had the same problem. for the podest to be accesable you have to trigger the books once. you have to interact with the (i believe) second from above of the right bookcase.
The more interesting thing being the lyrics of the song sung by the Ghost Elf of the Elfsong in question (of which there is a book in the room too), which are pretty much the whole plot of BG3
If you skip the Farslayer of Bhaal, Strangler Luke won't spawn in that encounter, and you won't be able to loot the Bonespike Gloves off of him. These gloves make the wearer's attacks ignore Resistance to Slashing, Piercing, and Bludgeoning damage, which is great vs. the Steel Watch.
Yeah, the enemies in that trial only start combat when you walk by them. I normally just try to fly or teleport off rip and most cases, I end up not aggroing them
You can find hearts all over Bathazars room. You place a heart into the alter (after interacting with a book) and the door opens. Nere's Head isnt required for this at all but kinda cool it works.
Creating content that’s not actually content for the sake of creating content. It’s annoying when you’re actually trying to figure out if you missed something
I've seen more people shocked that the lower city even has a campsite, as if most people actually beelined it to the tavern and rented a room immediately
For the Altar... you don't need the head of Nere.. you can literally loot a heart from one of the corpse in front of the door (shelves) and just use that and the door will open. He does mention it after he's done with it but Nere's head does legit have no use 😂
@@leotorres8602if you’re using a proper storm sorcerer build (the 2/2/8 build you’ll find all over) you’ll be able to use a water elemental/myrmidon to wet everything very easily.
i still dont get why mage hand is alleged to be op it cant hover or fly up high it cant carry much of anything it can shove, which is good, but ive never had it do anything creative ive ever tried to get it to do 3 hp and its kind of a pain to control i summon it, it fails me for the last time, and then i dismiss it
@@kahwigulum you can drop potions, grenades, etc. on the ground without using an action and have the hand throw them. Even worst case scenario you can summon it before combat and it eats an attack or two.
Great tips! Here's one from me: If you still want to fight the Bhaal trial, cast invisibility on your Monk have them climb up behind the guy who can TPK your group. Then have the rest of the group iniitiate the trial. Once the guy enters combat he's fair game (can't hit him before). Have your Monk punch him once or twice and then pick him up and throw him to the ground three stories below. Trial over! Experience gained!
There’s also a rogue-specific option that claims that you’re from the Guild and should get the Nine-Fingers discount lol. Funny how there’s so many ways to do one thing.
Just the fact that the blooming drow head wasn’t red like you can take it immediately clues me in to it being useful. Love that it’s just a replacement for a heart lol
Another easy way to complete the faith leap trial on controller is to press the left stick down to enter into a "cursor mode" where you can select where you want your character to go. It leaves a white line that shows you where the character will walk getting to the point you're hovering over. The solid ground changes the white line ever so faintly when it goes from chasm to solid ground.
The rotating floor puzzle thing, I accidentally discovered the button that bypasses the puzzle when I accidentally found my way into the place (I can't recall exactly how, but I kinda went thru a "back way" and got there and was like, WTF?) Anyway, I didn't even realize that the floor puzzle was a "thing" until much later when I saw a video (kinda like this one) that was about solving different puzzles and quests and it included the floor puzzle. I went back to that area, and saw the puzzle on the floor, and was surprised that I completely by accident avoided it.
If you are still getting problems with the Leap Of Faith and are cautious, then put into O mode (or whatever top down is on console), scroll in a bit, and there is a TINY WHITE DOT in the centre of ALL squares, just walk across one square at a time. Or throw water/ash ahead of you and you will see the path as it has water/ash on it
The fact you can just destroy the chess piece with a lightning spell is GOLD. I thought you were going to say if you have Gale in your party he triggers a cutscene where he just gives you the solution (really) but i love that there's an even more smartass solution too
It's glitchy for some people. I continually failed it at random points despite following the map - I've seen others have the same issue. Some people can see the path on the floor while others can't.
On the Bhaal trial PWK section, I just sent a myrmadon ahead of me and killed the first little group and just barely didn't have enough time to reach the cultists who casts pwk, warped there but didn't kill him. He only killed the myrmadon though and my ungrouped party being left just behind the barrier was able to clean up at their leisure. It'd probably work to just send a mage hand in and let it get PWK'd
You maybe saved my honour mode run. Farslayer Ghislev? Power Word Kill? I did not even know this was an irregular encounter. I think when I got there on normal my whole party had fly and I just killed the guy on the pillar without paying attention. Now things look different, I should prep for this.
I'm sure others have already said it, but the altar in Balthazar's room can just be done with one of the hearts you can find in that room. That's definitely not where you're meant to use the drow head.
Great video! Note that Hot Fix 23 that dropped today states that they fixed the container glitches. It remains to be seen if the Steal without Stealing tip you mentioned was one of them.
The way to get everything from a merchant for free using containers still works as of july 20, 2024. For those not in the know, here's how you do it: 1. Open barter mode (The mode with two columns where you can place your items in one side, and the trader's in another) 2. Have 2 containers in your inventory (They must be containers that can hold any item, so your camp supply pack or alchemy pouch won't work) 3. Sell one container to the trader 4. Open the container you just sold, and one that is still in your inventory 5. Highlight whatever items you want for free in the trader's inventory, and drag them into the bag you sold to them 6. Drag the bag you sold to the trader over to the trader's barter column 7. Highlight the items in the trader's bag, and drag them onto the ICON at the top of your bag's window (Do NOT drag them into your bag. Drag them onto the ICON at the top) 8. Now you have those items for free! Buy the bag back if you wish
for the Bhaal temple enterance i found out you can just target the space where the guy who casts power word kill is normaly while invisible, and you can actually hit him and start the fight without his summons and without him using power word kill.
