Can You Beat Baldur's Gate 3 Using Only Gifts & Rewards?

- It's time to celebrate 1 year on TH-cam in the best way I know how... stupid overly restricted challenge runs. This time I'll be restricted to using only in game gifts and rewards... using a party made up of a Cat, a Pacifist, a Unlucky guy, and a Throw only man. Together this cursed party will take on the challenge that no one ever asked for while collecting my channel's birthday gifts. Hope you enjoy. No one really reads these descriptions anyways. I could write anything down here and no one will even comment on it I bet... Prove me wrong.

The real gifts were Proxy Gate Tactician videos all along ❤
Thanks! Appreciate it. Can't believe I started this channel a year ago already
I love the idea of a man who just throws housecats to attack.
Basically Minsc lol he can throw Boo for damage. The hamster throwing OG
go for the eyes, cat
just a normal day in florida
Love the detail of having Withers throw The Unluckiest Man Alive out of the Epilogue party, perfect ending to a very fun video
In my head he got thrown to another timeline to re-live his unlucky hell.
Loved seeing those characters teaming up, like the world's worst superhero team. Happy birthday to the channel!
not worst if they managed to win the game duh
@@likeAG6likeAG6 considering the superheroes win always in the end... they can still be the worst
It honestly felt the closest to an actual DnD party lol. Only real humans can make characters this bad and make the worst decisions possible.
I'm not sure if you did get it because I didn't catch it in the video, but if you talk to Stonemason Kith in the Grymforge and pass all three dialogue checks (Perception, History and Investigation) he will give you an Infernal Alloy, which you can later trade with Dammon in Last Light Inn via dialogue for a Flawed Helldusk Helmet. Both of these are obtained via dialogue, no looting or trading
totally missed it. That would have been so good because almost no one gave me anyt armor lol. good to know that's clever.
Is that specific version of the infernal alloy actually able to be used multiple times? Like as long as you don't exit the conversation, you can repeatedly choose the option and get the other 2 pieces of the armor.
Yeah what’s good about that alloy is that it will actually get you all 3 armour pieces (the gloves, helmet and armour) as long as you just keep selecting the dialogue choice “I found this metal in Grymforge what can you make with it”.
Most cursed video description I have ever seen
rofl I can't believe people really read these things
Letting Alfira die and loosing the potent robe and a bunch of other supplies was a move I did not expect, but at lest you got Bex's cookies, I wish she gave us the recipe in act 3
I actually couldn't get Bex's cookies because somehow her husband died in the prison break... Even though there was 0 enemies alive in all of moonrise. I have no idea how, plus he was the ONLY prisoner who died. I was excited to show off those cookies too
I learned recently the Moonrise prisoners can jump into the meat hole and die instead of escaping through the wall 💀 squish
@@bingonight1504 Same happened for me, also with Bex's partner. I was so annoyed because I had already played for a few hours when I realized this.
She never gave me cookies even though he got safe back to her and she said thanks. Didn’t get cookies so maybe it’s a glitch. In another run she was sad that he didn’t make it back alive even though he was standing right next to her 🤔🤔
This is the Infinity War of Proxy Gate Tactician's shared universe
And I'm all for it

5:25 Last time I did it this way, the Moonlantern was put into my inventory when the fight for Isobel *started* . I guess it's a failsave in case Isobel dies during the fight. But hearing that damn pixie whimpering for the whole fight was ANNOYING. And it's the only reason I know it happens in this order in the first place.
Dying by being crushed by an invisible bear would be terrifying
An ugly bard shirt isn't ugly to a bard, it's *eccentric*. Plus, it's all they give us haha! Grats on the year, here's to more!
lol my poor unlucky man was no bard though. Thanks!
