Baldurs gate 3 is a game I’ve been waiting for , for years . I’m glad it’s not easy or simple . We need more dnd influenced games . The stories are endless . I don’t know why wizards of the coast have such a had time making a game similar to this . If they had a full blown dnd game like Baldurs gate 3 it would bring more people to the idea of playing table top .
It seems to happen when one of your companions are shapeshifted. The avatar drops the shapeshift for things like this, and casts it again without removing a charge.
And for fuck sake, don't forget to save the Tieflings and the Gnomes! I went and did Nightsong first before saving them thinking i could do it after that and they were all freaking dead i was pissed off as fuck but didn't want to do Nightsong all over again and that bullshit fight in the main hall of Moonrise Towers all over again!
Yeah for sure that's one of the most important. Great rewards, and my rarest bg3 steam achivement, something like 1.4% to save all tieflings on a single playthrough.
@@ReveriesVideos If that battle at Moonrise Towers main floor wasn't absolutely ridiculous, i would even reload an older save just to save the guys and avoid having Jaheira die (didn't know youncand revivify npcs i was like: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKK), but oh Lord... i'm just bored and pissed with this fight to do It again
So glad I saw this comment. Luckily, I still had a save right outside the pool that leads to the nightsong so I didn’t have to do those trials again. Like you, I went to the towers after I freed her and had to fight everyone. Was pissed until I saw that save point.
One more note that if you want to infiltrate the Moonrise you also need to do it before you resolve the Nightsong quest as once you do there will be no more talking, only killing at the towers. At least in my playthrough they all turned hostile afterwards and I unwillingly skipped a bunch of content there.
@@bendakstarkiller1270 Even as an Oath of Vengeance pally I ended up reloading the game, cause when I saved Nightsong, I failed the 2 rescue quests in moonrise towers, since they can only be done when you infiltrate the place. And as a paladin I swore to save them, so RP wise it didn't make sense to abandon those tieflings and halflings.
I went to Moonrise tower first, bought/steal everything I needed, got the everlasting vigour potion and then went to the Nightsong quest and came back with a Vengeance cuz there was hell to pay!
Night song was one of the first things I did and had no idea what I missed and why wulbren was dead when I got to the prison. On my second playthrough just rescued him and kinda miss him bring dead tbh
Well well. I got all the way to the entrance to the Nightsong and got that point of no return message. Came here to check if I missed anything. Got everything! Nice.
I took Halsin with me and he was able to talk Oliver down without a major fight (there was a minor fight)-and without having to play hide and seek, too!
that's why i am in love with this game i didn't find Arabella in the act 1 because i didn't explored the Emerald Grove, and she probably is the girl that was killed by Kagha when Halsin said something about sacrifice. and then, i was trying to find her in the act 2, but i can't because she was killed this game is extraordinary
Not true? I rescued Cal and Lia, they went back to last light asking where Rolan was, I went to go find him and sent him back to last light where they yelled at eachother about how the other was dumb for trying to help everyone else.
I was able to rescue the Tieflings first and then find him- but it was because I found his hollogram in last light that gave me the quest marker, I'd say do not rest or leave the area, just go get him, the fight is pretty easy
Drinking with the bartender will hain you approval with Astarion but do the 3rd one as a sleight of hand not a drink. He also approved the story telling. Arabella is something you should do early as the spell helps fight the shadows.
A fun thing my friend and I did for the portal battle was to lay down two lines of smokepowder and firewine barrels on the left side. One closer to the rock and the other further away where the cursed folk come out in droves. We also greased the ground and laid other smokepowder bombs. When the numbers started arriving we fired off a flame arrow. Worth it for the explosion alone. The only thing missing from that sastifying effect was a mushroom cloud.
Did something similar but laid out glyph of warding (fire) so it triggered an explosion and pretty much took out the whole first wave. Ended up defeating all the waves a turn before halsin came back.
If you first enter the map via the mountain passage the waypoint is not far for the last part of Thaniel. Once you have the waypoint you can then go back to Grymforge and start from there and then when you need to do the last part for Thaniel you can just use the waypoint that brings you pretty much on the doorstep of that part.
