[@shakamlg]

You maybe want to add this one: On the top floor of the arcane tower (where the robots are) there is a lying chair called "Stool of Hioll Giant Strengh" (in the corner). If you break it, you can lot a weapon that increases your strength to 19

PROTECT DAMMON AT ALL COSTS, if you are / have Karlach, there is NO replacement NPC for him, and there are multiple times in all the Acts where he can just straight up DIE due to bugs or how certain encounter chains can play out in all of the Acts hard locking you from finishing Karlachs personal story with the engine

[@AnastasiaAisling]

Also Dammon + owlbear cub🥹

[@Tcrror]

WHAT ARE THOSE EVENTS AND HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE TRIGGERED THEM?! I was dead set on Shart, but then I started hanging out with Mama K, you know? I have a bunch of save files, but I don't want to have to go too far back if I don't have to, you know?

[@impanda8865]

Yeah. I've not once been able to save dammon

[@Ohtrin]

Another big benefit of Dammion is that he is the only Vendor you interact with in all 3 acts. Which means, if you ever want to sell unique gear (something you don't see any use for rn, might be exactly what you want when you find out a synergy), sell it to him so he will carry it for you just in case. And If you 100 his approval it will carry later on making him the slightly optimal vendor.

[@1border2lands3]

If you kept the kids alive to act 3 they’ll also have unique gear that you’ve sold to other vendors that you’ve killed, might’ve been a bug though

[@Kuijano]

@@1border2lands3 Yeah the kids loot everywhere you've been once you leave the Act, it's hilarious. Especially after Act 2, where they loot the entire tower for anything you might've missed so you can just buy it later when you find them.

[@whathappenswhenimbored]

You don't have to be a wizard to learn the Cheeky Quasit spell. You could also get it permanently as a Warlock and Sorcerer if you pick the correct dialogue options and then talk to her next to the mirror with the spellcaster who summoned her. Correct dialogue choices are 1 for all dialogue options except for when option 1 is "No you will do no such things" or something like that. You would pick the second dialogue option then.

There is a cave right behind Sazza's cage and you can sneak her through without having to lead her through the grove.

[@ActivelyVacant]

First time I found Sazza I was actually coming from the cave back into the grove. We just U-turned back out once we talked the tieflings into leaving her. Just be careful about the exploding flowers along the ledge.

[@CEDROU95]

Im just so glad someone else said it. Saving her for me was literally the easiest quest I had done till then.

[@aepstein824]

Even easier, fast travel immediately

[@krisspkriss]

Exactly! And save one of the druids from the grove by throwing him a health potion. And then there is the locked and trapped chest just beyond the last goblin you kill. When you leave, you encounter another short quest just outside the exit and to the north. I like that option.

[@sluggyboo]

fun fact: if you kill the strange ox in the grove because it gave you strange vibes, it locks you out of dammon's interactions to at least act two after he leaves the grove. That is apparently his ox and there's a line of dialogue claiming it is responsible for saving his life on the way to Last Light Inn.

[@youngbane6799]

Wow I literally did this a hour ago randomly so now I’ll never see him for Karla ?

[@TheBjornwilly]

I killed the ox, but still met Dammon and had him help Karlach at Last Light Inn.

[@spliter88]

I would add to this the iron flask. You can just throw it to spawn a 120HP Observer that will fight anything in its vicinity, very usefull for a certain incredibly annoying part of act 2.

[@Deusaga]

Wait that spawns an observer? WTF? Is it a one time use I take it? I thought that was trash and probably sold it :/ I've recently learned to never sell anything in this game if it has even a hint of a unique name

[@Krouton_]

For the Quasit; you can in fact 'use' the scroll and keep it as a non spell pet summon. You just need to be spec'ed into either wizard, sorcerer or warlock (1lvl is enough). Once the Quasit is summoned through using the scroll - talk to it and select all the dialogue 1 options. Then successfully talk to the mirror on the wall - enter the room and talk to the Quasit again - it'll call you a uh... rude name for being a spell caster then grant you permission to summon it whenever you want! - even if you spec out of the above listed spell casting classes

[@Gradly]

Does it work if you disguise yourself as one (wizard etc)?

[@Krouton_]

@@Gradly Don't believe so - You actually need to be spec'ed

@@aerynstormcrow aw that sucks... - haven't done a dark urge playthrough yet. Good to know

[@dnaharis7037]

Dammon also sells +1 hand crossbows, usually see one after meeting him and long resting. Recruit the bard from withers, steal her hand crossbow and now your rogue/astarion is OP. Dammon will restock another +1 hand crossbow randomly after long rests too. Those extra attacks pre lvl 5 are beast

[@yhnujmik987]

Damon will change his inventory whenever one of your characters gains a level. So, go there when the party can level, do one character, check his inventory, if not the next character, etc. I entered the grove at level 1 and picked up two hand crossbows +1 (I did that before going to the withers ruins).

