Baldur's Gate 3: 6 Hilariously Bizarre Quests We Did Instead of Dealing With Our Brain Tadpole
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 май 2024
- On one hand, Baldur’s Gate 3 is a serious, sprawling, epic RPG, filled with important quests and life or death choices. On the other hand, Baldur’s Gate 3 is a deeply silly game full of breathtakingly weird stuff. With that in mind, here are six of our favourite weird side quests we did instead of doing all the important stuff we were SUPPOSED to be doing. Enjoy, and subscribe for more Baldur's Gate from Outside Xbox!

Excuse you, Tara isn't a cat, she's a tressym AND a talented wizard in her own right, and Gale's best friend. She has never done anything wrong in her life and I love her. 😂
My favorite cat is the one living as a hardboiled detective in a noir.
@@aerthreepwood8021 So true and there are so many cats!
If she casts fireball on you, and you tell Gale, he like any cat lover will be like , Im sure she has her reasons XD
This sounds like something a catspirator would say!
As a matter of fact the simplest solution to that quest is to have Gale in your party when you find her. If he asks Tara very nicely she comes to the camp and stop eating those specific pigeons.
If you pick pocket the Djinn, you can steal his ring and win the wheel game, and he'll get pissed and send you to a world full of dinosaurs. But one of the best weapons in the game is in there.
You can also just buy it before he spins which ends in the same result
Or fart in hid general direction. Sends you to jurassic park...
Or get turned into a Wheel of Cheese.
@@EmerieosYou can also, as a bard, distract him as the wheel spins and he forgets to rig the spin. And then to the jungles of chult you go.
that's not actually a world of dinosaurs. he just straight up sends you to Chult, home of the most brutal Module in 5e
Oh my God, I had no idea Dribble's body parts were part of a quest,,, I kept finding pieces of him everywhere and just thought "damn, they really said fuck this clown in particular huh" Next playthrough I'll give him back to the ringmaster ^.^''''
You get awesome AF caster gloves from it too.
I love when you take Gale to see the tressym and he's like "TARA!!" I love that shes his best friend!
The only thing I don't like about Gale and the Tressym is they are a reminder of how things normally developed between a wizard and their familar we never will get to actually experience for ourselves in game.
There is a little Bluejay in the mountain pass who asks you to assassinate an eagle. That one was pretty funny
I knocked out the eagle, not wanting to kill them, and the bluejay came along and finished them off
@@ray_the_red8047That blue jay’s a dick. “Get back his nest”? That’s a damn eagle’s nest and always was, he just wanted to upgrade and to Hells with anyone who gets in his way.
@@ray_the_red8047 that's hilarious and brutal.
That's hilarious. Like, sure, I'm not gonna do it. But if the little guy wants to then I'm not stopping them from finishing off that eagle.
I didn't even know that, awesome!
Still like the part in Act 2 where you can draw a moustache on a portrait of the Gith Queen, only to find some poor soul trying to scrub it off a few minutes later.
I had Lae-Zel do that, even though it makes no sense it's really funny to see her deface a painting of her Queen
@@raspberryjam3724iirc there's even a bit of narration about it going against everything she would do, but it just feels so good or something haha
You should definitely take Gale with you to find the tressym!
Yeah he knows that flightful kitty cat
.... "stop it."
I would if i hadnt chopped off his hand and left him trapped in the portal 🤷♂️
by himself!
you get fully voiced dialog that way
Even better dialogue if he’s romanced, I think. You get a date invitation out of it
If you use Detect Thoughts on Zara, you can understand exactly what she's saying, and it's hilarious.
The mummy?
She gets really happy and excited when you reply to her too. It's great.
Wow, that painting quest with Oscar was Wilde!
I get it!!!
I love it, no notes
It can get wilder if you accept Mystic Carrian's quest.
Sadly, it's also the absolute worst quest in the entire game.