The really fun thing about this game for me is going with the rolls if it happens it happens no reloading. 😅 It gives replay ability I've done 2 playthroughs and on my third so far each ones been different.
One thing, I found out about Thaniel the hard way in my first playthrew: You can do Thaniel even AFTER Nightsong, but it is tricky. So you should do it before. I ran into it and talked to Halsin after Nightsong to find out, that his quest was done. But I had a save before I talked to him. So I used that and just did not talk to him. Instead I went to Art, who was dead already. But with "speak to the dead" you can get all necessary information. When you speak to Halsin after that, you can pick up his Thaniel questline even after Nightsong, by choosing the right dialog option, which only pops up, when you have spoken to Art. So the Thaniel quest is only finalized in the first Convo with Halsin after NIghtsong.
At my first playthrough I skipped almost everything because I wanted to help my bae Shadowheart asap from her hurting curse. But as it turned out she won't get to cure it until act 3, and I kinda blocked a lot of quests.
I messed up and missed halsin on my first game; Now I need to do 2 more playthroughs - one for him and another for minthara. Mods really add to the game as "tactician" is still far too easy - I had 3 deaths; one from going into under moonrise with no resources (missed the recharge thing), one from the gith ambush at the end of act 2 (didnt rest - oops) and the other from the netherbrain boss because i didnt notice the portal so tried to dps down with one character in an entire playthough with no advanced knowledge of what is to come and 5 long rests total. With mods I increased the enemy HP/stats by 100%/+2 (vs 30% for tactician), added artificer/cleric subclasses/hexblade/glamour, made dual wielding (except hand crossbows) not suck, improved visuals with reshade, added the fix for villagers running from summons and added 5e spells.
I did Thaniel after Nightsong but before leaving for the gate and it worked out ok, just have to do it before you leave for the journey to Baldurs Gate.
I actually managed to pass almost all of my checks. I drank the stuff lol. 😅 and the guy exploded. I had to reroll on the gold lady but managed to talk her into exploding and talked the house of healing guy to be killed by his followers. Lol.
Any strange effects other than being drunk from it? Kinda weary of doing things since I gave lazel brain damage just trying to see if that device would kill her lol. I must have missed the gold lady, I heard about her but never seen her.
No, not for me but I played as a Cleric. You can roll to have your god protect you from the effects and the narrator says repeatedly you are no worse for wear and there are no stat changes
Yeah my tav is a monk and the monk option to just wisdom save each time to steel my body against the effects was so cool. I love how each class has a robust approach to certain dialogue choices
Also, theres a little place i missed completely on my first playthrough- theres a morgue outside the house of healing. There's a set of doors down a small dark decline thats hard to see. Theres a fight with some undead guys and some gas vents. Then going through the entire thing will lead to a gorge with green gas. At the bottom theres some slimes and an undead guy with good armor to loot. Theres also a couple chests and it has a back way out. I think the back way out leads to somewhere on the road to baldurs gate but I can't remember. Anyway, its worth the xp and loot if you arent rushing through the game and easily missed.
I got a feeling this has all been patched because I went and finished up all of shadowhesrts business in this area and then took care of everything else you mentioned afterward!
What act is this in? I'm in Act 1 & just did the Moon Puzzles for the Nightsong quest. I'm guessing this is a quest that's near the end, or something? I hear people say to make sure to finish other quests & find so & so before starting it. Making it seem like a 'point of no return' situation. I didn't watch too much of the video, cuz i didn't wanna spoil too much
@@ReveriesVideos There was a quick shot of his face during one of the dialogue lines, where he was using his eye as a mouth, with lip sync and everything. The most cursed glitch I've ever seen lol Video: youtu (dot) be (slash) oRTVvkrwJw0 (YT censor is getting ridiculous, remove spaces and replace the words dot and slash)
Thank you!I was kind of lost with whether i should do nightsong first and where it would take me. So this really helped! I had taken a break from BG3 so thats why :p
I learn, do some quests first, like save people from the moonrise tower, do some others quests, then do the nightsong quest. I learn if you do the nightsong quest without rescuing people from moonrise tower, their are gone when you go there again.
