PS5 user here. Some notes: * I could not get the throw/carry glitch to work with Shadowheart. No biggie here. Just send her to camp and go get her after you speak to the moonlantern people the first time. * You CAN clip through the Gauntlet of Shar. Took me a while, but I was able to get it to work by spamming the jump trigger (up on dpad) and confirm (x) while hovering over the spots he indicated. This worked in the Silent Library and to get into the room with the spear. Just took a while. * When jumping onto the barrel in the room with spear, I died a few times because the game would float me up to the top of the door. I figured out I could go to camp, cast feather fall, then jump down from that place it floated me up to into the room with the spear. * For the Ketheric fight. You can't animation cancel like he does during the fight so you will inevitably run out of charges of your witchbolt. Just use your firebolt cantrip. It'll take longer, but it won't trigger anything. Haven't done the gith fight yet, but will update this when I do.
Witchbolt running out is not because of animation cancelling. It's the same infinite status effect as with feather fall. I did it multiple times without the animation cancelling and had no issues
I was holding off following the guide due to the glitches being questionably doable on consoles. Did this trick work for the naut skip in the first vid?
@@SlyRamPlays I could not get it to work, but the fact that I was able to do the Oubliette skip leads me to believe it is possible to do the Nautiloid skip and I just couldn't figure it out. With that said, it doesn't take too much longer to do the glitchless route through the Nautiloid. Heck, it may be shorter with all the trial and error of attempting the glitch.
I am so shook that I managed to do all this first try! You did such a good job making sure to mention when something is time sensitive that I was able to follow along without having to prewatch anything. I am super thankful! Off to act 3 we go! haha
iam doing the speedrun on tactitian rn just to have some savestates so i can practice smaller portions of the speedrun to get it through in once in honor mode very good detailed and nice explained speedrun showcase realy helps a lot cant wait for the last act
I was waiting for this video cause act 2 is the hardest part of this speedrun as it requires the glitches, being careful not to be seen and timed actions. You explained everything really well and I was able to do everything just like you said. Thanks a bunch! Good luck with the events!
Got to the point when I can reach act 3 pretty consistently, although way slower haha. This is all very well explained, looking forward to the final act!
Thank you for the in depth tutorial! Was able to get to Act3 following your video and instructions. The jump glitches were tricky and took me some practice to get throw/pick up npc to work but it was oh so satisfying when it did! Can't wait for your next videos! Good luck at your events!
For anyone curious, this is completely replicable on ps5 for everything except the gith fight. I did have to use jehira to throw them off. Besides that the only other difficult spot was when you hop down from the prison to the oubliette, another comment mentioned it as well, Use fire bolt on the membrane. Then instead of angling the camera top down you need to be looking horizontally through the red glass looking area off to the right of where he is. You can still see the brains walking allowing you to replicate what he was doing in the video. Got my Foehammer trophy by just watching the rest of his actual speed run. Good luck!
@@TheWiserMonkey you have to pretty rapidly press the action to throw him and circle nearly simultaneously. So walk up to him, choose to select an object from the world. Then choose him and it’ll ask where you want to throw him. At that point like I said you pretty much need to instantly press X and O to do it. It’s actually very easy to do once you get it the first time.
For ketheric if you don’t have spell slots left or lost the infinite status glitch then you can simply fire bolt cantrip repeatedly when crouched. You’ll have to manually press C then hit fire bolt for each hit. Time consuming but better than restarting the run for achievement
AAAA Made it clean to the library in this guide and forgot to sneak like an idiot. And now Nautiloid skips are doing me dirty. Thanks again for uploading these.
I can confirm that these strats do work on console. I was able to finish Honour mode and was able to replicate most if not all of the skips and glitches. I can also confirm that finishing Honour mode stacks with the Tactition mode trophy on PS5. Awesome work my friend! Appreciate all the time and effort you put into these videos.
@@Azkadalia So what happened for me was I was able to clip into the wall, but I couldn’t walk out unless I switched to turn based mode. Then it allowed me to path out into the room. The jump cancel was the same as someone mentioned - rapidly press up on the D-pad and hit X until the animation starts and you’ll clip into the wall.
@k.s.8711 it worked! Thank you so much. I had made it this far and was really bummed at the prospect of going no further. Thank you again for those details, they really helped!!
@eddiems that part is so tricky and takes some practice. First, you need to destroy the 2 membranes. After that, instead of a top down view you have to be at a side view and look through the glassy window-like structures next to the watery area. The view is foggy but manageable. Tav should even comment on what's on the other side of that wall. At this point you jump following the vid guide for Tav placement until you get stuck in the ground. At this point you can now do a top down view of the area you want to be in. From her it's perfect timing and button mashing. You have to time your jump to be in the intellect devourers red path (you need to sneak to see it) and repeatedly jump cancel until you get it to snap. It acts like a teleporter rather than a jump if you do it right.
Dude your amazing, thx for the tutorial, you are a god of ambition my friend.Tho on 21:31 I got it first try,On accident XD I had more trouble with the barrel getting the spear.
I was not aware until your next video how the infinite conditions glitch worked and I kept losing it due to going into turn based mode in order to pause the environment while i watched for your next step. thankfully you explained it in the next video, but one of the main issues i ran into is that witch bolt expired on ketheric, meaning i had to level up my tav in order to cast a second witch bolt. luckily i was able to get through his first stage and his apostle of myrkul phase, except that it expired again with 13 hp remaining, i bit the bullet and just cast ray of frost, which has a similar interaction with the Wet condition that the lightning damage from witch bolt has, also i remained out of his line of sight so combat was not initiated. A VERY inconvenient thing to happen was that I prepared for the Gith Skip but did not execute it correctly. since i did not grab the potion of speed and since i used jaheira's action surge to get into the portal, this meant that I did not have the movement speed to make it to the gith honor guard. I was able to circumvent this by dashing, going into turn based mode, then dashing again before initiating the fight so that jaheira had one turn of the dash condition but still kept her actions. the void bulb did not knock down the gith on the floating stone but i luckily was able to jump to him and toss him. none of the gith attacked me and i was able to take two out on the next turn while the emperor cc'd the third one for me to toss him last on the next turn.
I was unfortunate that my Shadowheart was not sneaking after killing Ketheric, so Balthazar immediately killed her. Thankfully, there's enough gold around Moonrise to loot so you can have enough to revive her with Withers and the 100 needed to respec Jaheira. Just made it to Act 3. Thanks for these guides!
Unfortunately it seems like they've done something to the Moolantern in Patch 6 - whenever dropped, they attack me immediately if I pick it up. Also TB mode doesn't mean unlmited turns on jump and feather fall things, or at least it didn't work for me when done so as instructed in this tutorial. I'm afraid they might have patched it
Just FYI, if you run out of spell slots with Myrkul then you can beat him from the same location using thrown attacks. For me it was worth losing a minute to steal the Returning Pike from Grat the Trader in the Goblin Camp because he is right next to the exit for Act 1.
For anyone having trouble getting to the spear in the Gauntlet through the door: try getting the barrel close enough that it's just in the red then rotate it around (default is the mouse wheel on PC) until you are able to place it. I was having trouble and after doing that I was able to jump through.
This series has been extremely helpful. Only criticism of this video so far is that you mention that you may have to level up in order to get an extra spell slot for Command Dropping the Drider, but later on you mention that it is extremely important Shadowheart subclass into a Wizard. For people who are following along *with* the video, it would have been very helpful if you had mentioned quickly that you needed to subclass into Wizard during that time. I just had to restart a play through because of it. Great series otherwise though!
Thank U so much man! U are the boss :D Unfortunately throw/carry glitch not works for me, but it is still doable even without using thi glich. Also Killing Ketheric was tight because of bolt - it started to be "inactive" after some tries. But if U guys also have problem like this use your fireball - I suggest spam "C" button to sneak and have 44 or 46% to strike.
be careful at 37:38 because when i chose a feat after selecting the spell replacement, it erased the replacement and i didnt catch it until it was too late
FYI, Shadowheart can finish cutscenes and even leave the Shadowfell, before Tav enters the bossfight, and Kethric still won't attack them. The video of your speedrun looked a lot of fun, so I already tried to follow it just from that. Excellent stuff.
