100% should have been said in the video, the guy is not giving tips he's just farming clicks. Makes it sound like its permanent because he knows people wouldn't give a shit otherwise. I wont be clicking on his shit again and i advise yall do the same.
I decided to use mine against the goblins outside the run down temple this time. Pretty fun being lvl 3 and taking them out xD I also once used it against the gith guarding the mountain pass, one round later, it was dead... :/
In act 1 the only group I wasn't able to kill were the githyankis with the dragon by the bridge. They easily killed my spectator and didn't even have to use the dragon lol
It is the only reason I won against Balthazar in Night Song area. I was losing BAD, but then chucked the iron flask into the middle of his archers and it cleaned shop
I only ever hear this from people who haven’t gotten very far or haven’t beaten the game. You’ll eventually see exactly how limiting this game can be. You won’t even notice until you do multiple playthroughs and realize how EASILY you can lock yourself out of 60+% of the game by simply taking a right instead of left (even though both paths end in the same room, looking at you Yurgil and the entirety of your quest line/characters/story/cutscenes, etc. that completely disabled if you go right and not left, making Yurgil seem like just another random fight, when there’s a HUGE amount of content around him). BG3 is extremely scripted and linear, it just doesn’t tell you that. So when you lock out entire quest lines, they just vanish. You won’t know, you can’t see them, it’s just gone. That’s the “freedom” you’re referring to here, you have the freedom choose left or right, but only one of those leads to game content, the other just locks it out, leaving it for another playthrough. The IDEA of freedom is a pretty good marketing tactic though. Really gets newer players buzzing, but in reality, like most games that give the player the illusion of choice, it’s just that: an illusion. Most dialogue options (especially those “funny” ones you choose to look cool to your buddies) all have the exact same response from the person you’re talking to. 5 dialogue choices? 1 response. Or if you choose to kill someone, the very next cutscene has that person talking because it’s just scripted that way (looking at you Shadowheart and Moon Song, chatting like nothing just happened, like I didn’t just make a decision that the game said, “nah, that’s not in the script, man. Despite us deliberately giving you that choice, we didn’t account for it in the code”.) As I said, once you get more experience in this game (and almost all games like it), you’ll see what I mean.
@@zebdawson3687 still better than anything else on the market. I'd rather them take this approach, encouraging to try new playthroughs and other classes.

Does this make everyone at the circus aggro you?

More like a make a fight more chaotic in act 1 / early act 2. It's aggressive to everyone including you. Definitely don't use it in a fight where you have allys or neutral npcs around. Past the mid point of act 2 it gets more useless since it's level 5, at best it'll distract an enemy for a couple turns
@@Zyklon_B_still_and_know_GodI threw it at the 2 spectators in house of hope, despite being lower level, it was bigger in size and actually held its own as it took out all the Mephits and stunned the other 2 spectators while I focused them down
@@Zyklon_B_still_and_know_God i used it at the very end of the game with the dragon, tactician. it tanked! i think it was still alive when they went through the portal
Yay, i just became an Oathbreaker and wasn't sure what else my powers can do! Im still learning the game, but so far, its alot of fun. I'll take all the advice please!!! 🙏
meanwhile i knew nothing about this and was planning to use the spectator as a wasp nest in a mason jar, it won't ask whos ass to kick it will just do it
And there I was always releasing the Spectator at the grove fight just sitting back and watching it decimate the whole goblin (and sometimes parts of Thiefling) army ...
You can also take the chest to the Zentarim, give it back to them, so you can buy the gear from their vendor (gotta get that titan bow!). After giving the box back, just pickpocket her and take it back. Pop invisibility and vanish into the night. Now you have the best bow in the game and the iron flask for fun.
Cool, not like I'm gonna do that anytime soon, but still cool. Since I'm still a noob at this game (just made it to the Inn at the start of act 2), my question would be, is it just gonna stay until the next long rest or is it a permanent companion until it dies. Seriously, I don't have any idea about these things😅
I’m not 100% certain but I’m playing as a necromancy wizard in my main game and all my undead thrall leave after a long rest so I’m willing to bet the same thing happens here :/
Controlled undead via an Oathbreaker will follow you around until you take a long rest. Upon leaving your camp the next morning, said undead will be free by then and waiting where you last entered your camp. You will need to make the check to control it again, as it will be hostile. Be very careful where you choose to leave it, as your potential thrall will also be potentially attacking innocent people, and it could also die by the local guards or something.
Damnit, shouldn't have waited until act 3 to end up breaking my oath, I had everything I needed for this and it would have been funny with this paladin durge playthrough
Honestly, I threw this buddy to say hi to Auntie Ethel. Oddly enough she stayed to kill it. She also got odd death speech when speaking to dead, when you didn't kill her but someone else, spectator in this case.
I threw the spectator at Grym while my party and I took invisibility potions and shot the lever in the adamamtine forge, I thought that was the only way I could make it fight for me lmao
Did they fix bug where your undead ally will stop following you around if moved by a blast or throw etc.. than just stand there; cause if so this would be fun.
I gave that Flask to Astarion after getting it back from ninefingers lair through a quest. I completely forgot about it because it was first delivered by Rugan whos content got cut and he didnt return to Baldurs gate as one of our allies. I opened it at camp thinking it would fight with us....nope.