Holy sh!t the amount of things I missed. Guess they will have to wait for my 2nd playthrough already half way through moonrise fight and I'm not reloading.
Things to do before doing nightsong 1) fill the entire first floor of moonrise tower with explosive barrels also dont forget to go to balthazars room, get the dead pixie and combine it with the broken/empty lantern something (I actually forgot the name of that lantern), its a pretty nifty lantern with a good spell.
There’s also the big root monster with all the small little root monsters and a couple undead Harper’s. There’s a unique ring that’s not very good imo but I’m just kind collecting everything I can
Hey sorry about that, I did mention it but it was mentioned at the end of the video(also in link description).. I should have mentioned at the start though. I just made a separate video on it, so didn't actually include it in this video.
Well seeing as i stayed neutral and didn't get involved in the emerald grove stuff i am 0/3 so far. All the characters required for those first three quests perished, and i did save Arabella from the snake but i guess she was killed by goblins. Was getting Minthara worth all of it? Yes.
Interesting, instead of Rolan missing, Zevlor is missing for me and Rolan stood up for the child tieflings during the ambush they mention. I wonder what actions or choices you make changes this?
rolan did stand up for the tieflings however they got overrun and they took his siblings away you get a mission to get his siblings back but he is impatient and tries to look for them himself hence rolan goes missing after you save his siblings
lol, if you’re a barbarian when talking to the bar tender it gives you the option to chug down every single drink with no consequence and your party members approve, (at least shadowheart, Karlach and wyll)
The only way to meet Halsin is at goblin camp where he was kept behind the bars. If you didn't side with the bear (Halsin's beast form) and kill all the goblins, you can't save Halsin. I guess you messed up with the Goblin camp.
Defending helsin while he was searching inside the portal can be insanely hard! It's not as easy as he showed in the video, they keep sending a infinite amount of shadows and shadow cursed people at you plus they are all focused on the portal, you gotta prepare for a hard battle so try to control the battle grounds with fire puddles and things that slow movement and before you start place fire barrels and powder barrels every where you know that they spawn and if you can even place some boxes in front of the portal to cover it and give you a higher ground advantage, i did that and released the spectator from the iron flask to distract them and nearly didn't make it it was down to the last HP! Lol but for real it was insane and I was just playing on Balanced mode i don't know if it was the easiest difficulty he showed but yeah he made it look really easy and it was not, the battle with the shadow kid wasn't ether but it was at least possible without a ton of explosive barrels lol
Yeeeah only thing I could do/complete was the bartender. I actually did drink, but my Paladin has stupid high saving throw bonuses and stomached them all down. Minthara even approves if you can drink without ill effects. Easy approval bump for a companion with few opportunities for approval gain
Murder the whole Grove and tieflings in act one and none of these people are here. Halsin died in his goblin cage, Roland's nowhere in the shadow curse from I could see. Gnomes can get fucked in their dungeon. I killed everyone at last light inn. Pure evil dark surge play through this time.
@reveriesvideos I have three questions, and overall comments. First: how are you getting double 20's on advantage persuasion rolls? item, mods? Second, what bard build did you do? Third, if I have Gale as a bard, would he be able to get the same success in persuasion rolls like you're getting (pending the answer to question 1). I am on my third playthrough (technically my first two i only completed Acts I and II and didn't like my party builds in Act III) with the monk rogue build as main (super OP build I suggest people give it a go), and i turned Gale into a Lore Bard. I hope to do a lot of these quests you've shown as I never knew of some of them in the shadow area, or specifically how they're connected to lifting the curse. In my third playthrough I took out all the goblins and the drow at the goblin camp (avoiding the fight at the druid encampment), so all of the NPCs are now available in the shadow area. I can't wait to lift that curse to make Moonrise Towers so much easier. Great video, thank you.
Sorry for the super late reply. I am not using any mods though. If you're referring to the double dice rolls, those are perks...I forgot which ones. I was not actually a bard, but just a wizard for my mc. Totally ahead of me, as I am only on my 2nd playthrough 😁. Been held up with some depressing things in RL that are more important though. I am using monk rogue on my 2nd playthrough & its not only op but def pretty fun for sure. Can't remember the last time I played a single player game over more than once, but bg3 has so much to miss, with so much variety with each new playthrough.
