As a note: Kressa does not offer the blessing to the Dark Urge, get it on everyone else before bringing the Dark Urge into the area. Thank you to @tantalus_complex for this!
If you're disguised it works. I was walking around disguised to make use of the Shapeshifter's Boon and got the option for my Durge. Dropping disguise will get you the normal interaction.
For Astarion and getting the strength potion, if you are positive about getting the potion without saying he will do it, you can act surprised when he doesn't want to, and he says he supposes his past behaviour makes it surprising. If you then say you won't make him but we could really use that potion, he will go ahead and get it, then be grumpy/regretful. Back at camp you can apologise and say you didn't know it would mean so much to him, and he will realise why his past makes it important. You get the potion without any major relationship damage.
In Sharran Sanctuary the character that passes the checks gets +5 to Int, Cha, or Wis (depending on statue) until long rest - much more valuable thatn potions and scrolls
Thank you! I had forgotten about this! In my run I ended up doing a long rest just after going through the area so did not end up benifiting from these boosts.
After looking in every nook and cranny in all my different playthroughs I haven't gotten through every different dialogue option yet, so this was very helpful. Thank you!
On the potion you get from Astarion biting the drow; if romanced, pushing him to do it will almost certainly cause him to break up with your character. Its not recommended for anyone planning on romancing him.
Before you free Nightsong kill all the baddies in Moonrise in the backrooms, the basement and front and back entrances. Also free the Gnolls. You can even enter Ketheric's room upstairs and kill off the witches without aggro from Ketheric if you stay on the steps. These things make the Moonrise battle much easier.
You can also kill the people on the second floor and use the minor illusion to attract some of the people from the first up to the second floor. By the time I was done there were only 2 people left for the main fight.
In the mausoleum pit when you defeat that animated armor you can pick up the plate armor. The plate armor comes with necrotic resistance which is really good in this area.
Yes, I like making videos on it because I specifically spend more time exploring all the different things and options in the game just to make the videos.
For the Sharran Sanctuary, pass the checks for a +5 to wis,int, and cha. But they expire on long rest so definitely do first in a day and a great buff to bring to Kethric and can be split between Gale shadowheart and Wyll
NOTE for Dark Urge Playthroughs: Kressa doesn't give you this option if you saunter in as the Dark Urge - even if you come in friendly. This is for story reasons I won't spoil. So I'd say have your Dark Urge character come in LAST, so you can get the buffs on everyone else _and_ the Dark Urge plot line.
Found everything, but I usually enter in reverse direction. The one thing I missed was putting out the torches in the torch ring area. Headed there now - Thanks!
I made Astarion bite her, it was pretty funny and I got a +2 str buff. She appears again in act 3 in BG itself near Beehive general goods. Steal her key when she cant see you. Rob out her cellar. then talk to her. She then wants do do something to you that I cant remember. Everyone is screaming at you not to do it. For jokes I just did it anyway. Now I have explosive blood. Which she makes into explosive grenades, that work like smoke bombs. She makes 2 per long rest. Too funny.
AAhhh your voice is such a pleasurw to listen to, so calm and soothing, and the advice is really great, i thought i had all in act 2 but DAM i missed the Fishgod part
A note on talking to the Absolute - If you destroyed the Grove, or knocked Minthara out to keep her alive to help Halsin, when you go to Minthara and attempt to free her, you can bypass every skill check on freeing her if you spoke with the absolute first! Im not sure if this is Durge specific, but it's worth keeping in mind if you want to recruit Minthara easier :)
I've had 3 playthroughs and yet I was today years old when I found out that I could not only talk to Kressa Bonedaughter but also get a blessing boost (I usually go in crossbows and spells blazing)!

