Undead queen Galfrey was made a Thundecaller, because Owlcat's thought her to be a a wailing banshee, and in their opinion Thundercaller is the closest class for that.
It kinda sucks that your limited to just those characters for undead i wish they had new ones like hulrun, irabeth, anevia, as well as turning your party members like camelia or wenduag into actual undead party members it would be honestly cool to see what types they would plus it would give us more options and let us be even more evil than what we are especially when it comes to irabeth and anevia just imagine the poor horror on irabeths face if you show up to iz with an undead anevia in your party
Kestolgyr actually makes a really powerful Primal Bloodrager thanks to his starting setup. He becomes an incredibly strong pounce charge machine that can do something like 12 attacks on a full attack. Give him Mythic Charge, Triple Fin Helm, and Boots of Stampede and he is going to one shot almost anything on a charge.
I noticed that Queen Galfrey doesn't even have "Longbow Weapon Proficency" as of lately. She comes with "Weapon Focus Heavy Crossbow" however, so I gave that a try and it was very underwhelming. I went with 5 Level in Mutation Warrior similar to your Delamere Build which gives her more feats and "Weapong Training" as well as a "Mutagen". You can also use "Bracers of Archery" and "Gloves of Dueling" this way to improve her AB. I was able to select al the important ranger feats and add "Dazzling Display" + "Shatter Defenses" via the Mythic "Extra Feat". This way she's finally able to hit something. You only lose lvl 6 Bard spells and have a slightly weaker Bard Song.
This is a notion for a future video, how spell DC works and how to stack. The normal way with stats and gear and the broken ways to stack it with multiple spell specializations
Also, in my experience, lunge actually reduces your opportunity attacks, as threat range is not coded properly. Enemies will have a much larger area that they can move around inside before triggering an opportunity attack, and since most of your fighting is in cramped spaces they will trigger those opportunity attacks much less.
Is is just me, or did the skeleton fighter 1 no pre-req for feat change? I cannot choose any feat I want, only the basic fighter ones (so no shatter defenses)
Yeap, and I also can't take shortbow mastery on as a second choice, instead i can choose tentacles or hooves mastery for my ranged skele. I presume last patch broke something. Well, at leasy its easy to fix this with a toybox mod.
@@cRPGBro Yes please, I love your builds in general but I play with full respec mod and would love ideas on what to do with companions with that in mind. That said, if you ever do modded builds for companions, I would want you to try to keep them somewhat lore/RP friendly since if anything goes we could obviously just follow your main character guides. The ideal would be companion guides to min/max them from level 1 while still remaining true to who they are as characters.
@@cRPGBro i would love that, the classes added tend to be more balanced since they are copied from the tablatop, and some, like the dragons pet ones, lose a lot for the dragons, but there are a lot of fun nonetheless, the dreadknight is a machine of attacks of opportunity, and they buffed the ranged builds by adding some mythic feats like manyshot mytich
Extremely based as usual CRPGbro. Even in death poor Staunton is still an embarrassment. Now Owlcat 👀 if you're watching... let us Lichify ALL of our party companions. muhuhuhahaha
@@Moosenthusiast That would be so dope. Role playing as someone who intentionally gathers strong people near them just to turn on them and turn them into undead servants.
@@cRPGBro I was testing stuff whit the new changes to Aspect spells counting as Polymorph and that does now allow anybody under their affect to use the Bracers of animal fury for a +3 Attack/Damage right at the start of chapter 3. Pretty strong stuff.
Anyone know what mod he was refernecing to respec? I tried respec mod but with the undead companions it behaves very wonky- takes away some bonus feats, etc, and messes up their attributes.
I have this weird bug, and maybe it's because of toybox, but my zombi party members start at level 0; I can level them up but I can't take the traits they are supposed to already have. It could be cool since I can make them from scratch like a mercenary, but some of those traits are necessary for good builds...
I needed this for my sorcerer lich! Quick question: if I want to take domains without a pet (obviously domains with pets are quite op) what would you recommend. I was thinking war, destruction, community or madness. If only having to chose 2 of these which are most viable?
Could you try a trickster slayer sub class the one with execute or something ? the one that requires int if im not worng if you use greater inv or the stealth trick you can go use ability execute without getting into a figth and kill all the mobs from a dungeon in 10 minutes thats how I enjoyed the midnight isles dlc
So I tried to run the Galfrey build, but the game says Improved Critial (Longbow) is locked behind a prerequisite at 18, and that she can't equip longbows at all. Is there something I've missed here?
Lesser Brachers of Archery should allow her to equip them, apologies if I didn't state it. Or you can just delay it to level 20 with Fighter I suppose.
I've only completed the Undead path once and I tried making Kestoglyr a skald. It was only core difficulty so he performed well enough but would there be a way to do it on unfair?
Well, by the time you get Kestoglyr, even on Unfair your party and characters would already have access to the best gear, spells and abilities, so you could certainly make him a Skald!
For this one I chose a Brown Fur, and there is indeed a build for him in my main Lich Guide here: ruclips.net/video/Po3KuvIY_y0/видео.html But I'd rather my Lich King: ruclips.net/video/UU8sD4vHQxQ/видео.html Just ignore Elemental Barrage as it doesn't work with melee anymore, but other than that it's golden! You can also add the Lunge feat if you want as that is new.
For Kesto, you probably will need someone capable of casting Polymorph spells on him such as a Brown Fur, otherwise he will have to make do with scrolls from UMD. But if you have them, then yes.
Because he is undead, unless they changed it, most spells which proc the master shapeshifter mythic do not actually work on undead. IIRC none do but there might be one or two. I had to fudge the bonuses on to them using toybox myself.
heres my setup for unfair taking all undead for the ride ,your MC can be whatever Staunton - 10lvls warpriest, 8 lvls of inq to reach the domains+pet ,2lvls vivisec for wisom cognatogen Ciar - 10lvls cavalier,9 lvls eldritch scion (abyssal blood) to get OP dimension strike,1 lvl hellknight for smiting bosses Delamere - 19lvls slayer,1 lvl hellknight Kesto - at least 13 lvl eldrich scion, to get dimesion strike and brilliant energy enhcmnt, 1 lvl hellknight,5lvls warrior,1 lvl witch for fortune + cackle from mythic path queen - 16lvls bard, 1lvl loremaster to get scorching ray ,hellfire ray from the ring, 1 lvl crossblooded to max fire damage, fill your book with bolstered rays , 1 lvl hellknight,1 lvl gendarme since you cannot enlarge undead go for the use magic item by all the melee char to cast frightful aspect on themselves from the scrolls
So if I'm not running mods (except Bubble Buffs, because man that one helps a lot...), and with the undead companions being pretty much all melee and ranged focused, if I want to have a Skald in my party, I'd probably want to run a Skald Lich, then. I'm not really seeing a way to turn one of the companions into any sort of halfway decent skald, and if I want an all-undead party (and what self-respecting Lich would want icky living companions joining him??? Ewwww!!!!) with a skald in it, my main character is the only real option. Hmmm... well, food for thought...
Undead companions are good and all but since Lich wasn't my first playthrough, it was funny bumrushing a boss on each map and Repurposing then only to have the boss of the area roflstomp his allies. Or if its a monster map like Green gates f.e. rolling up to the hag with 6 party members, 1 skeleton companion, 3 skeletons, 2 animal companions a succubus, a Dragon and Kalavakus is never not entertaining
I honestly like the guides, but everytime there is a premade choice that is sub-par (or you just reference a possible choice to be made that you deem inferior) the condescending tone you use (paired with the "disdain giggle"), makes me cringe to no end...
Undead queen Galfrey was made a Thundecaller, because Owlcat's thought her to be a a wailing banshee, and in their opinion Thundercaller is the closest class for that.
That's certainly fitting then!
I think the fact that dread knight or antipaladin are not clases is a big fact in her being a ghost and not a undead with either class
Oh she was wailing after I was done with her.
@@cRPGBro hello
which mod allows you to reset the level of mercenaries to 1 lv.
To change the undead mercenaries and their class.
It kinda sucks that your limited to just those characters for undead i wish they had new ones like hulrun, irabeth, anevia, as well as turning your party members like camelia or wenduag into actual undead party members it would be honestly cool to see what types they would plus it would give us more options and let us be even more evil than what we are especially when it comes to irabeth and anevia just imagine the poor horror on irabeths face if you show up to iz with an undead anevia in your party
Indeed, it would be very fun if you could get Undead versions of the main party members as well!