noted noted, now i just need to pass act1 in honor mode first. I did once , with a light cleric, and died against the big necrotic tree in act 2. And here i thought act 2 would be a breeze with a light cleric ... i was wrong.
Soft step trial: I just flew through the whole thing with gaseous form, even passed the gate that way. Shadows ignored me too. Faith leap trial: just fly?
I cannot believe they added "I shoot the king" to chess rules haha I just let Gale tell me the answer and the board lights up according to what he said.
It kinda gets hinted about Gale being chess smart in act 2, when you are in the Inn, you can talk to Mol and Raphael who are playing chess, before the big Inn fight. If you have Gale, he'll recommend what pieces Mol should move, and you can tell her that and she wins the game against Raphael. Just a interaction though, no reward as I know of.
For the power word trial, I just flew behind where the guy spawns, unload a ton of magic missiles into his backside (no innuendo implied) to get rid of his unstoppable buff, and then wasted him some some heavy blows.
You can get the lodging at the elfsong tavern for free if you're a bard, I think you promise to give them some publicity or something and he waives the fee. 'fill yer boots mate' :)
I used the blooming head for exactly that in my first playthrough. In my second playthrough, I didn't even get one, even though I did the same quest. Spaw just didn't feel like putting the head out because he'd heard I like to steal stuff, I guess.
It's NOT just Nere's blooming head which opens the secret room in Balthazar's chambers in Moonrise Towers; any organ will do. That's why hearts can be picked up from the corpses in that room.
Another thing about the chess puzzle is if you have Gale on your team, he can offer you some help, and if you agree, he literally spits out a winning strategy :D A cool little detail
i don't know if everyone knows this but if you have a character capable of flight in the leap of faith trail you can fly between the platforms then activate the trail then collect the orb
I thought the lightning on the lanceboard puzzle was the intended way lol. I tried moving pieces but all the possible moves just get reset...unless I missed something
It's annoying because I'm decent at chess and there were multiple ways I could put him in checkmate in 2 moves and the board kept denying me until I did it the 1 way it wanted me to
There's like two chess-specific ways to actually solve it, but yeah, they explicitly say "destroy the king", and don't make it fully immune like they did for the judge. It's absolutely an intended method
I think the Nere's Head thing is either unintended/coincidence (IE; it shares a script flag with other body parts - AFAIK it does not have to be the heart you find in the room that is used, it can be any common body-part object from anywhere in the game) or it _was_ part of the originally intended solution but Larian changed their minds without cleaning up after themselves (also actually very possible with this game lol). If you leave Nere alive and side against the gnomes he will end up as Balthazar's Zombie slave in act2 without any other context, so even though the first option is more likely, Larian perhaps wanted to make a greater connection between the two characters, and maybe Nere was the victim of cut content.
Anyone reading this late. As of update 7, the trick for the faith leap challenge in the shars gauntlet will no longer work. Clicking at the end of the trial won't path your character there.
Says very difficult bhaal trial and I ambushed the archers on the mountain and threw them off with thunder wave and then used dimension door to get my Jaihera Owl Bear to completely dominate it by knocking him prone and doing huge damage 😂
re lightning chess shocking grasp works just as well and doesnt cost a spell slot re the trial with the invisible floor any character who can fly or jump (potion of vaulting + high strength, or just laezel) can just jump from the corner or the platform to the corner of each other platform. just dont jump onto the final platform because it will send you back. just jump slightly short on the right (your right) and in front to land on the bit of hidden floor and just walk on re this game was it just me or was a lot of this game just too easy? not a brag, i just dont understand why people need guides like this, because the game was so easy i got many achievements on my first playthrough for doing stuff i guess was supposed to be hard, like killing the guardian without using the hammer (i didnt even know it was a hammer) or killing orin while her peeps were still chanting (all they did was chant, i didnt know they ever stopped), or kililng ketheric without him consume deadites (i didnt know he had that ability because i killed them all so easily). i literally didnt know last light inn was a thing and when i freed nightsong and the cinematic showed me who i now know was jaheira, i thought, who the hell is that lady, and then isobel showed up as if we were friends and i was all who the hell is this person this game is retarded
Niers head works, because in the coding of the game a lot of the body parts are defined as the same thing, his has the same labeling as a heart....so it just kinda works because code
yup its hidden because you have to go out of your way to talk to someone for the room and its not presented to you in a way that is obvious. So yes it is by definition a hidden interaction..so quick to say something that you forgot to think
It's not really the main one if you have to go out of your way to talk to a random guy when every other person is named in this city and there's 0 incentive. I for one forgot to talk to the bartender and I'm still just sleeping on the tables in the docks, even though the only things left in act 3 are the bhaal place, iron throne and gortash fight. Like, my mind was set on the cook who I had to warn, the investigator, alfira and the basement.
It’s more hidden than the basic act 3 camp, but most players I would say get that interaction on the first playthrough, it’s still hidden but it’s not very hard to find, if that makes sense
I wish the items that could be used for questing or unlocking things had some sort of identifier..... but it seems like thats about every item. So ill just continue to hoarde everything
@@barbaros99 No, it's specific to the fight with Gortash. It's probably silly of me to avoid elaborating for spoilers on a video like this, but if you want more details, I'd look up the Fancy Footwork achievement. I think it might be one of the hidden achievements, but I'm not sure.
I’m pretty sure there’s a current issue with the elfsong Tavern camp….. your travelers chest is gone and others on Reddit have said the same thing it’ll show up if you go to any other camp but if you’re there there is no travelers chess so you can’t access any of your stuff
@@ni9htwin9250 yeah, I know where that chest is but it’s empty for me and it doesn’t say travelers chest I have run around that place so many times unless there’s like another room that I’m not aware of I cannot find it I’ve been having to go back to Rivington just to get stuff out of my box.