Well done, ser. Well done 👏
I strongly recommend the somewhat hidden Boaahl quest where you become the god of the fish people (Act 1 in the underdark near the tower)
Also the propoganda quest is funny to deal with both before and after you deal with the Steal Watch. Very dependent on whether you were nice to Dolly in Act 2.
Finally, honorary mention for driving off the mean kennel master near the post office. Not silly, but it's important those very good boys escape abuse
That pigeon quest is even weirder. The cat with wings is actually a friend of Gale’s. Also if you open the mail you find out the postmaster is into should shit and will try to bribe you to keep quiet.
That pigeon constantly has flashbacks to the trenches and skies of the Great (Pigeon) War
Never found Oskar in my playthrough, Jannath was having a very pleasant party/art show at her house. Sometimes not doing quests pays off!
He's hanging out hawking fake art with Nine Fingers' crew in the sewers in Act 3 otherwise, I couldn't find a way to free him or advance the story despite Lady Jannath going on about her missing love and finding notes from Oskar all over the house.
@@CinnamonQuillswell yeah, act 3 is, suffice to say, incomplete
I think you need to find him in Act one first, not sure what happens to him if you don't free him from the Zents
@vince4503 It's got nothing to do with that. If you don't rescue Oskar from the Zhentarim then he won't be there in Act 3.
That's not something being incomplete, that's just a different outcome.
A better outcome for Jannath tbh. I dont now if Oskar doenst deserve to be resuced, but Jannath for sure doesnt deserve this idiot. And nobody deserve his obnoxious quest too. Probably the single one quest i hated, and its stupid reward. >:(
The Strange Ox return as an ally at the final battle. Which I would NEVER EXPECT by the previous encounters.
Really? DANG, now I'm bummed that I killed him in Act 2!
We’re never given a true answer on what he is either.
Yeh we do, you can convince him to drop the disguise in act 2, it starts a fight with him and you learn he's an ooze.
@@sandythethird2292 except that’s not true because their are no sentient Ooze. They’re like Jellyfish or amoeba, barely capable of thought and barely considered alive.
@@Broomer52 Not entirely true. Look up Oblex's. Ooze's experimented on by mind flayers and a monster designed by a make-a-wish kid. Fucking creepy invasion of the body snatchers kind of shit.
I think that tressym might be happier talking to a wizard
Sneaking into the offices of the Baldur's Mouth Gazette to kill a poison pen story about your character and replace it with a fawning featurette.
I haven't really lived down the fact that I went in there to prevent them from painting me as the bad guy, but in order to do so I clobbered them all unconscious.... like a bad guy 😂
@@melanie_kay_6014 Minor illusions, flight, and invisibility potions can get you in safely if you're going for a more peaceful approach, and then you can just teleport out. You still have to pull some tricky stuff to not get seen as you leave invisibility from lockpicking, but it's def doable. Just be sure to not aggro the steel watchers in the basement either. Or do, they don't give any XP I think but it can be an enjoyable encounter and it's not like you're beating the people up.
The video skips an important detail that the "cat with wings" is Gale's "pet" tressym, Tara. Which makes the whole situation even funnier and more bizarre, since he's been referencing her the entire game up to that point.
Also the "Free the Artist" quest is even more convoluted than that. To get the torch you can do an errand for Mystic Carrion that involves running all over the city finding his zombies, and can even result in you killing Mystic Carrion himself.
Also the video skips over the most depressing part of the quest: Oskar was wracked with guilt that he caused the girl to, er, self-terminate. So wracked with guilt that he summoned her spirit to get closure because it was eating away at him.
Well...turns out the reason she ended her own life? Depression. Wasn't him, though she made her afterlife worse by trapping her in a painting.
I did the Dribbles quest last night and was pleasantly surprised when I spoke to Lucretious to hear she voiced by the drag queen Vinegar Strokes!
That’s why she does not sound like a black lady at all!
Yeah when I first heard her voice I was like wait...is that Vinegar Strokes!? Then I had a meltdown and had to tell my bf immediately.
