Always See Speak with Dead Targets
First up is how to always know which Corpses you can use Speak with Dead on by making them always glow green. Most players miss a lot of the corpses that can be spoken with since the green glow on corpses only appears after you’ve cast the spell once that day. But with this trick, you can keep the green glow for your whole playthrough.The trick is to always have the spell Recast Speak with Dead, and to do this all you need to do is to keep an eligible corpse at your camp that you can cast speak with dead on first thing after a long rest. Now you might be wondering - can’t you only cast Speak with Dead on a corpse once? Yes, unless you are the corpses killer, and they refuse to speak with you. Then you’ll gain Recast Speak with Dead, but the corpse can still have Speak with Dead cast on it over and over, since technically, they did not answer 5 questions. One of the earliest targets you can pick up and add to your camp is Nettie. Keep her in your Traveler’s Chest and after each long rest just attempt a Speak with Dead to always have Recast Speak with Dead and that glow for your whole playthrough.
On Receiving Her Grace
Next up is a secret book that can provide you with an awesome advantage. If you read the book “On Receiving Her Grace”, found on a table near Abdirak within the Shattered Sanctum, it will unlock a hidden dialogue option with Abdirak allowing you to choose which weapon Abdirak will use on you. Options include a mace, knife, or axe - and this is important because it will change the damage type inflicted to Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing respectively. So you can use this to your advantage by selecting the axe option and casting Blade Ward before standing near the wall, or equipping the Amulet of the Unworthy, which is dropped by the minotaur in the Underdark, to gain Slashing resistance. Also, remember that Blade Ward can only be self-cast so, you might want to go with the amulet if you don’t have the cantrip. This will minimize the damage you take as you obtain Loviatar’s Love. You can also remove your armor for a bonus to your Intimidation or Performance roles to ensure you continue progressing. And besides gaining the permanent buff, you’ll also get quite a bit of approval from Astarian and some from Shadowheart as well and Inspiration for anyone with an Acolyte background.
Demonspirit Madness Immunity
Next up is a hidden interaction with Demonspirit Madness. In Act 1, within the Zhentarim Basement, there is a pair of rare gloves called the Abyss Beckoners. These gloves grant you a large aura which causes your summoned minions to gain resistance to all types of damage other than psychic. However, as a cost, at the start of each summoned minion’s turn they must succeed a Wisdom Saving Throw or be driven MAD, which causes them to attack the nearest creature. However, there are two minions that are completely immune to Demonspirit Madness, and will not be driven mad even if they fail the saving throw. Those two minions are the Danse Macabre Ghouls, and the Animate Dead: Flying Ghoul. This is quite the hidden interaction considering there’s nothing that explains why they are immune.

Everyone hates Auntie Ethel or Cazador, not me. I hate the bluejay, he’s such a scummy little bird. I was shocked in my first play through when he murdered the eagles
Durge Bluejay
I murdered the eagles. But yeah the blue Jay is a jerk too
Yea, I remember taking them out non-lethally because its a mother and their child and very clearly their nest, only to be absolutely shocked when this dude flies in and starts pecking them to death.
@@ChillPengu75 wait that can happen?
@@Quantum_Bluntz it’s in the video lol
I felt bad killing the eagles, it sounded not right. Now it's clear why. I'll get my revenge on my next run.
Well if we don't kill them, how do we get the ceremonial stuff?
@@Ether165 invisibly
@@scraplee945 Hmm, didn't think of that. Thank you for the tip!
Just use other similar weapons. It doesn't have to be ceremonial.
Or use Astarion to unlock the door. Lol
By the way, for Speak with Dead, it doesn't have to be a completely valid corpse. It just has to be one that isn't mangled and can speak. Basically, you can cast it on a generic goblin and because you get the start of the conversation that says the corpse has nothing to say, it counts
Now everyone has a small dead pet goblin in their camp xD
How did you name yours?
