It happens to me sometimes even on single player mode. Just close the game and reopen. To be able to select things again.

Explore Mason's Guild :-)

Free the fairy, you monster :-)))

do you know that you can use the shovel, in the zone where you fail the survival check? Maybe you don't do it for immersion reasons, but if you want you can try to find the right point

Love this game. Yesterday I played co-op with my brother and in the ruins at the beginning we failed the check at the door and went in and all 5-6 guys were waiting in the fire barrel room waiting in ambush. We snuck as far as we could and I had the idea to throw grease in the room in front of them and in the path to the door in hopes to light it on fire. Tossed it and it hit the perfect spot in front of the door and it triggered the fight 2-3 enemy got to go just before us and the doorman came in our room and then the brute of a man killing Asteron. The mage ran and slipped and then it was our turn. We ran to the switch and shut the door where they had to go through grease to open it which made all but 1 slip. We killed the doorman and brute while the others were trying to shoot the door and then positioned ourselves on both sides of the door and opened it again and trying to light it on fire by hitting the mage laying on the ground at the door and failed to get the fire to trigger. 2 more came through and then we shut the door after killing the mage. We then took them out and then opened the door finishing off the last one that was standing at the door. It was one of my favorite fights to date. I thought us or the enemy would light it on fire and then close them off while we retreated but the grease on its own was a lifesaver and managed to keep them at bay long enough to pick off one or two at a time.

Odd, my comment vanished. I wrote that the examine page of enemies only shows passives, buffs, and debuffs. It never shows active abilities because that would be way too much, just imagine a mage. You've seen that many times before, so you shouldn't assume an enemy can't cast spells just because the examine page doesn't mention it

Tbh this fight is quite annoying! Mainly cus they can revive each other. The fight however becomes easy if you prepare, like separating the 2 groups and quickly taking out the shepherds . I quite enjoy this fight since its challenging :) The Ghast has stench cloud and the Ghouls can paralyse which can make this interesting. There is ofc this option of skipping this fight as you could use invisibility to pass them and go to act 2 but much more enjoyable fighting it! I suggest caution in the creche and they have proven themselves as frankly quite rude to the party.

1:13:19 to prepare the fight, I would let Tal'quir put the ritual spell _Enhanced Leap_ on both of you, then cast the 'minor illusion' and go into turn-based mode. this way both Gith have 10 turns vastly more free movement to get to the Death Shepherds and avoid melee with the ghouls. edit: btw, why do you 'hate' taking long rests? are you short on supplies? you probably have more than a 1,000. or is the bunk too soft for your Gith?

1:04:36 why not consider simply pressing _disengage_ and move away without triggering opportunity attacks?

55:09 'yeah, that's about right. I mean we are not bloodthirsty *but* we are very much in tune with the Githyanki way.' *[-25 attitude with Embreis]* 😲😦 why not outright kill that Varsh Ko'kuu a minute ago? he takes on the creche's captain and wants to give the egg a chance against 'the Githyanki way.' the Githyanki way is bloodthirsty and if you follow it you are prone to act bloodthirsty too. these notions are mutually exclusive. there is piling evidence in front of you that the Githyanki way has become a belief system which tolerates no deviation. most Gith seem brainwashed into blind obedience. your Tal'quir is a sage. how serious is he about critical thinking? does he question things? Lae'zel calls all mention of Orpheus heresy. the mistreated boy in front of you had his name on his lips. do you stomp out everyone mentioning Orpheus too?

