Honor Mode), so it's quite safe once you get used to it. Once you have the ring, you can go directly to Mol, get the quest and turn it in (or get the quest before, doesn't matter), however: There is one caveat, and that is to have good favor with Mol. That means, you have to either save Arabella, or save the kid being lured by the harpies, if you didn't do the former (you can naturally also do both). The Harpies is a difficult fight, though, so if you want the ring ASAP, I'd recommend saving Arabella. If you don't have good favor with Mol, she will be verbally hostile to you, and not give you the quest.

Apologies if someone commented already You can actually get Ethel's Hair and still kill her if you're willing to take a somewhat tedious approach to the fight. You have to have a companion hidden out of sight for the duration of combat. Once the dialogue with Ethel begins and you get the pop-up for her hair you can switch to the hidden companion and have them sneak up and kill her. This will result in you getting the hair and freeing the masked people (if you kept them alive). The game will get somewhat confused later on with NPCs potentially speaking as if you had both spared her _and_ let her live, though.

great video! I missed quite a few of these.

The 2 chairs I just put vases on them. No companions needed.

It's wild that Lo'siir still has placeholder pauldrons

4:30 "if you don't have a druid or cleric in your party" Who's out there not bringing Shadowheart everywhere? One quick subclass change and she's OP as all hell as a healer/support. Especially with Zevlor's gloves. And the game REALLY wants you to have her with you anyway, since half of Act 2 is her story, and if you try to ignore her in act 1, the game literally throws her at you and shouts "TAKE HER WITH YOU" basically.

You can place pots or other items on the seats for the secret door to open.

If you summon Shovel from your spell book then you won't get the summon spell from common list as if you summon it from the scroll. From common list any class you are you can summon Shovel.

There is also a very good greatsword in act 1 that you can easily miss. The one held by flaming fist trying to save the counsellor

who the hell is korga lmao

[@itme7685]

You’d think with all the secrets they found they’d mention where to kill this “kroga” character. Maybe they are somewhere in the grove?

The druid lady that tries to kill the child. There's a mission related to her where you find out she's evil and can confront and kill her.

[@itme7685]

@@kylerproctor7741 I'm familiar with Kagha in the grove. It's Korga that I have no idea who or where they are.

[@ojaeftw]

@@itme7685 Korga is how it is pronounced. Just play with subtitles off.

[@itme7685]

I listened back to it and there is definitely no R in both the spelling of it and the pronunciation. I think it's the UK accent of many of the voice actors, but after listening back I can see how someone may have misheard it.

2:05 if anyone is trying to get the approval points for SH, make sure u don’t let either of em get knocked out, pickpocket the hellrider gloves, before you talk to zevlor, you can still talk to him and it will be as if nothing happened. (This also makes it so it’s easier to get mols mission since one of the tiefling kids will rob Aradins companion etc)
