Holy crap do you have your gamma and brightness cranked up, man I hope you did that just for visual purposes and the RUclips video because that is not how you should be playing this game at all
regarding the volo ring, you can actually just buy it off volo right as soon as you first meet him in the druid grove you just have to open trade via the trade button on the bottom left in dialogue
It's great for people who run Astarion and let him feed every night; you can instantly cure Bloodless first thing in the morning without needing to use a cleric's spell slot
@@destinygalearies7382 I planned using it with my Dark Urge run. LOL accept I somehow had so many other things trigger that after killing Neer. Astarion had the exclamation mark over him. Then when I initiated dialogue wondering what it it was about, He just flat-out told me he was a vampire and then seemed to just automatically gain his bite ability after the conversion finished. At least I think it was too many other things happening I long rested quite a few times before reaching the Underdark in general, not just the Grymforge overall.
you missed the boots that electrify any water you stand in… combined with that ring that makes you immune to lightning.. then drop a create water on that character..its shocking
You can get a 2nd quasit if you go through the mirror and have another character talk with shovel, then you can have that character summon quasit, now 2 shovel’s.
If you want a bunch more Orthon explosives, when attacking Yurgir, make sure you are close by when he is low on health as he drops a bunch of them, and if you are quick enough on your turn you can run around and pick them all up before they explode. I ended up with about 10 from doing that.
the ring of fling sold by arron at the druid grove and the returning pike are OP well into the end of act 2. i had laezel throw that thing for the majority of the game, even after acquiring a silver sword. the returning pike just does far more damage after the bludgeoning damage bonus _from gravity_ is factored in. since she's a natural jumping athlete who also has misty step, get her up high and just start dropping some pike. even if you miss the attack, the fall damage from the pick does bludgeoning damage, and then the returning part does a bit more, and both of those instances of damage are affected by the ring of fling, adding another 2d8 of damage or so. when she got into two attacks per round plus action surge plus potion of speed, she would one shot _entire encounters_ often in the first round of combat. the forge guardian i think took two round, especially since it's also got vulnerability to bludgeoning damage. it feels like cheating, and all of the items required are available in the first ten minutes of the game.
i even had her misty step up onto the bridge where you first meet kithrak voss and murdify her own people who were level 5 while i was merely level 3. she was easily doing 40+ damage per throw on average, often much more than that, multiplied by the total number of attacks per round equating to hundreds of damage per turn.
Not many people like Laezel. People don't play her nearly as much as, per se, Gale or Shadowheart. He isn't hidden by any means, just not exactly very common for most play throughs.
A fun combo the wife figured out was Phalar Aluve and the Shield of Scorching Reprisal. Shriek is an action, Blazing Retaliation is a bonus. If your character has the reverb gear, and they attack you and miss (which the probably will since the shield adds 3 AC) the shield hits them opp with fire damage, making the sword hit for thunder, making the reverb gear to go off. Shriek is also a condition so it trips the reverb gear too. its honestly kinda busted.
@@mitiamedthe game shits metric tons of camp supplies on your party if you look around for it (more like bother to pick it up) so resting isnt much of a hurdle.
@@PuskasMarton I'm not talking about the supplies economy of resting, more about being able to do something more than once per battle or - like in my case - doing rare rests to maintain bigger bonuses you get that expire after resting (most of my act 3 playthroughs go with one long rest)
Just barely found a lever on the top floor of arcane tower that you have to pass a perception check on, but it opens the basement! No need to kill poor bernard 🎉 it’s near some pipes right against the wall!
The proper way is to read the books in the tower and recite him poetry you find. That will cause him to give you the ring. You equip it and can go to the basement.
For the blood of lathander mace quest, to get the crest, you can skip the weapon collecting part, and just walk up to the wall that opens, pass a perception and sleight of hand check and open the secret wall without having to collect the weapons
I usually convince them to work for me in exchange for them eating the bodies of the enemies they kill for me, then I summon them to kill the spider matriarch, hide my characters until the spiders and ogres are almost dead then finishing them all off and taking the circlet. Then I have it almost for the whole of act 1. Does wonders for my druid
you also cant summon them if youre in the rafters (since the ogres cant path to you) if you summon them while the people inside the goblin camp are neutral, the ogres will start smashing regardless i stood next to dror ragzlin and blew the horn in his ear, then just went invis and waited for the ogres to clean house in real time, which they did, while not having to wait for turn order.
