@@howdj some people are physically unable to perceive written sarcasm. It's a brain issue, which they're unaware of, insisting they can understand it. By telling people you're sarcastic, you're being considerate to their mental issues, preventing them getting r/whooshed, which can be devastating to one's self-esteem. Think about it...
Yeah I'm a big fan from other games, and wanted to see it in BG3. It was surprisingly difficult to learn how to set up for myself, and a lot of NPC's just didn't work for some reason. I probably did stuff wrong though. Raphael for some reason would never fight back when I tried loading him in
I think a issue is that some of these guys are only tough due to mechanics/arena or items. I might be wrong but it looked like Cazzador didn’t have his staff for instance.
Yeah, another example is serevok not getting his buffs from those red things who's names escape me dying- I've seen him solo Raphael, yurgir and his cambions in another video with those, team bhaal would have done so much better with that.
Was working on another video before this, but my footage had all got corrupted, and I felt like re-doing a challenge video entirely again would just ruin the feeling. Sorry for the long time between uploads! I thought this would be easy to learn, but I spent 30 hours in the toolkit for this basic setup (mostly learning)

Give us a round 2!!! I propose adding Viconia and co (team shar), thieves’ guild (nine fingers and co), and splitting the undead coalition into team thorm and team everybody else who’s undead or something. Team Thorm would be Ketheric, Isobel, Malus, Gerringothe, and the bartender guy I forgot his name (no additional summons). Team undead would then be Cazador, Balthazar (+ Flesh), and Mystic Carrion + some ghouls of varying types (though I think the reason why Cazador was so weak is bc his powers revolve around his ritual, so when removed from his arena, he’s just a regular vampire). I think team Bhaal was only so pathetic bc neither Orin nor Sarevok had access to the mechanics that make their fights hard. Similar to Cazador, Orin’s fight is hard bc of her arena giving her unstoppable stacks. Sarevok is hard bc of his 3 ghosts, but there was only one. I’d suggest removing the weaker cultists and at least giving Sarevok all his ghosts.
Nine Fingers is a monster. She throws knives like a revolver throws bullets. When I used an extra difficulty mod Sarevok was the only one that gave me a headache to defeat.
Very cool idea. I know it would be very time intensive, but it would be interesting to see if the results would be the same if the teams were controlled by a player.
ohh that would be really cool, but I have no idea how to do that. The mod toolkit is surprisingly complicated, but it can allow you to do insane stuff.
@@ProxyGateTactician i think the pokeflask mod would allow you to do it pretty well! The only issue is how you would enable combat. Maybe having an actual enemy in a spot that it can't hurt anything to influence the fight, and just have the teams fight eachother instead of killing the stand-in enemy You would need an actual combat to be happening because otherwise some abilities wouldnt allow you yo activate them. Though, now that i think about it, the game wouldnt consider other creatures as enemies even in spite of this, so it wouldnt allow you to use certain abilities on them, so idk what im talking about i guess
What are you talking about? They put the deeper modding tools behind a rusty latch secured with a master lock. They couldn't possibly have known that people would find a way to break in.
@@Thougar I don't know if it's sarcasm or not, it's more like a begginer lock. Since the rumour says that wizards forbbid them to add a DM game mode like in divinity, so they did lock it up to appease them, but made it that these tools were ridicously easy to acces it/find.
If it had been 49 beasts they would have lost rounds 1 & 2 rather than making it to the finals... If all the beasts were equal, anyway. But what are the odds of 2 consecutive rounds of only 1/50 surviving? Props to Proxy/Larion for the balancing and seeding I suppose.
What happened to Raphael? Is there a problem with him due to the pillar mechanic of his fight? Cause with him team hell would definitely reach the final and has a good chance at winning that as well.
