Hotfix 22 went live just now. Almost no changes, but this one line is pretty hilarious with context: Fixed a bug causing you to get stuck in combat with the enemies on top of Moonrise Towers if you found a way to sneak into the Mindflayer Colony.
12:30 To your defense, the backpack glitch is actually even easier to do now, so if anything, you were just using a totally legit strategy before they 'fixed' the mistake prevent all players from having free stuff from the merchants. ;)
That little tip using the globe of invulnerability to prevent platforms from being destroyed just saved my honor mode run, so thank you! Amazing video as always! I genuinely can’t even imagine the strategizing involved in a run like this. Well done!
@@ProxyGateTactician I usually use the globe for opening the portal so I never even considered using it during the fight with the brain. I also would have never thought the globe would prevent the platforms from disintegrating but I suppose it does make sense.
@@stephnicole3078 same for me. I lost my honour mode run I few times(may have cheated and reloaded) because those platforms are so annoying! I never thought globe of invulnerability would work because I thought it would destroy the platform outside aswell lol. But I suppose yeah it does add invulnerability and the whole platform is one so I shouldve realised
"the action economy is kinda rough these days" I gotta remember that one also gg, I'm very surprised you didn't went for the Gale bomb route to finish act III
I almost did when my panther thing failed lol, but I really wanted to show off that method of how to invis up the brain still. So I powered through. Had a ton of fun with this playthrough though. For sure was the most fun of any run I did.
@@TRPLD any enemy* *that has 100HP or less, meaning you either have to wear down a strong enemy by a lot or waste it on a weak enemy, pwk sucks and I'll die on this hill lmao
This entire video is incredible but for some reason the part that made me laugh the hardest was trapping the Emperor behind several sofas so that he won't follow you up to the next area. It's like those pictures where people surround their dog with soda cans and the dog can't figure out how to step over them
Holy fuck that is insane lmao. Its really impressive that every video of yours has such a fresh concept, really sets it apart from the rest of BG3 content. Goated channel
Thanks a lot! This one was easily the most enjoyable challenge run I've done, but it was also the most time intensive. Not sure if I'll go down the route of tracking every single action ever again lol
Your encyclopedic knowledge of this game is completely unreal to me. And your editing! You must have had hundreds of hours of gameplay footage from this one run alone, and you cut it down to a 20 minute video. Crazy.
It just shows, how much possibilities the game gives you to find alternative solutions. In other games, you often have one solution: "Attack and repeat until enemy dies" -- OK, most RPGs have at least one variation: Melee attack or ranged attack.
That is insane. No idea how you even began to plan this! This channel has the most interesting and fun BG3 content on yt. I'm curious to see what you come up with next
I've got an idea i'm pretty excited to go for next. Another one I haven't seen anyone do for Baldur's Gate 3! Hoping it goes the way It is in my head. Thanks for the feedback also!
Every time you post one of these I think to myself "I hope there's more like this to come, but surely he has to be running out of ideas by now" to which your following video responds with a big "NOPE! Have another one!" and happiness is restored! Your content never ceases to amaze and never fails to entertain!
This is insane, well done sir. You have the most interesting and cool concepts for challenge runs and the videos are always impressive with not only how you complete the challenges but also the video making itself. Your effort does not go unnoticed
3:32 little trick: if I remember correctly (and it hasn't been changed), Glut doesn't trigger the mushrooms either, so you don't need to use things like mage hand. Maybe that'll be useful in the future ^^
Thanks! I always wished I did DOS2 videos (I might do them later tbh). I actually used to do runs like this in that game, and just posted the results to reddit after. But started RUclips for BG3. DoS2 has a much better soundtrack for videos imo, the BG3 music often goes too hard. Both are great though
This is by far the best challenge made because every other challenge basically revolves around breaking the game with a build that does 2000 damage. You are truly the top of you craft
Thanks that means a lot! This one certainly took the longest. Tons of planning, tracking my actions, and editing for each action used took ages. At least people seem to have liked this one a lot.