I guess I forgot to touch on this in the tutorial, but the main reason we don't want to finish Shadowheart's cutscene is because Jaheira will not be able to be recruited if we do finish the cutscenes, making the route for Act 3 not possible. So while you should be able to do the Ketheric fight just fine, not having Jaheira will make the Githyanki fight extremely difficult.
Got to act 3 after a few hours of trying! Thanks for the awesome guide! Cant wait for Act 3! Tho i could not get the throw kidnap trick to work at all. Hope its not critical in act 3 xD :D
hello. first of all, thank you for the time u take to make these videos! i can't do the oubliette braincat jump, been here stuck for an hour. is it patched? do u need to be precise at timing or u can spam it? thank you.
Thought I should clarify here, it was on a run where I lost the infinite effect glitch and didn't know how to reapply it, so I cast feather fall near shadowheart before she entered the shadowfell and because she already had feather fall (with a timer), it didn't apply the shadowfell one that doesn't have a timer.
This is solved quite easily. I also had such a bug. I just took "lightness of a feather" when leveling up Shadowheart instead of one unnecessary spell, and before Balthazar I replaced it with fog
Was really intrigued to see how the witch bolt shenanigans with Ketheric was possible. Had figured it might be something to do with doing Shadowfell at same time but wasn't completely sure. Not looking at the videos from a speed run perspective, only just completing Honour mode as cheesily as possible, so I was thinking if get Balthazar killed where you can first meet him in the Gauntlet (by getting him involved in the fight with the Dark Justiciars) is it still possible to pull off the glitch with Nightsong/Ketheric? I'm presuming yes because technically your conversation with her is similar to what you have if you have already defeated him and so I'm assuming just need to do the 6 skips and it'll still be fine.
I believe it should still be possible in the same way that way yes. Balthazar doesn't seem to have an effect on this route at all so you should be able to do it.

I figured out I could go to camp, cast feather fall, then jump down from that place it floated me up to into the room with the spear. * If you're like me and wasn't able to keep up the infinite status glitch, still use the witchbolt method against Ketheric, but just switch to firebolt when that runs out. It won't trigger anything. * Make sure you follow his instructions closely on the cutscene skip or else Jaheira will not show up at camp. * In the Gith fight, the speed at which he switches from Mage Hand to Tav is impossible to meet given interface differences. I was able to achieve it though with just one, well timed switch as Jaheira was walking through the portal. Thank you Chronos! Good luck at GDQ!
@@nigguin I think the only other piece of guidance I can give other than making sure the jump is lined up as he had it is that if you are mashing your buttons quick enough back and forth, you should trigger the jump within a second. If you’re mashing for minutes on end then the issue is timing as opposed to having to do it for a long time. Oh and make sure it only says Path is Interrupted as he had it. Hope this helps a bit
How did you manage with the camera angles on the 21:00 mark? The Oubliette skip? Managed to go all the way there on the ps5 but just can’t seem to skip that part, the camera angle just doesn’t show the other room :/
@@verkoka So I ended up having to go with a completely different camera angle. If you pan the camera over to the right, then take it out of the top down view, you can see them through some stretchy bits of flesh. You're not even really using a broken camera angle, because you are looking through the spot the game intends for you to see the other side from. Still stand where Chronos had you though.
41:36 the portal doesnt' stay when shadowheart dies no matter what I do. Am I doing something wrong or was this patched? I followed everything in the video near perfectly.
PC player here. I am having trouble doing the Shar temple overlap trick, Cause when i teleport away, my Tav still ends up in the shadowfell with sharty. Was this hotfixed out?
Some of the tricks are possible, I can not confirm all of them though, but it seems like multiple people are having some success on some parts of the run on console described in my tutorial series of videos.
I dunno if it’s a machine problem on my end, but Kethric keeps aggroing on Tav *while* Shadowheart’s still in the Last Light cutscene. It keeps killing my runs. I noticed in hotfix 15 some performance changes to the nightsong cutscene were mentioned. Anyone else having issues?
I tried just now, and everything worked up until Ketheric witchbolting. A couple of times the witchbolt ceased? So i recast it but ran out of slots. So i added 1 wizard level to get level 2 witchbolts. I continued bolting him, but at 18 health, he aggroed on me, even though Shadowheart was still 'in the cutscene'. Tav dead. @@saltysatan4299
Currently trying to do the gith skip on xbox, havent successfully gotten it, but will soon. on failed attempts im testing the next steps, does the mage hand need to shove her off? or can i just jump her off the ledge manually. because i cant get the mage hand to shove her off In the Oubliette i managed to get the top down view through the wall (xbox) and it helped heaps better than trying to side eye it through the glass. Still on current attempt testing things, but the way i got it was a failed jump into the room, it landed me on the wall sort of and i was able to get a top down view into the room, which made it easy to do on console
So it comes down to me getting as much confused as the ai of bg3. Why Kethric didnt attack and 1 tav in underwear defeats everything. After reading comments it seems kinda doable on my ps5 even. Might give it a try,but i like playing not glitching but find this video very impressive and entertaining as well as excellent editing quality. ❤Thumbs up !!
The Ketheric fight Witch Bolt trick no longer works, or at least on PS5 I wasn't successful. Also it seems like the infinite status glitch no longer works either.
I don't believe any of these will be patched, primarily since they don't affect standard gameplay, they aren't harmful in a standard playthrough, and make use of mechanics within the game that are generally more intended rather than fully unintended, such as animation cancelling to cancel actions and ways to get around failure checks.
29:00 when I try, combat starts it says stealth failed is there a special trick to pull it off in addition to going to that spot and being in stealth? I practice it in explorer and it's the same, combat immediately starts
You need to follow the stuff in the tutorial, with killing the Nightsong at the same time as entering Ketheric fight. This makes it so Ketheric's AI doesn't come up to start combat with you. You also shouldn't be having any stealth checks. The area you're jumping into should be out of sight from Ketheric. If you are jumping into his view, you'll initiate combat which you do not want to happen. That's why we jump to the very corner.
I get this question a lot, but I'm not sure since I don't have a console. If you're able to switch between characters during cutscenes, that should mean you can possibly do some of the glitches such as cutscene overlaps. However, I don't think jumping strats will work, but if it does, then the biggest skips should be possible, might need a turbo macro or something on your controller to do it to mash jump and action repeatedly, but I am not sure. For kidnapping or animation cancels, if you can cancel an action on controller, kidnapping and improvised weapon strats can work. TL;DR: I'm not sure, would need to have a console version to test, but it might be depending on what console can / can't do.
i just got through all of act 2 following pretty much every steps on PS5. The oubliette skip gave me the most trouble because of the camera being slightly different to the PC camera but it was possible once I broke the membrane wall and looked to where chop and the intellect devourers are from the side of the wall instead of using the overhead view
@@ANCIENTWARRI0R I'm on controller and for shadowheart to jump through the wall I just spammed UP on the D pad and X a whole bunch on ps5 controls, so the A button for you. I set the camera to the overhead view stood just to the right of the line on the floor and aimed the cursor just next to the lever pretty much exactly like the video showed. It took like 3 tries but it works
Unfortunately you would need to restart in this case. You shouldn't be leveling for Command: Drop since you should already have it as a spell that you switch out instead by opening your spells menu.
Do you think these runs can be done on console at all? Like I can’t custom keybind the same way and such, I know I could probably due to act 1 skips and such on the non shadowbox route but idk about the stuff in this act, haven’t watched the whole video yet.