Sounds like some weird vampire rules but instead of not being able to enter others' home without invitation, you can't use an item unless it was gifted to you
The cat detonating the bomb and flying into the abyss sent me
Your nonchalant humor is one of the greatest things about your videos, aside from the impressive strategy play
Thanks for that! Glad to hear it still hits 😂
I end up watching it so many times during my edits I can’t tell afterwards
@@ProxyGateTactician I don't see people mention it often but I gotta give it to you! Love the little jokes sprinkled in!
Chucking Balthazar into the void will never not be amusing
W music. Super quiet but i can still here the og StarCraft music.
Even my channel name is Starcraft :) ""Proxy Gate" a SC strategy.
Yeah I always worry about making it loud because with headphones on it's much louder. I test all my vids with Speaker, phone, and headphones before I upload and the headphone music always needs to be low.
@@ProxyGateTactician I didn't even make the connection that's awesome. A true master of strategy, bg3 is honestly a perfect avenue to use strategy. Feels like most games now days don't have as much strategy elements like StarCraft of bg3. Fun stuff. But regardless great vid man. Ggs
just from the intro, i had a brief overwhelming feeling of how the baldurs gate 3 fandom is blessed to have a content creator scene as amazing as it is. Thanks!
This is such a fun idea love this. Congrats on the 1 year 😊
Thanks Morgana!
"Although things hadn't gone fully as planned..." Proxy, it was all precisely to plan. lol I'm seeing playthroughs of the Trials of Tav mod, that'd be an interesting one to do some challenges with while waiting the long 84 years to Larian's next masterpiece.
Absolute genius! I still love the cat character. That all cats video is still my favorite but it was awesome seeing the whole gang in action together! ❤
I can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans we all can get up to in Larian's next game. But since that will be years away, I'll have to watch my favorite TH-camrs crack BG3 wide open!
If you pass the intelligence checks at Grym forge with the one Duergar, he gives you an infernal alloy which you can give to Dammon 3 times to recieve all of the flawed helldusk armor pieces.
Right I read another comment and regret missing that. I knew you get XP from that dialogue, but didn't know about the infernal alloy. Would have been super useful too
@@ProxyGateTactician It was a fun video though! Always enjoy the challenge run content :)
I like reading video descriptions just fyi. lol
Love the avengers style team up of the previous videos protagonists for this one. Keep up the good work Proxy. 😊
Shocked to find out people read that lol
I always assumed it was just for search algorithms. Glad to know it's not going out into nothingness
I wish I could like a video more than once. You are a mad lad. Thanks for all the fun videos! Here's to a second year!
I've watched a lot of your videos and enjoyed them despite have only made it a couple hours into act 1 (game kept crashing on startup despite all troubleshooting efforts, waiting for next major patch to try again). I still have no idea of what the plot of this game actually is and I appreciate that. I just enjoy seeing all the various ways you can play the game and I also like that you don't waste time with 5-10 mins of rambling at the start of every video. Here's to another year!
I've watched all 4 of those videos so it's a delight to see the return of these characters. It looks like it was a genuinely fun run!
Love your work, happy TH-cam birthday! Will be sticking around to see what you come up with next.
What an incredible journey the year was with your fantastic channel full of super exciting challenges. Congratulations! I hope we will see even more videos from the BG3 master!🎉
I just got done watching all your other challenge runs, let's go 🎉
Crazy to think it’s already been a year. I only found your channel a few months ago but I’ve enjoyed every video thus far. Happy anniversary!
you legitimately make some of my favorite videos on the site, great job!!!
7:39 These little book-style slides elevated the video even higher, to be honest. Great choice!
And as usual, good work. Have a wonderful day!
Happy birthday to your channel! Great video, I hope there will be plenty more to come!
This video has granted me real joy. Thank you for doing what you do
Man it’s really crazy all the creative ways you can progress in this game.
"The illegal Bouncy Bear Strategy"
Happy birthday!
I read video descriptions. Congratz you farmed me for engament.
On a serious note: Superb rule set once again! Very fun too see the return axe be exploited this way, I had no idea it even existed.