@@Toyhouze Weird, because any body part would work, that why there are so many hearts in the room.

If you skip the Farslayer of Bhaal, Strangler Luke won't spawn in that encounter, and you won't be able to loot the Bonespike Gloves off of him.
These gloves make the wearer's attacks ignore Resistance to Slashing, Piercing, and Bludgeoning damage, which is great vs. the Steel Watch.
you can just go in with greater invis + pass without trace and kill him and get the gloves, and still have enough time to get to that waypoint.
Yeah, the enemies in that trial only start combat when you walk by them. I normally just try to fly or teleport off rip and most cases, I end up not aggroing them
Meh.
A tad baity to say "Insane secrets that EVERYONE missed", expecially if you're including the inn in act 3.....
I missed it 😕
You can find hearts all over Bathazars room. You place a heart into the alter (after interacting with a book) and the door opens. Nere's Head isnt required for this at all but kinda cool it works.
I like how they updated the model of Nere’s mushroom head. Such a random update decision.
"Now with double the mushrooms!"
For the faith leap trial, just fly to the end. Its not a big deal.
bro, just turn on gama, you will see the path. I did in my first play through
For me it worked to just click the end with one character. The game will pathfind to the end. Not sure if this has been changed.
@@khoaanh2224that was a bug. It was patched long ago
I tried doing that with jumping, but jumping from the last platform onto the goalpost instantly killed my character
I just ungrouped one character, moved all the others back with one darkvison person looking forward, and followed the map.

The soundtrack in the tavern i different, because it is haunted. - the singing is the reason why it is called "Elfsong."

Yo skipping the whole gauntlet is crazy thank you so much! At this point it's not all ghat hard for me but it's so long for no reason!
the elfsong tavern - you can get the floor for free if you wheedle it out of him. well worth the effort. and i love the music there.
You can also just put a heart on the alter and there are at least two hearts in Balthazar room so no need for nere's mushroom head
9:11 you missed that gortash will actually scream and the scream is actually the Wilhelm scream :)

for the chess puzzle i solved it by having my barbarian pick up the piece and throw it down a pit
The Elfsong tavern music is the best track, especially for standing around doing inventory management and buffing.