Tried the gith skip and failed, portal just disappeared as soon as I shoved off Shadowheart, dunno if it was fixed in patch 6. Had no chance against gith, since 2 characters are dead, action surge spent and no haste potion :) And the gith were not near Orpheus, but near Jaheira, so I could not push them to that edge on the right.
hey i cant seem to get the orb puzzle skip down at 12:20, is there a chance its patched or are there any more indepth tips you could give on how to succeed it? thanks alot, respect for bringing your strats to the commoners like me gg
It isn't patched, but as said in the video, you should go closer to the door and a bit further away from the wall you want to clip through. When you mash for the jump, you should jump into the wall, then it's important not to touch anything to let Shadowheart fall down. If you don't clip properly through the floor, you would walk out, meaning that you were to close to the wall or too far away to the door.
@@verkoka According to one of the comments down below it is possible on PS5: I'll copy some of it here: * You CAN clip through the Gauntlet of Shar. Took me a while, but I was able to get it to work by spamming the jump trigger (up on dpad) and confirm (x) while hovering over the spots he indicated. This worked in the Silent Library and to get into the room with the spear. Just took a while. In general, you need to spam jump and confirm as fast as possible at the correct spot, and it should eventually work.
I did the act 1 without glitches but i can't do the wall clip here bc i just cant. maybe i'm the only one but it is impossible for me. how do you do it?
PS5 users: If you are having trouble getting past the door of Shar to retrieve the spear, it is pretty easy to open the cage using the lever, then sneak over to the bookcase and get the book Teaching of Loss: the Nightsong, in order to open the door properly.
I would love to see if there is a way to reapply it as well. I lost the infinite status effect because I wasn't successful in staying undetected by the zombies you have to leap through to get to Act 2. Once you enter turn based combat it removes the infinite status. I just started over until I was able to pass them successfullly.
@@SomnambulistMist oh i thought the bug is much more complicated involving switching acts. For all that have the same question: to reapply the bug just kill tav, loot, turn on turnbased mode, pick up, end turnbased, throw tav back on the ground and revive.
@@ChronosReturns i had to lvl up her in mage to get feather falling as if i tried to jump from one rock to another i got the mark that she were die in the first one, the messed up with the fireworks > long rest > a kid appeared > orin was not disguised as a kid > i died
hi i made it to act 2 thanks to you but then i get to the moonlatern but when i take it from the ground the group start a fight so i don't get how i can bypass that is it because of a patch or am i doing it wrong ??
Nope, this happens if you fail to rapidly switch between the characters. It may or may not succeed sometimes as it is weird occasionally, but it is not patched out.
I made a mistake ;;; and Shadowheart isn't crouching/stealth when I right click to exit the cutscene with Isobel... So, Belthazar summons everyone walks away and casts a spell that 1-shots her before I can even get a chance to go to the portal :c
@My0bi i was able to do it after several tries on the first part but after getting the moonlantern, i couldnt get it to work so i just sent her to camp
When I click "Continue to Baulder's Gate" with my Tav, and end it up in the prison, it instantly cuts to Balthazar confronting my Tav and Shadowheart together. If we skip past that, my tav and Shadowheart are back in the shadowfell. I think this essentially kills the run. Wondering what went wrong and if I timed it incorrect, or something in the recent patch prevents this.
It still should work on the current patch. You need to make sure that you click continue to Baldur's Gate after skipping all of Shadowheart's cutscene when entering Nightsong's Prison. If you click continue to Baldur's Gate before skipping the cutscene, both of your characters will be teleported to Nightsong's prison.
On Patch 6, picking up the moonlantern causes aggro, there are methods to get around it which I will try to discuss about in the future, including hiding while stealing it, moving it around until Karniss can no longer take it, etc, but I'll need to test it myself.
So Jaheira joins us because we defeated Ketheric Thorn before the cutscene killing everyone at the Inn finishes? Does Ketheric not aggro from the witchbolt damage because the player is Hiding? Or is just a glitch with that particular spell and location?
Jaheira joins us because we defeated Ketheric Thorm before the cutscene finishes, so that's correct. Ketheric does not aggro because of the weird state that he is in from Shadowheart being at Shar's temple killing the Nightsong, since generally a lot of other things are supposed to be happening at the same time. You don't need to kill with Witchbolt either, just as long as you're far enough away to not start Ketheric's cutscene, meaning that you can technically also do it with a fireball cantrip as well.
so uhhh so when i clicked continue to baldurs gate on my tav shadowheart teleported from the nightsong and was pissed at me and left my party. does this kill my run or can i continue without shadowheart
@verkoka actually I did so basically to go past the membrane and walk down some into the the pile of rocks and I tried a few different angles and turn on the tact and turn the camera to the side and move the cursor through the see through part and do it like that it will mess up a few time and you'll just jump through in the wall literally and the tact camera will go into the area they are in But you do it like he said and yes you have to time it in front of chop or the brain walker (I did brain walker) and eventually you'll do it I have done it is possible and i made it all the way to act 3 following the rest of the guide YES it well fail a few and you probably get upset like I did I actually sat there for 2 hours doing it sorriy i typed so much i wanted to give as much details as possible good luck hope this helps you ☺️ 😊 (If I messed up somewhere and misspelled something, my phone is on 4%, so I rushing to type this so I dont forget lmao)
@@ascendantgamer21 thanks a lot for the detailed reply, do you mean the rocks close to the water? And trying to jump aiming through the “glass” wall? I just keep falling into the floor and everytime I try to wall clip he stays there makes me not lose hope, gonna try it then ahah and merry Christmas 🤣
the act 2 wall jump still works in patch 6. although i had to use a autoclicker to do it, little to old to Shift + mouse scroll that hard. Spider dude aggrod but thats ok, i gave one of withers hirelings to them to play with will i took off
I believe that wall clip still works on Patch 6, but I would need to test things. There's quite a few things that are patched out so I'll probably need to redo a lot of tutorials and update the route for glitchless as well.
Good to know it's just a me sucking at implementing it. I'm trying for a glitchless run atm. Since I'm not at speed on those, I'm rescuing Scratch everytime. Bestest boy!
Nope, it still works. It is pretty precise, basically frame perfect to do. If you're too far away from the character or object you want to do it on, the timing is different that from if you're close to it. It is fairly fast, so you need to do the action, then cancel it fairly quickly after. If you cancel it too early, the object will be placed at the exact same spot. If you cancel it too late, the object should switch positions to another spot near you or do the action.
I forgot to mention it in the tutorial but I did reply with the answer in one of the comments so I'll repaste it here: The main reason we don't want to finish Shadowheart's cutscene is because Jaheira will not be able to be recruited if we do finish the cutscenes, making the route for Act 3 not possible. So while you should be able to do the Ketheric fight just fine, not having Jaheira will make the Githyanki fight extremely difficult. This is referring to the cutscenes talking to the Nightsong around 27:00. Basically only skip the cutscenes until the Nightsong dies, but do not go any further or else the Last Light Inn will be destroyed, causing Jaheira not to join the camp.
I can't get the jump through walls right. Any advice on how to do that properly? I'm on PC and smash jump-key and left click but no jump occurs. I had to go through the Gauntlet of Shar the normal way and are now stuck in the Oubliette.
Have you done the bind for scroll wheel click? If not, I recommend doing that. Also, I believe it works a lot better on 60 FPS, which you can set in the settings for your frame cap.
I've added comma to the "interact" action and it worked. 😀 Thank you. Also, I wanted to add that you are creating awesome content. I'm glad to have found your channel.@@ChronosReturns
Hey, @Chronos, when I enter the Shadowfell, It all looks like the videos layering works okay, until I select Tav in the Moonrise Towers prison and Shadowheart keeps showing up there and keeps leaving the group. Any advice on what I'm doing wrong? I managed to get it right the first time through on my first try, but now I keep getting it wrong and not sure why
It's hard to say without a video to reference from, but make sure everything is done correctly and in the right order. Most likely, it might also be the case that your characters are grouped, which will cause Shadowheart to come with Tav to the prison and leave since she is grouped with you and leaves the party since she failed her quest of defeating the Nightsong
does anyone know how to get jaheira for the gith part? He said if I did everything right I should have her in my camp but I must be doing something wrong because she isn't and it has happened twice, idk what I could be doing wrong everything else up to that point goes smoothly but for some reason I can't ever get jaheira in my camp
Hello, I'm completely stuck at the morgue skip, I don't understand why the jump doesn't work? Is it possible with any character if they have the same stats?