@@burningtheevidence8038 I feel the most appropriate name would be "Pidge"
yes but you cant recast speak with dead on those corpses over and over unfortunately, like you can with people who have dialogue & were killed by you
@@daritoast I was unaware of that. I only had dead bodies in my camp for 2 reasons so I never tested that. (Reasons are necromancy and to see if Dror Ragzlin's illithid is, in fact, from the beach and what would happen if you put it in camp. Answer was that one gets stolen from your camp. Discovered I went from 3 to 2 before dealing with Ragzlin)
@@psychlycanthat's a weird but interesting discovery. Sounds like something you should point out to a certain youtuber.
just incase anyone is struggling with weight of food you can send it to camp and it is still useable when resting
The Dryad and her Wood Woad summon are also immune to the gloves madness.
As is the mummy from Create Undead
Ok, I can confirm Halsin can be affected by speak with dead. In my playthrough, I made the mistake of going to the Crèche before rescuing him. I came back and found him dead at the hands of two goblin children.
The only way to advance the quest from there was to speak with his dead self and learn of moonrise.
Halsin and Minthara can be spoken to while dead only if you haven't recruited them. When they are recruited and become companions you can no longer speak with dead on them.
@@Cyb3rM1ndif he’s a companion can’t you just resurrect him though?
@@joeracer302 He's only a companion when you recruit him, if he dies before then he cannot be resurrected.
Unequipping camp clothing items resets the freecast illithid power. You can also use freecast to get back spells slots with the arcane recovery. Every single fight, every single attack can be a lvl 6 spell without needing to long rest anymore. Add in mind sanctuary and spell casters can have two lvl 6 spells for 3 rounds. Absolutely broken exploit that I love in act 3.
That Blue Jay was sus as hell, so I killed the eagles, then I killed him. Now there's a free nest for other birds to stay, really proud of myself.
Good work
maybe the blue jay was a hidden disguise person that worshipped cyric
I love BG so much because I can see a "Things you may have missed" and believe it wholeheartedly means it. And it isn't some "check this day one meme out" garbage
Astarion will also refuse to smell the ruptured pod if you found out he was a vampire through him telling you as opposed to him trying to bite you!
Makes sense, how's he gonna know what you taste like if he didn't bite you 🤣
What if he tells you and then also bites you in the next long rest? Cause that happened to me lol
For sorcery point. There is a amulet increase spell slot 2, it’s better choice then shield of devotion since you get 2 points instead 1. The amulet is in one of the vault, you need Rouge characters to unlock it incase you don’t have the key.
And, not for infinite sorc points, you can also use arcane cultivation potions. Just down the 1 lvl spell slot one, convert it to sorc points, down the 2lvl spell slot one and convert it, gobble up 1lvl spell slot one again and rinse and repeat. That's what I do if I'm relatively low on higher lvl spell slots and don't want to do long resting.
There are all six portraits of original characters from DOS2 in 1 act. Just look them up, it‘s funny thing to do
Only cowards use Blade Ward to cheat Loviatar
Ha! Didn't think or dare of doing so, hey?!
I, for one, I relish fooling evil gods! (and perhaps "good" gods too)
What kind of heartless monster would want to kill Nettie? She heals birds! I bet you're the kind of guy who eats all the cream filling from the Oreo and then just leaves the shells lying around like big game trophies.
Nettie fucking sucks lmfao. I kill her every playthrough.
She tells us to kill ourselves since she can't heal us, and then turns violent if we refuse. She's a terrible healer. At least Halsin offers to assist us.
I wish instead he mentioned Minartha or Wyll's bodies instead. Since it's very likely you killed one of them permanently by your own hands.
@@ManavineWhy would I be likely to have killed Wyll? Is there something I'm missing?
That Bluejay one is awesome. I always wondered how the hell I was supposed to do that interaction with him. Never would have guessed it was all the way at the creche
Danse Macabre has got to be one of the best Spells in the Game. Also sounds cool tbh lol
Not really. Those zombies are weak and provide only distraction, which can be very helpful, but they are slow (small move area), you don't control them, and they can stuck or just pursue the enemy and never reach it, because you will kill enemies quicker than they move. Possibly, they can be stronger with Necromancer playthrough, but I haven't tested it myself, so I don't know how big of a difference it makes.