In the scene that shows all the friends you've gotten from various groups (IYKYK), I was quite surprised and happy to see Strange Ox there. He was actually quite capable!
“once you carried me, now i’ll carry you!” excuse me a second while i cry
If I had a nickel for every time a game asked me to find a clown pelvis, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?
you absolutely have to explain this lmao
@@bokkie702 I think the other game this might reference is Chrono Cross, where to get the clown character Skelly who was blown to bits, you have to find all his bones which flew across the map, so pelvis, clown nose, arm, leg, ribs, skull, etc
@@rhysiareEverything I hear about Chrono Cross just makes me more bummed out that I can't friggin play it. I adore Chrono Trigger. I would love that game, I _know_ so.
You always remember your first clown torso.
@@whilenya4714 nobody prevents you from playing it mate. You can if you really want
One of the best items in BG3 is the mace from the cursed tax collector. Sneak some money into their pockets and Gortash, Orin, Kethric and even the dragon can be one hit killed easily. But most times I prefer to kill them in real battles. Much more fun!
I love the companions reactions to being forced to go on stage with Dribbles. Astarion's will always be my favorite though.
8:58 All the furniture is floating
Andy: Let's explore this mansion. Maybe we can find evidence of some paranormal shenanigans!
That's not just a cat with wings, that's Tara!! Gale would not be happy
That is an arrogant fleebag with wings
The Kuo-Toa in the Underdark. That may have been my favourite encounter of the entire game.
Can you just point me to where I can find that one? ^^°
“When are they going to get to the fireworks factory?”
A few moments later
*sobbing* “STOP! STOP! He’s already dead!”
I missed the Strange Ox appearing in Act 3 thanks to Dark Urge-ing it in Act 2 right after it showed the dead bodies.
As for the Dragonborn butler, if you are a dragonborn yourself you get to call him out on the swearing that he did in Draconic.
You get the best set of rewards killing him in act 2.
Getting him into baldurs gate just has him turn up for the final fight but you can absolutely do without him.
@@Reverendshot777what do you actually get for killing him other than killing some freaky cow
@randomracoon8467 If you do it after Act 1 you get a shapeshifters boon ring which gives 1d4 to all ability checks while disguised and a hat of fire acuity!
@@Reverendshot777Could one, theoretically, pickpocket him for that to get the best of both worlds? Or is it a reward _specifically_ for if you kill him?
@@Reverendshot777 So basically 2 useless items. sure... sooo much better than having an ally.... Get real mate
No Festering Cove?
All hail Mahkloompah!
I love one of the responses when talking to Lucretius after the Dribbles fight. It is something along the lines of "I got to kill a clown, so it wasn't all bad." She and Katya are my drag queen crushes.
Wow, only Andy would try smuggling an ox in his pocket disguised as an apple.
Question is what happens if you just leave it in your pocket for the rest of the game and can you sell the apple
@@plaguedeity Bigger question is can you eat the apple, because you know auto-select on the supplies and all.
@@andrewcarter9649 From what I could tell watching the video, it didn't seem to be marked as a food or supply item
I would have eaten it
@plaguedeity you can't eat it and as soon as you hit the lower city, the strange ox leaves. You could maybe put him in the camp box indefinitely
If you were to open a crate and put the Ox apple into it.....would it be...an oxbox?
Again… I get it!
Not quite as funny as the other one but hey!
Has Jane played BG3? I’m interested in knowing if her feelings on BG boyfriends and girlfriends are as strong as her feelings on Dragon Age boyfriends
Based on her previous choices, she's going for Wyll.
@@aerthreepwood8021 I wouldn't be so sure... Gale has strong Alistair Theirin energy (and jokes)
@@iworshipsatin YES! I knew there was someone I was missing, you’re so right
@@iworshipsatin you and i are very much in the same boat, don’t you worry 😂👍🏻
Steal the Djinni's ring of mage hand BEFORE spinning the wheel, and you'll win the jackpot. He'll accuse you of cheating and banish you to the jungles of Chult, where you fight dinosaurs and can find one of the most amazing legendary tridents in the game (lightning AoE + returns after thrown)
The Mummy can be understood if you cast detect thoughts or drink a potion, she's hilarious.