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by 'morgue skip', but if it's the jump with Shadowheart to the lever you should be doing it with Shadowheart there all the time. Other characters can do it with the same stats yes. It's hard to help without other details though, but if you just can't jump, that most likely means you're not doing the scroll wheel jump method, although it seems like other people have been able to do some of these tricks on console as well.
@@buwayt Ah I see, if that's the case, then the biggest thing is the timing of the jump. You need to be jumping both into the path of one of the brains and jumping while it is moving. The reason why this works is because the jump gets bugged out when your jump pathing intersects with another character's pathing. It's hard to time and you do need to spam jump for it to work.
Im trying to figure out a way around this rn its been like an hour. After i cast command drop on shadowheart, i send her to camp (since im also unable to "kidnap" her) while in turn based mode so karniss doesnt pick up his lantern. Im trying to get my tav to pick up the lantern and jump away to flee combat safely but that is where im stuck. Ill reply here if/when i figure it out
1. Have tav and Shadowheart stand next to each other in front of karniss, facing west. Cast feather fall, enhanced leap, and I did dash just in case, then quickly enter turn based mode. I quicksaved here 2. Cast command drop on karniss with shadowheart. If successful send her to camp. She wont move, but will walk away during the next turn. 3. Walk behind karniss, where his moonlantern should have landed. Now cast minor illusion as far east as you can. Next turn karniss and shadowheart walk east. 4. Cast fog cloud as far west as possible while still covering yourself and the moonlantern. Pick it up in the same turn then jump west. Karniss turned hostile but didn't attack me. The goblins that were in the fog cloud didnt attack me. I was able to safely retreat, and left shadowheart at camp because I still cannot kidnap her Sorry its so long but j hope it helps somebody else
Another strategy that don't trigger fight right away. Cast command drop, then quickly enter turn based mode. Use Shadowheart to trow lantern as far as you can (preferably on the bridge or close to it). Then use Tav to trow it again. When it's far enough, pick it up and flee. Do not exit turn base mode when trowing. I left Shadowheart near enemies so she got killed but it's nothing that Withers can fix (if low on money, you can farm it in last light inn, picking up everything and selling).
I came back to my save starting in act having performed the throw shadowheart cancellation thingy and now shadowheart is invisible and stuck. Do you know about this bug and if so, is it fixable or is it a run-ender?
After killing kethric shadowheart did end up getting spotted and balthazar killed her. I cant find withers at camp. Do i just have to restart or is there some way to get around her? i cant go to act 3 or long rest because shes dead
As you seem to understand rather well how bg3 is working, I have a question for you: I'm running in my "normal" honour run into an problem where Dammon doesn't want to be interacted with: I'm at the beginning of act 2 at the Inn and every time I try to launch a conversation he just say things like "not now" or "later" without even entering a proper dialog screen. I tried to long rest, to stun him then long rest, to make him fall asleep, to befriend him and cancel the concentration, nothing seems to work. I already had this problem in the late stage of Act 1 as I think it might be provoked by me stealing from him and now I'm stucked in a 40+ hour campaign with one of the most important seller blocked. Any idea on how to unblock or "reset" him ? (Btw great work again with the vid !)
That's kind of an odd situation, but given what you said I don't think I have enough information to go off of. The first thing I'd try to do is reload the save file, since I do know there are animation cancel bugs which prevents your character from casting spells or performing any actions. If that doesn't work, then I'm not sure what the fix can be. I did some research and there are a lot of similar game breaking bugs involving spells like silence and other options. You can also try verifying your files on Steam if you're using that.
@@ChronosReturns Thanks, unfortunately as i'm in honour mod I only have a single save and closing/reopening the game didn't worked. I'll definitevely try the file verification tho. Eh, I guess I'll finish without him.

PS5 user here. Some notes:
* I could not get the throw/carry glitch to work with Shadowheart. No biggie here. Just send her to camp and go get her after you speak to the moonlantern people the first time.
* You CAN clip through the Gauntlet of Shar. Took me a while, but I was able to get it to work by spamming the jump trigger (up on dpad) and confirm (x) while hovering over the spots he indicated. This worked in the Silent Library and to get into the room with the spear. Just took a while.
* When jumping onto the barrel in the room with spear, I died a few times because the game would float me up to the top of the door. I figured out I could go to camp, cast feather fall, then jump down from that place it floated me up to into the room with the spear.
* For the Ketheric fight. You can't animation cancel like he does during the fight so you will inevitably run out of charges of your witchbolt. Just use your firebolt cantrip. It'll take longer, but it won't trigger anything.
Haven't done the gith fight yet, but will update this when I do.
Thank you !
Witchbolt running out is not because of animation cancelling. It's the same infinite status effect as with feather fall. I did it multiple times without the animation cancelling and had no issues
@@levonoganyan6183good to know. I lost the infinite status effect and didn’t want to go through the trouble of doing it again haha.
I was holding off following the guide due to the glitches being questionably doable on consoles. Did this trick work for the naut skip in the first vid?
@@SlyRamPlays I could not get it to work, but the fact that I was able to do the Oubliette skip leads me to believe it is possible to do the Nautiloid skip and I just couldn't figure it out. With that said, it doesn't take too much longer to do the glitchless route through the Nautiloid. Heck, it may be shorter with all the trial and error of attempting the glitch.
I am so shook that I managed to do all this first try! You did such a good job making sure to mention when something is time sensitive that I was able to follow along without having to prewatch anything. I am super thankful! Off to act 3 we go! haha
This guide is so well done! With all the information you provide I made it to Act 3 on my first try with the Gith skip! Can't wait for Act 3!
iam doing the speedrun on tactitian rn just to have some savestates so i can practice smaller portions of the speedrun to get it through in once in honor mode very good detailed and nice explained speedrun showcase realy helps a lot cant wait for the last act
I was waiting for this video cause act 2 is the hardest part of this speedrun as it requires the glitches, being careful not to be seen and timed actions. You explained everything really well and I was able to do everything just like you said. Thanks a bunch! Good luck with the events!
Got to the point when I can reach act 3 pretty consistently, although way slower haha.
This is all very well explained, looking forward to the final act!
Thank you for the in depth tutorial! Was able to get to Act3 following your video and instructions. The jump glitches were tricky and took me some practice to get throw/pick up npc to work but it was oh so satisfying when it did! Can't wait for your next videos! Good luck at your events!
awesome ! thanks again for the good work ! was struggling with the kidnapping , makes more sense now
These walkthroughs are amazing! Cant wait for the final act, thanks a ton!
Made it to Act 3! Thank you for the help. Looking forward to the next part
For anyone curious, this is completely replicable on ps5 for everything except the gith fight. I did have to use jehira to throw them off.
Besides that the only other difficult spot was when you hop down from the prison to the oubliette, another comment mentioned it as well, Use fire bolt on the membrane. Then instead of angling the camera top down you need to be looking horizontally through the red glass looking area off to the right of where he is. You can still see the brains walking allowing you to replicate what he was doing in the video. Got my Foehammer trophy by just watching the rest of his actual speed run. Good luck!
How are you able to “kidnap” gortash in act 3 in ps5?
@@TheWiserMonkey you have to pretty rapidly press the action to throw him and circle nearly simultaneously. So walk up to him, choose to select an object from the world. Then choose him and it’ll ask where you want to throw him. At that point like I said you pretty much need to instantly press X and O to do it. It’s actually very easy to do once you get it the first time.
@@ethanmcglone2104Thanks, I was able to kidnap him, but no im having trouble getting him to apear on the bridge. What button did you use?
@@TheWiserMonkey go back to throw him and cancel the throw. He will pop up next to you if done correctly.
@@ethanmcglone2104yeah, just got it. Thank you very much!