oathbreakers control undead leads to some of the most fun pets, from skeletons, to driders, to thorms, to spectators
The absolute doesn't want you to know this but malus thorm is free for the taking
But if you kill the drider in act 2 it will not bring back as an undead because he have the lamp ?
@Simszer7 you can force them to give you a lamp. Then they try to get to moonrise without it and become shadow cursed undead.
@@Simszer7 you can convince him to give you the lamp then leave. You find him and the caravan just outside moon rise as undead
you can get glut to rez the bullete, then control the bullete and kill glut
Act 2 for Oathbreaker is just one big pet store where you walk through and adopt all these misfits and then steal Ketheric's dog.
Is it bad that of all the brutal things I would do in this game, stealing Ketheric’s dog is the last thing I would think of?
YOU CAN STEAL HIS DOG? , THATS HIS CUTE LITTLE DOGGO??
But can you have his dog forever?
HE HAS A DOG!?!
You can also make Ketheric your pet with Oathbreaker and make him kill all his guards in moonrise tower's
"This is Cuddles. He's very friendly. Now let him smell your hand."
No don’t run from him that will trigger his hunting instincts- CUDDLES PUT THEM DOWN THIS INSTANT!!
I prefer Being turned to stone tbh
I'd love to but I don't see a nose.
"I-I don't like the way all his eyes are looking at m-"
"I SAID, 'LET HIM SMELL YOUR HAND'!"
"...so anyway, that's how I lost my arm. To be fair, he was as friendly as a puppy from then on."
Being an Oathbreaker Paladin in the Shadow Cursed Lands: "It's free real estate."
I literally heard it in the voice lol
Imagine, Jaheira and the harpers in front of the moonrise gates watching Tav and party fighting a spectator just beyond the bridge
then watching tav bring the spectator into the inn like a dog
"One second! Im doing a thing" - Tav
@@thej6846 "don't worry, he don't bite"
Jaheria: “scouts what are they doing?”
Harper scout: “it seems they are killing and reviving a weaker beholder”

Jaheira remembers when you saved a child's dog only for the child to become a demon and fly away.
Or when you freed a genie then had to fight it
But its worth noting it disappears forever after you rest, so be sure to use it prior to a big fight (like a certain temple or tower)
Are you not able to put it back into the Iron Flask?
@@wulfgar1968nah, this isn't pokemon
That when you use mods and use the reusable flask. Easy.