Okay I thought this would take like a month before someone read this not less than 30 minutes LMAO good on you
Happy channel birthday! Love the creativity of your challenge runs!
The house cat giving the speech and detonating the nuke on the brain made me laugh out loud.
Funny thing about globe of invulnerability is that a mindflayer's mind blast can still stun you and break concentration which happened to me trying the exact same strat at the end there
I was happy for you bc Alfira gives you like one of the best clothing, money, scrolls and potions in act 2 then I saw you kill her for a cloak lmao
Awesome vid idea, i like the cinematic universe being built here
i didn't have faith when i saw this video was only 15 minutes but you have proved me wrong my friend. keep at the goated work
You missed the gloves of uninhibited Kushigo from derryth for your thrower. You just have to go get the confused guy and she gives you them!! :(
I couldn't figure out how to save him without items. (I technically could just move the backpack with magehand how that I think about it though)
@@ProxyGateTactician honestly I forgot you would need to have been given something that you can give to him to save him when I typed this lol but I think you're right about that method. Maybe also could extinguish the torch, and use like protection from poison on him and pop the mushrooms? I've never tried doing that but maybe it's possible to save him that way too
@@JPNDTS Yeah I did think about it, but kinda figured moving the backpack is using an item so I just left him behind. Ur idea though im curious if it would work that sounds clever tbh
You can also save him by moving the backpack via Glut. Glut does not set off the bibberbang.
8:50 cat spin!
“You have acquired cat.”
Another great one mate, need more of these ❤
Naaber screaming happy birthday at the end made me spit my water out lmao
Great video I was so happy when a saw a challenge was released❤
Nice run, keep it up. That's a really good channel. I can't wait to see your next run. Personally I wonder what will be my next. Probably single character and I must never reach the end of round 2 in combat, or I have to reset the fight. Gonna end up assassination I suppose.
You and fracture are the only TH-camrs I watch as soon as a video comes out, love your creative gameplay!
Thanks! I love fracture's videos too. His ridiculous strategy series is amazing
This is psychopathic, and I'm very worried for you. Happy Anniversary!
If you had Wyll in your party you could have also gotten a rapier from Mizora in the mindflayer colony but I liked the fact you used for previous characters for the challenge
Holy shoot that was so legendary, can't believe I have never thought about combining all walkthroughs into one
JUST CHUCKED BALTHASAR STRAIGHT INTO THE VOID, INCREDIBLE
Cheers to this crazy vid & one year!!!
Ok... I think, yeah... I think NOW you've finally completed BG3. Congrats!
this is 100% the cannon BG3 run.
wish these characters could talk to each other, would be funny af and would be a great TV show aswell
excellent video, but L move throwing out the Wavemother's Robe, let throw man live his life
Happy birthday! Hopefully you had fun collecting your birthday gifts instead of it being complete torture 😂
Love your videos! Happy one year!
Thanks!
A brilliant playthrough!
What about Auntie Ethel’s trinket in Act 1 tho?
Great stuff as usual.
Awww, look at this 13:19 must've been tedious to arrange
bro that is actually so good thank you for the vid and congrats
Thanks kotl
I'm sure it's gotten commented by now but with correct dialog options Auntie Ethel can give you a Greater Healing potion in the Grove. Wouldn't have made too much of a difference in the run but felt like mentioning it anyway
So you've got Dame Aylin, Zevlor, auntie Ethel and Sarevok, all on the same team, now that's social skills xD
I absolutely loooove the idea of using a party made up of your previous challenge runs, makes for a real enjoyable video, i have to know what the final playtime was for the run
This one was about 40 hours
I really enjoy these. Very entertaining.
Thanks so much!
FYI Quartermaster Talli will actually hand out 3 food packs, but each character has to ask her and pass the persuasion check. I tried to do it a 4th time but she said “I would give it to you but it appears I’m all out”.
