How Platinum on Baldur's Gate Was Unforgettable

- I tried to Platinum Baldur's Gate 3 before it won game of the year and you won't believe how close I was to failing...
Baldur's Gate 3 and Larian Studios were very deserving of the game of the year award from my experience on the game. Do you think it should have won or should Spider-Man 2 or Alan Wake 2 have won?

Damn. That platinum looks like something I have no idea I can ever achieve let alone the 100%
It was amazing! Play with a friend you’ll have a blast. First time don’t bother with trophies just play making mistakes and figuring out all you missed is incredible. I didn’t even want to play the game, now it’s one of my top five of all time.
You can do it!
That’s awesome to hear @keithbeyer9484
@@keithbeyer9484same I thought I’d hate this game, but I finally gave into peer pressure from the Bros and bought it, now it’s all I play 😂
The Platinum thankfully isnt 100% of the whole game
At 8:45 when you tried to loot the spider you clicked on a pile of bones next to it, that’s why the loot was only 2 gold. Not that you missed anything gamebreaking, just thought I would point it out :) Grats on the platinum
Yeah can't believe I didn't notice that LOL thanks for watching!
The 2 gold is probably better than the robe you get from the spider
@@pinheadgringo not really no, you could have fed that robe to gale
I didn't realize that going on a date with Karlach was difficult. I played my first run as a heroic type, romancing her, and I got to that point organically. Granted, this was like a month after the game's release, so something might have changed since then. That's a huge selling point for the game for me though, that multiple people can have different ideas of what in the game is or isn't difficult, just based on how that person has been playing the game. Love it!
I thought it was tough mainly because it’s easily missable if you miss any of her events… and I played a good portion of act 1 before even finishing her! I agree. The relatability is fantastic
I didn’t realize the “leave no-one behind” achievement was difficult either. I just got it in my playthrough without trying (even tho Mirkon was dead?”.
@@galaxymoon8071 so Mirkon doesn’t count?
When the game came out the romancing was messed up and it was super easy to date anyone you wanted to. It has since been fixed
@@3PointGaming As far as I know there are some Tieflings that can be missed. I know for example you can have the "special scene" as Dark Urge with Alfira and still get the trophy
25:00 The thing about Minthara's raid on the grove is that there isn't any need to rush, you can take plenty of time/long rests. It can't happen until someone tells Minthara the grove's location.
It just so happened that in your first playthrough you helped Sazza escape from the grove for the trophy, and so Sazza lead Minthara straight there.
love the video man but there actually is a way to keep shadowheart in your camp AND save nightsong! Shadowheart is garunteed to permanently leave if you dont bring her into the fight with balthazar and the choice of whether or not to save nightsong. In my personal playthrough I made a few persuasion checks to convince Shadowheart not to do it and she later denounces her faith to Shar in the game! There are so many possibilities and options I love this game so much.
I had no clue! You and others have been saying that and I have no idea. My 1st run I just happened to not have her with me. It was unintentional… well kinda was intentional that I moved her out
he probably wasn’t taking enough time to talk w her and improve her favorablity rating due to the challenge and time restrictions he put on himself
@@3PointGaming lol i get that! i actually had the opposite experience, in my second run i didn’t have her in my party and i got that same cutscene you did! ur video has inspired me to try to platinum this game myself! :D
@@holidaycomplex yeah I def wasn’t talking to shadowheart much. I like Karlach and Lae’zel more
@@sammie907 good luck!
98 hours for this plat is crazy 😭 I didn’t get it til 350 but then again I did 3 playthroughs and was just doing everything each time it’s so much fun. I still want to play it again lol.
I just got my platinum a few weeks ago. Didn’t regret the over 600 hours I invested into it. I love every minute I play baldurs gate 3. I commend you for going on the trophy grind right off the bat.
It's amazing how many ways the narrative of the game can change depending on the decisions you make. I never had Shadowheart leave my party, but i managed both story paths on my 2 playthroughs where she's a cleric of Selune and a cleric of Shar. The way the story plays out in both scenarios is really well done
From Gerringothe Thorme, the Mace Twist of Fortune will deal 1d6 damage for every 300 gold in a targets inventory, but will consume the gold in the process. I used a cheese to steal gold from merchants, used my Tav to cast invisibility on Astarion to have him pickpocket and plant massive stacks of gold into their inventories. I then casted Invisibility on Shart and had her use that weapon to deal massive damage and one-shotting Orin and Gortash.
I finished the platinium last week, amazing experience totally worth it.
Big congratulations to you, great video !
Thank you!
So so so many things I love about BG3 but one of the main reasons. You can talk to so many different people and we all have different number 1 companions in the party. Such good writing
Wow, what a ride! Congratulations on getting the Platinum and achieving your goal!