So all in all, it's cool to have them, sporadically use them, but on average it's better to kill enemies quicker and not use action to summon zombies. Only in prolonged fights, it has some sense to use them.
@@michadybczak4862 True. They were pretty useful in the submarine as a distraction actually.
@@michadybczak4862 I think it's actually an improvement that you can't control them anymore, by the time I get to act 3 I don't even want to control the whole party anymore, let alone summons.
Counterspell is the best spell in the game.
@@riffgroove 🫡 ok I loooove Counterspell so satisfying
Haha I found the bluejay out by accident! I was playing as an evil druid, so I took on the request meta gaming that the request was probably a lie. Because I was a druid who felt it would be disruptive of the order to off the eagles I turned non-letal on. I was so shocked when i saw the blue jay swoop in and finish them off. I laughed but the was like, "did i just become complacent. i think i threw off the balance."
The Shield of the Undevout cannot be used endlessly for Sorcery Points. I've tried that before--it does not work.
I wonder if they can make a dungeons and dragons game in the style of Skyrim with the open world, but as the D&D world
I rather likfe Skyrim... D&D might be a good power fantasy... but I dont quite like how restrictive it is at the same time...
@@lloydfromfarD&D is very much less restrictive than skyrim
@@francisthesadcat1406 Well talk for yourself... only in Skyrim could I easily play as a fighter-rogue-wizard of great talent!
@@lloydfromfar good satire
I just "discovered" a useful trick to have the camera to get at the character height instead of just above your head: Put a crate on the floor, and climb on it. Select another character then move the camera to the character on the crate: and voila: close up camera for nice screenshots.
You can cast speak with dead on Halsin. I don't know why you'd say you can't.
And Minthara too. I remember casting Speak with Dead on her at Moonrise Tower torture chamber.
You can cast it before you recruit them. Once recruited, you cannot.
He's referring to the companion versions of those characters, not if you kill them before they become companions.
"Not a Glitch, Its a hidden interaction!"
Bruh..
I have never heard anyone pronounce alcohol the way you do
That's how it's pronounced??? It's a weird sounding word.
@derekgunnels4856 he's saying "ocohol" when he says it the A sounds like an o and he completely misses the first L
He mispronounces some really weird words and now I'm wondering if he's an AI lol
You don't need to read the book to get Her Grace. Just speak to Abdirak. You do want to read it if you prefer a damage type against you, but its not necessary. He doesn't do much damage, but if you want to be safe, just throw a few potions on your hotbar and use them between dialogues when getting spanked.
Edit - Also I'd recommend stealing the dagger next to him (before he leaves.) Its great, giving you 1d4 saving throws in exchange for a little damage
Also, in nature, blue jays don't make their own nests. They steal the nests of other birds.
Pro Tip: To get a body back to camp you need to open any container in your inventory and drag it to an open well within. You cannot drag it to the big icon at the top of the container window. Then send the container back to camp.
Watching this before I see it all on shorts
Its just absurd how deep this game is. Imagine if this was first or third person and real time.
The first fact about the corpse was just super funny 😂😂
The abyss beckoners can be used on a druid and the woodland spirit summon as well as her fallen lover summon cannot fail the save.
I also found Fane in the Temple where Withers is located. So far I've only found those two.
Blue jays are specifically known for stealing the nests of other birds
Am sure others would have mentioned but you don't need a glowing corpse to get recast of Speak with the dead, any corpse will do, you will not able to talk with some but it will give e you the recast. While still on the topic of speak with dead if you can't speak to the corpse cause you are the killer just have another companion cast it or use disguise self and then cast it again.
Speaking if disguise self it was more handy than I originally thought cause you can use to to get race specific dialogues in some situations, example in the Githyanki cresh you can get the gith dialogues just by using disguise self instead of creating a whole new Githyanki character. Another would be a Drow, the goblins would be more respectful to a drow race and disguise self can achieve that with some drow dialogue too.
How does picking the weapon for Lovitar’s love change the buff? What’s the difference if you choose the axe? Anything?
The Lohse portrait is not the only DOS II reference you can find. You can find other portraits of the characters from that game like Fane, The Red Prince, Beast, and so on.