18:40 'what choice do we really have though?' Lae'zel could throw some white daggers, spears, axes, torches. I'll bet your inventory comes with quite a collection of throwing weapons, probably even includes the _Returning Pike_ . 😉

8:50 this looks like you have several options (switch off more lights): maybe consider using your Githyanki Mage Hand (it's even the superior invisible variety) and grab your trident with it, bringing it closer to your spot and equip it before the fight - then use the hand to throw water bottles at her making her wet - for your ice arrows or frost spells. or start combat by throwing one of auntie Ethels conconctions on her: _Lost Time_ , _Missing Pets_ or _Insanity's Kiss_ 🤪 or #3: try to lure the wolves away from her using _Minor Illusion_ and dispatch them first

6:27 'we really need to up our intelligence though.' I can see only one viable way to do this without changing your character completely (even when remaining a fighter). summon Lump somewhere on map #1 (e.g. in the underdark), let his group take a beating for you (ideally) and refuse to pay him. then solve the ensuing 'problem' and voilà, one of you can raise their intelligence to 17. 🤭

1:08:00 You need to convince her through dialogue, but the option only becomes available later.

Dude oh my god. I wished so much there was content exactly like yours. Finding this channel was linke finding something I craved and thought to be inexistent. Love the stuff, keep it up :)

That immersion went away really fast when you tried to casualy force feed Lae'zel a tadpole lol In all seriousness, you gotta prepare for those fights man, it's honour mode and you picked a niche class that people usually just dip in for the bound weapon, drink some potions, buff yourself with some spells from scrolls like magic weapon or false life. I know it can be frustrating but it really isn't on the game this time and if you struggle with this little fight, you will have a terrible time with the inquisitor.

Excellent video!! I share your frustration with regards to the Death Shepherds, they are an extreme annoyance. Your basic strategy is correct, they need to be downed on the same round, but not necessarily the first round. I am not sure I agree that examining an enemy should provide all the possibe characteristics. I suspect Larian is incorporating an element of tabletop DnD where you are rather ignorant of an enemy until you face them in a battle. The knowledge gleaned can then be utilized when one faces a similar enemy in the future. One clarification, your statement that you have investigated the enitre monastary proper (not including the creche) is incorrect. There is one area you have yet to explore. Continue your excellent progress. Good luck. Cheers

Are you gonna play Victoria 3 again soon with the new update?

Nope sorry, the debuff on lae'zel is permanent, at my knowledge

1:25:14 iirc, one of the blue framed weapons in your inventory is the _returning pike_ . maybe use this until you can fetch the trident. on a side note: if you forget to bind your throwing weapon, why not throw some of the javelins, axes, daggers or spears in your inventory? the heavier they are the more damage they do in general. anyway, that shield spell was doing a lot of heavy lifting in this episode. 🙏

I did warn you that Lae'zel might be resistant to going tadpole. This is a surprisingly tough fight. But as you realised you need to kill both Death Shepherds in order to stop them from reviving everyone. Though I do think that the revived ghouls and ghast have a little less power each time. AOE attacks are probably the answer. If they are on their backs they can't attack you. Best of luck with the next attempt.

Want a hint for the undead encounter? Look behind the shield: Pull the encounter apart with minor illusion. Preferably separate two shepherds. Far apart, then kill. So they don't have much chances for resurrection.

You're very amusing in your confidence about the inquisitor :-) You don't even know what that fight is. I'd say you need everything and then some for it, because it might end your run, it is a hardest fight in Act 1 on honour mode.

It's you who decided to do a blind playthrough in the hardest difficulty with only two characters 😂 you can't complain because it's hard. If you think the recent fights are hard, what are you going to do against act 3 big bosses lol. You have to convince Lae'zel before she accepts tadpole. She's the hardest to convince with her githyanki background by the way.

Don't you think force feeding Lae'zel a tadpole would be very out of character? You can convince her through the dialogue. Which I feel would be very out of place for this run composition.

the undeads of the crossway are too dark when in the shadows of the trees ;)

Your frustration is all on you, mate 😂 Stop projecting your expectations on the game, it behaves as it always did :-) It's only fault is that it has beaten you :-))

oil of sharpness does not overcome resistance to magical damage. The dead shepherd is resistant to both magical and not magical damage. So it is not useful. More: when you throw a weapon, coating doesn't work and sometimes disappears from the weapon :(

These videos of yours let me relive my first times through the game. Great fun!