You can also force the strange ox to tell you what it is in act 2 already, triggering a fight, which will net you more rewards, including the hat of fire acuity.
Take Gale along to talk to the Tressym, it's his friend. Also, if you open the correspondence you can blackmail the postmaster.
Winning Akabi's jackpot was one of my favorite moments in the game!! I love bits where my character gets to go off on a little solo adventure, I just imagine popping back in at the circus like "guys you are not gonna believe this!! oh btw here Karlach have an exploding trident"
@@quelanathecrow with me it was Lae'Zel as Battlemaster who got the trident. 3 attacks per round plus action surge made her deadly both in melee and ranged. Pair it with the ring that adds acid damage, and the throw ring from act 1, and fights didn't really last long 😁
Killing ox is a bad idea. You get useless garbage and lose on a lore and a potential ally
There is the quest with the cursed sentient amulet haunted by the soul of a monk or something. You find it in the grymforge area , in a lava place near the adamantine forge and you have to bring it to Rivington. I dunno what happens if you can't resist the laughing.
you would just be laughing under the effect of Tasha's hideous laughter spell. Nothing much.
How rude “This creature is not what it appears to be” He’s stood right there in front of you! 🤣
I really liked the drinking contest with that oogie boogie guy in act 2
There's the quest near the monastery where if you talk to a blue jay it wants you to go to the roof of the monastery and kill the eagles that have made it their home. Blue jays are jerks.
And he tells you that the eagles just took over his home so I dunno
To be fair... eagles was a bit too Karen
That bug with Wyl having an exclimation mark but nothing to say was very annoying
You can fix it by just taking him to the burnt out inn that his dad was abducted from! It works even if you have already been to the inn :)
Yeah, we have this in our current game too.
@@jordangreenfield4092 That's back in act 1 though. I didn't have the bug crop up until act 3... so not sure how to fix it.
@@aphelion4616 For me the bug cropped up at a point on the mountain pass, Wyll noticed something and made a comment, persisted through act two and into act 3. I think it got removed when i did some of Wyll's story, possibly when Mizzora showed up again or after the audiance with Gortesh
@@aphelion4616 you can still go back to first act areas
Why in the hells was Dribbles spread out all over town like that though. He was probably the most powerful being
A shapechanger had killed him and taken his form, and then hid his body all over.
Bhaal shit.
@@bluntlyhonest6803 Also worth noting that most (all?) of the places where you find the pieces are decorated with bloody effigies to The Five (the group of Bhaalspawn who served as the secondary antagonists in BG2: Throne of Bhaal).
It's implied that Orin killed him and spread his parts around as an art project.
@@joshdaniels2363 Plus a couple of extras like Amelissan (sp?)
These are mostly act 3 diversions
It's like being so close to the finish line but instead of going straight you take a hard left because you saw puppies !
(Which the post office has 2 dogs in cages if you want to talk to them.)
The running in the basement gave me a heart attack. Why would you run around like that surrounded by miniature bombs xD
It isn't really a quest but the dog trainer at the post office must always be killed. Don't give her a chance, just do the worst you can to her.
The two dogs in cages are owned by the same awful people who used to own Scratch, too! You can either give Scratch back to her (bad idea) or kill her, avenge the doggos, leave her much kinder assistant in charge, and make the dogs happy!
@@CinnamonQuills People who give Scratch back talk at the theater. They will suffer an eternity of torment.
I don't think I'll ever finish this game, because I tend to have the focus of a dog that sees a squirrel every five minutes
Baldur's Gate more like Baldur's GREAT
I would love to see a Pun battle between Dribbles and Ellen.
