- "If you’re playing in Honour Mode, expect a few extra surprises in the form of new Legendary Actions for bosses, and maybe a bit of extra trouble from a certain Mound. Good luck with that one."
Heh, yeah tell that to our boy GALE OF WATERDEEP!
Patch 6 is live in Baldur's Gate 3 which means more legendary actions on the game's most brutal way to play it, HONOUR MODE. Can we complete the entire game using WILD MAGIC?
Probably not tbh.
"fun" fact! if you were romancing gale and he did the explodey, the illusion says "i can see why i loved you" :)
that is the least fun fact I've ever heard 😭😭😭
sobbing. actively
"To think i chose godhood over all this" breaks my heart everytime I hear it
This fact was not fun. I am not okay. Thank you I think?
i was already crying JUST from "how fortunate i was to know someone like you" and then i scroll down and THIS is the first comment...i'm not ok. damn you, you pathetic wizard, i love you so much bb
Fun fact for the Shar trials. As long as you get the first orb for the elevator, you can just cast knock on the big door. You don't need the 3 other orbs if you're wanting skip the trials
You don’t even need that one orb, if you stand in a very specific spot on the broken stairs that lead to Yurgir, you can cast feather fall and jump through a gap straight to the area that needs 3 orbs, then knock the door and boom. I personally like to the the self same trial for the ring anyways and Yurgir for Xp and if I help him for his help with Raphael later
THANK GOD
That's hilarious that Gale tries to blow himself up if Orin impersonates him
Nearly gave me a heart attack but definitely found time to laugh about it later.
Wait, he does what!? Gale is who she kidnaps in my run, but she didn’t do that joke. How did I miss that?
She pretended to be Halsin and hurt Scratch in my playthrough. I’m going to eviscerate her for that alone
@@BNOBNO14 Did you see Gale!Orin in the sewers or did you get the camp cutscene?
No one in the party needs to become a mindflayer, if you side with the emperor he’ll server as the mindflayer and if you side with Orpheus he can be persuaded to become a mindflayer without a skill check
"Jaheira Jaheira 💃"
Hips don’t lie 💃
Played 2 Honor Modes, kept 1 character off of the elevator in Shar's Gauntlet each time, just in case
The shar glitch almost killed me, and in the final part of act 2 I had to play a character down because of the elevator glitch. I wish they'd put all their resources into fixing that crippling glitch, over the ammount of time they've pumped into fixing a gold glitch that doesn't effect anyone who doesn't want it to effect them.
The elevator bug is intolerable. It has existed since launch and still hasn't been fixed. In my first honor mode run it happened at the mind flayer base of act 2, that time I managed to salvage it. The second honor mode run I softlocked at Shar's gauntlet like what happened on the video, that time I just forced the game to shut down without saving and reloaded an older save. I don't regret cheating when I'm about to lose a run to a bug like that
@@exantiuse497Maybe I'm misremembering, but I could've sworn the elevator glitch wasn't a thing for the first few patches? I wanna say it started becoming a thing after patch 3 or 4.
My head cannon for why sorceres can’t learn from scrolls is that they can’t read because I just find that funny
wizards: "I read hundreds of books for decades to unlock my powers of the arcane. I am unstoppable in combat and unmatched in my craft!"
sorcerers: yeah I never learned how to read, but I can cast a pretty sick fireball if you want
@@beelzebub7221 lol 😂
@@beelzebub7221Yeah sorcerers are the cool guys at a party who have no idea why they are there but are happy with it anyway. At any moment their magic could kill 67 people around them or cure cancer, and they still show up like "pff fuck it, whats goin on? 😎" Before casting horrors beyond comprehension
I mean, that seems right. You give everything to a kid and they'll turn stupid and use charisma to attack or whatever the fuck. We should study for our powers to truly understand how to use them, how to achieve perfection.
@@El_chara you one of those "wizards"? from the college?
Counterspell is only rng if the spell it's against is a higher level spell , if it's the same level or lower it's guaranteed
Ahhh, that makes sense. 🙏
If only it was written directly on the spell, right?