1:04:06 as long as we have the artifact, right, we are valuable and the Gith will help us to get rid of the tadpole.' you still believe that? after you saw how their 'purification device' works. you even suspected an ulterior motive for the contraption's purpose. do you expect the Gith have other means to free themselves from tadpoles? they hatch from eggs and as Lae'zel said they claim their first kill at the age of 10. they train rigorously and slit the throats of lesser opponents without a second thought - including other Gith. it seems a single life is not worth much in Gith society.

This fight is obviously designed to be annoying with a good potential of becoming miserable :-)) I love it. I struggled with it in my first playthrough a lot with a full party :-) Playing solo it can be challenging

46:28 '...she will do double damage though, right?' is she wet or otherwise at an disadvantage? she burns. why would lightning do double damage on her unless you land a critical hit? 🤔

33:52 did you notice that nice brazier above those four Gith? or the barrel right next to the door? was it filled with a flammable liquid? luckily, both of your iniative was high enough to go first before all the other Gith. one of you could shoot down the first brazier and maybe even the second brazier too to get the doctor. one could grab the barrel and place it in a more useful spot to set it on fire - if it is filled with alcohol or oil. 😏

Kinda sad that Lae'zel got weakened by the machine. I wonder if there is a cure for it other than the filthy parasites.

49:31 You guys shooed away scratch but take this ugly one :(((

12:49 what, first you avoid making a decision and let Lae'zel answer in Gith dialogues - twice in a row and then you just let her step into that totally unknown and suspicious looking contraption? it's one thing for Gith wanting to get rid of the ghaik tadpole asap but would your sage Gith not ponder a bit about the implications? if not, why not let him go first? too risky? 🤨entertain the audience and let us know your thought process when making decisions like that. 🙂

Glad I found this series. I have Vic 3 in my library for a awhile but I was too afraid to play due to how complex the game mechanics were. It was overwhelming and so I kind of just stopped playing, but after seeing the release of 1.8 and the DLC decided it was time to face my fears and actually learn to play.

I like that you showed nuance in your playthrough. Too many confuse immersion or roleplay with racism/generalisation.

Don't forget to take the egg after you finish the Crechè!

"there was no fire there". The 3d objects probably made it hard to see but the tooltip on your cursor did say "fire" when you moused over the location you were going to jump to. Not getting the extra action from bloodlust is normal because it was the sneak attack damage which killed the enemy. Any deathblows delivered by the player itself doesn't trigger it: sneak attack, crushing damage from gravity (e.g. when you throw an item from a high position), collapsed mind, etc Bloodlust is already OP enough as it is, so that's fine

It will be interesting to see how long you can put up with the Pixie swearing at you. I have no idea how long she keeps going for.

Congratulations on your victory over Karnis. Excellent tactics and impressive win. With regards to your concentration mishap, in all fairness, the game issued 2 warnings. In the haste spell description that displayed when hovering over the bow, it stated in red letters "casting haste will end concentration on wall of fire". Secondly, as you were casting the spell, prior to confirming the spell, the phrase "casting haste will end concentration on wall over fire" was displayed over your characters head. Otherwise, a brilliant fight!!

The battle vs kar'niss was "smooth" because of your proper kiting. You denied to your foes every possibility to attack (except for kar'niss retaliation). Don't low your guard 😉

Good job with the drider 👍

RELEASE THE PIXIE! SMH

Bad decision with pixie. Nothing dramatic but it is much better to let her go :-)

Congratulations! Drider fight can be very annoying, his AI wasn't working in full here though, so you got a bit lucky. But your approach was sound, so you would have killed him anyway :-)

You can only have one Elixir active at a time. Bloodlust overwrote Vigilance.

Commenting for the algorithm. I hope you make more Vic 3 vids.

Finally, a (mostly) up-to-date tutorial that doesnt just dump info on you with little to no context.
