@@FriendlyLichyou can steal stuff from a box without breaking Invisibility as long as you send it to another party member and don't pick it up into your own inventory
I've noticed in the past, if you kill enemies with cull the weak, most of the time it does not trigger the elixir od bloodlust. I don't know why. But in order to make sure to get it, you need to kill them without having to trigger it (or turn it off before, bit that is so much wasted damage especially in the endgame).
Nice build, well played. I wish larian would add a few extra lines to combat AI algorithm in Honor Mode, so we could have a bit of challenge without going solo.
Good day ! Magnificent, very competent fight! Thanks for the video! However, it seems to me that Warlock is strong with his blast. And for this, a great build would be 2 level warlock, 4 level warrior, 6 level sorcerer. At the same time, if you pump up your critrate and get gloves from the merchant Sarevok, then on average the blast damage per attack (3 blast shots) will be about 130-150 damage. You can make 4 such attacks per turn. Do you think this is not too imbalanced? Critrate 15-20+
Thank you and very glad to hear that you enjoyed it. That does sound like crazy average damage indeed and it also sounds like it would trivialize a lot of encounters. Have you tried it out? I felt that the Bhaalist Armor made Act 3 a lot easier, even higher ranged damage must tip the scale by quite a lot.
@@FriendlyLich Yes, I tried this build. It requires the Staff of Sparks (Act 1, valid until Act 3), Mantle of Power (Act 2, valid until the end of the game), Knife of the Undermountain King (Act 1, valid until the end of the game), Orin’s Knife (Act 3, until the end of the game) , Risk Ring (act 2, until the end of the game), Eversight Ring (act 2, until the end of the game), Bow for crit rate (taken in act 3 from a merchant in the lower city, valid until the end of the game), fit for crit with magic, fit from warrior for crit, you can wear Sarevok’s helmet or hood for crit rate (but not necessarily, there are enough crits). And most importantly - krater gloves (bought in Sarevok's chambers from the baalist merchant. This build is simply a hurricane! Damage, survivability, the ability to keep enemies away from the character, control, a sufficient number of cells. I choose "Vigilant" as the second feat for the sake of increasing initiative, extremely the right fit for this build.
Awesome fight. Do you know why raphael is only using one action ? Is there a specifc spell or condition ? He looks like hes not getting close to you either. I remember when i did my run he would go straight at me.
Thank you! I checked 14:55 and 20:25, seems to do 2 actions there at least. Hunger of Hadar got a tendency to mess up enemies if they get blinded though. Is that what you're thinking about?

@@jeanlaurent9447 The necro/paladin was insanely fun to play but I failed at Myrkul. I probably had a terrible strat on him too so I still think it's doable.
20:12 Is hold monster still viable in Honor Mode? In tactician I always just hold monster him and rip him to shreds (I'm usually a Sorlock [heavy on the lock 9/3] with like 24 base spell DC, then I use that hat and scorching ray to get get max arcane acuity (30+ spell dc), then hold monster. I then wipe up the adds with eldritch blasts (which ray each does about 30-60+ [I really leaned into that - potent robe, antagonizing blast, 16-20 crit range, risky ring, bloodlust elixir, and quickened spell]) Probably won't use the true grit on HM though, out of fear of dying LOL!
Hold Monster works just fine. The reason I couldn’t cast it at that timestamp is due to the legendary action Raphael had active at the time. Can’t remember the name of it but it’s basically a save that you have to do each time you attack him and if you lose then you cannot attack him next round. Something like that at least. Sorlock looks like a lot of fun, I haven’t gotten around to play it though!
I think that the only one to get roasted with hellfire was Raphael, not only did Kithara go there with his lack luster performance in bed but then had the audacity to fall asleep on him during their fight 🤣.

First level is fighter which gives us con save proficiency. At level 12 our proficiency bonus is +4 and Amulet of Health sets our con to 23 which is +6. That is +10 on our con saves. Concentration saves are calculated if you get hit for X amount, the save dc is X-10 or x/2, whichever is higher. Which means most of the times the save dc will be 10.