I only discovered it by mistake. I had initially gone in like you and killed them all, I shut down for the night after the battle but had forgotten to save haha. So next day I went in more stealthy and after listening in on her dialog with the others decided to talk to her.
@@IanistoocommonThat’s a true pro (soul?) tip right there: Listen to the NPC dialog! I’ve learned so many cool things just hanging out and waiting until I notice that it’s looped back to where I started listening.
Can you believe I completely missed Moonrise Tower? The first time I went there was to attack with Jaheira. I found the captives all dead in a viscera pit under the tower. All because I went to the mosalieum first. I'm so looking forward to my next playthru so I can do this properly.
Haha, moonrise does seem like it's something you would want to do last, had I not seen posts saying to do it first I probablywould have missed it too! One of my friends went to the mausoleum first and went far enough to change moonrise but never actually finished it, then went back to moonrise and finished act2. From what they told me it made their battles at moonrise significantly harder haha!
When you visit araj for the potions, have Gale go first. There's a dialog path where she bribes him not to tell people what she's doing I think it's 100 gold? And then every person after also gets the bribe
One thing to remember is that when you enter an area and your mini map has the cloudy red ring around its perimeter, you will not be able to camp! You can short rest, but that's it. So make sure you have long rested prior to entering those areas and have the two short rests available.
I made Astarion do it. For all shit of his I had to put up with its the least he could for for me. I said "it's your call, but we could really use the potion" so he actually chose to do it.
As a side note to your last area, the restoration stations are all missing in honor mode and some are missing in tactitian. You can also get to the koa toa via the crypt by passing a perception check in the final room to spot the lever that unlocks the room to the chest and oozes. If you save all the tieflings via the boat at the back of the cells in moonrise tower, then talk to alfira she will give you and amazing piece of caster armor that gives plus prof modifier to cantrip damage, but ALL of them must survive, so if you open the cells and they make a run for it and die you wont get it. And obviously this isnt an option for the durge...
That armour is still possible to get as Durge. Just make sure you temporarily knock out Alfira in the druid grove before the long rest encounter, and you'll have a different character come to your camp
@@andreashyldal7423 is that as reliable as knocking Minthara out? Cause thats sketchy at best. Got it to work in my honor mode run but not in a regular run. Knocking my way through origon characters now.
I would have mentioned Balthazar's secret lab, which I missed my first playthrough because Zrell was suspicious of me and followed me in, plus all the traps.
NOTE: Kressa will _not_ offer the blessing to the Dark Urge, for story reasons you should experience for yourself. So if you want both the blessing and the Dark Urge plot advancement, separate the party, leaving your Urge behind initially. Save them for last, once everyone else has the blessing.
Yea, pronouncing words correctly as I read them (I write out a script beforehand) is not one of my strong suits! My wife laughs at me every time I try and fail to say "parfait" correctly at a drive though!
Yu forgot to Get the Gith-Zerai Mind Barrier and the Sword inside the Colony.. Both are connected.. Yu have to Make the Brain Puzzle then get the Unique interaction with the Wall Get the Two Hand Sword super Strong and the Brain inside the Jar, go back to where yu see the Necro Stuff and interact with the Head using the Brain yu just Get Yu have to pass some Checks and yu Get it. BTW the Sword is the Second Best yu can Get in act 2 but the Cresch one is Stronger becouse of the Innitiative bonnus +2
Omfg I went in that little temple and passed two of the statue checks and then left because I thought the whole point of it was getting the buffs that the checks give you 😅
The only things I did not get was Kressa because I failed the check, and the plaques in the kiddle of Reithwind. I fifgured there was something with the plaques, but just to comprehend the text, which I did,. I did not however get the secret door open. I knew there must have been something else than just deciphering the text! EDIT: Oh and the torches part but I figured it would happen though. I just didn't get why I should get myself willingly into a fight that is easily avoided.
In the upper floor of the tollhouse, (where you fight the gold lady) there is a room you can't get into because there is a 160HP tree growing through the doorframe. Any idea how to get in there?
I used misty step. But you could also probably use an arrow of transposition, someone who can fly, or someone who has a big jump. You can access it from the window on the outside of the building.
Thats true but you missout on the cut scene only going that way. I actually went that way first then after doing the crack was disappointed it was not someplace new.
Good video. Can I just make a suggestion? You need some background audio. Either gameplay audio, or quiet music, or the game music. It’s too quiet without it. Thanks dude!
DO NOT try to go up that ladder with Halsin in the party …. Completely fucks your game up and the only way around it I could find was to stealth kill the goblin who locked me in a dialogue circle. Also, the bugbears in the kitchen can become your ally in the assault if you so wish
Haha, that's true that was a fun encounter. Any time I see a cat or bird I always make sure I have speak with animals because their dialog is very good!
Such a great conversation! But I wouldn’t say, ‘missing.’ By the time you get to that cat you should know you should to be running Speak with Animals 100% of the time. 😂
So i get IT right. I need First to go to moonrise towers and THEN to the Mausoleum? Can someone explain me why? I'm curently in the Mausoleum, but have not start the trails of shar
As long as you do not start the trials you should be ok. If you do start the trials it locks you out of the quest to free the prisoners. And will block you from freely exploring the tower, including being able to interact with all the traders in it.
The point of no return is after you finish the Sharran temple event, once you find Nightsong. If you try returning to the Underdark or the Mountain Pass you'll be killed off (mild spoilers in how you're killed). It's still Act 2 but a lot of people won't even try to go back after freeing Nightsong but before the Moonrise assault. You can even tell by the fast travel points (except in the shadowcursed lands) disappearing
You are correct, you loose all the act two waypoints once you take the road to Baldurs Gate. However, I meant more that once you find the nightsong depending on your actions the main areas of Lastlight Inn and Moonrise Towers change which cuts you off from many of the content. (such as trading or rescuing the prisioners in moonrise if you are doing a "good" run).
There are 2 major points of no return. Act 3 is one of them. The first one is upon entering the shadowfel which locks out act 1 and many major quests in act 2
@@henriquealves5740 iirc if you release Nightsong, then attempt to return to the Underdark the the Elder B----- can find you and force your tadpole to evolve you, forcing you under the Absolute's control. This was on an earlier patch, but there was a major glitch to reload afterwards and even stay fully "evolved" into act 3
dont forget in moonrise you can talk to ketheric's undead dog Squire. If you have Scratch's ball they will comment how the owner seems happy and they will let you pet them :3 Also make sure to talk to the Gnolls handler in moonrise and win a wisdom check to free the gnolls for extra support/less hostile npcs in the raid on the tower

Had no idea about the extra fight in the area with the torches. That ring sounds super useful. Thank you! This was a fun watch.

You actually can get +5 to all three
You can climp Moonrise Tower from the outside and have a dialoge with 3 Gargoyles and some hidden chests.
Wait really? Did not know!
Nice find! I did not know about the Gargoyles.
Damn, I immediately engaged combat with them. I keep forgetting this isn't like other games.
