Just a note, but telekinesis and reflecting the Magic Missiles does not work on Honour Mode. Enemies re-appear on Honour, and the Illithid Arcanists use Shield as a reaction to take no damage from the Magic Missiles.
@@lotus8551 You don't need it. I end up always using it, but after all of the enemies are dead, only for Orpheus to channel the portal uninterrupted though. If you try to use Globe of Invulnerability whilst the Illithid Arcanists are alive and still have their cast of Counterspell, they will Counterspell it. I only play solo honour mode. None of that is much of a problem with a party. You could also force the Illithid Arcanists reactions as well, with making them Counterspell, then they wouldn't be able to Shield. You don't have the action economy to do that solo though, so I just kill them. This is how I do it with a caster solo on honour: ruclips.net/video/afigVN0NAfo/видео.html (This is much easier with a non-caster)
Reflective shell to counter MM is so clever. I honestly dread the final fights and ended up just not doing them after my first playthrough much because there is so much total enemy health and it just feels more tedious than challenging or interesting.
Lmao I was thinkin the same thing like how u get that shield 😂 nice vid tho man very informative and well done the telekinesis trick should help me out
I remember I was able to throw the dudes close to where we start but not the mindflayers at the back, those would reappear. Might still work on those at the front or maybe it got patched and all monsters react to it like the mindflayers, not sure.
so for people like me that dont have the spells or the gear ill just go fuck myself then lol

the shield works for only 1 turn, next turn you will die.
good tips
gonna use that in honor mode
Throwing them off the side does not appear to work anymore, the target will reappear where it was.
