Took Shovel all the way to the end.

Yeah, Shovel is mega-useful, although I think Us edges her out in terms of combat benefits. I REALLY wish you could give Elixirs and grenades to summons as well, since I would have her chug Elixir of Barkskin to improve her AC and then just have her chuck Alchemist's Fire, Smokepowder Bombs and Grease Bottles at foes. XD (And really, a Quasit would be smart enough to use those!)

[@raymurray3401]

Honestly it would be interesting to see shovel use grenades and such. I mean heck it wouldn’t be to difficult to balance it either as she’s a quasit which is a type of imp like demon they could make it so anytime she throws a grenade you have to succeed a saving throw or else she’ll “accidentally” throw it at you instead.

In the Grymforge there are actually 4 mimics hiding off by a harper drop (right near that duergar that loves rocks) so you can have your mimic servants almost off the bat! Also! With Kar'niss you can still have that interaction with him, sending him off into the shadow cursed lands, with the harper ambush by your side. Just don't tell everyone to attack and instead make your presence known and you'll have the same dialogue tree, but if it goes wrong you'll still have the harpers right there to back you up!

Just did the drider pet after watching this video. Some things I learned, he starts off with half health and the only spell that heals him is aid which only does 5 hp and can’t be buffed by equipment. I just hired a paladin, used aid 3 times, dismissed him, and repeated to get him to full health. Also, if you save and reload he becomes hostile and you won’t have the uses of your control undead, which means you need another option to CC him long enough to get to camp, long rest, and then regain control. Just make sure you always do your saves somewhere away from town.

The deva is kinda dookie for the level you get it at though unfortunately. Only one attack, low chance to hit, and no ranged options. If he hits he can hit like a truck but it's unlikely. And if you don't need to revivify party members he's just strictly worse than a myrmidon or elemental summon for the same spell slot. He is neat to have though.

Lump has a crown of intellect on him though that raises yours to 18

[@desired397]

10:45 all this is possible even if you have the harpers with you, there is an option to basically tell them you will handle things, and then you just walk out alone. Just did it a couple days ago, though I can't remember right now if it was a skill check type thing to convince the harpers.

[@eladorable5291]

Excellent compilation, thank you!!

[@Toyhouze]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@anatharone1221]

I did not know that animating spores could be used on so many creatures, even going from act 1 to 2 for them, I always just used them on Hook Horrors. The more you know.

[@eiramg]

The ogres are not a one time summon? Dang it! I ve been resisting the urge to summon them to keep them for the final fight X'D

[@nathanokeefe1027]

There is already a mimic in the underdark. I believe it's at the end of the path, after you take the boat.

[@SlothinAintEasy]

I will never risk scratch outside of my camp. Goodest boy must be protected at all costs.

[@Cyb3rM1nd]

While summoned as a familiar he cannot die, his summon will just end but he will be back in camp alive and well. He can only die when killed in camp.

[@cixelsyd40]

If you are including temporary companions you could have mentioned that Flesh that is summonable in Shar's Gauntlet

[@TG-nd9rj]

Before they nerfed summons, I had a level 11 necromancy wizard who spawned Danse Macabre, Fork, an Earth Elemental, 2 ice mephits, and various skelly bois ***all at once*** in the factory. It was a good time. She also had the Raven Gloves but I never used them.

[@barbablanca2845]

what nerf?

[@ntgrv]

Instant like for starting the list without an introduction

[@mason157402]

I called the Ogres at the goblin camp and they died. They just soaked up the damage long enough for me to kill the goblins. But they died pretty fast which was annoying.

[@joswald9160]

The pressure plate by the door just turns on lights :D if you don't want to disarm you can also place a skull on the pressure plate the book is on.

[@sonicducktheinoccent]

God i want animating spores on circle of spores druid

[@f.m848]

Oh, I'm definitely putting a wizard level on my warlock to get that Deva summon.

[@DanakarEndeel]

Very cool. Never knew about that Wraith lantern or the Deva scroll.

[@jaredcousino5115]

I got the ogres on my team in my first playthrough. They were useful in helping me beat Nere.

[@TheSpectacularNobody]

If youre having trouble carrying corpses to glut there is a stool at the top of the arcane tower that if you sit on then break you get the club of giant strength putting you at 19 when equipped

[@GrimDrago]

10:34 This is probably one of the very few times I've heard the term "unalive" where it didn't sound completely stupid.

[@Cherriiclips]

the way the harpy glided down got me🤣

[@themobiustripper]

"and eventually learn..." YEAH THANKS FOR TELLING ME HOW TO GET THAT SUMMON

[@portpebble]

THANK YOU. Finally…. we can collect them all!!! And perhaps, one fateful day, we might find a way to PET THEM ALL!!!!!!! HUZZAH

[@alessandrogarofalo9951]

13:58 "This weapon is really rare and hard to get because WHO THE F*CK USE THAT HORNY MF OF WYLL?" 😂

[@Blynat]

Fun fact "Us" died in my first play through and he was still in act 2 waiting to come on an adventure.

[@Blynat]

So basically I think he xan be killed in act one but you have to free him not harm him and then he CAN be killed by a cambion and still show up. You just need to NOT be the one that kills him in act 1.

[@facepalm2497]

Might have just been me, but I used Knock on both of the doors in the sundries vault and didn’t solve the puzzles for them at all

[@scottnunnemaker5209]

One fun thing aboit the ogres is you can also just promise to pay them right from the start, and then tell them you’ll pay more later, and if you ever think you are tired of it you just make sure they die in the next combat you summon them into and you are debt free. Also, you can get the second marriage thing even if you fail to save the girl.

[@jenniferlunney1479]

You can get into the vault in Ramazith towers much easier by opening a portal in the office to the left of the portal leading up to talk to Lorroakan.

[@cfehunter]

FYI you can get in and out of the mindflayer colony without fighting Kethric. There's an entrance in the tower to get there early before the boss fight.

[@lisyxdoll2564]

Be careful when throwing things with Scratch around outside of combat when u r questing with him in ur party. He will fetch just about anything u throw and it goes back into ur inventory 😂😂 Threw a bucket once and he fetched it, I was cracking up! I think I also threw a severed arm and head and he fetched that too (I forgot he was with us when I did that 🤣) He wasnt my companion either, he was my husband's toon's summon but he still fetched stuff my character threw 😅

[@efaristi9737]

15:26 It's a bit weird, no ? To summon a celestial with a spell found in a book about the Seelie Court.

[@TheEthanEdge]

well the Seelie Court were deities, most if not all deities have celestial servants.

[@efaristi9737]

@@TheEthanEdge Wouldn't they prefer celestials Eladrins, who are some kind of feys, to Deva ?

[@TheEthanEdge]

@@efaristi9737 they could yeah, I was just going off the fact any neutral or good aligned god had deva.

[@annesilverblade]

You can also find 3 mimics in the grymforge area (it's quicker/closer than moonrise)

[@TacticalCastle]

LOL!!! So many of these are HILARIOUS!

[@mustardseed28]

The way I got the necromancy of Thay book was by using mage hand to throw it out of the cell (it somehow fits through the bars), the poor mage hand then got obliterated by the explosions. So if you don't have anybody who can use thieves tools or in my case where i just didn't know how to lockpick or disarm traps, its a way to get necromancy of thay without any skill checks to obtain the book.

[@grimmypoo-3192]

Us ended up getting 5 crits in a row on Myrkul during my friends and I honor run. Us actually carried so hard during that fight.

[@Apfeljunge666]

thats an interesting way to get into the vault. I usually just go through Librarian's Office.