@@ProxyGateTactician Only guessing, but sounds like a scripting event and a missing trigger. Most enemies just fight by default, but those two have events that trigger their aggression. That trigger seems obvious in Raphael's case. In Ao Myrkul's case, maybe he's actually there hidden during your fight with Ketheric and you need to kill him and get the scene to trigger Ao Myrkul appearing and attacking.
the final fight being between "damage sponge hit like tank" and "team action economy" is about to be expected, but im not surprised ansur took it in the end.
I have played hundreds of hours of Baldurs Gate 3 and am so hungry for outside content. Proxy, you keep me so well fed. I'm frequently left speechless or cackling at your wit, dedication and storytelling. Major props and thanks to you, my guy. Definitely would love more AI vs AI content!!!!
Myrkul was the hardest one in my honor mode playthrough. I had to Alt-F4 my game 3 times before I got past him. Ansur was easy, because by then I had globe of invulnerability. Cheesy, I know. I tried to use it sparingly. I enjoyed the challenge of honor mode with the legendary actions. And I liked the single save, since it stopped me from save scumming dialogue checks. But I didn't want to lose 60+ hours of gameplay by dying. I also cheesed the fight with Raphael by setting up stacks of explosives next to the soul pillars when I first got there. That way I could take them out quick at the start of the battle and just fight Raphael normally.
Watching this video, I wonder if Larian may have tuned the AI of some of the NPCs for their specific fight... that may explain why a lot of the characters are acting wonky with their actions.
Thanks for the correction! I love that more people commented on this than myself calling the Bulette a beast lol. I thought for sure everyone would mention that it isn't one, but not 1 yet.
@@ProxyGateTactician I guess it's because people are used to it being a beast. It was a magical beast in 3e and a natural beast in 4e and even some of the official 5e material refers to it as a beast though the Monster Manual and BG3 list it as a monstrosity.
I ran a trial of Gortash against 50 bears before doing anything just to test if my battles can work and he actually won solo vs 50 bears. So I figured he’s pretty competent.
I hope I see more videos like these on RUclips honestly. I love watching the Soulsborne ones (especially Elden Ring and DS3) because as much as it's just pitting the game's AI against itself sometimes the fights are really spectacular, especially when there's a lot of effects going on on screen! Seeing people say recreate the Placidusax vs Bayle fight that apparently happened in the game's lore is really cool
This was cool! I really hope you do a follow up! You could have the druids, the tieflings, the grove attackers, Auntie Ethel & crew, the duergar, and so on.

Luckily this is one of the visible channels, where I can experience having some fun with AI vs AI battles.
@@ProxyGateTactician Is it possible you loaded in an instance of raphael that's not coded to fight? Like the versions you see around the map who dissapear when attacked?
@@Archmage_Marmu It's possible, but I couldn't find one that did fight. Gortash for example I had to try 5 different guys before I found the right one lol
Raphael is resistant to lightning damage and physical damage which is pretty much all Ansur can do. Ansur on the other hand is not resistant to fire damage. However I still doubt that Raphael could kill him because eventually Ansur would do that monstrous attack that annihilates anyone in its range, plus Raphael has a limited amount of fire spells.
I would suggest making it in a "league" tournament instead of a "play-off". I mean, you pick several opponents (4/6/8/whatever) and let them play one against each other. Because it can be that Yurgir lost to managery, but would win the dragon. With the "league" approach you could avoid this "unfairness of the draw" by making a table, giving 2 points for every victory, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss. It would be more interesting and fair
i dont think gortash was given enough allies. his entire gimmick is that he throws the overcharge grenades onto his steel watch during his fight to give them extra actions. as well as fighting you on unfair terrain with all of this traps.
Ansur and Cazzador are the only enemys i didnt fight when doing my honor mode run, simply because if the AI goes all out, you are in for a hell of a beating ^^
I thought it would all be 1v1s when I clicked on the video and mumbled something about "Time to watch Ansur kick everyone's ass" - I was wrong, and yet I wasn't! Very fun video, love stuff like this!
