Sure, making Ketheric watch as you bring his entire family to ruin for a cheap laugh is cruel and evil, but making Thisobald chase you through a maze with the ground being electrocuted was the most diabolical scheme in this act, imo.

[@Fracture.Gaming]

It took SO long too. Shadowheart delivered a very high quantity of electric shocks and physical fitness.

[@ProjectMalywix]

Bro that's the most disrespectful way I've ever seen someone do Ketheric like. You straight up made him watch his whole family die again just for a laugh. That man ain't a villain after you're done with him, he a victim.

[@NotCthulhu]

0:05 just throwin that old man down the stairs was more merciful

[@thingamabob3902]

that was like the Crocodile Dundee scene: "You think you are a Villain ? THAT is a Villain !"

[@Toyhouze]

What you did to Ketheric makes you the new lord of murder lol

[@Fracture.Gaming]

Thanks so much! And I of course accept the position as lord of murder, I can’t wait to see what Bhaal thinks of the horrid fate I have planned for Orin!

[@SabethDrake]

I love both your content. My go too guys for bg3 facts and entertainment respectively.

[@VEKTOR_]

a standard dnd turn lasts 6 seconds, so that entire turn of over 30 actions from outside would have looked like a Quicksilver scene

[@Canadian_Zac]

I love to compare that with his True Strike one where it took something like 12 minutes in combat turn time to kill the elephant

[@НепТор]

That single turn... If I was a gm, I would end the session then and there

[@ZRFehr]

You wouldn’t get your actions back like this in the tabletop but yea lol

[@noecarrier5035]

If you get put into DD and heal somehow/proc death ward and return, you don't get your action points refreshed? Seems like a bug really.

[@nightcorefusion3884]

Thankfully this isn't how death prevention abilities work in normal D&D sessions. Most actions I've ever seen one person use was 8

[@noecarrier5035]

@nightcorefusion3884 How do they work? Do you not get your AP back? I don't know why that's happening and it seems like a bug. The effect doesn't come from anywhere in the rules as far as I know.

[@Canadian_Zac]

@@noecarrier5035 Its definitely an unintended bug In normal DnD, there's no exact set rules for how it functions But you'd either: Continue your turn from where you took the dmg if it says it stops you from going to 0 (like death Ward or the Half Orc relentless endurance) Or Lose the rest of your turn if it heals you after you go down (e.g. things like the blood of Lathander), since you went unconcious, then got back up But of course, always suspect to the GM, they could rule it continues or you lose the turn for either way. But i highly doubt anyone convinces a human GM that that means they get their whole turn again

[@bmetallaoui]

You not reviving the party after the mess up with the gith and turning Gale into a paladin of vengeance is why I love watching your videos.

[@HuggyBuddyOwO]

There's Dark Urge, and there's Evil Urge with what you did to Katheric. Bravo, Bhaal will be proud

[@Spiceodog]

What he did to thisobald was horrific

I managed to get Yurgir to kill the justiciar. Kicking and screaming. Built a high platform with bedroll bridges and dropped Yurgir -by picking up the bedroll under him- on the justiciar. My great deed went entirely unremarked upon, and the usual sub-contracting accusations occurred unchanged. I submitted feedback about it to Larian.

​@@Fracture.Gaming Can't rush perfection

[@somedudewithakeyboard5388]

For Future Reference Owlbears and other falling objects need to directly impact the thing you want them to do damage to. Yurgir and the Dark Justiciar weren't directly impacted, whereas Balthazar took a direct hit from the massive beast that was Owlbear Shart. The best way I have found to make this work is to have the Owlbear aim to land just behind what you want to crush

[@Fracture.Gaming]

Ahh shoot, so I would have needed to get them in a line probably to hit them all. That's really good to know though, thank you :)

[@somedudewithakeyboard5388]

@@Fracture.Gaming No problem. Also, just a thing I thought would be funny. If the Orin killing Gortash idea doesn't work out. I suggest having 3 Wizards use Wall of Stone to trap Gortash in a corner with an unarmed Barbarian/Monk Karlach with a Soul Coin(2d4 fire damage when unarmed). That way he gets to experience the full wrath of Baldur's Gate's most tiefling-shaped Golden Retriever

[@Estus1999]

@@somedudewithakeyboard5388 This is a Banger idea. Karlach would get her anger out and it would be amazing

[@nightcorefusion3884]

[@ryancarlson9680]

Shadowheart has hidden “nightsong points” that can be earned throughout act 1 and 2 and control if she kills the nightsong on her own or not. SlimX made a very good video about it. He also made another very good video about Gale’s crown score vs death score

[@shilohmagic7173]

when you said "I'm going to kill ketheric's entire family" I was very worried that included his daughter. I was right to be worried.

[@DaughterOfDrakes]

I feel like you could tell Oryn what you did to Ketheric and his family and she'd just go. "you... wow. I mean. I talk a big game and all, but wow. Yeahhh, I'm smart enough to know that you're the kind of crazy you don't fuck with, here's the netherstone, say hi to dad for me."

[@ShirtlessSimonCowell]

The only part that made me sad was losing Gale. Honestly I kinda feel like the Thorm family (outside of Isobel) is so cursed that any ending for them is better than continuing on

[@mackerelmafia2898]

Regarding the bugged Necromites at the top of Ketheric's tower: it's not because of your shenanigans with Ketheric! I know this because I experienced the exact same bug during my Honor Mode run, and that was my first time on the roof.

[@Fracture.Gaming]

Interesting... So its just a lil buggy then I guess, how strange!

[@South_Wall]

Idea for Next challenge boss fight: "steal" Withers from camp and use him as a thrown weapon against another two avatars of death(Gortash and Orin). Its totally his fail to give the power of death to Dead Three, and the whole story of BG3 is about how we have to deal with his mistake. Lets force Withers to clean his mess

@@Fracture.Gaming It was mine too! I actually grew up playing it asljhdbbg, it really is a shame how it all went.

[@starwarslover015]

Here is a suggestion you can use for a cheeky fight with Orin. Especially since its going to be 1 on 1 since you're the Dark Urge. Have Shadowheart or someone else with the spell Contagion with you when you go to the points where Orin can be disguised. As you talk to the person, once you figure out its Orin, switch to the other character and cast Contagion on her. (I suggest Slimy Doom for one of them as this makes it so she gets stunned when you hit her). You get two as far as I know cause she appears twice i believe. It makes the fight so much easier. (plus her failling the saving throws against the first contagion will reveal her second disguise.) I did that on one of my play throughs and I was giggling like a maniac the whole time.

[@tommyalonzo4269]

I was doin the ketheric fight one day and had Leazel built just as a boring ass fighter build, Ngl I did not even know ketheric could drop his weapon I assumed he was permanently armed, even though I’ve checked his buffs a million times.