This one was insanely fun, but the time to track everything was too much for sure. Easily the most enjoyable challenge though I wish there was a mod that could have tracked it for me
Such an amazing run! I keep getting derailed when I try to play the game in a specific way I can't even imagine the amount of spreadsheeting you'd need to pull this off. Good thing I don't need to, thanks for providing it!
@@prismaone3164I got that one and it left me softlocked, had to bust out cheat engine to get myself out of it. Thank gods it wasn't my first attempt at Honour Mode, it would have felt like the dirtiest of wins.
Honestly your content is so fascinating! I have learned more about BG3 watching your challenge runs then in my own research and playthroughs. You also add a level of humor to the game that is absolutely delightful! I can't wait to see what you choose to try next!
I broke the quest where you save the man from the explody mushroom cave by shooting the mushrooms before seeing him. He was vaporized by the blast but the quest didn't register him as dead.
I actually tried this challenge,and I’m telling you Bard (since talking isn’t technically an action) Ranger( for all the different arrow in the game) Monk ( for all its unique classes) duergar rogue with different invisibilities Carried But the ones that carried and surprised me were Druid since all the animals are different and a Druid spore/necromancer wizard/necro cretic and necromancer of thay to team up with ranger and summon a bunch of summons who can do a lot of damage if they take up your whole screen and lag your PS😭 But what would win the battle is the fact I was a dark urge so I used power word kill on the brain after using my fist ever throw with my dwarf and its dwarfen thrower 3 unique arrows and all of the mindflayer abilities given to Orpheus
Your writing is really good too! (In the spirit of the run I'm trying not to use any praise I've used on your previous videos, lol. Woah! I just checked your previous video titles and you didn't put "insane" in any of them! Are you even a real youtuber?!)
lol thanks a bunch appreciate the kind words all the time Korakys! Not a real one yet, but maybe one day if I can break away from my crippling world of warcraft addiction I'll become one.
The Zaith’isk’s stat hit is not permanent, it can be solved very easily. Simply have Lae’zel use a tadpole (any tadpole power will do) and it goes away
I've considered it, and may do that in the future, but if I do it would only be for something I genuinely like. The mobile game companies don't care if I like their product. They want me to read an ad to make them more $ and pretend I care about their awful game which gets money off of awful gaming practices so I really don't respect them. I'll hopefully be able to keep up quality content instead and not have to go down that route ever.
12:30 Vendor backpack glitch is still possible to get infinite money, you just have to sell back all their stuff after 'borrowing' it by shift clicking it and moving it all into a backpack in your inventory. All of their items for only the price of one.
Ohh really? Good to know. I had just noticed the method I did got fixed literally a day after I spent 3 hours doing it for that gold lol. Was glad I didn't slack on it
This is giving me Mitten Squad vibes 🥺 Im so happy Ive found your channel, I absolutely LOVED the vibes of Mitten Squad videos, and was yearning for the same thing in Baldur's Gate. Im really grateful
I loved his videos too. Watched his content for years and always missed the videos when he stopped uploading. Was sad to hear that we'll never see another Mitten Squad video.
I know it's been several months, but you can cheese the undead in the mountain pass with Sanctuary. They all have single target attacks so can do nothing but sit there and watch as you run towards act 2
I never comment on videos, but for some reason I’m just addicted to your content and I need more! I understand you probably can’t do this full time yet but I’m looking forward to the day you can!
I have been doing it full time actually haha I just spent 140 hours to do this one video T_T I really need to find a different way to edit these.... When I started the channel I was unemployed and in another country so I decided to go all in for this. (Other than December... I played WoW Everyday and did nothing Else)
I tried editing a few videos once and it was like for every 1 min of footage it was 3-8 min of editing. But I’m glad to hear you have the opportunity to do this full time if that’s what you want!
Balthazar would have been a struggle, but I think ur right now that I thought a bit about it. We would have been probably lvl 6 without having cleared moonrise pretty rough fight at that level
I don't know if this will be read by anyone, but in moonrise towers in the kitchen with the knols you can pass a few speech check with their handler. This causes the knols to turn on the handlers. Passing the check after that, you can actually have them as allies during the assault. Basically, you could have saved a few actions there and had back up later on.