For ketheric if you don’t have spell slots left or lost the infinite status glitch then you can simply fire bolt cantrip repeatedly when crouched. You’ll have to manually press C then hit fire bolt for each hit. Time consuming but better than restarting the run for achievement
THANK YOU! You just saved my run! I was so worried I was going to have to start over again.
AAAA Made it clean to the library in this guide and forgot to sneak like an idiot. And now Nautiloid skips are doing me dirty. Thanks again for uploading these.
I can confirm that these strats do work on console. I was able to finish Honour mode and was able to replicate most if not all of the skips and glitches. I can also confirm that finishing Honour mode stacks with the Tactition mode trophy on PS5. Awesome work my friend! Appreciate all the time and effort you put into these videos.
How did you get to the shawdowfell pool with Shadowheart ( that part at 12min)? It will not let her jump through the wall to get to the pool for me.
@@Azkadalia So what happened for me was I was able to clip into the wall, but I couldn’t walk out unless I switched to turn based mode. Then it allowed me to path out into the room. The jump cancel was the same as someone mentioned - rapidly press up on the D-pad and hit X until the animation starts and you’ll clip into the wall.
@k.s.8711 it worked! Thank you so much. I had made it this far and was really bummed at the prospect of going no further. Thank you again for those details, they really helped!!
How did you do the obliette part (21:53)? My game doesn’t let me put my cursor beyond the wall
@eddiems that part is so tricky and takes some practice. First, you need to destroy the 2 membranes. After that, instead of a top down view you have to be at a side view and look through the glassy window-like structures next to the watery area. The view is foggy but manageable. Tav should even comment on what's on the other side of that wall. At this point you jump following the vid guide for Tav placement until you get stuck in the ground. At this point you can now do a top down view of the area you want to be in. From her it's perfect timing and button mashing. You have to time your jump to be in the intellect devourers red path (you need to sneak to see it) and repeatedly jump cancel until you get it to snap. It acts like a teleporter rather than a jump if you do it right.
Dude your amazing, thx for the tutorial, you are a god of ambition my friend.Tho on 21:31 I got it first try,On accident XD I had more trouble with the barrel getting the spear.
i got killed when i did pick up the moon lantern.......
I was not aware until your next video how the infinite conditions glitch worked and I kept losing it due to going into turn based mode in order to pause the environment while i watched for your next step. thankfully you explained it in the next video, but one of the main issues i ran into is that witch bolt expired on ketheric, meaning i had to level up my tav in order to cast a second witch bolt. luckily i was able to get through his first stage and his apostle of myrkul phase, except that it expired again with 13 hp remaining, i bit the bullet and just cast ray of frost, which has a similar interaction with the Wet condition that the lightning damage from witch bolt has, also i remained out of his line of sight so combat was not initiated. A VERY inconvenient thing to happen was that I prepared for the Gith Skip but did not execute it correctly. since i did not grab the potion of speed and since i used jaheira's action surge to get into the portal, this meant that I did not have the movement speed to make it to the gith honor guard. I was able to circumvent this by dashing, going into turn based mode, then dashing again before initiating the fight so that jaheira had one turn of the dash condition but still kept her actions. the void bulb did not knock down the gith on the floating stone but i luckily was able to jump to him and toss him. none of the gith attacked me and i was able to take two out on the next turn while the emperor cc'd the third one for me to toss him last on the next turn.
Woooo part two!! Can't wait to learn all these tricks
These videos are very helpful, big thanks!
Ive gotten further into honor mode using this tutorial than I did in 4 legitimate runs. Looking forwards to part 3!
After 12 hours of grinding with this gide, messing up countless times.. I Finally Did It! Thankyou so much!!
Very awesome video. Thanks for your excellent explanation of the run.
I was unfortunate that my Shadowheart was not sneaking after killing Ketheric, so Balthazar immediately killed her. Thankfully, there's enough gold around Moonrise to loot so you can have enough to revive her with Withers and the 100 needed to respec Jaheira. Just made it to Act 3. Thanks for these guides!
Unfortunately it seems like they've done something to the Moolantern in Patch 6 - whenever dropped, they attack me immediately if I pick it up. Also TB mode doesn't mean unlmited turns on jump and feather fall things, or at least it didn't work for me when done so as instructed in this tutorial. I'm afraid they might have patched it
Just FYI, if you run out of spell slots with Myrkul then you can beat him from the same location using thrown attacks. For me it was worth losing a minute to steal the Returning Pike from Grat the Trader in the Goblin Camp because he is right next to the exit for Act 1.
For anyone having trouble getting to the spear in the Gauntlet through the door: try getting the barrel close enough that it's just in the red then rotate it around (default is the mouse wheel on PC) until you are able to place it. I was having trouble and after doing that I was able to jump through.
This series has been extremely helpful. Only criticism of this video so far is that you mention that you may have to level up in order to get an extra spell slot for Command Dropping the Drider, but later on you mention that it is extremely important Shadowheart subclass into a Wizard. For people who are following along *with* the video, it would have been very helpful if you had mentioned quickly that you needed to subclass into Wizard during that time. I just had to restart a play through because of it. Great series otherwise though!
Thank U so much man! U are the boss :D Unfortunately throw/carry glitch not works for me, but it is still doable even without using thi glich. Also Killing Ketheric was tight because of bolt - it started to be "inactive" after some tries. But if U guys also have problem like this use your fireball - I suggest spam "C" button to sneak and have 44 or 46% to strike.
Amazing can’t wait for the next part
be careful at 37:38 because when i chose a feat after selecting the spell replacement, it erased the replacement and i didnt catch it until it was too late
FYI, Shadowheart can finish cutscenes and even leave the Shadowfell, before Tav enters the bossfight, and Kethric still won't attack them.
The video of your speedrun looked a lot of fun, so I already tried to follow it just from that. Excellent stuff.
I guess I forgot to touch on this in the tutorial, but the main reason we don't want to finish Shadowheart's cutscene is because Jaheira will not be able to be recruited if we do finish the cutscenes, making the route for Act 3 not possible. So while you should be able to do the Ketheric fight just fine, not having Jaheira will make the Githyanki fight extremely difficult.
definitely interested in a glitchless run, this is great!
Got to act 3 after a few hours of trying! Thanks for the awesome guide! Cant wait for Act 3!
Tho i could not get the throw kidnap trick to work at all. Hope its not critical in act 3 xD :D
hello. first of all, thank you for the time u take to make these videos!
i can't do the oubliette braincat jump, been here stuck for an hour. is it patched? do u need to be precise at timing or u can spam it?
thank you.
nvm i got it, wasnt doing it right. u need to spam z aswell :)
@@aaram4038 Thank you so much for this comment, man! ❤ I was struggling with this part too and your comment to tap Z saved me and my run.
Just ran into a bug where feather fall passive in the shadowfell didn't apply for shadowheart, as a heads up to others! Only time I've had that issue.
Thought I should clarify here, it was on a run where I lost the infinite effect glitch and didn't know how to reapply it, so I cast feather fall near shadowheart before she entered the shadowfell and because she already had feather fall (with a timer), it didn't apply the shadowfell one that doesn't have a timer.
This is solved quite easily. I also had such a bug. I just took "lightness of a feather" when leveling up Shadowheart instead of one unnecessary spell, and before Balthazar I replaced it with fog
I followed the video as best I could, and Jaheira didn't show up. What should I do?
This is so fun to follow along with!
Was really intrigued to see how the witch bolt shenanigans with Ketheric was possible. Had figured it might be something to do with doing Shadowfell at same time but wasn't completely sure. Not looking at the videos from a speed run perspective, only just completing Honour mode as cheesily as possible, so I was thinking if get Balthazar killed where you can first meet him in the Gauntlet (by getting him involved in the fight with the Dark Justiciars) is it still possible to pull off the glitch with Nightsong/Ketheric? I'm presuming yes because technically your conversation with her is similar to what you have if you have already defeated him and so I'm assuming just need to do the 6 skips and it'll still be fine.
I believe it should still be possible in the same way that way yes. Balthazar doesn't seem to have an effect on this route at all so you should be able to do it.