@@sunbleachedangel it is
@@MrMasterBoop if only
@@MrMasterBoop (that's the joke)
26:55 "every cast i spell" had no right to be that funny
That elevator has ended more Honor mode runs than any boss
I'll definitely be feather falling past it from now on lmao
Had the shadow sanctuary platform elevator thing drop me and one of my 2 friends into the abyss killing my friend, yet unfortunately I survived falling into the pit with 10hp and was completely trapped inside the wall at the bottom of the pit. Was forced to reload as travel to camp is disabled in the area and It was impossible to kill my character because the wall blocked all attacks from outside and anything I threw from the inside phased through the wall and fell into the pit.
Yea it ended one of my runs
I have a clip of my entire party getting wiped on our honor mode run… except for our wild shaped badger shadowheart
I'm sure someone mentioned this, but Evasion is a rogue class feature, not some random buff that anyone can get. So, not bad math, just a class feature. Great video, can't wait to try a wild magic run with my husband!
Also only works on Dex saves!
Also on Monks
Yeah that rant they went on was totally unwarranted, very few enemies have evasion and even then it only works on the Aoe dec save spells like wow they just see someone counter them and they just went off and then use that invalid critique to validate barrelmancy. Play how you want of course but don’t get mad over something when you can’t be ok bothered to do the research to see if it’s actually unfair or not
@@kinsan89yeah but monks suck
@@Vance731 have you even played Monk in this game? Or are you going off of dumb TTRPG stereotypes? Are you gonna say Ranger is a joke class next?
Hey nice video. Just wanted to point out counterspell is not rng. Your counter spell didn't work because it was casted at lvl3. The drider casted a level 4 spell.
Thanks for watching!
The wiki says “Nullify another creature's spell as a reaction. The spell must be 3rd Level or lower. If it is higher, you must succeed a Check to nullify it, the difficulty of which is based on the spell's Level.”
Succeeding a check means rng.
It's rng if the opposing spell is a higher level than the level your using then it's rng
@@Hanasitt Ahhh, I see!
@@JoystickJournalYT But if you have a higher level counterspell it is a guarantee. CS is base level 3, but can be upcast like most spells. If you were higher you could upcast to level 4 counterspell and guarantee nullify his sanctuary. Kinda hard to tell what spell level is being cast though. If it is an upcast low level spell (say a fireball upcast to level 4) then the little popup will show a little arrow when you get the notifcation to counterspell, but if the spell is outright a higher level spell that is not being upcasted I dont know how to tell what level it is.
@@graceasmr2312 That's crazy because the bg3 wiki says "Casting this spell at a higher level grants no additional benefit."
so they must just be full of SHITE.
19:13 I had a heart attach! I couldn't imagine the running ending like that 😭
Always use only one person to hit the elevator!
That's how my first honor mode run died
Nice video! I had the Problem with Karlach aswell until i realised that you need to give dammon 1 infernal metal in act 1 before the big gathering in your camp. And at that time you specifically need to take the prompt that you've taken your all your courage to tell her you like her. Then you can kiss her (or at least try) and progress to a full romance in acts 2 and 3. If you fail to take the right dialogue in act1 its just gone. Super sad in my Opinion but thats just how it works.
Everytime i hear withers say, "To you" it makes the good aligned playthrough worth it. Gives me chills
Someone probably answered that question already, but at 15:00 you are wondering why you didn't Counterspell his Spindleweb Sanctuary. In BG3 as well as DnD, if you try to Counterspell an enemy, it only automatically succeeds if the targeted spell is equal or lower the Spell level you casted Counterspell, but you have to roll if the targeted spell is higher than the level you used. When you hovered over Spindleweb Sanctuary, it said it was a 4th level spell and Counterspell is a 3rd level spell. So since you casted at a lower level than him, you needed to roll a 14 (10 + target spell level) to cancel his spell. Otherwise Counterspell would be too powerful if you could just cast it at 3rd level and cancel 9th level consistently.
This definitely proved that you should enhance leap, feather fall and knock on the door in Shar's Gauntlet. Bloody hell.
Will for sure be my method of travel in Shar’s temple from now on.
@@JoystickJournalYT Wrote the comment mid through. Thank you for making this. You are both incredibly entertaining and good at narration. I'm trying not to cry at that ending. Beautiful story. Thanks again.
13:11 - that Gith lady looks… happy? at you intimidating her? That tracks for those psychos lol.