I'm sad that Mark Hamill was not casted to play another clown
All the creedence provided to speak to animals, I hope by Act 3 you at least have either the potions for it or a party member providing it. It really is a treat
yeah, detect thoughs/speak with dead/talk with animals are trifecta of THE MOST usefull non-combat spells Period. NOTHING even comes close honestly
This game is my first dungeons and dragons experience and it has been deeply weird so far 😆 definitely doesn't work like "normal" rpg games. The rolling mechanic really adds a lot of chaos (never mind the already existing in-game chaos).
DND is actually the original inspiration for most other RPGs. Pretty much anyone who’s made an rpg game in the last 40 years was a dnd kid.
@@YourPalChris472 I know, had just never played it before myself. Some of the options that would be an obvious choice in more standard rpg offerings don't have the expected reaction or result in dnd and then the rolling comes on top and suddenly this is going much different than expected. Good fun 😆
@@katfromthekong414 you should try playing it. You will deffinetly love it
Dribbles is the Buggy of Baldur's Gate. My mind has been made.
11:32 tfw your team is incapable of perceiving their own eyelids when they sleep
the cursed skulls can be nullified with Remove Curse. You have to come at them from the side and not head on.
Should mention that the Strange Ox will help you out in the game's final battle(s)
The windmill mission in part one was highly entertaining. I accidently sent a gnome flying😂
That has some implications for a race/species/community when you reach Baldurs Gate.
I like out-drinking the Thisobald Thorm, that was always a favourite of mine. And if you don't outdrink him, you get to make him explode in a fight. Win-win.
Dribbles the clown is reminiscent of Skelly the clown from Chrono Cross. Except Skelly is a skeleton clown who joins your party when you find all his bones.
Even though Act III has optimization issues, it appears to be very memorable for amazing reasons. I can't wait to experience it myself.
The last two patches have fixed so much. I'm running on a 1660 super and ama managing to run act three at 50-60fps almost everywhere. Some dips but nothing that ruins the experience.
Also the fact you can enter every single building with no loading screens and the sheer amount of people populating the place, its a wild technical achievement.
Pigeon accent isn't confusing. He's clearly supposed to be an RAF-WW2 type. Warrior flyer. Dashed bad show, what?
I would say tank pigeon, ww1
I got this game for my birthday 2 weeks ago and I've been playing with a friend who has already played it 4 times. I think he was getting annoyed at my insistence of talking to all the animals but then the Strange Ox fights us in Act 2 and he couldnt stop laughing. I fucking love this game
Okay, but after you turn the ox into an apple, can you just eat the apple? I GOTTA KNOW
As far as I recall, no, you can just look at it.
@@exidrablack316 boooooo
Even if it killed you by undoing the spell, thus turning back into a sizeable piece of ox, and exploding your jaw or stomach that'd at least be an amusing "what did you think would happen"
Unfortunately there is no option to Eat that apple. But can somehow eat other normal apples.
You can however, throw that Apple and then he starts a fight with you because he is now Mad at you.
@@Mini_Squatchi mean... if the ox turns into an apple. Safe to say you aren't really eating an ox or an apple at that point xp
No...but you can lick the spider.
Okay the Cambion joke was pretty good!
Oooh, so that's what is supposed to happen in the ghost house. My friends and I accidentally burned Oscar to death so that never happened. Whoops?
Cat with wings is an old friend of Gail. So you will have extra dialogs if he is in party
Love getting a random add for Baldur's Gate, very serious-like, while watching this video about how silly it is hahaha
These are all. All. From Act 3.
Bravo, lads.
You can't handle the truths that oxen keep secret. None of us can.😜
I immidiately went for the kill after that vision. It was.... not what I expected...
@@ForestRaptor I get the feeling a lot of people did that. The only reason I wouldn't is because I am a dialogue addict.
I mean -- meeting a winged-cat-creature and killing an evil shapeshifter clown seem like very important things to ME XD
I had that Wyll exclamation mark bug - I was like what do you want from me WYLL?!
He wanted you to take him to where his father used to live in act 1.