Good point. I'd totally forgot about that interaction. If I remember right you don't get any XP for it is why I don't normally do it, but for this run it would have been wayyy smarter to do
The enemies being able to attach you through your sanctuary spell in the section right before the brain stem drove me absolutely crazy on my honor mode run. Thought I was smart using Sanctuary and then greater invisibility to just walk passed everyone, nope. Attacked over and over, unable to even move because of that stupid phantasm spell. It absolutely has to be a bug
If it was just the brain mobs I could maybe understand, but phantasmal killer made no sense. Why can they cast that and root us? It triggered me too so much
I suppose I usually have her hooked up with the Everburn Sword already by then. I also missed the part where you got her before the Creche, honestly the better way to go (didn't know this happens tbh)
@@dataraxia3520 Yea if you don't free her you can meet her at the Gith patrol (but if u long rest she dies there). You can find her in the mountain pass, and if you went straight to act 2 from gymforge then you will find her corpse in the shadow cursed lands.
In baseline reality, all your videos were immediately discarded as terrible ideas. But we live in the wacky, messed up alternative timeline where you did it anyway, and for once I'm glad we do.
The gold exploit still works. You just need to move stuff from a vendor pouch to a pouch in your characters inventory. It will take some~ gold, but you overall net gain. It just goes all into your inventory so you need to exit out and put it all back into a pouch.
It makes sense that the Emperor would auto revive the party leader if they died, because what if you didn’t have a cleric with Revivify or any scrolls of resurrection. It would literally soft lock the game.
theres still a very easy trader glitch, open a container and shift click drag everything into your inventory making sure to have a cheap item be the last thing selected and boom infinite money (the trader gets all the money for the items and you get all the items so you just sell back and forth)
Bonkers! Amazing skill and admirable patience you have. I really shouldn't have watched it, but I was so enthralled I watched anyway, I already spoiled most of the game for myself ((
My head canon is that opening a sphincter counted as an action and the video is 19 minutes of him explaining his strategy followed by 1 minute of him playing until he encountered the second sphincter.
For the first combat with the intellect devourers (after the crash), there's a route to the right of the archway leading into the intellect devourer arena where you can go over the crashed nautiloid and into the wilderness area near where you find Gale. This would let you avoid those first six actions, though it would also miss the exp from them.
I’d like to think all of these challenge videos stemmed from 100 day challenge videos which stemmed from LukeTheNotable. This type of content is amazing
Regarding the undead in the Mountain Pass: Maybe the speedrun strat would work? One cast of fog cloud and then run past them. Though it's probably harder to pull off than it sounds. Edit: I think you could've also skipped the Gith-fight in the night before act 3. I don't know if this was patched out but in speedruns, they just dump a corpse in the astral prism and then leave and it's done. Since Gale was already dead, you might've just yeeted his corpse into the void and call it a day.
The corpse one got fixed about a month ago. So I would have had to downpatch for that. Sanctuary probably could have gotten past the undead as well, but I wanted to save it for later.
Have you ever tried playing bg3 without buying anything? As in, no trading or bartering, only using what you find in the environment, receive as rewards, or loot from dead bodies after battles?
not sure if it'll make a difference but at 1:06 the mind flairs should not move inside the wreck if you hide before approaching them and remain outside of their vision cones. This lets you walk right behind them for 1 action cost (being careful not to step on the fire). Then you can just free gale and fast travel shadowheart to you (you'll have to leave her behind as she can't take the hide action to get past the mind flairs).
@@ProxyGateTactician oh for sure, I had the benefit of hindsight when making that post. one other thing i might have tried would be to use shadowheart as bait and just run past them and flee from combat with no action cost. Then you can have withers revive her later, much like you did with astarion.

Good to know. I was so glad I'd already done it enough to get the gold I needed. They patched it out like the next day after I used it.