Highly recommend alert/initiative potions and gear in honor mode. In BG3 initiative is a d4 compared to a d20 like on tabletop so a flat bonus like the +5 alert gives is a godsend for ensuring you can go first.
Hey guys, you don’t have to storm the whole castle for Gortash ! If you jump down from rivington’s side and go left, you access scaffoldings that lead you straight to the top without having to clean all the chaff ;)
Karlach has romance has a couple bugs in it btw. In act one you need high approval before the first fix then immediately go to camp to talk and long rest. You have to pick the bottom option saying that you still can’t touch her. The bug continues in act 2, when you repair her again you need to kiss her and immediately long rest again. Fortunately there is a chance for it to come back when long resting after killing myrkul but before going to act 3. It’s very annoying
Karlach tried to be the cool kid that repeats from someone and everyone laughs but no one can steal gale his show he was th star in this! (and ur guys wildmagic)
Wild magic sorcerer is my favorite class it’s how I did my first run. Easily the most fun class I think, turning your whole party into dogs and cats halfway through a boss fight puts hair on your balls.
That was quite the ride! I laughed, gasped, sat on the edge of my seat and then got all misty eyed at the end. Great video, awesome storytelling and so much fun. Awesome job!
You guys are quite funny watching this at 1:10am in California. Subscribed. On a side note no Shadowcute in your play through is sacrilegious.
I need friends to play this game with lol. You guys are having a blast here. :)
wild magic is legitimately one of my favorite things in the game. i have so much fun when i use it (even though it makes. Situations. Often).
fun fact counter spell is only a guarantee if the spell you're attempting to counterspell is the same level or lower than the spell you use to cast counterspell. The dryder was casting sanctuary at 4th level and you cast counterspell at 3rd, which means you then made a secret spellcasting roll that had to beat a 14 (10+lvl of spell being countered) that you failed.
Also, where y'all fell off the platform in the shar trial, that happened to me on my first playthrough ever. when i was on normal mode. Ever since then i leave one character at camp during that because i don't trust it
that glitch almost ended my honor mode run too, my guys got stuck but i managed to not. I thankfully had 1 short rest left and was able to get everyone across using that and fast travel points. My heart sank when I saw that all of you fell, Im glad you managed to survive and keep the run going!
15:00 counterspell is only automatic for spells of 3rd level or lower. Anything higher you need to cast it at a higher level or succeed at an ability check.
This was the first video i found from your channel and ill definitely be binging more :) great video
Sorry if this is stuff you already know but i had problems with karlach too. Once you get to Last Light Inn, long rest before you give her the second piece of Iron (You might even need to do ot twice). When i was trying both the scene with Mizora asking you to save her and wyll's dancing overwrote Karlach's romance options completely stopping its progression. Hope this helps :)
Evasion is only for dex saves. So you can cast spells that require con or wis to get around it👌 Great video!
Emperor: you can't defeat the Netherbrain cuz you it knows what are you going to do at all times
Wild Magic: are you SURE about that ?
Oh my god, the exact same elevator thing happened to me in like January of this year and it was like the maddest BG3 has made me. Nearly killed what would go on to be a winning Honor Mode Run.
As someone who is playing a half-orc vengance paladin in dnd, im glad to see this many relentless endurance's being used
Half Orcs RULE Honor Mode as far as I'm concerned
Anyways, amazing adventure!! This was so fun to watch. You guys are great
Im dying laughing 2 minutes in because that falling through the elevator at the temple of shar that you hint at happened to me and my friend the other day and we lost 2 party members there lol
I liked how this was two bros having a good time together.
I sobbed at the end of my first playthrough -- Gale sacrificed himself for me too. I didn't like him at first, but he grew on me.
Using an half orc sorc sounded really weird until you explained. That's really a good choice.
i see that you as well have been converted to the church of bale (barbarian gale). in my playthrough i did with him he threw half-eaten gnomes and mauled sheep at his enemies. truly the best character in bg3.
19:20 I knew exactly what was going to happen when I saw all 4 characters on the elevator at the same time. Never do that.
Evasion is working as intended. It always halves spells no matter what but if enemy succeeds the save, they just take no fucking damage. This is why end game rogues are IMPOSSIBLE to hit. They become literal Dark Souls protagonists and can phase through attacks
I've always laughed about how that's supposed to look when they are standing in an open space. Do they just... Grab the nearest enemy and use them as a shield? Dig a foxhole into the ground instantaneously?