PS5 user here. Some notes [UPDATED]:
* I could not get the throw/carry glitch to work with Shadowheart. No biggie here. Just send her to camp and go get her after you speak to the moonlantern people the first time.
* You CAN clip through the Gauntlet of Shar. Took me a while, but I was able to get it to work by spamming the jump trigger (up on dpad) and confirm (x) while hovering over the spots he indicated. This worked in the Silent Library and to get into the room with the spear. Just took a while. I used my index fingers on each button to really do it quickly.
* When jumping onto the barrel in the room with spear, I died a few times because the game would float me up to the top of the door. I figured out I could go to camp, cast feather fall, then jump down from that place it floated me up to into the room with the spear.
* If you're like me and wasn't able to keep up the infinite status glitch, still use the witchbolt method against Ketheric, but just switch to firebolt when that runs out. It won't trigger anything.
* Make sure you follow his instructions closely on the cutscene skip or else Jaheira will not show up at camp.
* In the Gith fight, the speed at which he switches from Mage Hand to Tav is impossible to meet given interface differences. I was able to achieve it though with just one, well timed switch as Jaheira was walking through the portal.
Thank you Chronos! Good luck at GDQ!
How do you get shadowheart to fall to the shadow fell? She will not jump no matter where I stand or how fast I spam it
@@nigguin I think the only other piece of guidance I can give other than making sure the jump is lined up as he had it is that if you are mashing your buttons quick enough back and forth, you should trigger the jump within a second. If you’re mashing for minutes on end then the issue is timing as opposed to having to do it for a long time. Oh and make sure it only says Path is Interrupted as he had it. Hope this helps a bit
@@austinhancock8204I can't get it I guess I'll have to try whenever I get a PC lol
How did you manage with the camera angles on the 21:00 mark? The Oubliette skip? Managed to go all the way there on the ps5 but just can’t seem to skip that part, the camera angle just doesn’t show the other room :/
@@verkoka So I ended up having to go with a completely different camera angle. If you pan the camera over to the right, then take it out of the top down view, you can see them through some stretchy bits of flesh. You're not even really using a broken camera angle, because you are looking through the spot the game intends for you to see the other side from. Still stand where Chronos had you though.
41:36 the portal doesnt' stay when shadowheart dies no matter what I do. Am I doing something wrong or was this patched? I followed everything in the video near perfectly.
1 person can't perform "kidnapping" on Shadowheart :D
PC player here.
I am having trouble doing the Shar temple overlap trick, Cause when i teleport away, my Tav still ends up in the shadowfell with sharty. Was this hotfixed out?
I got so far but then shadowheart didn’t have feather fall when I made it to the nightsong prison :((( so she can’t get down
Possible to do on Xbox Series X?
Some of the tricks are possible, I can not confirm all of them though, but it seems like multiple people are having some success on some parts of the run on console described in my tutorial series of videos.
Thank you for answer and help. Will you make speedrun glitchless? It for sure should work. Btw: Merry Christmas
shadowheart left my party when i tried to layer the cutscenes
I dunno if it’s a machine problem on my end, but Kethric keeps aggroing on Tav *while* Shadowheart’s still in the Last Light cutscene. It keeps killing my runs. I noticed in hotfix 15 some performance changes to the nightsong cutscene were mentioned. Anyone else having issues?
Update: Must’ve tried twenty odd times now. 90% sure something changed sequence-wise there, unless others are still able to do it.
I tried just now, and everything worked up until Ketheric witchbolting. A couple of times the witchbolt ceased? So i recast it but ran out of slots. So i added 1 wizard level to get level 2 witchbolts. I continued bolting him, but at 18 health, he aggroed on me, even though Shadowheart was still 'in the cutscene'. Tav dead.
@@saltysatan4299
Currently trying to do the gith skip on xbox, havent successfully gotten it, but will soon. on failed attempts im testing the next steps, does the mage hand need to shove her off? or can i just jump her off the ledge manually. because i cant get the mage hand to shove her off
In the Oubliette i managed to get the top down view through the wall (xbox) and it helped heaps better than trying to side eye it through the glass.
Still on current attempt testing things, but the way i got it was a failed jump into the room, it landed me on the wall sort of and i was able to get a top down view into the room, which made it easy to do on console
Amazing, waiting part 3))))
So it comes down to me getting as much confused as the ai of bg3. Why Kethric didnt attack and 1 tav in underwear defeats everything. After reading comments it seems kinda doable on my ps5 even. Might give it a try,but i like playing not glitching but find this video very impressive and entertaining as well as excellent editing quality. ❤Thumbs up !!
I can't clip through that wall in shars gauntlet. Mine doesn't even attempt to jump. :(
Same
Same
The Ketheric fight Witch Bolt trick no longer works, or at least on PS5 I wasn't successful.
Also it seems like the infinite status glitch no longer works either.
i hope i get a chance to do this before larian does any patching lol
I don't believe any of these will be patched, primarily since they don't affect standard gameplay, they aren't harmful in a standard playthrough, and make use of mechanics within the game that are generally more intended rather than fully unintended, such as animation cancelling to cancel actions and ways to get around failure checks.
29:00 when I try, combat starts
it says stealth failed
is there a special trick to pull it off in addition to going to that spot and being in stealth? I practice it in explorer and it's the same, combat immediately starts
You need to follow the stuff in the tutorial, with killing the Nightsong at the same time as entering Ketheric fight. This makes it so Ketheric's AI doesn't come up to start combat with you. You also shouldn't be having any stealth checks. The area you're jumping into should be out of sight from Ketheric. If you are jumping into his view, you'll initiate combat which you do not want to happen. That's why we jump to the very corner.
@@ChronosReturns Thank you, that whole part escaped my mind!
How much of this is possible on PS5?
I get this question a lot, but I'm not sure since I don't have a console. If you're able to switch between characters during cutscenes, that should mean you can possibly do some of the glitches such as cutscene overlaps. However, I don't think jumping strats will work, but if it does, then the biggest skips should be possible, might need a turbo macro or something on your controller to do it to mash jump and action repeatedly, but I am not sure. For kidnapping or animation cancels, if you can cancel an action on controller, kidnapping and improvised weapon strats can work.
TL;DR: I'm not sure, would need to have a console version to test, but it might be depending on what console can / can't do.
i just got through all of act 2 following pretty much every steps on PS5. The oubliette skip gave me the most trouble because of the camera being slightly different to the PC camera but it was possible once I broke the membrane wall and looked to where chop and the intellect devourers are from the side of the wall instead of using the overhead view
@@Nahlin7 im on the xbox. Are you using a controller or keyboard for it and how did you get Shadowheart to go threw the wall in the shar temple?
@@ANCIENTWARRI0R I'm on controller and for shadowheart to jump through the wall I just spammed UP on the D pad and X a whole bunch on ps5 controls, so the A button for you. I set the camera to the overhead view stood just to the right of the line on the floor and aimed the cursor just next to the lever pretty much exactly like the video showed. It took like 3 tries but it works
@@Nahlin7 thank you for the fast reply. I have it saved right there because I couldn’t get it to work so I’ll give it a try again tomorrow.
I cant level up shadowheart for fog cloud because i leveled up before for command drop
Unfortunately you would need to restart in this case. You shouldn't be leveling for Command: Drop since you should already have it as a spell that you switch out instead by opening your spells menu.
Do you think these runs can be done on console at all? Like I can’t custom keybind the same way and such, I know I could probably due to act 1 skips and such on the non shadowbox route but idk about the stuff in this act, haven’t watched the whole video yet.
nice tutorial, but the glitches ( kidnapping and mausoleum ) don´t work for me
Tried the gith skip and failed, portal just disappeared as soon as I shoved off Shadowheart, dunno if it was fixed in patch 6. Had no chance against gith, since 2 characters are dead, action surge spent and no haste potion :)
And the gith were not near Orpheus, but near Jaheira, so I could not push them to that edge on the right.