I'm currently playing through Divinity 2 with my partner as it was on sale on the PS store. Really fun, and keen to check out BG3 next.
Welcome to the Top of the mountain!..I got my 100% on Feb 6th and it's easily one of the Greatest Achievements in my gaming life and I've been playing video games since 1981!
dating Karlach isnt hard. just do things that she approves of, romace her and thats all you have to do. i literally got it on my first playthru
Balthazar can be killed before you go to the Nightsong. Makes him much easier. Also keep Shadowheart with you through the entire gauntlet of Shar and be good and she’ll choose to save the Nightsong and stay 😊
Yeah I killed him the first time I met him 😂😂
I left my hard platinums back to my years when i had time to play properly but watching your videos I'm always scratching myself to go for them again 😂
Haha I’m glad my videos do that then and thanks for watching man. You could just play slowly over time 🙌🏽
Congrats! That tiefling trophy looked brutal. Loved the NKG theme from Hollow Knight during the red dragon fight btw.
Thanks! Also glad someone noticed the NKG theme haha I use HK themes throughout my videos fairly often. Love that soundtrack
@@3PointGaming it's an amazing soundtrack!
Absolute hero for platinuming this bro! Behemoth of a game and you smashed it!!
Thanks bro I appreciate you!
Great to see you at nearly 100K!
actually nuts you pulled this off congrats keep it up man!
Congrats on the plat Sha! This game may not be for me, but I'm glad you enjoyed it! W video as always!
Thanks for watching Shard! Means a lot that you and so many others still have the vid a chance. Big W
Insane, congrats on the platinum bro!
Thanks!
LOL this is actually insane. Congrats on the platinum!
Haha thanks man!
Wow, this was so fun to watch! I like how you just breezed past that Mind Blown trophy 😂
just an FYI if you let Shadowheart choose for herself, she won’t kill Nightsong. No persuasion checks needed! Lol I have nearly 600 hours in this game and I’m still finding new things ❤
Yeaaah I watched it and I was NOT showing that 😂 if you know, you know. I wish I knew that about shadowheart. It wasn’t on purpose… she just was not in my party. I had Gale, Karlach, and Lae’zel with me
@@3PointGaming Thats the Beauty of the game, I missed most of Lae'zel's stuff bc I had her benched but saw all of Shadowhearts stuff. Despite playing with very similar mindsets (being a good person) we had vastly different playthoughs.
Trusting shadowheart to not kill her isn’t guaranteed, I’ve had it go both ways. I think it’s based on approval or if you’ve gone with good choices up until then, which makes it even more satisfying when she doesn’t
Congrats on an achievement! Really cool to see
Thanks a ton!
I love watching platinum trophy videos! Especially your super meat boy! You are the person who actually introduced me to an incredible game! Ill be here for more trophies!
I think bro likes exclamation marks
Thanks man!
@@grounded-jump0 maybe, maybe not.
@@MingouGMDYou wrote that wrong. It should be: “Maybe! Maybe not!”
Naw, I wrote it good
Just the type of platinum video I needed! Something different from other creators, nice video!!!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Great video Mate. You are one of my favorite content creator on RUclips. Happy holidays to you and your family
Thanks a lot! I appreciate that. Happy holidays to you and your family as well.
For the Balthazar fight, sneak around and move (don’t throw except for the 2 skeletons off the main boss arena before you reach it as it will agro the boss) all of the skeletons to the very point where you first jump in. I put 6 explosive barrels down in front of them and then used astarion to pick pocket the speed potion out of Balthazar’s pocket starting the fight. All the skeletons spawned right there by the barrels. One flame bolt and they were gone. Then just focus fired on boss man. Or just polymorph him before he agros and shove him like you did.
i think i robbed his weapon so it stopped him summoning anything, dont know if it works still tho
Just in time for Honour perma-death mode free DLC! lol
Excellent race man, and 98 hours is crazy low play time! (I think I clocked 194 hours at time of plat)
This is the very first platinum video ever for the game. Good job man damn.
That’s pretty cool. Thanks man
huge congrats man! insane video really fun to watch tho
Glad you enjoyed it!
this is my favorite video you put out,congrats and great work seriously fun ass vid!
Wow thanks a ton!
@@3PointGaming by the way do you recommend this game for a person who never played turn based rpgs before,im a huge fan of rpgs and exploration. i wanted to kmow if you ever played turn based beforehand?
@@alghoraibii4516 yeah I played plenty of turn based before. I recommend this game for sure
@@3PointGamingim 40 hours in and cant stop playing thanks a lot!
the fact you got to the forge without getting your first parasite is insane😂. crazy how different runs can be cause i had like 5
I have close to 400+ hours and STILL havent gotten all the achievements! Congrats on getting platinum on this awesome game
Great video man. Can’t wait to pick this up (once they permanently fix the Xbox save issues)
I wasnt on the band waggon at first for BG3 but I finally caved and got it. 10/10, there's a reason it dominated game of the year
This is the first time I've seen the actual battle Minertha plans actually play out
Great video as always Sha!