I don't exactly know where all of them are, but it is a cool bonus.
Here’s a handy tip! MURDER a character which will result in you being locked into a negative quest outcome and keep their corpse in your camp! You are unhinged bro, do this with ANY other character 😂 if you attack Nettie the grove is getting raided.
Certain dialogue choices cause her to turn hostile and try to kill you. You either kill her there or get killed. Killing her won't cause anyone else to turn on you unless you leave with her alive and hostile.
In my current playthrough, lying to her once was enough for her to get annoyed with me, poison me, and o had to steal the antidote. She then get into a fight with us, we killed her and the grove still loves us
I killed her and I'm playing a "good" run (I've done a few senseless murders just for funsies.) But she attacked me, so it must've been a dialog thing. Rest of the grove had no issues with me doing that apparently.
First time I put on those gloves and I saw the red lines I thought for a minute something wrong with game
How do you put slain enemies in your chest? I feel stupid for asking but every time I try to put them in there it won’t let me
Have someone strong enough (Laz’zel or Karlach) pick them up and add to inventory, then transfer them from the inventory to the chest
You can absolutely cast speak with dead on Minthara.
I also wish you could deploy two groups of 5 instead of only 4 players so everyone could be played
well, at least on PC there's a mod called "Party limit be gone" that sets your maximum party size to (IIRC) 16.
0:56 correction, you can speak to the teifling that got shot with the arrow. Or even before that, if some of the guys die in that fight.
More over, you don't even need to start with the grove, some of us like exploring before playing for real.
I ended up killing the eagles because they were protecting a holy weapon in the area that I needed for the blessing ritual.
Couple that with the blue jay that wanted the nest and said there was a reward in it for me. I kinda seized the opportunity.
I still feel bad because it was a family of them. But I suppose that is what multiple playthroughs are for.
I had my bard play music, distracting them and then had another companion get the item from the nest. :D
@@theyellowninjadude next playthrough I will try a distraction of some kind.
Just keep in mind that the blessing ritual doesn't need the exact right weapons. The various other rusted weapons in that area, if of the same type, can be used instead. Don't recall if the one the Eagles have is one of those that option available, though.
If you get the Githyanki egg and Don't give it to the Brilliance vendor who gives you the quest (also standing Lae'zel far away when you take the quest), then give it to Lae'zel and she keeps it throughout all the game, you get extra dialogue in the epilogue regarding the baby
Better to smash the egg. Then the society bros dont get killed and you purged another Gith from existence.
You can refuse the quest and still retrieve the egg and give it to Lae'zel. I did it during a Dark Urge playthrough where I ended up romancing her. You just have to it as part of clearing out the Creche after turning Lae'zel against the gith. You end up with high approval, get to tell the lady off and get the extra dialogue at the end.
@@strattaravarI will never not kill the evil society of brilliance lady. Not only do I get one of the best clothing pieces in the game, but the one time I didn’t, it broke my quest line with laezel for the egg, and it was as if we didn’t have it
How do you get rid of Wyll's body?
Flaming Sphere is also immune to demonspirit madness I believe.
Well, duh. Demonspirit Madness only affects summoned creatures. Flaming Sphere isn't a creature.
For the abdirak thingy, you can also keep 1 party member out of the convo and when you take damage switch to them and heal your character with the hellriders gauntlets to get the buffs as well! And keep healing your character to not go bellowing the fail threshold
what do you mean one of the first bodies you can have was nettie
Sucks that some of the permanent buffs fall off if you go down.
Imagine not interacting with Abdirak...
Recast speak with dead being a separate spell from speak with dead in your hot bar is mega dumb tbh.
It's actually very beneficial. There's an amulet that lets you cast it. Once cast and you have the "recast" - you can unequip the necklace and still have the recast option, letting you use the necklace slot for something else.
@@Cyb3rM1nd The downside is idiots like me though you could only use it once a day even if the corpse didn't talk. Lol.