@Chronos will be something wrong if Raphael see me?
No, it'll be fine, just slow since he has a lot of dialogue.
hey i cant seem to get the orb puzzle skip down at 12:20, is there a chance its patched or are there any more indepth tips you could give on how to succeed it? thanks alot, respect for bringing your strats to the commoners like me gg
It isn't patched, but as said in the video, you should go closer to the door and a bit further away from the wall you want to clip through. When you mash for the jump, you should jump into the wall, then it's important not to touch anything to let Shadowheart fall down. If you don't clip properly through the floor, you would walk out, meaning that you were to close to the wall or too far away to the door.
@@verkoka According to one of the comments down below it is possible on PS5: I'll copy some of it here:
* You CAN clip through the Gauntlet of Shar. Took me a while, but I was able to get it to work by spamming the jump trigger (up on dpad) and confirm (x) while hovering over the spots he indicated. This worked in the Silent Library and to get into the room with the spear. Just took a while.
In general, you need to spam jump and confirm as fast as possible at the correct spot, and it should eventually work.
@@ChronosReturns okay thanks, got stuck at the place below the prison, can’t seem to move the camera to the other room though
17:12 Couldn’t get through this wall no matter how many times i tried 😢is there another way to get the spear?
I did the act 1 without glitches but i can't do the wall clip here bc i just cant. maybe i'm the only one but it is impossible for me. how do you do it?
Spam jump button and confirm. The goal is u shouldn't see any notice if path interruption
PS5 users: If you are having trouble getting past the door of Shar to retrieve the spear, it is pretty easy to open the cage using the lever, then sneak over to the bookcase and get the book Teaching of Loss: the Nightsong, in order to open the door properly.
What about membrane jump? I can't get that to work
I failed by Shadowfell entrance. Glitch didn't work and Tav followed Shadowheart. After killing Nightsong Baltazar attacked us and killed in 1 turn.
Is there a way to reapply the infinite status effekt? I somehow lost it by entering act2
I would love to see if there is a way to reapply it as well. I lost the infinite status effect because I wasn't successful in staying undetected by the zombies you have to leap through to get to Act 2. Once you enter turn based combat it removes the infinite status. I just started over until I was able to pass them successfullly.
Same way you do it in and 1, but it costs a revivify scroll each time
@@SomnambulistMist oh i thought the bug is much more complicated involving switching acts.
For all that have the same question: to reapply the bug just kill tav, loot, turn on turnbased mode, pick up, end turnbased, throw tav back on the ground and revive.
My shadowheart lost feather falling in the prision here 20:04 what should i do?
Shadowheart shouldn't need feather fall at that part. You should be able to continue on as normal.
@@ChronosReturns i had to lvl up her in mage to get feather falling as if i tried to jump from one rock to another i got the mark that she were die in the first one, the messed up with the fireworks > long rest > a kid appeared > orin was not disguised as a kid > i died
cant do the trow bug ore jump true the wall in the gountlet....wtf
hi i made it to act 2 thanks to you but then i get to the moonlatern but when i take it from the ground the group start a fight so i don't get how i can bypass that is it because of a patch or am i doing it wrong ??
Gith fight: after killing Shadowheart from the Edge by hand portal lights out. Is it patched?
Nope, this happens if you fail to rapidly switch between the characters. It may or may not succeed sometimes as it is weird occasionally, but it is not patched out.
Tried 10x and Yes it works. Thanks for help
I made a mistake ;;; and Shadowheart isn't crouching/stealth when I right click to exit the cutscene with Isobel... So, Belthazar summons everyone walks away and casts a spell that 1-shots her before I can even get a chance to go to the portal :c
I was thinking I could just let her die and resurrect at Withers and pickpocket it back but I'm not sure if that'd be okay to do/if it'd work out?
I ended up doing this ^ I let Shadowheart die, went and found Withers at Moonrise to rez her, then pickpocketed my gold and continued on!
Took me a while to get the timing of the throw, it must be almost instantly, as soon click left to throw you got to hit that right button.
lol same for me, i nearly killed shart before mastering the timing
@@joha88252 bro, she got mad and me and bailed on my ass and I still couldn't get it right.
@My0bi i was able to do it after several tries on the first part but after getting the moonlantern, i couldnt get it to work so i just sent her to camp
I cant get the shar temple wall skip with shadowheart
I was wondering how many of these glitches work in co-op because my friends are sick of honour mode and just want to see the end.
Can kidnap be done on Xbox?
When I click "Continue to Baulder's Gate" with my Tav, and end it up in the prison, it instantly cuts to Balthazar confronting my Tav and Shadowheart together. If we skip past that, my tav and Shadowheart are back in the shadowfell. I think this essentially kills the run. Wondering what went wrong and if I timed it incorrect, or something in the recent patch prevents this.
It still should work on the current patch. You need to make sure that you click continue to Baldur's Gate after skipping all of Shadowheart's cutscene when entering Nightsong's Prison. If you click continue to Baldur's Gate before skipping the cutscene, both of your characters will be teleported to Nightsong's prison.
Seems like picking up the moon lantern causes aggro now? Or am I doing something wrong for that to happen?
On Patch 6, picking up the moonlantern causes aggro, there are methods to get around it which I will try to discuss about in the future, including hiding while stealing it, moving it around until Karniss can no longer take it, etc, but I'll need to test it myself.
So Jaheira joins us because we defeated Ketheric Thorn before the cutscene killing everyone at the Inn finishes? Does Ketheric not aggro from the witchbolt damage because the player is Hiding? Or is just a glitch with that particular spell and location?
Jaheira joins us because we defeated Ketheric Thorm before the cutscene finishes, so that's correct. Ketheric does not aggro because of the weird state that he is in from Shadowheart being at Shar's temple killing the Nightsong, since generally a lot of other things are supposed to be happening at the same time. You don't need to kill with Witchbolt either, just as long as you're far enough away to not start Ketheric's cutscene, meaning that you can technically also do it with a fireball cantrip as well.
so uhhh so when i clicked continue to baldurs gate on my tav shadowheart teleported from the nightsong and was pissed at me and left my party. does this kill my run or can i continue without shadowheart
I need Act 3 ! Love it
is there a way to do 21:51 on ps5? i can figure it out
also looking for an answer on this
@verkoka actually I did so basically to go past the membrane and walk down some into the the pile of rocks and I tried a few different angles and turn on the tact and turn the camera to the side and move the cursor through the see through part and do it like that it will mess up a few time and you'll just jump through in the wall literally and the tact camera will go into the area they are in But you do it like he said and yes you have to time it in front of chop or the brain walker (I did brain walker) and eventually you'll do it I have done it is possible and i made it all the way to act 3 following the rest of the guide YES it well fail a few and you probably get upset like I did I actually sat there for 2 hours doing it sorriy i typed so much i wanted to give as much details as possible good luck hope this helps you ☺️ 😊
(If I messed up somewhere and misspelled something, my phone is on 4%, so I rushing to type this so I dont forget lmao)
@@ascendantgamer21 thanks a lot for the detailed reply, do you mean the rocks close to the water? And trying to jump aiming through the “glass” wall?
I just keep falling into the floor and everytime I try to wall clip he stays there
makes me not lose hope, gonna try it then ahah and merry Christmas 🤣
the act 2 wall jump still works in patch 6.
although i had to use a autoclicker to do it, little to old to Shift + mouse scroll that hard.
Spider dude aggrod but thats ok, i gave one of withers hirelings to them to play with will i took off
Can you still clip through the Gauntlet on Patch 6? Or are other means needed?
I believe that wall clip still works on Patch 6, but I would need to test things. There's quite a few things that are patched out so I'll probably need to redo a lot of tutorials and update the route for glitchless as well.
wall jump still works. did it about an hour ago
Good to know it's just a me sucking at implementing it. I'm trying for a glitchless run atm. Since I'm not at speed on those, I'm rescuing Scratch everytime. Bestest boy!
Did Larian patch out the ability to kidnap? Whether keyboard, or right click, it keeps putting them back down when I cancel the action.