You're the best!
Just a little thing from your Orin duel, paralysis makes all melee hits Critical, so the best way to benefit from Hold Monster are high damage melee builds like Paladin
I always watch you on my tv and I always thought you had like 500k subs or more but then I checked your subs is only 88k you deserve so much more man keep up the great work dude
You're a legend! That's cool to know people watch my content on TVs.
Dude, I’m on the same goal right now! Only need 3 more. If I do everything right this last playthrough then I’ll get them and get platinum!
Good luck!
@@3PointGaming thank you! Half way there! About to beat kethric!
Okay, that was genuinely awesome
Merry Christmas great content loving it 🤣
Same to you! Thank you
well done i will be trying this next month
Good luck and have fun!
I got the "leave no one behind" trophy on my first (blind) playthrough, but I did not save or even meet Mirkon
sick video cant wait to see whats next
Thanks man. More to come!
Glad it worked for you 60% of the achievements are bugged for me on steam. Like reading 100 books or even FINISH ACT 2 (i beat the game btw and it’s still locked) really depressing
Looks hard af good job
One of the best platinum in my opinion. I did it today. Fun thing in this game is a lt of hard trophies.
What a milestone!! GZ
Thank you!
I’m hoping that you go for the platinum for inscription in 2024! Honestly love to hear your thoughts on it
The amount of loot you lose for just tossing enemies into the anbyss absolutely kills my inner loot goblin, I haven’t yeeted a single enemy (aside from off cliffs to places I can still access to loot) during my tactician playthrough (currently halfway through act 2).
Yeah this is true. My first run I lowered the difficulty and I enjoyed it a lot more. Then of course my "speedrun" run was a struggle... although I really did enjoy all the strats I used. I love how versatile the game lets you be
@@3PointGaming Right?!
So glad you enjoyed the game!
No-armour-one-character-level-one-honour mode run when??
This platinum is actually easier than i expected, though you shoul like beat the game alone on honour mode or somthing like that
Nice job I plan to make this my 200th platnum
It has become my favorite game i have some trophy's as of right now I must admit it's going to be hard on me to romance Karlach I love her but I'm a huge simp for astarion 😅 thankfully I can reload my save when I get her trophy through
With the Astarion pfp too! Haha thanks for watching and hope you enjoy your time on the game
I have yet to play or watch gameplay of this, as ive never really been a big turn based combat enjoyer, but this game seems really cool and i may give it a chance if i can pick up the game on a decent sale
Can't wait for you to get the golden dice on honor mode
I still haven't done some of the achievements because i can't be bothered finding which i haven't got lol. I know I need saza and to pet the cub and bear together, but then still have like 4 or 5 to do
In my first playtrough I killed Karlach without hesitation cus i was following the quest but later at work i realized she had items that playable charachters do (and ive seen tiktoks) so i reloaded the save and threw couple of hours of gameplay for Mamma K.
She’s probably my favorite companion after playing through the game twice
I started going for this but tried to optimize and ended up burning out. Going to take another pass at it with a casual playthrough first
Hope you enjoy the casual playthrough! You can definitely go for most trophies in one run but like you said, optimizing it is what takes a lot of
Amazing video as always! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Seriously I appreciate it
Just finished my first playthrough , around 180 hours lol. I got all but 5-6 trophies though, so not bad for my first attempt when I wasn’t even “hunting”
For defending the camp, we just went and collected loads of barrels of oil and smokepowder and preplaced them xD
Super easy way to knock down the dragon and kill gortash without traps. Use mind blast on the dragon it knocks him down. In the room outside gortash boss fight room destroy the traps with lightning I did it on my tactician and it didn't agro him I used sneak attack on him and it started combat he entered that room and we killed him without traps activating as we destroyed those ones.
Lovely vid man, keep grinding, IM READY FOR SPLASHERRR 💦
Man props to ya. I think your biggest achievement is playing the game with a controller. I can't do it lol. I backed the game in EA and have been playing it since 2020 so am used to mouse and keyboard but recently tried to play it on my Steam Deck and it definitely takes some getting used to.
Every challenge run I’ve watched so far is all on PC and it looks way better to control with a mouse for sure haha
You don't have to kill nightsong to keep Shadowhart but you do have to let her come to the conclusion herself basically.
Ngl, what's keeping me from playing this is me wanting the disc version, but damn, more and more I feel like just buying this game twice so I can own the physical media later lol
I’m actually thinking about buying the deluxe version myself lol
Never played any of the Baldur games, so I look forward to watching through this. Are you planning to make an Alan Wake playthrough?