Sometimes it feels like the game was made just so you can create these amazing videos
7:42 good to know I’m not crazy! I had this happen to Astarion and he got stuck alive underneath the ground.
i love these challenge runs they're always so creative and fun... i especially liked how you disposed of myrkul KDFJSGHSDJFG
Your videos are always quality, keep up the great work!
"How do three heroes in their 30s not have a single action between them?"
"They're--
The action economy is in shambles"
lol that's a good one
It makes sense that the Emperor would auto revive the party leader if they died, because what if you didn’t have a cleric with Revivify or any scrolls of resurrection. It would literally soft lock the game.
theres still a very easy trader glitch, open a container and shift click drag everything into your inventory making sure to have a cheap item be the last thing selected and boom infinite money (the trader gets all the money for the items and you get all the items so you just sell back and forth)
Good to know. Thanks for sharing! May come in handy one day
Bonkers! Amazing skill and admirable patience you have. I really shouldn't have watched it, but I was so enthralled I watched anyway, I already spoiled most of the game for myself ((
My head canon is that opening a sphincter counted as an action and the video is 19 minutes of him explaining his strategy followed by 1 minute of him playing until he encountered the second sphincter.
For the first combat with the intellect devourers (after the crash), there's a route to the right of the archway leading into the intellect devourer arena where you can go over the crashed nautiloid and into the wilderness area near where you find Gale. This would let you avoid those first six actions, though it would also miss the exp from them.
Oh wait, that would require jumping. Sorry, silly me.
I love your bg3 challenge runs. They are so creative and fun.
9:05 Should've known your Stalkers would blink :D
I’d like to think all of these challenge videos stemmed from 100 day challenge videos which stemmed from LukeTheNotable. This type of content is amazing
You sir are a genius, no one else could have done this
Thanks so much!
That was a lot of work, man! Loved it
Glad you enjoyed it!
This man really said "I don't like to repeat myself" 😂
Regarding the undead in the Mountain Pass: Maybe the speedrun strat would work? One cast of fog cloud and then run past them. Though it's probably harder to pull off than it sounds.
Edit: I think you could've also skipped the Gith-fight in the night before act 3. I don't know if this was patched out but in speedruns, they just dump a corpse in the astral prism and then leave and it's done. Since Gale was already dead, you might've just yeeted his corpse into the void and call it a day.
The corpse one got fixed about a month ago. So I would have had to downpatch for that. Sanctuary probably could have gotten past the undead as well, but I wanted to save it for later.
@@ProxyGateTactician Oh, I didn't know that, thanks for the clarification. Also, great video as always!
0:04 swarm of daggers
I think that’s thorn barrage or thorn hail or hail of thorns I’m not sure about the exact verbiage
Swarm of Daggers... My beloved
Damn fine work. This had to have taken some serious planning
You should have gone dark urge, it gives you the slayer form, and an instant death below 100 health ability, which could have been useful
Insane video! Congrats on the run
Thanks!
I am pretty sure equip should count as an action, since you spend an action on it. Of course, you only see it in a battle, but still.
Amazing challenge as always man!
Thanks a ton!
There's gotta be a way to beat the game without using actions at all
my head hurts from thinking how much time it took
lol right took about 140 hours total to create the video + planning + and playing and editing scripting etc
Have you ever tried playing bg3 without buying anything? As in, no trading or bartering, only using what you find in the environment, receive as rewards, or loot from dead bodies after battles?
not sure if it'll make a difference but at 1:06 the mind flairs should not move inside the wreck if you hide before approaching them and remain outside of their vision cones. This lets you walk right behind them for 1 action cost (being careful not to step on the fire). Then you can just free gale and fast travel shadowheart to you (you'll have to leave her behind as she can't take the hide action to get past the mind flairs).
At the time I wanted to save hide, but for sure ur right. I could have used the monk version of hide later on.
@@ProxyGateTactician oh for sure, I had the benefit of hindsight when making that post. one other thing i might have tried would be to use shadowheart as bait and just run past them and flee from combat with no action cost. Then you can have withers revive her later, much like you did with astarion.
u sound a lot like mitten squad, rip to the guy fr
Now THIS is my kinda “nerding-out”
Well done, subbed for future content