[@jonathanwessner3456]

summoned creatures are good for distracting enemies. Many of them will attack the summons instead of the characters. I use "summon Elemental" scrolls to protect the Druid in act 2

[@harveylin3548]

Found out you can use one of those creatures to kill all the stoned Drows before the Spectator surprises the party in the Underdark, even without using stealth.

[@DarkDoggD]

If you save the horned blue girl in the druid grove with a Paladin of the ancients (paladin options in dialog) - you'll get a oath spell from her later in act 2 + a shadow blade ring. If you talk with the Myconids as a Druid of Spores, after the quest murdering one of them and a skill check you'll get a buff + reward. Yes I'm a Paladin of the ancients\Druid of spores =)

[@nathanfivecoate5848]

I just finished as a Thief Rogue 4/Beast Master Ranger and go both of those

[@DarkDoggD]

@@nathanfivecoate5848 also you get an Oak staff as a reward for peacefully confront Kagha (get letters from swamp). Use the druid or paladin ature options. There is A LOT of staff for this clown build in the game, but I like it =)

[@yeahr1ghty]

These are just quest rewards anyone can get regardless of class. Just because your class has a dialogue option, doesn't mean it changes the outcome. Usually outcomes are the same and optional dialogue is just for flavor/RP. Would also say neither of those things are remotely secret, they are just regular quest rewards most people not rushing the game will get

[@bobsamurai]

you don't have to accept the hags hair to get the wand, you can kill her, but if you're going to be evil (obtaining the zombie requires "evil" dialogue options) you may as well get the hair too

[@darkmatter32x]

Best one I discovered. If expose Kagha conspiring with shadow druids you get a trinket where your weapons gets coated with poison if healed. Amazing if you use weapons.

[@ernestisom5878]

I'm happy I figured out most of these myself except for 2 or 3 of them because I keep restarting trying to figure out what class and story options I want to stick with.

[@Kiki-ny7qr]

In act 1 I played as a druid and turn into a cat then meowed near the brain mob thingy that will attack if you’re in sight. After I meowed they came towards me and they just follow for a bit before fleeing 😂. (I can transform since I leveled by killing the red dude with sword and the mindflayer on the ship)

[@mob2393]

For the goblin in the Druid grove, you can evade the guards by jumping to the place kinda behind the cage she was in. If you pass the perception(I think) check, you discover a door, which leads to a cave where some goblins are about to kill a Druid? Your goblin “friend” and those invaders have a small interaction, but I advise those who go this way to let the goblin hide, cause you’ll fight those invaders, and the goblin dies pretty quickly…

[@TsujiCross]

I don’t know if other classes/subclasses get anything similar, but reading the Necromancy of Thay book as a Sorcerer gives you the chance to “magically attune” with the book, prompting much more easily passed Charisma checks with lower DCs than the usual high DC Wisdom saving throws

[@murkypotato6410]

I took my time exploring in my first playthrough and found Halsin had already broken himself out. Never met him. Didn't even meet anyone at Last Light Inn until they were all zombies because I killed the Nightsong as Shadowheart. I missed A LOT this game is crazy.

[@backpackingtony1779]

During your escape from the nautaloid you’ll see a battle with Commander Zhalk and a Mind Flayer. Before the battle equip Shadowheart with the command spell and cast drop on Zhalk. If you succeed he’ll drop his Everburn Blade. Which is powerful early weapon well into mid game.

[@ShikairuNara]

I don't think I've seen anyone mentioning it but you can get Raphael's armor triggering the first cut scene keep someone in sneak away from the group and sneak atrack him during the cut scene he vanishes. Go to the mountain pass it'll take you to camp during this interaction toggle non lethal and beat him unconscious and loot him getting his armor. Takes awhile but it is end game level armor like the gith sword so with the build you can have two end game pieces of gear in act 1.

[@katelynkaboom]

I CARRIED THOSE BRAINS FOR MY WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH BUT DIDNT THINK THEY WOULD HAVE DIALOGE. omg lol.

[@michadybczak4862]

I carried them, and one of them even gave me a permanent boost to +1 INT saving throws.

[@FriendlyOne_]

Volo's eye helped me a lot with ambushes and Lorroakan Tower

[@SigmaGE]

So, you're actually missing a cool fact, The Necromancy of Thay, and Shovel, are related. If you take Shovel back to the basement where you found the book, he'll make a comment and becomes a repeatable summons for any class. I think you may have to get the Necromancy of Thay and read it far enough to get Forbidden Knowledge as well.

[@antongunther3977]

Dammon is the reason why an evil playthrough feels so shallow. Without him you end up missing so much content. Minthara is a good sub for Halsin, but there is not equivalent interesting character for Dammon in an evil/kill the grove playthrough.