I may play both Alan wake games in the future
Awesome to hear!@@3PointGaming
Absolutely fantastic game I havnt put it down since release ❤
It's so good
Congrats, this is a tough platinum, took me 2 and a half months and 300 hours.
8:47 you looted a pile of bones 😂
You know that makes a lot more sense now
fyi you can convince shadow heart to stay which actually opens a new quest and mechanic .
What’s crazy is even after getting the platinum the game isn’t done. It’s got so so so many different endings. Like 17,000 according to Larian. Would take like 1800 hours to see every single ending. Love the damn game
Yeah there's so much I didn't experience. I actually watch a ton of BG3 videos and playthroughs on youtube that I've now seen a bunch that I haven't experienced myself
5:00 barrelmacy is one of the most popular magi in the bg3 community
I actually got the ”leave no-one behind” achievement accidentally. Mirkon had already died in my playthrough so I didn’t think I could get it, but I did somehow.
Ahh so he doesn’t count. Was it a Dark Urge playthrough too?
@@3PointGaming Maybe it was just my playthrough being weird or something, idk. It wasn't a Dark Urge playthrough, I just hadn't gotten to him fast enough.
I hope i get this game for christmas. Tempted to play honor mode for my first play through and stream the experience 😂😂
Honor mode out the gate?!
@@3PointGaming Hear me out, Honor mode out the gate, and keep playing it over and over until completion.
I'd probably go insane from it ngl, but a sick, depraved part of me thinks it would be really fun too 🤣🤣
I didn’t know you could protect the grove from a second attack
What build did you use for tactician to beat Myrkul?? It’s my last trophy for the plat and fighting him has lowkey broke me
I am impressed he did this especially so back assword
lmao there's thousands of different ways to play this game
Gotta do honor mode for the foehammer trophy now
I definitely need to try it
Shadowheart ends up not killing her anyways lol
Damn.... didn't think this was possible!! Wow
It’s possible and I recommend to everyone who likes RPGs!
(Coughs awkwardly knowing there's an achievement for beating Honour Mode.) 😅
Damn, on Xbox you have to finish Honour mode for the hardest achievement and it's a huge pain in the ass.
Tbh if you save the grove or choose neutral path, Shadowheart will choose to not kill Night song herself : P. What a loss
I didn’t know that! Especially on my first playthrough… it wasn’t on purpose. I just didn’t have shadow heart in my party and I didn’t look up what to do ahead of time… that’s good to know now
Might try this next! Currently working on arkham city and almost done with it!
That’s awesome! Good luck on the rest of City as well as BG3
After 98h I was barely in act 2...on my first playthrough, so getting all achievments in that time...not bad
Haha thanks
Huh, every time I played the game, even from the first play through I just went into the goblin camp and killed everything every time, I didn’t know they actually attack the camp or anything like that
Dude! You did it!
Let's go!
@@3PointGaming i remembered when i suggested you do this run on another video. Good on you, dude!
now time for honor mode! :3
I’m scared to try it but i will. I might watch some guides first lol
Idk if you know this but it is possible to keep shadow heart in your party & save the night song with persuasion checks
Yeah I didn’t know. It wasn’t on purpose because I just didn’t have her with me when doing the Balthazar fight. I had gale, Karlach, and Lae’zel. I didn’t look that up ahead of time
Their is a reason this is game of the year see you at the livestream and merry early Christmas 🎅 🏆
Happy holidays!
Good thing an honor mode run wasn't required lol
I also got the Save all Tieflings trophy even though the kid got killed by the Harpys.
Oh I didn’t get the trophy when Mirkon died. That’s weird that you got it
@@3PointGaming Yeah it probably was a bug but I won't complain.
And now honour mode is a achievement goodluck xd
How you didnt dig up 5 chests before act 3 is mindblowing....you must have had blinders up the entire time lol....I probably had 5 before even finding the grove
On my tactician Durge run, I found way more. I have no clue how I didn’t notice it on the first run especially considering I did way more of the side quests lol
Lol you just had your eyes on the prize! Either way thanks for the video...its been a great guide to follow and I'm still using it currently for the past 2 weeks @@3PointGaming
ngl the trophy looks easy when you know what parts or important parts you missed. but thats whats great about this game you can play it multiple times
The replayability is what makes this game!
Is it possible to save Sazza and all of the tieflings in act 1?
If you literally allow Shadowheart to just listen to Alyin I am pretty sure Shadowheart frees her. Crazy that you had to deny her.
Yeah I unknowingly messed up bad by not having her in the party. It wasn’t on purpose
@@3PointGaming No, its all good. I only thought that she would fight you, so your option wasn't something I knew, so I do now. Still, gone anything else so grats.