So glad you guys won!
And while setting ourselves on fire! What?! 🔥
You can avoid the elevator and the trials if you just jump down through the broken stairs with feather fall and cast knock on the door.
Holy fk we might have to do this next time!
@@JoystickJournalYTyou may want to look up the stair part, it’s a suuuuuper specific spot you need to stand near where you meet Yurgir
Plot twist, the elevator was a sabotage and not a glitch from your developers truly LOL
Very well done, and a very well made video
Seeing you struggle with the Karlach romance, did you ever get her second upgrade/romance scene in Act 2?
Yup. She lead me on all game yet still wasn't willing to go all the way with a Half Orc.
@@JoystickJournalYT did you do the act 1 scene after the first upgrade where you cool her down and kiss her? and in act 2 after the 2nd upgrade did you get the scene where you sleep with her?
Even challenge runs get emotional and attached...10/10 game
It's hilarious that the only way to save Wyll from a fate worse than death is to launch him into the abyss followed by a salvo of bombs. 😂
Little detail about counterspell, it only automatically works on level 3 and below spells. you can upcast it to auto counter higher level spells but otherwise its a dice roll based on your spellcasting skill
The Dark Tendrils surge is why I usually have Karlach charge first, rage after.
I have no idea why “That’s for Wulbren!” Killed me at Myrkul
Elevator Boss killing everyone reminds me of old WoW.
Hey, fun thing i found, you dont even need to find the hidden switches for the robe and staff in Sorcerous Sundries. If you have a character with the 4th Lvl Ice Storm spell, you can cast them ove the bubbles and statues and it'll flip the switches, letting you grab them.
(Found this out after failing to detect them 13 times. Yes i save-scummed hahaha)
WHOA that is a GREAT find!
@JoystickJournalYT Yeah! I was getting frustrated because my team kept failing to find it, so I just had Gale attack the bubble in anger and the switch flipped! Easy loot :D
loved this and the previous vid too... excited for the next!
15:25 the same thing happened to me but in the tavern where you meet all your allies before the final battle and I was casting speak with animals so I could talk with my baby (owlbear) set everyone on fire. Luckily I wasn’t on honor mode so I loaded back cause instantly Dame Allian, nine fingers and everyone else wanted to kill me.
Stop making me want to start a new character, I already played too much😂
A new patch always warrants a new Playthrough!
Ha, I never am able to be satisfied with just 1 run, the temptation to do a new build and new character is always too much and that's how I end with 17 runs at the same time. XD And that's just the ones I currently have, not counting all the ones I deleted before. XD
at 15:13 counter spell is only rng if the level of the spell is higher based on your counter spell lvl. if its same or lower succeeds automatically. Also, the DC for the counter to work is higher based on the spell lvl difference
Btw, if u glitch off the platform like them and don't have any short rest available, u can respec any party member to a bard and use "song of rest"
I'm doing this with friends as well. We already know where all the enemies are and stuff, so during tough battles, we tend to send one guy to base just before and chill or have one guy have fantastic mobility to just dash away in case things go wrong lol
Gotta love whoever’s in Charge of camp reviving!
If your friend was the host you cant romance anyone.
You can actually make the Orin fight easy (especially on a dark urge playthrough)
By going up to her in one of her disguises and cast Contagion on her. Slimy doom I believe makes it so she is stunned when you hit her
19:20 oh my god i have had that happen to me before and im now always paranoid when activating that disc
One of my favorite wild magic lines was: Oh good, that means I can kill him ON PURPOSE.
Another awesome video!
I wish there were more wild magic subclasses, while not the best or most effective, are incredibly fun.
I could see, at least a similar system, working for monk, ranger, and paladin where maybe its an extra "gamble" option where you put in a spell slot (or ki point for monk) amd you get a random spell of level or up, but for all you know it could be a spell that harms or hinders you or a similarly slightly different system.
Imagine if they had the party limit begone mod and just recruited an entire 16 stack of characters / hirelings. Absolute, incredible, chaotic.