@@jinxysaberkI watched a full play through before I decided to get the game. Insane why I did that because I was INSANELY confused on the first run lol
My first playthough when I found the 2 chairs, I solved the puzzle, looted the room, then regrouped my companions prematurely. They all jumped into the room and the door closed
Hey there! I never thought I'd learn something new about BG3, being I've explored every nook and cranny of the game in my 1st playthrough. And yet I have! Just FYI, the Guiding Light ring can be obtained without killing Bernard if you read some books on your way up to the top floor, and then choose the appropriate responses. He'll lay it on the table and then you can pick up the lightning resistance ring before you fight him, if you want to fight him at all. Also, if you expose Kagha as a Shadow Druid and then steal the idol, the Druids won't attack the Tieflings either.
The only problem with the whispering promise ring: If you actually cast bless with any character and then use the character with the ring to heal a blessed character, it reduces the time, bless stays active on the healed character as the usual bless spell lasts longer than two turns and gets overwritten by the bless spell of the ring.
Really good list and included a couple of things I hand't found. You did miss one of the most powerful weapons in the game which can be easily missed by killing the wrong Duergar in Grymforge, and that's the Bow of the Banshee. Frightened on hit with a bow is insane at locking enemies, especially melee enemies, out of having turns especially if you combine it with things like Arrows of Many Targets, Slashing Flourish or Arrows of Ice (Frightened + Prone is a recipe for a stun-lock).
Agreed. I've been using that bow on my Gloomstalker Ranger/ Assassin all the way to Act 3. Saving the child from the Hag will get you the legendary Gom Triel bow
For the necromancy of thay in the blighted village, the key to the door it’s behind is actually on a shelf next to the exit wall in that room. Locking isn’t that bad but the key is there in case anyone doesn’t run dex characters in your party
I listened back to it and there is definitely no R in both the spelling of it and the pronunciation. I think it's the UK accent of many of the voice actors, but after listening back I can see how someone may have misheard it.
If you want to stay on the side of sovereign Spaw, you can use Glut (just click on his portrait and start walking, the others won't follow him) to enter the bibberbang mushroom field and save Baelen and get the noble stalk. You cannot pick up the noble stalk, but you can move it around (same with the backpack for Baelen). Just a heads up for people who don't want to side with Glut. There's also a ridge that runs around the bibberbang field where you can safely walk avoiding the bibberbang shrooms. At one point you come across a skeleton (it's hard to see, so you might want to cast light on your weapon to see better) which has a ring that gives +1 to survival and +1 to nature. It's called Explorer's Ring. Weird that you didn't mention this here.
You can get Volo's ring even earlier buy purchasing it from him while he is in the grove talking to the ox. Just choose to trade with him by left clicking the trade button in the bottom left while in conversation with him.
the book of thay dissapears if you get to sent to jail or enter the goblin camp and get knocked out by whats her face ive tried reloading the save and even the save before and after getting the book and its gone off the pedistol if i redo the area and its not in my inventory after i picked it up no matter what which sucks
I guess he hasn't heard Priestess Gut, Newborn Gnolls, and Harpies can also be turned into Spore Undead. Gut is amazing as an undead because she can give the entire party shield of faith without concentration. She can also use shield of faith and healing word without spending spellslots. MVP healer for the half of the underdark where Glut is on your side.
30:00 Gloves of Heroism. You don't need anyone in your party to open the door. Just place an object, even an empty pouch, on the chairs and the door will open. 31:20 Addled Frog. Just like with Buddy's treasure in Original Sin 2 if you succeed in your checks to find hidden items you can loot this quite by accident if you're simply wandering aimlessly.