@FranciscoTorres-jz2ow yeah I'm not sure you're ever expected to beat them at that level, I spoke with them lol.
Never have i ever throw it without saying " who's that pokemon? It is tentacruel"
Tentacruel with a hint of mimikiu... Or maybe one of the many other horrifying Pokemon...
"no it's pikachu" reveals eldritch horror Pikachu
It's one of 100 items I'm hoarding. I'm officially a BG3 hoarder on my first playthrough 😅
You can also pick up barrels with kobold in them as well. Mini Dragonites.
Necromancer: I CONTROL WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES!
Oathbreaker Paladin: Pff... That's cute...
Literally did necromancer and then realized I have to hoard bodies to be effective, so paladin should’ve been the move if I wanted undead pets…
Using the spectator mid battle should come with a voice prompt "With this treasure I summon..."
This is my Spectator! His name is Mahoraga. He doesn’t bite… much
The level of freedom that the game allows you is just insane
My favorite is allowing Astarion to Past Tense, pay Withers to resurrect him, then steal your money back while he's distracted 😂
.....And yet we still don't have the freedom to take my precious son Mishka back to camp.

too late, and the pet is gone after long rest.

no joke i literally just got that flask and had no idea what it was but was scared to open it and then got recommended this soon after 😆
Gotta catch em all
Idk how many times I can play through this game but EVERY time it’s something different. We aren’t worthy of your love Larian.
Well now I know what’s in the flask I just got
A good addiction to my solo run
So glad I just started an oathbreaker paladin playthrough yesterday
Is it in your army permanently?
Yay, i just became an Oathbreaker and wasn't sure what else my powers can do! Im still learning the game, but so far, its alot of fun. I'll take all the advice please!!! 🙏
I wish I could save this for when I play through the game again 😂 this is genius
AAAAAWWWWWWWWWW, IT'S SO CUUUUUUTTTTTTTTEEEEE.
Awww, i thought by pet you can take it back to camp
That was 100% the way it was worded yes. It was the intention
Best underdark friend is using gluts mushroom spores on the bullet
as if it wasnt fearsome enough, now its a Zom-beholder
Welp, if I ever need the Spectaror for something. Now I know. Lil guy is staying in the flask rn
After watching this shorts 'I'll catch you next time' hits different.
"He don't bite"
"he got teeth don't he?"
I used it to beat the stealwatchers at the foundry in act 3. He took à meen beating but won me time
I always love games that have random tricks and strats that work because of coincidence lol
I just fought that dude! Scary fight!
At least I had some reprieve by turning him into a sheep just about long enough to kill the summons
I keep seeing vids that refer this to be "early" act 1 and that's how I KNOW this game is massive, holy crap
meanwhile i knew nothing about this and was planning to use the spectator as a wasp nest in a mason jar, it won't ask whos ass to kick it will just do it
That seems alot more usefull that the way i used it, if a battle is getting slow or boring i whip out that bad boy and spice it up a little
The possibilities in this game is endless really one of games that can if there will be a hall of fame of all game industry it would be on tops
I COULDVE GOTTEN THIS DONE THIS WHOLE TIME AS A PALADIN
Wtfff that’s amazing!
that is one creepy enemy! i love it!
Pretty sure its a lore reference of a massive primordial of fire and lava being locked in the flask.
you can also make a mushroom zombie from that big monster mole in underdark - it even can eat magic tower canons
I couldn't figure out wtf that flask did. Thx!
Oh well now I wanna make an oath breaker necromancer of some kind
I rolled my first paladin just for this. Had no idea paladin is the real necromancer
In my evil playthrough i will be a grand necromancer oath breaker with an army of boss level pets EHEHEHEHEHEH
ITS SO CUTE WHAT?! Fluffy eyeball, I need it
And there I was always releasing the Spectator at the grove fight just sitting back and watching it decimate the whole goblin (and sometimes parts of Thiefling) army ...
Alternatively, throw the flask at a pile of enemies and RUN LIKE HELL!
Turns a fight with 20 enemies into 10, too easy.
Lmaooo literally saved me against Baalthazar
Y do that instead of a battle that after defeating the main enemy ends the fight. Save it till the final boss and just let it do the fighting
he's so adorable