Yep that end result sounds about right. I encountered Ansur the Brozen Dragon on a legendary extremely modded (123 new different mods) pure hero Tav playthrough and was surprised at how powerful he is. I suppose Larian took it literally when I learned Dragons are some of the most powerful encounters in all D&D beyond BG3.
This was awesome! I'd love more videos like this, especially if you can get honour mode actions to work for even more craziness. The Githyanki team could go really hard with how the Githyanki midbosses have been buffed.
This makes me feel kinda happy that the closest fight to end my HM was Ansur, literally down to my Tav standing with 1 hp , saved by Death Ward, taking down the 1 hp Ansur who was also saved the previous turn by his legendary action. It's kinda funny to thing about how in the end, after all the gimmicks and special effects, the strongest thing is a big beefy target immune to several CCs , with big aoes.
Oooooh it would be cool to see Raphael and his ascended form in a scenario like this! Like I'd imagine especially without the cooldown, he'd be insane!
i like how the beasts have only one left after every battle but honestly even if they got ansur down i think his last-ditch breath attack would kill them
Would be cool to see how team Aylin does with her 3 angel friends. By far the hardest fight of the game in my experience, wouldn't be surprised if they handily wreck everybody else here.
Hey I love these videos and your commentary so much, the challenges you’ve done have all been so funny and interesting to watch!! And they’ve shown me a new way to enjoy BG3 through new hints and tricks I’d never even thought about ☺️
He's from the Brain battle the countermeasure that spawns if you have a ranger class in the final battle of the game. There's a unique version for each class
I think part of why Gortash's AI struggled so much is that it is built to fight you in a very specific environment with all of the traps dealing extra damage and his supporting units to tank for him.
I was kinda hoping for a 1v1 tournament, but seeing Anser (sp?) that really wasn't possible. A lot of the NPCs didn't have their plot armor on either, because they would have been impossible to kill. Maybe we could see the big stompy solo monsters duke it out, like the adamantium forge golem, the golden undead bro etc.
You should do a follow-up where you have the teams that are not designed around a specific arena or objects (beasts, ansur, illithids etc.) invade the ones that do (Cazador, Raphael, Gortash etc.) on their hometurf to see who comes out on top
Ansur deserved that, one of the few bosses that you actually have to properly pre-game and think about tactics unless you have some super cheesy min-max build.

@@ProxyGateTactician yeah like the pactbreaker for warlock and assassins folly for rougue
Fantastic video!
A great example of why summing spam is so good
you know the acid retort imp from the quarantined ship in act 3? dude solos
awesome video. would love to see ansur vs the raphael gang!
I think part of why Gortash's AI struggled so much is that it is built to fight you in a very specific environment with all of the traps dealing extra damage and his supporting units to tank for him.
I was kinda hoping for a 1v1 tournament, but seeing Anser (sp?) that really wasn't possible. A lot of the NPCs didn't have their plot armor on either, because they would have been impossible to kill. Maybe we could see the big stompy solo monsters duke it out, like the adamantium forge golem, the golden undead bro etc.
Videos like this are making me want to learn modding, i love this game so much
This channel reminds me a lot of Mitten Squad! I love your content, keep up the great vids
2:43 somewhere Karlach is laughing her ass off
Love the Divinity music - perfect choice
Can we have the Adamantine Golem vs Ansur
Golem would be immune to taking damage because of the passives. It needs lava
Final round was just combining the two most OP tactics in D&D: Action economy and AOE spam
You should do a follow-up where you have the teams that are not designed around a specific arena or objects (beasts, ansur, illithids etc.) invade the ones that do (Cazador, Raphael, Gortash etc.) on their hometurf to see who comes out on top
Ansur deserved that, one of the few bosses that you actually have to properly pre-game and think about tactics unless you have some super cheesy min-max build.
NPC Ai makes these unrealiable
Mostly yeah, but Ansur was pretty consistent.
I really want an arena mod to be made properly like creating interesting combat scenarios and ai Vs ai stuff would be endlessly fun
I would've loved to see Ansur vs Raphael here.