For Pale Oak, does anyone know if it only protects you from vines created by Entangle, or are you protected from natural terrain vines as well? Even if it's only druidic vines, I wonder if it could be useful for a highly mobile druid/ranger to be able to Entangle a large area of foes, then run in and out of melee range to attack at will, or generally command terrain without worrying about getting trapped yourself
You don’t actually need the brand of the absolute for the gloves of power. It only says it in the flavor text, and you can start using them as soon as you fight the first set of goblins attacking the Druid grove, and see the effect applied long before you ever meet priestess gut.
Casting darkness over the area where the sylvanus idol is, you can steal it before going to the goblin camp and the druids will not attack the tieflings this way
I cleared the goblin camp and as everyone was packing up to go I was looting all the tiefling’s stuff- they just leave it all there when they’re clearing out. I went down to the idol, cast fog, snatched it and fast traveled the waypoint right outside, walked right back in and gave it to Mol who is right by the gate. Then I walked back down to where the idol had been and no one said a thing. After the tiefling party I walked back into the grove and Kahga was just standing right by the entrance so I killed her for the Broodmothers necklace or ring she has. Then I walked right over to the little guy who sells stuff and he said not one single word. So it’s still possible to tie up all quest lines. Even just knocking out Minthara will complete the 3 leaders quest so you can get the note from the swamp and stop the ritual, get the leaders and all their gear, even loot Mintharas armor so she shows up naked later in act 2 (or so I’ve heard. I just killed her in this playthrough). Then go back and steal the idol and then get Halsin and then go back and get Kahgas loot. I love this damn game lol
Re: Voss's sword, I just had a second invis character pick it up right after he drops it after a successful Command/Drop, and then just, in inventory, right click the sword --> send to camp, THEN just flee combat back to the portal and go back home.
Wondering something, is there a Losir for a Shadowheart origin run, someone you find in the pod you can free? Or is it empty cause technically you don’t have to free her.
Starting as Shadowheart just makes the pod empty, no extra character, so it ends up with just her, Lae'zel, and Us (if you saved them) on the nautiloid
IDK if the video mentions it as i didn't watch the whole thing but, you can pickpocket your gold off withers after you respec. just mash the button if you have a bad roll variable.
I bought the game only a few weeks after it came out but I’m just getting around to my first actual playthrough now. This video and the comments have been INVALUABLE to me. I wish I had the time and energy to dedicate to doing a bunch of play throughs and finding every secret and item, but it’s just not realistic for me right now. So inste b ad of feeling a lot of regret and feeling like I missed out on a ton of stuff in my playthrough, I can at least be aware of all of these and try to remember while I’m exploring.
Losiir is temp in texture rendering too as his shoulder plates illustrate 😂 You get a bonus from him too as his loot is almost the same as an origin character.
I still have the quasit Roll cos I keep all scrolls in case I need em ... So many hours in the game and I didn't know you could aslo learn these spells xD
one alternative for the ogre band is to use them in an overwhelming battle such as Mentghara so they die, only one use but you get the headband off Lump when he's dead
this is insane how much they put in there. what's even more insane is there is still stuff that isn't on this list and not just like 1 or 2 things but alot.
The problem with obtaining musical instrument proficiency is that you miss out on a great cutscene with Alfira performing the whole song if you ask what the song is about instead..
4:30 "if you don't have a druid or cleric in your party" Who's out there not bringing Shadowheart everywhere? One quick subclass change and she's OP as all hell as a healer/support. Especially with Zevlor's gloves. And the game REALLY wants you to have her with you anyway, since half of Act 2 is her story, and if you try to ignore her in act 1, the game literally throws her at you and shouts "TAKE HER WITH YOU" basically.
22:46 If you happen to have the corpse of any one of them tiefling children you can actually use it on them use an elixir of giants strength and equip a strong 2h weapon and get carried by them because they can't actually be in the fights so you just beat everything up with them. ez cheese strat for underdark
Can someone explain to me why there is next to the gnoll cave (the cave where u can get the iron flask --> Missing shipment quest) some bear noises? Like over and over again.... i cant find anything about it but it is also pretty strange... it is on the top left of the entrance, pls help me! pls help me
This is a dumb question but is this video a supercut? He keeps saying “number 2, and finally number 15, number 5” etc. and I want to make sure I’m not crazy 😅
if you use Lumps War Horn during the final battle protecting the grove, it will turn defenders hostile against you. At least it will if you use it inside the walls, which I did by accident. Don't know if it will if you use it outside the walls.