Nope, it still works. It is pretty precise, basically frame perfect to do. If you're too far away from the character or object you want to do it on, the timing is different that from if you're close to it. It is fairly fast, so you need to do the action, then cancel it fairly quickly after. If you cancel it too early, the object will be placed at the exact same spot. If you cancel it too late, the object should switch positions to another spot near you or do the action.
Hey Chronos. Jaheira was not there to recruit once I ventured out of the Shadow-Cursed lands, know why that could be?
I forgot to mention it in the tutorial but I did reply with the answer in one of the comments so I'll repaste it here:
The main reason we don't want to finish Shadowheart's cutscene is because Jaheira will not be able to be recruited if we do finish the cutscenes, making the route for Act 3 not possible. So while you should be able to do the Ketheric fight just fine, not having Jaheira will make the Githyanki fight extremely difficult.
This is referring to the cutscenes talking to the Nightsong around 27:00. Basically only skip the cutscenes until the Nightsong dies, but do not go any further or else the Last Light Inn will be destroyed, causing Jaheira not to join the camp.
Kidnapping does not work, has this been fixed?
Kidnapping still works on current patch, it's pretty precise to get it working since it's close to frame perfect, but it does still work.
I can't get the jump through walls right. Any advice on how to do that properly? I'm on PC and smash jump-key and left click but no jump occurs. I had to go through the Gauntlet of Shar the normal way and are now stuck in the Oubliette.
Have you done the bind for scroll wheel click? If not, I recommend doing that. Also, I believe it works a lot better on 60 FPS, which you can set in the settings for your frame cap.
I've added comma to the "interact" action and it worked. 😀 Thank you. Also, I wanted to add that you are creating awesome content. I'm glad to have found your channel.@@ChronosReturns
I can't seem to get the glitch down with entering the pool, I can't switch companions in the middle of a cutscene. Any advice?
same, I think they fixed the jump glitch
Hey, @Chronos, when I enter the Shadowfell, It all looks like the videos layering works okay, until I select Tav in the Moonrise Towers prison and Shadowheart keeps showing up there and keeps leaving the group. Any advice on what I'm doing wrong? I managed to get it right the first time through on my first try, but now I keep getting it wrong and not sure why
It's hard to say without a video to reference from, but make sure everything is done correctly and in the right order. Most likely, it might also be the case that your characters are grouped, which will cause Shadowheart to come with Tav to the prison and leave since she is grouped with you and leaves the party since she failed her quest of defeating the Nightsong
@@ChronosReturns you are absolutely right. I had them grouped together. Thanks for the help! I love your videos!
does anyone know how to get jaheira for the gith part? He said if I did everything right I should have her in my camp but I must be doing something wrong because she isn't and it has happened twice, idk what I could be doing wrong everything else up to that point goes smoothly but for some reason I can't ever get jaheira in my camp
Are you planning to do a glitch free version of your honor run?
Yes, I'll be working on one next month after AGDQ 2024
Is the kethric fight strat still viable? (Witchbolt and hide)
Yes, it is still viable.
So I am on The Xbox S and when I throw the bombs at thorn They blow up at my feet why?
And Second 18 bombs are not enough Damage to kill him in honor mode?
Console is still in Patch 6 so any advice from patch 6 is still needed?
Hello, I'm completely stuck at the morgue skip, I don't understand why the jump doesn't work? Is it possible with any character if they have the same stats?
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by 'morgue skip', but if it's the jump with Shadowheart to the lever you should be doing it with Shadowheart there all the time. Other characters can do it with the same stats yes. It's hard to help without other details though, but if you just can't jump, that most likely means you're not doing the scroll wheel jump method, although it seems like other people have been able to do some of these tricks on console as well.
@@ChronosReturns I think he means Oubliette skip, it says morgue when you jump to the other side
@@buwayt Ah I see, if that's the case, then the biggest thing is the timing of the jump. You need to be jumping both into the path of one of the brains and jumping while it is moving. The reason why this works is because the jump gets bugged out when your jump pathing intersects with another character's pathing. It's hard to time and you do need to spam jump for it to work.
Picking up the lantern made Karnis hostile and started combat :'( was it patched in patch 6 ?
Im trying to figure out a way around this rn its been like an hour. After i cast command drop on shadowheart, i send her to camp (since im also unable to "kidnap" her) while in turn based mode so karniss doesnt pick up his lantern. Im trying to get my tav to pick up the lantern and jump away to flee combat safely but that is where im stuck. Ill reply here if/when i figure it out
1. Have tav and Shadowheart stand next to each other in front of karniss, facing west. Cast feather fall, enhanced leap, and I did dash just in case, then quickly enter turn based mode. I quicksaved here
2. Cast command drop on karniss with shadowheart. If successful send her to camp. She wont move, but will walk away during the next turn.
3. Walk behind karniss, where his moonlantern should have landed. Now cast minor illusion as far east as you can. Next turn karniss and shadowheart walk east.
4. Cast fog cloud as far west as possible while still covering yourself and the moonlantern. Pick it up in the same turn then jump west. Karniss turned hostile but didn't attack me. The goblins that were in the fog cloud didnt attack me. I was able to safely retreat, and left shadowheart at camp because I still cannot kidnap her
Sorry its so long but j hope it helps somebody else
Another strategy that don't trigger fight right away. Cast command drop, then quickly enter turn based mode. Use Shadowheart to trow lantern as far as you can (preferably on the bridge or close to it). Then use Tav to trow it again. When it's far enough, pick it up and flee. Do not exit turn base mode when trowing. I left Shadowheart near enemies so she got killed but it's nothing that Withers can fix (if low on money, you can farm it in last light inn, picking up everything and selling).
I came back to my save starting in act having performed the throw shadowheart cancellation thingy and now shadowheart is invisible and stuck. Do you know about this bug and if so, is it fixable or is it a run-ender?
When this happeneed to me, you can just cancel it like normal and Shadowhearts come back to normal. It is just a visual glitch I think.
After killing kethric shadowheart did end up getting spotted and balthazar killed her. I cant find withers at camp. Do i just have to restart or is there some way to get around her? i cant go to act 3 or long rest because shes dead
At that point if Shadowheart is dead I don't think there's a way to save it, so unfortunately you'll probably need to restart.
Currently cant do membrane glitch on ps5. Cursor wont pan out for the jump
Just got it, had to look through the screen of that glass door by membrane, it was painful
Do you have an idea when part 3 will be up?
I'll be working on it starting Friday, so probably around Saturday / Sunday.
@@ChronosReturnsthanks i was asking myself aswell :) your guide is really good and easy to follow much love
Do you know why in the shadowfell entrance cutscene, it said you must gather your party before venturing forth?
Just figure it out, just had to group them and separate them again. Great guide!
As you seem to understand rather well how bg3 is working, I have a question for you: I'm running in my "normal" honour run into an problem where Dammon doesn't want to be interacted with: I'm at the beginning of act 2 at the Inn and every time I try to launch a conversation he just say things like "not now" or "later" without even entering a proper dialog screen.
I tried to long rest, to stun him then long rest, to make him fall asleep, to befriend him and cancel the concentration, nothing seems to work.
I already had this problem in the late stage of Act 1 as I think it might be provoked by me stealing from him and now I'm stucked in a 40+ hour campaign with one of the most important seller blocked.
Any idea on how to unblock or "reset" him ?
(Btw great work again with the vid !)
That's kind of an odd situation, but given what you said I don't think I have enough information to go off of. The first thing I'd try to do is reload the save file, since I do know there are animation cancel bugs which prevents your character from casting spells or performing any actions. If that doesn't work, then I'm not sure what the fix can be. I did some research and there are a lot of similar game breaking bugs involving spells like silence and other options. You can also try verifying your files on Steam if you're using that.
@@ChronosReturns Thanks, unfortunately as i'm in honour mod I only have a single save and closing/reopening the game didn't worked. I'll definitevely try the file verification tho.
Eh, I guess I'll finish without him.