[@gingergreenmashups]

doesn't he survive as long as the strange ox is alive?

[@antongunther3977]

@@gingergreenmashups When minthara tells you to kill all the people in the grove.... He's in the grove. If you bypass the quest and ignore it and head straight into act 1.5 or act 2 than the game assumes that the tieflings ALL DIED including Dammon.

[@rettbull9100]

Sazza can be lead through the cave that is just behind the cage on a ledge. Theres some goblins in there. I've never escorted her through with the goblins still alive, but it's a lot easier than walking her through the camp.

[@memyselfi8122]

There's a ice wand you can combine by 3 pieces . The dmg maybe is not that good however it's ICE! and everywhere on floor is water or blood so you can easly turn it to ice and knock down the enemy so he is vunerable to all dmg

[@hankshill71]

[@DiscipleToki]

A few points if I may. 1. You can escape with Sazza off the cliff to the left of her cage. 2. You do not need to get Ethel's hair to get the wand, you do need to save Mayrina. 3. If you choose to kill the Ogres you get a set Int to 17 which lets you dump Int on a Wiz and pump another stat up. 4. Never use Eldritch Squid powers, only good Illithid is a dead Illithid. 5. The Weapon you get for killing Boooal is better IMO. 6. Kill US they are a trash Illithid scum spawn and deserve death for existing. 7. If you choose to fight the Githyanki and kill the leader you miss out on some alternative options that are pretty important lorewise. Just in case someone did not know. 🥰🥰 💀🦑

[@mattgarrett2583]

Second marriage requires 2 actions to summon in combat.

[@lucasramey6427]

That's because it's a little bugged

[@amandapugtato8085]

There is a much easier way to sneak Sazza out of the grove... to the left of her cage is a brazier. There is a ledge behind there you can jump to where you can find a secret door. It leads to a cave that then leads right outside of the Grove. There are some goblins in that cave, I recommend killing them first, saving and healing their captive, THEN bringing sazza through. She leads you into the Goblin camp so it is easier to get in. The easiest way to get into the goblin camp, though, is to be a drow. They will just automatically let you in, no questions asked

[@djchriscaution]

another good sword is disarming the devil as you are escaping the illiath craft beginning. Also I didnt do it but saw the vid showing the owl bair egg can be hatched and used as a pet.

[@raulrodrigues2427]

About the Thay book in act3 - You can exchange knowledge from the Thay book for 2 points of any attribute in act3 you just need to talk to the Shars mirror that asks you to sacrifice one of your memories, if you choose the "Forbidden Knowledge" the mirror will be pleased and will offer you a new memory in exchange

[@lazarusfitness3892]

Don't ever do this. Offer the mirror any stat you want and then just use decurse. You keep the +2 with no downside at all. Don't trade a buff you literally can only get one way.

You can use “command: drop” safely from on top of the bridge to have Voss drop the legendary silver sword. However, the resulting fight and later voss camp encounter were severely bugged out. The fight with the githyanki they just eventually stood there and did nothing on their turns (probably more so because I kept pushing them off the bridge and the AI couldn’t process how to get back up). The Voss encounter he just was prone the entire fight and did nothing. But I had the sword roll ansur

[@daviru02]

They fix that now he no longer carries the sword. On his back he only carries the crossbow. You can get him to drop of the weapon. But the only weapon drops is across both.

[@Erydanus]

That worked for me. I sent Shadowheart in solo and had her do the drop command and reloaded until it worked. They focused on her and killee her very quickly. Then I sent my party's rogue in from the side with invisibility and he grabbed the sword and then just ran away and used invisibility to break off combat. Once he reunited with the party we just went to withers and had him resurrect Shadowheart. I did it two weeks ago on the PS5.

[@geoffchurchill5492]

if you don't have the gold but you still want to use the ogre s, use them against a really tough battle, like say the three goblin leaders, if the ogres do survive the battle Lump should be fairly easy to take out

Imagine 3 ogres just popping into the astral plane out of nowhere to monch on the most exotic meat they’ve ever laid eyes on

I learned that to my cost in my first playthrough! I kept the horn because I never ran into a fight in Act I that was difficult enough for me to need help (on Balanced, of course), and when I tried to bust them out in Act II, nothing. In my current playthrough, I figured I better use them sooner than later, so I called them twice: against Dror and his cronies, and against the goblins outside after that. Unfortunately, they’re not very tactical fighters and the goblins were able to chip away at them and kill all three. The good news is that Lump will still have the Warped Headband of Intellect in his inventory, so at least you get that!

Thanks for the tip. I was planning to use them on act 2 and 3. But I still have some tough fights in act 1 on tactician remaining, so perfect timing.
