For those of y'all who think this is modded here's some quick maths: Stealth modifier bonus is 2x4 (Proficiency x2 for expertise) + 3 (DEX mod) + 1d4 (Guidance) + 10 (Pass Without Trace) = 21+1d4 to stealth checks at this point. This means I have a very low chance to miss Greater Invisibilty unless I critically fail, especially with advantage from Deep Gnome's Stone Camoflauge. The chance to critically fail normally is 5% (1/20), but with advantage it is 0.25%. This makes it pretty hard to fail in a few actions from Greater Invisibility (over 20 trials at 0.25% fail, ~4% chance to critically fail). There is, however, a bug that prevents advantage on Stealth from being applied more than once a turn, so I find it's far more likely to miss one of those checks that aren't from Greater Invisibility. This does mean this clip did take a few reloads to try, but I wanted to show y'all something hilarious that isn't bound by the rules of turn-based combat. I built this entirely around maximizing Sneak Attack Damage/real time. Sneak Attack (Ranged) is currently very bugged and can 1) apply to spell ATTACKs, 2) trigger multiple times per spell attack IF from out of combat and not in any turn-based mode Since Greater Invisibility + being out of proximity from Dame Aylin prevents me from ever entering combat, I can just repeatedly hit enemies for 3 x (4d6) sneak dice + whatever EB does. Every single time. That's really all there is to it (besides being higher level from doing all content up to this point)! Many of you probably have tried Greater Invisibility and thought it was bugged without realizing that the DC starts at 15 and increases by 1 per action taken. I assure you this is doable without mods as is done here, and isn't even optimal. I'm redoing this run with a Halfling to get Lucky, which pretty much makes it so I NEVER fail. As it stands, Halfling is probably the single strongest race in this game for speed completion because of this build.
Ok thanks for the explanation and kudos to you for coming up with this strat. This really looked interestingly weird and out of place because it genuinely felt like real time gameplay instead of turn based LOL
@@Mirage4492 if you need more numbers I made a quick n dirty program with AnyDice (great tool!) to show the math anydice.com/program/32291. I made it so you can input your own abilities and any modifiers or items you'd like!
I was planning to try something like that but, how do you get that many Sneak attack modifier (4d6 is lvl 7 rogue) AND greater invis (i assume 7 archfey lock ?)
Also! There is no wrong way to play this game (except TB thrower, puts me to sleep instantly). Go for whatever make you happy whether its big number or interesting gameplay, and not just in terms of combat.

You know its realy a shame that more players didnt realize you can fairly be at level 10 at this point if you just do literaly every sidequest and kill or talk down (or in some cases both) every encounter to this point.
Vast majority of players aren't constantly thinking about optimizing much at all -- and that's OK! Lot of players have genuinely never thought about it because it's their way to brain-off and relax. And as in most human things, ego dominates and some people just say things to seem knowledgable, unfortunately. The best one can do is educate and inform!
@@hardcamlI do firmly believe tho that works of fiction and entertainment (such as movies, video games, books, hell even music) are best enjoyed when one does *not* "turn their brain off." I'm not saying everyone should optimize everything, I agree that everyone has their playstyle and way of enjoying things. However there is so much more to be gained when you can take everything in, every detail, and not just let it pass on you.
@@math9172Agree, if you're going to partake in media you should be aware of it in many aspects. But this isn't how many people operate, and I'm not keen on asking others to think the way I do either especially on the internet 😅
@@TheRifild that’s a loaded question. You probably missed a bunch of secrets. You can also complete quests, then kill quest givers for exp again, maybe even murder both grove and goblin camp. I think on a playthrough where I did everything good, I was 9.5 going into this fight, and leveled to 10 before finishing act 2
Fortunately or not, entering the combat mode in this game is broken. You can basically kill everyone with ranged/spell attacks while not entering a turn-based mode. Even without greater invis, staying hidden outside the line of sight, you can do the same. There are not many occasions where you are forced into combat mode by triggering a cutscene, so it's a viable playstyle. A sneaky bastard)
Greater invis specifically enables the damage output here. Staying out of vision via hiding or being far away or even Darkness is not sufficient for many boss-level encounters as you will trigger combat. Some encounters like Ansur will always trigger combat even if invisible.
Yes actually! Killing any guard in Moonrise towers while another guard or coded as a member of the guard faction is nearby (does not include goblins, pilgrims, ghouls, or the Zhentarim) will trigger combat, but you remain invisible. Don't ask me why though, I couldn't tell you. It's only in Moonrise.
@@vincentcircharo8259 it is worth noting that the roll gets increasingly harder on every attempt, which makes stuff like pass without trace, must have if you want to rely on greater invis for multiple turns
I still wanted the dialogue for the fight, personally. So what I did was use invisibility on Astarion, position him right next to Dame Aylin so I could immediately free her as soon as the fight started, then did the same to the rest of my party so I could put each of them in the optimal position. THEN I started the dialogue. Lemme tell you, doing that makes the fight a whole lot easier. 😅
It's possible the person is using mods, but the general gist of the build itself seems to be trying to stack every damage increase possible on both eldritch blasts and scorching ray. Notice that the first spell used is perilous stakes which makes the person vulnerable to all damage (2x damage on all sources). After that, the electric staff u get from saving the burning woman in waukeen's rest gives u electricity stacks. At 5 stacks, u discharge for like 1-4 damage. Combine this with eldritch blast (with agonizing blast augment) and the fact that it releases 3 separate bolts, u essentially get 6 or something stacks of electricity. Scorching ray hits 3+1 per spell level and since warlock should be spell level 3-4 or something, that's a lot of rays. This also interacts with electricity. There's probably some other specific electricity generating items on the character but that's the general explanation of the build. They also used greater invisibility (spell choice or maybe scroll) and that lets them spam their abilities without being put into turn based mode. Quite powerful lol.
guys this wasnt modded and ALSO keep in mind he didnt even need to be level 10 for this build to work, he only really needed 2 points in warlock, 1 point in rogue and get to lvl 7 on anybody that can learn greater invis. Second thing, this build has since been patched
Honestly I just went in guns blazing with my bear barbarian monk and built ability drain on him so he couldn’t hit well anymore, tanked all of Kenthric’s smites, released Nightsong with Gale. I effortlessly reached the second phase and 1 well placed perilous stakes was all I needed to defeat the avatar in a single turn.
I don't. You are seeing Pass Without Trace. In any case, I am not doing Piercing damage at all here + Ketheric is already vulnerable to all damage types due to Perilous Stakes. Vulnerability is Vulnerability is Vulnerability, and does not stack.
This is modded right? 3 Eldritch Blasts with Greater invisibility means you are atleast Level 10 or more which is not the level you are expected around this boss fight
@@nowimpanickin7167 if this is legit then I stand corrected. Either you planned this really well or this is not your first playthrough but regardless sick planning that you didn't even trigger the turn-based battle LMFAO