Completely forgot about undead companions so big thanks on it. Still waiting on Swarm-that-walks build though
Swarm will soon come to devour all!
Thanks dude I asked for this guide on your last video and here it is
Hope you like it! 😁
Thank you so much for asking about this, Mohammad. Do you enjoy a homosex as well?
Dude, you are killing it!.
Thanks, mate!
Or... would he be un-killing it?

Yeah it's happening to me on ps4 too. I'm guessing something happened since it seems to be a recent issue
There is a group of 3 mods that adds a lot of classes and in them there is dread knight and antipaladin so a good choice for gallery if you respec
I have tried the Dread Knight...it is pretty me. It is one of those classes that seems great on paper but turns out to be pretty soso otherwise.
I've been waiting to try some fun mods that adds classes and such after I finish the remaining Mythics, then perhaps time for some modded builds too!

But sadly, Bite attacks no longer stack as of the most current patch.

Would be great for rp.

Are u going to make a video on the beta patch?
I'm personally waiting for the official release as the changes will then be final, otherwise stuff might change.
@@cRPGBro make sense
Kestoglyr has a really sad and romantic story arc. One of my favorites.
@cRPG Bro How are you getting +8 from Bull's Strength?
As fot the skeletal archer companion... It no longer lets you choose a feat without prerequisites (at least not on mythic 4). :(
Yep, it's kinda sad we cannot do that anymore, although Fighter spec is still by far the best choice for the first upgrade.
Thanks!
No problem!
Bro, can you pls give me some advices with swarm build?

Just ignore Elemental Barrage as it doesn't work with melee anymore, but other than that it's golden!

You're wrong. Did you watch the video? It's pronounced Ciar.
Apparently zombies like to eat tacos.
And Demonslayer Soup!
Just add some brains to the Tacos anyways.
Doesn't everyone?
To get a Ciar quest you need complete another task - max your kingdom combat, logistics, etc in that chapter, otherwise, Ciar quest will not pop up.
Interesting, I thought you only had to antagonize him after you deal with Morveg or whatever his apprentice is called in the Wintersun Cave.
@@cRPGBro yeah, it took me some time to find "why I'm not getting Ciar quest?" last time (and totally missed it on my 1st Lich playthrough).
Galfrey cannot take improved critical longbow now.

queen - 16lvls bard, 1lvl loremaster to get scorching ray ,hellfire ray from the ring, 1 lvl crossblooded to max fire damage, fill your book with bolstered rays , 1 lvl hellknight,1 lvl gendarme
since you cannot enlarge undead go for the use magic item by all the melee char to cast frightful aspect on themselves from the scrolls