I have nearly 1200hours and I have NEVER knew Blooming Drow Head even existed WTF xD
The faith leap trial has the map on the floor in the beginning of the trial. I just take a pic and go

These aren’t ’jaw dropping hidden’ but rather ordinary techniques most players encounter
when the bombs dropped in stack were thrown, the action won't proceed or sometimes, you will throw it on yourself
I offered Gale's hand to Mystra because dark urge being dark urge, sad it doesn't do anything
wow I had no Idea about the Inn or skipping the trials
0:00 u can just use heart that is next to it xD
He said "easily solve the rotating floor puzzle" without even solving it.
re lightning chess
shocking grasp works just as well and doesnt cost a spell slot
re the trial with the invisible floor
any character who can fly or jump (potion of vaulting + high strength, or just laezel) can just jump from the corner or the platform to the corner of each other platform. just dont jump onto the final platform because it will send you back. just jump slightly short on the right (your right) and in front to land on the bit of hidden floor and just walk on
re this game
was it just me or was a lot of this game just too easy? not a brag, i just dont understand why people need guides like this, because the game was so easy
i got many achievements on my first playthrough for doing stuff i guess was supposed to be hard, like killing the guardian without using the hammer (i didnt even know it was a hammer) or killing orin while her peeps were still chanting (all they did was chant, i didnt know they ever stopped), or kililng ketheric without him consume deadites (i didnt know he had that ability because i killed them all so easily). i literally didnt know last light inn was a thing and when i freed nightsong and the cinematic showed me who i now know was jaheira, i thought, who the hell is that lady, and then isobel showed up as if we were friends and i was all who the hell is this person
this game is retarded
i just jammed a heart in the balthazar alter i think it will work with any body part maybe
Niers head works, because in the coding of the game a lot of the body parts are defined as the same thing, his has the same labeling as a heart....so it just kinda works because code
Most of the riddles in BG3 can be solved by casting "knock" or throwing someone out of the map😂
Time to play a stupid but strong half-orc
"hidden camp" - The main campsite of act 3. Okay buddy, someone's started reaching
yup its hidden because you have to go out of your way to talk to someone for the room and its not presented to you in a way that is obvious. So yes it is by definition a hidden interaction..so quick to say something that you forgot to think
It's not really the main one if you have to go out of your way to talk to a random guy when every other person is named in this city and there's 0 incentive. I for one forgot to talk to the bartender and I'm still just sleeping on the tables in the docks, even though the only things left in act 3 are the bhaal place, iron throne and gortash fight. Like, my mind was set on the cook who I had to warn, the investigator, alfira and the basement.
It’s more hidden than the basic act 3 camp, but most players I would say get that interaction on the first playthrough, it’s still hidden but it’s not very hard to find, if that makes sense
I did not find this on my first playthrough
I've played Act 3 with 2 characters and only learn now that it exists
You can get the elf song room for free with an extra dice roll
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you.
I thought power word kill wouldn’t work if your health is above 100 hp
I think this is what you’d call a “stretch”.
I wish the items that could be used for questing or unlocking things had some sort of identifier..... but it seems like thats about every item. So ill just continue to hoarde everything
Quest items and keys have a dark orange (or brown) border.
You can insert any body part into the alter
Lmao. Nere’s head is not a key. Blood is the key. You can get it from any heart you find in the room.
Is it possible to steal without stealing on console? I'm assuming not as I can't drag items into a container.
if you skip the bhaal trial, you will miss out/lose one very rare item
The gloves?
I'm a fan of yeeting gortash off the edge, wonder how long until all these cheeses get fixed though
If you get a special achievement for it (like he says in the video), maybe this one won't be?
@@barbaros99The achievement isn’t for that specifically.
@@devinpm Just carrying/throwing someone?
@@barbaros99 No, it's specific to the fight with Gortash. It's probably silly of me to avoid elaborating for spoilers on a video like this, but if you want more details, I'd look up the Fancy Footwork achievement. I think it might be one of the hidden achievements, but I'm not sure.
@@devinpm Thanks!
for faith leap, simply have anyone cast jump on you
You can throw random trash in front of you in faith leap trial, like cups and plates, to know where is safe to land
the tavern room is a secret campsite? i thought everyone did it
Another excellent video as always
I’m pretty sure there’s a current issue with the elfsong Tavern camp….. your travelers chest is gone and others on Reddit have said the same thing it’ll show up if you go to any other camp but if you’re there there is no travelers chess so you can’t access any of your stuff
I'm like 90% sure it's in the back corner by withers. At least it was on my origin shadowheart playthrough I just finished up.
@@ni9htwin9250 yeah, I know where that chest is but it’s empty for me and it doesn’t say travelers chest I have run around that place so many times unless there’s like another room that I’m not aware of I cannot find it I’ve been having to go back to Rivington just to get stuff out of my box.
The one by Withers is empty. My camp chest is by the fireplace
@@AshGreen359 Yeah mine was by the fireplace in that kind of conversation-pit-area in the middle of the room, too, and I had no trouble with getting my items out of my camp inventory
I just sneak in the self same trial and shoot my selves with arrows and they dont trigger combat while in sneak