Also at Moonrise Araj Oblora will give each character a free blood potion and depending on what each character is will depend on what the potion does (also if you have a Wizard/Gale question her bloodline first she will also give you some “shutup gold” along with each blood potion).
Then in act 3 you can make your blood become explosive through talking to her (by excepting the gift of a questionable potion from her).
The annoying guy Naaber will also give you a necklace if you put up with his ridiculous questions for a while (Absolute Confidence Amulet: grants the wearer a +1 bonus to Performance checks at the cost of -1 to Intimidation checks).
Also I think the Waterqueens armour would have worked well in fights as long as you had water under your character that throws the hammer, as it would mean you heal as each turn as long as you were standing in the water.
I did grab all those things too, but because they ended up not doing anything for me I cut them from the video. The blood thing actually was worthless for my races, and the armor could have been ok then I guess, but I just decided to toss it for the memes lol
@@ProxyGateTactician good point, because of the restrictions you made for this playthrough you couldn’t get hirelings to get extra blood potions. In my recent game I went through and hired all the hirelings and got her to make a potion from each of them, then I went through the 8 camp companions and got one from each of them too. Some of them are really good and they stack so can all be drunk by one character (unlike normal potions), but I think the Elven one is probably the best as it gives an extra 10m movement per turn until long rest.
Also if you talk to Zorru he gives you the quest to kill Kagha, and if you do so you get some gloves from him as a gift (Hellrider's Pride: When you heal another creature, it gains resistance against Bludgeoning, Slashing, and Piercing damage from weapon attacks and +1 to Strength saving throws). Most useful on a Cleric or other healer character though.
And if you talk to Auntie Ethel in the grove and choose the option that’s something like “I just feel a little tired” she will gift you a healing potion (the round 2nd level one) and I think you can do this once per character. (Same with the Gruel you get from the grove, you can have every camp companion/hireling grab a bowl).
I admire your dedication
Omg the trick with the comeback axe is so cool!!!!
This is truly a channel celebration video
Bruh. Cheesing the boss fight with Kethric. That took me hours.
This was like an endgame level ordeal man. This was freaking awesome
now THIS is an avengers-level get-together!
It's insane what kind of tactics are possible in this game.
Happy birthday Proxy. Next challenge, make content for another year!
This feels the most like a real DND party
Love your video ❤
Here's to another year of insane challenges 🎉
Kelemvor seeing a bunch of people who died from fallling turn up to his plane: Ayo wtf?
The most ambitious crossover event In history
This is the most insane challenge run ever
I hope someone will make a fanart of this heroic group
THEY HERE
Great video ❤
This party sounds like an average DnD party.
Great video
At least without vlaakith’s promise of ascension viel glück survived this timeline
lol withers took care of that in the end by killing him though
ah yes "Avengers Assemble" from this channels version of heroes, loved it
never would i have thought to throw a cat to save lae'zel... never in a million years.
Finally, an Avengers-level threat.
I don’t know if you know this yet or not, but if you know where the end of the invinsible maze is you can just click the platform that’s invisible there and the character auto paths there
The endimg scene sped up killed me 😭 he looks like a worm
I’d love to see your take on blue mage because wow it’s kind of tough 😂
3:49 um actually? the correct term is prisoner of war
1:40 don't you get parasites for helping the goblins? cant think of many places you can get them as a gift, maybe siding with nere?
fun fact (i played this game too much), you can double dip on nere. once for siding with him and one from his corpse after "saving" him. no sympathy for dwegar slavers, easy to keep the gnomes alive as they usually* don't join the battle.
*lumps war horn may cause the gnomes to join, also they might join the dwegar (you ARE with nere, though the ogres might be it too) but i cant remember that correctly
Happy anniversary🙏
Thanks!
0:53 not even one minute into the video and he already broke his own rules
Gotta love every challenge at once challenge but also no items - truly a blessed birthday