As for Shovel, there's a bit of a hack to get the summon ability on any character regardless of class. If you have a wizard or use Gale, you both can have him. Shovel is no different than a regular quasit but he does have fun dialog. The Blood of Lathandar mace is one of the best in slot in the game for an Aspect of Light cleric (especially if you set up with radiant orb/reverberation gear). It makes act 2 so much easier.
If you summon Shovel from your spell book then you won't get the summon spell from common list as if you summon it from the scroll. From common list any class you are you can summon Shovel.
I thought we had to damage Us at the start to recruit him later. I'm doing a third playthrough and just started. I've reached the grove. I guess I could restart to not hurt Us. It's better then having a damaged Us in Act 3 I guess.
I wish there was another way to get the ring of protection, I helped all the kids but did something else out of order on my HM run and now I am locked out of one of the best rings in the game
I don't remember what type of ring, but in the Baleen area (the one with the bibberbangs) starting from the left, there are some protruding stones that you can jump on and get the ring from a skeleton.
so the quasit pet if you summon it instead of learn it and chage your class later you dont lose the spell you keep the spell if you get through the mirror then talk to it
I didnt see Everburn blade. Its a flaming greatsword you can get on the nautiloid when the mindflayer orders you to get to the transponder and leave the devil to him. The trick is dont leave it to him, but once he is low enough health that he will probably be dead next turn you send one character forward just far enough to trigger the other hellspawn to appear. This way if the mindflayer survives the big devil he wont say "You are no longer of use to me" and decide to attack you, instead he will remain friendly and attack the newly spawned hell enemies. Here you want to B-line it to the transponder and leave him to fight the hellspawn because once they are gone he goes after you. The Everburn Blade is a favorite of mine early game. Its a green border uncommon with a 4-17 damage and a +1d4 fire damage. It may take a do over once or twice if the mindflayer dies too quickly, as he is doing the majority of the damage.
You don’t need the mindflayer to win the battle at all; you can just use command: Drop (if savescumming) and get it easily. This also allows the mindflayer to get the kill more easily and thus you will get the exp. Tbh though it’s hardly worth the extra effort. It’s nice having a sword you don’t have to dip to get the fire dmg but it’s really just a convenience 🤷🏻♂️

Not many people like Laezel. People don't play her nearly as much as, per se, Gale or Shadowheart. He isn't hidden by any means, just not exactly very common for most play throughs.

Bard also gets Charisma checks while reading Necromancy of Thay
For Pale Oak, does anyone know if it only protects you from vines created by Entangle, or are you protected from natural terrain vines as well? Even if it's only druidic vines, I wonder if it could be useful for a highly mobile druid/ranger to be able to Entangle a large area of foes, then run in and out of melee range to attack at will, or generally command terrain without worrying about getting trapped yourself
You don’t actually need the brand of the absolute for the gloves of power. It only says it in the flavor text, and you can start using them as soon as you fight the first set of goblins attacking the Druid grove, and see the effect applied long before you ever meet priestess gut.
Casting darkness over the area where the sylvanus idol is, you can steal it before going to the goblin camp and the druids will not attack the tieflings this way
I cleared the goblin camp and as everyone was packing up to go I was looting all the tiefling’s stuff- they just leave it all there when they’re clearing out. I went down to the idol, cast fog, snatched it and fast traveled the waypoint right outside, walked right back in and gave it to Mol who is right by the gate. Then I walked back down to where the idol had been and no one said a thing. After the tiefling party I walked back into the grove and Kahga was just standing right by the entrance so I killed her for the Broodmothers necklace or ring she has. Then I walked right over to the little guy who sells stuff and he said not one single word. So it’s still possible to tie up all quest lines. Even just knocking out Minthara will complete the 3 leaders quest so you can get the note from the swamp and stop the ritual, get the leaders and all their gear, even loot Mintharas armor so she shows up naked later in act 2 (or so I’ve heard. I just killed her in this playthrough). Then go back and steal the idol and then get Halsin and then go back and get Kahgas loot. I love this damn game lol
Re: Voss's sword, I just had a second invis character pick it up right after he drops it after a successful Command/Drop, and then just, in inventory, right click the sword --> send to camp, THEN just flee combat back to the portal and go back home.