A locked safe that is EMPTY. haha... LMAO *diabolical laugh*
So much heart in this
So much heart in you
Throw barb and gloomstalker ranger builds are still OP in honor mode when using cloud giant elixirs. They could make it harder still.
After now beating the game with something as useless as wildmagic, I agree. They definitely could make it harder lmao
This is my favorite play through of this game. Only the best vibes.
I did something similar. Wild Magic sorcerer and barbarian, but each had a level in bard, one was named Bill and the other Ted, and together, they're Wyld Magyck.
Thank you sir, high effort video.
Thank you sir, for watching!
Gale blowing up like that is... *an* ending, i guess
Edit: I'm sorry, I meant when Orin does the disguise. I didn't know you were going to do the Gale ending
@@brandon0sh that Orin disguise really threw me for a loop as well 😂
i have never seen that elevator bug, now i have a new fear.
I remember in a previous playthrough I had Lae'Zel be a Wild Magic Barbarian and against the false Paladins of Tyr when she raged the wild magic caused thorns vines on the floor where my entire team was. XD I was facepalming so hard. Be sure that I had to redo that fight.
A cut honour mode playthrough? Dear heavens I am here for it.
That shar trial glitch is still very much a thing 2 months later lmao. Had that happen to me last week, not honor mode thankfully.
15:06 counterspell only works if the level of the counterspell is equal to or greater than the spell you're trying to counter. the spell was level 4, and your counterspell used was level 3, so it didn't work.
19:25 if it wasn't Orc, your run would've end?? Wow........
I know this is old but you can pickpocket withers for your money after reviving someone so it’s basically free
That gauntlet of shar moving platform killed my entire party several times in non honor mode playthroughs I haven't played Honor Mode yet but when I get to that point I'm definitely backing up a save cause it was annoying when it happened on a playthrough I can just reload on a playthrough that gets wiped that would unironically probably make me hate the game lmao
You can skip the entire thing
Honestly, you probably should have just done the gauntlet of Shar skip. (You can feather fall + glorious vault potion straight to the last door and then cast knock on it)
BRA I FOUGHT THAT SPIDER AT LEVEL 2 YOU TELLING ME I SHOULDVE BEEN 5
@@davidwhite1125 lvl 2 spider on honour mode with permadeath is just recklessness lmao
Can't wait for more. Do you ever plan to collab with fans/other little, tiny creators?
15:12 I'm sure someone already said this but counterspell is only RNG if the spell youre countering is a higher level spell slot than the slot you used to cast counter spell, so Spiderweb Sanctuary was cast at level 4 and your counterspell was only level 3
yeehaw
After a quick google-search, I can tell you why you didn't get the Karlach-achievement: you have to unlock a specific cutscene (I think it's dining with her in the Elfsong Tavern, at least that's what gave me the achievement). According to some comments it may be hard to reach this when earlier nightly cutscenes with her get "overwritten" with others, though I didn't have any trouble with it. I tend to do partial rests regularly until all the nightly cutscenes have played out though, so maybe try to do a few more long/partial rests next time you try this achievement, to make sure you get all the necessary interactions with Karlach.
9:28 wild magic gives a new meaning to the line kill me and you’ll be hunted down like a dog
favorite parts! 15:15 , 19:10 , 22:50 , 36:02
That fall glitch happened to me going towards grimforge and I lost my honor mode run there
This was really fun to watch!
Thanks for watching!
Can't wait for update 7 to release the NEW EVIL ENDINGS for us to do a pure evil run >:D
Only playthrough i ever watched twice. Great fun!
That damn lift in the gauntlet
"Every cast i spell may be my last".
Dame Bane there 24:49 get her off the Venom man. :p
you counterspelled with a lvl 3 while the spell is lvl 4 so it doesn't work, it has to be the same level or above to work
Now do it again with the mod that adds 80 other random effects.
did u know counter spell only works 100% of the time if u cast it at the same lvl or higher as the spell your countering so if u use it at 3rd lvl on a 4th lvl spell u gotta do a dc 14 check to counter it
15:06
It depends on the spells level.
You tried to counterspell lvl 4 spell with a lvl 3 counter spell
-doesnt understand counterspell
-gains new knowledge about counterspell
-has even less understanding about counterspell
i know the spell the descriptions in this game are sometimes questionable but counterspell is pretty clear on what it does, do people just not read?