I Solo'ed Raphael with a Barbarian on my first play through (Tactitian). Tiger Barb + Chaos Blade + Periapt of Wound closure is very mean, I would heal 30+ HP each turn from just attacking. If I got lower than 70 % of my total HP I could just drink one healing healing potion instantly healing the max amount of 60 or 80 HP (depending on the bottle). After all the useless demons died and it was just Raphael and I It became a straight slugfest xD
@@yeskevz that's understandable! I believe there's some buffed elemental damage on the weapon and cold/acid from hunger of hadar. was awhile since i played this fight, but i think that was it.
People talks about strategy and so but I just watched a slow approach to the boss, destroyjng the towers was a no brainer choice i guess, plus he did what should every one do, stunning and killing every minnion befor approaching the boss....that sayed ive never played bg3 even tho I want to
Been 5 months since I did this fight so I don't really remember. But here's some of the stuff at least: Charisma +5 Shar's spear enchanted with Elemental Weapon +4 Proficiency +4 Favourable Beginnings +4

In my playthrough i've just thrown one runepower barrel in the middle of the room and it has destroyed all the pillars and almost all enemies 😂
Hey if it gets the job done! :)
I Solo'ed Raphael with a Barbarian on my first play through (Tactitian). Tiger Barb + Chaos Blade + Periapt of Wound closure is very mean, I would heal 30+ HP each turn from just attacking. If I got lower than 70 % of my total HP I could just drink one healing healing potion instantly healing the max amount of 60 or 80 HP (depending on the bottle).
After all the useless demons died and it was just Raphael and I It became a straight slugfest xD
That is sick. Absolutely crazy healing coming out from that. Love the idea of a pissed of barbarian slugging it out with Raphael! 🖤
i feel like such a noob for not knowing that you can save the executioner buff for a miss
also i feel that its really lame the elixir of bloodlust and cull the weak still dont interact well esp for as long as this has been an issue
There are just so many odd tidbits to know in this game so don't feel bad about that.
I was expecting some elemental madness being a Tiamat warlock and all
Besides chromatic orb it’s hard to squeeze in every element effectively on a warlock
@@FriendlyLich True. That's why I was intrigued by the video in the first place XD
I was curious how you'll do it
@@yeskevz that's understandable! I believe there's some buffed elemental damage on the weapon and cold/acid from hunger of hadar. was awhile since i played this fight, but i think that was it.
that is so damn clever
Oh thank you. I’m very happy with how this fight turned out :)
👏
wow.
The song for this fight is crazy lmao. Great for a musical, but for a boss battle? It’s so out of place hahaha.
I like it a lot. Took me by surprise when it went off 😄
I never get tired of this initial bitching of his, and the music.
I love this fight so much 🖤
I didn't know raphael could get blinded
Most enemies can’t see in magical darkness :)
....I am not playing this game right lmao I don't use scrolls or potions outside of healing at all haha
Hah I used to play like that too. Ending crpg’s with hoards of pots and scrolls 😅
People talks about strategy and so but I just watched a slow approach to the boss, destroyjng the towers was a no brainer choice i guess, plus he did what should every one do, stunning and killing every minnion befor approaching the boss....that sayed ive never played bg3 even tho I want to
Oh you really should play it, it's a super fun game :)
Click bait ,this not warlock this multiple class.
You can see the three class icons in the thumbnail. Which of 9 levels are in Warlock, 2 Fighter, 1 Cleric.
how did you get a +21 on attackrolls?
Been 5 months since I did this fight so I don't really remember. But here's some of the stuff at least:
Charisma +5
Shar's spear enchanted with Elemental Weapon +4
Proficiency +4
Favourable Beginnings +4
In addition to what friendly lich just mentioned, I believe the rest of the attack rolls came from the gear
