@@FriendlyLichyou can have orpheus turn into a mind flayer for the final battle, and then kill himself after the brain is defeated bc he hates what he’s turned into if you wanna go super evil
He he he. The wonders of hold person 😁. Depending on what you plan as equipment maybe the ring of mystic scoundrel may be something for you. "The tadpole needs someone to commune with .... commune, not consume ... ah, well ..." 😂
I usually let Orpheus out just bc I find the other brain fight slightly more annoying. But it’s really just whatever feels fun to you! Or the most chaotically wizard-y. Best of luck in act 3!! ^_^
I always make it a point to purchase the Sentinel shield and equip it before Long Resting just before this fight. Even without proficiency, the initiative boost works and then you can just unequip once you make it to the prism and re-equip whatever you had before. Works for so many fights!! ^_^ But holy fuuuuuuu Kithari just jumping right into it with the acuity and everyone is HELD. Badass! YAS! Emps dominating a held Gith... lmao. Could he be more useless in this fight, fr!
Oh that's a cool idea with the Sentinel Shield! Had not heard about that before! For having such a high intelligence he does makes rather questionable choices 😅. Hold Person upcasted is so crazy with acuity stacks!
It would seem like freeing Orpheus is what everyone mentions (so far!), so that's the road we'll start traveling on. Raphael is coming, hopefully it won't be the end for the necromancer :)
Free Orpheus, let him have hope that he can stop the netherbrain and free his people from Vlaakith, and then betray him at the brain and revel in his despair as with his final breath he watches as you become Absolute? ...I should start playing paladins to offset all the villains I play as a DM.
You inspired me to retry an honor mode with a Druid of spores/Necromancer build. (Wish I could do more eldritch blasting)… I vote Orpheus path, although the ending will be a bit more difficult, I think a betrayal is in order for a dark urge.😈

Since you asked, here’s a few choices: 1. Have the sexy time with Emperor 2. Betray him and side with Orpheus 3. Turn Orpheus into mindflayer 4. Profit Number 1 isn’t mandatory but I recommend it for the laughs. Long live the lich queen 🫡
I'm amazed that you can do that solo!
To quote the dream visitor: ''you are impressive, it is true!''
Solo is so fun and thank you 🙏🏻
Free Orpheus! The mind flayed doesn’t have our best interest in mind! He wants to rule his own way! He will just be in the way of how we want to rule!
That's true! You're making a good argument for Orpheus
@@FriendlyLichyou can have orpheus turn into a mind flayer for the final battle, and then kill himself after the brain is defeated bc he hates what he’s turned into if you wanna go super evil
Come. Have a rest at my camp. Take these potions with you. You'll need it
Oh thank you Sir Fuzzalump!
I find this fight harder than Myrkul but you just breezed right through it. Nice job!
Thanks! I always fear Myrkul most personally, probably due to my Death Knight run ending there.
Free Orpheus and become a Mindd Flayer, there is power to be had Illithilich!
We do like power!
:D Nice. Now the monks got to be the punching bags.
How quickly the tide turns!

Help the Emperor then shank his ass and take over!
*A Lich does not share power.*
You are correct in that statement! 🖤

At the very least I will pick up the ring this run hah. Dino-vacation!

I haven't freed him before so it sounds like a fun thing to try out!

Is there any difference with eating it vs opening your mind? I don't think I've ever eaten it lmao
@@athyteeThe only difference between eating it and not is that you can't use the tadpole on anyone else. Also, it annoys the Emperor a little.
Oh that's a cool idea with the Sentinel Shield! Had not heard about that before!

Side with the emperor. It’s funny
I vote free Orpheus. He's more useful in the final fight, and I'm really interested in seeing your strategy for the House of Hope.
It would seem like freeing Orpheus is what everyone mentions (so far!), so that's the road we'll start traveling on. Raphael is coming, hopefully it won't be the end for the necromancer :)
Evil endings are out for pc so do the most evil one
I like this one ☝️
Free Orpheus, let him have hope that he can stop the netherbrain and free his people from Vlaakith, and then betray him at the brain and revel in his despair as with his final breath he watches as you become Absolute?
...I should start playing paladins to offset all the villains I play as a DM.
@@sammyisanoctopus Hah as a forever DM myself I know what you mean!
Yup free orpheus.
That seems to be the popular choice!
i wana see what happens when you free him out of curiosity
Seems like freeing Orpheus is what people want to see this run (mostly so far!)
F*** the emperor tbh... i never side with them.
Looks like that’s how we roll this run!
Uhh i can use that combo on my light cleric run..
How are you enjoying light cleric?
@@FriendlyLich surprisingly fun. More of a tanky playstyle when you get spiritguardian. Fun with all the debuffs.
Radiant orbs and stagefright is fun
@@Drakkman1978 Sounds like. I’ve been interested in clerics lately
@@FriendlyLich nice!! Next playthrough?
That i cannot wait for 😀
@@FriendlyLich the amount of cleric solo runs on youtube is very few..
are you planning a build yet?

Hell yes! Glad to hear! Are you going druid or necro for the first 6 lvls?
Orpheus it is! Everyone mentioned it so far :)

@@dodobirdhistorian5115 Sounds solid! Don't do like me and eat a Minotaur axe to the face. RIP spore druid run. 😅 Good luck with the run! \o/