I totally didn’t sell the dark mind and the slave mind
Helm of intellect is nice for arcane trickster and fighter mage. (Can’t remember name atm)
Wondering something, is there a Losir for a Shadowheart origin run, someone you find in the pod you can free? Or is it empty cause technically you don’t have to free her.
Starting as Shadowheart just makes the pod empty, no extra character, so it ends up with just her, Lae'zel, and Us (if you saved them) on the nautiloid
IDK if the video mentions it as i didn't watch the whole thing but, you can pickpocket your gold off withers after you respec. just mash the button if you have a bad roll variable.
I discovered this in early act 3 and found the extra 2k handy :)
I bought the game only a few weeks after it came out but I’m just getting around to my first actual playthrough now. This video and the comments have been INVALUABLE to me. I wish I had the time and energy to dedicate to doing a bunch of play throughs and finding every secret and item, but it’s just not realistic for me right now. So inste b ad of feeling a lot of regret and feeling like I missed out on a ton of stuff in my playthrough, I can at least be aware of all of these and try to remember while I’m exploring.
Damn! All these secrets in Act 1 alone! I got 2 toons to lvl5 100 hrs of playtime. Ain't no way I'm gonna find all these secrets...
Losiir is temp in texture rendering too as his shoulder plates illustrate 😂
You get a bonus from him too as his loot is almost the same as an origin character.
You can trade with Volo and get the Whispering Ring. And Shovel can be learned by magic users after going into the mirror.
I still have the quasit Roll cos I keep all scrolls in case I need em ... So many hours in the game and I didn't know you could aslo learn these spells xD
one alternative for the ogre band is to use them in an overwhelming battle such as Mentghara so they die, only one use but you get the headband off Lump when he's dead
this is insane how much they put in there. what's even more insane is there is still stuff that isn't on this list and not just like 1 or 2 things but alot.
Hell yeah this is what I have been waiting for
Please do this for Act 2 & Act 3 as well.
The problem with obtaining musical instrument proficiency is that you miss out on a great cutscene with Alfira performing the whole song if you ask what the song is about instead..
4:30 "if you don't have a druid or cleric in your party" Who's out there not bringing Shadowheart everywhere? One quick subclass change and she's OP as all hell as a healer/support. Especially with Zevlor's gloves.
And the game REALLY wants you to have her with you anyway, since half of Act 2 is her story, and if you try to ignore her in act 1, the game literally throws her at you and shouts "TAKE HER WITH YOU" basically.
On my very first play through I had all 6 of the brains on my tav. Thank god I had terrible inventory management
I had no idea Boooal existed. I missed that part of the Underdark.
22:46 If you happen to have the corpse of any one of them tiefling children you can actually use it on them use an elixir of giants strength and equip a strong 2h weapon and get carried by them because they can't actually be in the fights so you just beat everything up with them. ez cheese strat for underdark
Rofl
Who the fck came up with this
Can someone explain to me why there is next to the gnoll cave (the cave where u can get the iron flask --> Missing shipment quest) some bear noises? Like over and over again.... i cant find anything about it but it is also pretty strange... it is on the top left of the entrance, pls help me! pls help me
Why do people pronounce her name "KORGA"? THERE IS NO R. ITS PRONOUNCED AS ITS SPELT... KAH-GA
This is a dumb question but is this video a supercut? He keeps saying “number 2, and finally number 15, number 5” etc. and I want to make sure I’m not crazy 😅
the way any basic healing would literally save thulla and the plants there were like "reanimation :>"
if you use Lumps War Horn during the final battle protecting the grove, it will turn defenders hostile against you. At least it will if you use it inside the walls, which I did by accident. Don't know if it will if you use it outside the walls.