HA the bluejay! Okay that makes me feel less bad for the bastard
I assume Alcohol cannot be frozen much like the reason why i believe blood cannot be frozen; Larian learned better from DOS2. In DOS2 we woupd freeze or electrify any form of liquid more often than water and blood is more easily available as well since all you need to do is stab someone.
You really don't elaborate a lot. Also, that thing with alcohol? Where's the fun fact? Alcohol can be set on fire? What a revelation.
Shield of devotion has been patched (the trick no longer works), it's only a matter of time for the undevout shield
Use the amulet you found in the vault key #1 or #2 in act 3. You can get 2 sorcery points instead one.
It does still work, as of Patch 6, Hotfix 25. You just need to be out of spell slots first.
I'm no ornithologist, but I know enough about birds to say that realistically blue jays are complete assholes. They have incredibly vengeful tendencies and will grab their buds and dive bomb you to the point of suicide. Truly the biggest evil in Baldur's Gate.
wow, nettie is helpful for once
Speak with the Dead CAN be cast on Minthara.
Not if you recruit her first. You can only speak with dead on minthara and halsin before recruiting them.
fact: alcohol doesn’t freeze.
oh yeah the potrtrait will definetly change how i play rhe game…
In my first playthrough I helped the blujay, he's small and I thought eagles were abusers because they big. In the second, I spoke to Mama Eagle and Xavier. Now I cannot imagine why someone could kill such wonderful creatures!
Arcohol
2:37 wizard's Flaming Sphere is immune too
Demonspirit Madness only affects summoned creatures. Flaming Sphere isn't a creature.
5:56 It's not just Lohse. I think they're all in the game, I think. Red Prince in that burning inn and Fane in the ruins where you get Withers, for example.
(tav voice) BY THE GODS NOT NETTIE
ALL KA HALL
You can cast speak with dead on Minthara, you just can't have recruited her.
It’s free Nettie
Aka hawl?
Great video, but why can't you pronounce alcohol?
Omg you killed Nettie! You bastards!
Why the hell do you have nettie dead😅
They patched the shield of the devout bug for infinite slots
No, they didn't - or at least not successfully. Still works as of Patch 6, Hotfix 25.
@@Cyb3rM1nd well its patched on mine, after I use it I get a note on the shield description saying the spell slot is depleted even if I unequip and re-equip
You killed Neetie?
I always kill Nettie personally. Playthrough doesn't feel right without it since she usually wants to kill me.
4:15 bruh
I know you did not call minsc “minx” 💀
There's also a portrait of Fane in dining area of the ruins you find Jerga- I mean Withers in
Wait why is Nettie dead she didn’t die in my play through
She offers you poison and has you swear to take it if you feel you might be changing. If you accept you get a vial of wyvern poison. If you refuse she turns hostile and tries to kill you - so, obviously, you kill her instead.
You really shouldn’t kill Nettie unless you’re going to raid the grove. That is an awful tip lmao
@@daveyjoneslocker4703 Some dialogue choices lead to her trying to kill you, so you may be left without a choice.
@@daveyjoneslocker4703 I saved the grove and Nettie's death didn't change anything
Awkuhall ... 🤔
Stop 😂😂💀
It's AstariOn FFS...
thought its uh stair E un?
Actually Speak with Dead works on Minthara. But I suppose it's thanks to specific actions. On Durge honour run I planned to have her in the party and just after dealing with the Grove me and my friend decided to come back to Underdark (to a merchant I think?) and by doing so we triggered Mintharas lonely departure to act two which just left her dead at the feet of the Myconid colony, skipping the goblin party altogether and ruining my chance for a playthrough with her (I seem to sabotage this every time)
lol, Ive never bothered to use speak with dead.. no real need. its neat but mostly pointless
OMG YOU KILLED NETTIE!
You didnt? Shes Not very helpful.
This game need new game plus where you can just free roam more
The ruptured pod appears only if you play as Durge.
I knew the blue jay was a liar just based on nest size when I got up there. My ranger took one look at it and talked with them and went "nah thats cap" and walked back to the blue jay. Shame you couldn't call him out for it after speaking with the eagles.
I wouldn't keep corpses in your camp. They cause some of the followers to freak out completely.
4:15 It's not Budweiser