For the strange ox he dos do something nice. He helps you at the final battle and he’s strong
Then why was he so sketchy is probably your question right now. Well let me give you an example of what would have happened if he came clean
You “what are you”
Ox “ok let me show you” take off ring of shapshifting
Instantly turns into a boss level flesh atronok/elemental from the deepest pits of the 9th level of hell
Your reaction. You scream and start stabbing a level 15ish monster
Yaaaa… dude ant going to tell you shit
He’s karlac but a monster. Literally not metaphorical. Like karlac he’s actually a stand up dude who wants to leave hell and retire but unlike karlac he can’t speak or look human so an ox it is.
Love your channel. Love this content.
nice to see they had fun making these quests
6:28 Postmaster "Danzo" looks like actor Tony Danza...the Trope Namer for TVTropes "The Danza", which is when a fictional character's name is who their actor is...or in this case, who they look like. I couldn't find the specific VA for Danzo, so it's likely one of their "other voices" people.
I kept killing the ox in act two 🤯 I'm gonna need another pt 😅
Talk to animals is a must it extremely awesome
I dunno, OX seem like normal adult people to me...
I was wondering what happened to the ox if you didn't out it as an ooze at last light.
If you keep it around and help smuggle it into the city proper in Act 3, then in the final battle, it can be a summonable ally - a pretty cool one at that, as it can shapeshift into a variety of powerful creatures
The ox is an ooze that can shapeshift, and you can call it out in act 2 and make it transform to its real shape and then fight it.
Oskar Fevras... I very nearly spoiled this one here. Let me just say this:
Kerri ftw!
You don't have to be a wizard to have Speak with Animals. I played as a druid, and still had it. (It can be quite amusing, when talking with certain animals.)
or just have Karlach in your party, she talks to all the animals for me (she also skilled survival, perception, and animal handling, being able to min/max your whole party is so handy)
I’m a cleric and was able to get it as well
Wildheart Barbarian gets the spell as a class feature and it stays up until you either Long Rest or die.
bards have it too!
@@YenneferOfDragonstone I think most, if not all, magic classes have that skill.
If you take gale with you on the find the letters quest, then you can meet Tara two more times in the lower city and trade fish for magical artifacts from her.
7. Stop the presses! :D I laughed about the quest because it relates a lot to my job.
The last quest remember to speak to the guys son he will be most pleased that his dad lost :D
Getting to press before it prints slanders it's also ridiculous. You can even go and brag lol
Oh, I just killed the Ox at Last Light and got the bonkers OP ring a whole act early. Do recommend
I was like, "I already know about Dribbles WAIT YOU CAN REANIMATE HIM?!"
aaand off this video goes to the "watch later", when I've actually finished my first run.😅
Love the clown quest, his boss would actually prefer you got him back dread not alive
Oh good, puns as if clowns aren't enough of a horror already
not forget feedung a mindflayer whilst trying to kill all mind flayers
“Say hi Benji!”
“MEAT!”
Please talk to Wyll
Stinks of Cheese - that's my tribal name thank you very much!
Wait im not supposed to just immediately blow up the fireworks factory 😂
well i went to hell for a hammer
You can get the ox to turn into an ooze at Last Light and fight it there.
So an ox that shows you it’s gory noise albums cover art?
I love this game
there is a faster way for the Arfur sidequest thou. SPOILER if you never done it. Leave him standing at the house and then investigate the toybox at warehouse then the basement. Confront him arrest him and he spill the words. no need to search him out
Had no way of interrogating Arfur. He walked into my Circle of Daggers and died.....
I actually didn't get the gruesome gorefest vision when talking to the ox on my playthrough, it skipped for some reason.
I got serious Skelly vibes from Chrono cross with dribbles
I refused to leave the ox alone in act 2 so it transformed. Turns out it's an ooze.
Free the Artist/Mystic Carrion is probably one of the most convoluted quests in the game. I love BG3, but this quest line is just annoying not bizarre. The only thing bizarre about it is why Larian put those damned cursed skulls in the game .