As for Shovel, there's a bit of a hack to get the summon ability on any character regardless of class. If you have a wizard or use Gale, you both can have him. Shovel is no different than a regular quasit but he does have fun dialog. The Blood of Lathandar mace is one of the best in slot in the game for an Aspect of Light cleric (especially if you set up with radiant orb/reverberation gear). It makes act 2 so much easier.
8:04 Danse Macabre summons 4 ghouls now, fwiw
Boooal's benediction got patched or something? I followed your instructions successfully, but didn't get the buff.
If you summon Shovel from your spell book then you won't get the summon spell from common list as if you summon it from the scroll. From common list any class you are you can summon Shovel.
Both my character and La’Zel failed to release Us on honour mode, WTF Larian, had to go back with Shadowheart 🙈
I thought we had to damage Us at the start to recruit him later. I'm doing a third playthrough and just started. I've reached the grove. I guess I could restart to not hurt Us. It's better then having a damaged Us in Act 3 I guess.
There is also a very good greatsword in act 1 that you can easily miss. The one held by flaming fist trying to save the counsellor
I wish there was another way to get the ring of protection, I helped all the kids but did something else out of order on my HM run and now I am locked out of one of the best rings in the game
why do spoil a complete quest that happens in act 3??? Fyou for spoilering that!!!!
Not sure if volo's eye works, the warden in act 2 went invisible and my monk mc still wasnt able to see her. Same for Orthon.
I don't remember what type of ring, but in the Baleen area (the one with the bibberbangs) starting from the left, there are some protruding stones that you can jump on and get the ring from a skeleton.
I mean you can also just kill the ox in act 2 anyway and it will still drop the fire hat and shapeshifter ring
holy crap! i'm missing so much things in my current playthru! thanks
How u have almost 100HP at level 6? even if you go all the way to act 3 with the best possible items is that even possible?
Why do you say so many different names incorrectly? they are literally said in the game. So annoying.
its not Lump's nose ring you can clearly see his nose ring, the headband is in his tummy thus how it got warped
so the quasit pet if you summon it instead of learn it and chage your class later you dont lose the spell you keep the spell if you get through the mirror then talk to it
only thing i never found on this list is the Worgfang.... after nearly 700 hours! wiiiiild
Kway-zit huh? Could've sworn it was Quasit (kwahzit)
You can actually use the sovereign to move the noble stalk so it doesnt get blown up
Bro how many times are you gonna say like and subscribe after each tip lol
The 2 chairs I just put vases on them. No companions needed.
30:10 uh you can also open it by just putting some vases or other objects on them...
Is it possible to get the hags eye and the lobotomised eye also?
Lump intelect circlet isnt his nose ring. He ate a mage and the circlet is stuck in his intestine.
Damn you! I'm going to have to view it again this time with a notebook at hand.
I didnt see Everburn blade. Its a flaming greatsword you can get on the nautiloid when the mindflayer orders you to get to the transponder and leave the devil to him.
The trick is dont leave it to him, but once he is low enough health that he will probably be dead next turn you send one character forward just far enough to trigger the other hellspawn to appear. This way if the mindflayer survives the big devil he wont say "You are no longer of use to me" and decide to attack you, instead he will remain friendly and attack the newly spawned hell enemies. Here you want to B-line it to the transponder and leave him to fight the hellspawn because once they are gone he goes after you.
The Everburn Blade is a favorite of mine early game. Its a green border uncommon with a 4-17 damage and a +1d4 fire damage. It may take a do over once or twice if the mindflayer dies too quickly, as he is doing the majority of the damage.
You don’t need the mindflayer to win the battle at all; you can just use command: Drop (if savescumming) and get it easily. This also allows the mindflayer to get the kill more easily and thus you will get the exp.
Tbh though it’s hardly worth the extra effort. It’s nice having a sword you don’t have to dip to get the fire dmg but it’s really just a convenience 🤷🏻♂️
These are only secrets if it's literally your first time playing the game