Note: you have to roll a 21 to get the doc to kys. Without any help, its impossible for you to roll a 21 on a d20. Add proficiencies to your roll. I reloaded 10 times trying to get the 21, then i face palmed myself on my last roll. You cant get a 21 from a d20 without aid. Inevitably i had to fight the doc. Hes either a fiend or undead because he passively got blinded by Shart.
Another important thing to do before you fight the general, and possibly before Nightsong.. Do the quests for Wyll, or something terrible happens. I didn't see a warning about it until i was in an area i couldn't warp out of!
So much missed content - as soon as I go to the Last Light Inn and went upstairs, there was a cutscene and mini-boss battle, the moonshield fell and everyone died or turned hostile. I had and idea there were other quests there, but not sure what triggered this outcome - any idea how to stop this from happening? Another playthrough is in order!
I didn't know this so I did Night song first, now I'm attacking Moonrise and prisoners are all gone. Can't reload on Xbox all but 2 saves are deleted daily. can't save them and get my Achievement 50 hours that will need to be redone.
I had to reload my saves 1 million times when trying to save Dammon at the last light in because of the recent bug in patch three, where the strange ox kills him, and the only solution I found to this problem is before you make it to the last light in travel back to the druid grove, and kill the strange ox. Nobody else will be there pretty much but the druids. So the ox is standing by itself and if you kill it and then go to the last light in will not be there, but the blacksmith will. Otherwise, it kills him pretty much immediately and instantly.
I just had to redo 3 hours of gaming because I did not know that I could not save the tieflings afterwards 😂 I wish I saw this sooner. 😢 Act 2 is whooping my ass forreal… I had to undo the kidnapping because everyone at the last light was dying on me. So cruel. Also the portal defending for Halsin fight was soooo hard took me forever thru lmao 😅
I tried to talk with arabellas parents cuz i thought it might open up a new chat option for her like if they told me to tell her they love her but its not possible you cant talk with the dead with her parents
I killed the cleric protecting last light and then the town for tge dark urge quest and i had shadowheart kill nightsong to go full dark side... mabie ill be nice a clear the curse next playthrew lol
I must have missed the memo because my man went straight to Shar's temple and cleared most it....until I met a certain Orc. Gonna backtrack now and complete the map and come back a tad bit stronger.
It is explained. Her parents died to put her on the path of the weave. Arabella says so herself when Withers helps relieve her grief and she says “is that my future?”, it’s just not shown in this video.
It’s implied also through withers that her powers are potentially something unique, and very powerful that need to flourish. From what I gather she’s able to absorb and use all kinds of magic, not just Druid ones.
So before going into the nightsong prison I needed to make sure I picked up the necromancy of thay book before I moved on. In doing so Gather your allies quest says Halsin has left the party to do his own thing. He is still at the camp, with the kid we cured and he is able to join my party as well. I hope I didn't screw up any future quests with him by traveling back to act 1. If I lost him on this playthough I'll have to deal with it.
Hmm thats interesting, didn't think you could go back from that part. Let me know how it turns out, hopefully it will be fine. Book of thay is better anyway 😉.
Act 3 spoilers So it turns out Halsin was kidnapped and impersonated by Orin in act 3. It almost seems like the decision to leave act 2 and go back forced him to be the target of the faceless since it said he left but she was able to take his place. Interesting twist I didn't see. Now I gotta see if I can save him without making a deal.
Im not sure what i did wrong but i went through the whole process of the "He Who Was" quest but somehow never got the quest "assigned" so i completed everything but got no reward. Can anybody give me some insight? Did I miss something in the beginning?
Guys i think i fucked up😂 Everyone died/ i killed them, Halsin is gone too lol. It was all an accident i swear, but i realised my mistake waaaaay later😢 Better luck in my next game ig, rip😂
So I think I'm in the middle of the nightsong quest... just after the room where you have to turn off the lights... am I fine if I leave and come back later? 😅

The amount of times I pressed “reload save” in this game in ungodly
If I didn't pass a check after 12 or so reloads, I took the fail. I'm strict like that.
real
You are not alone 😅 and it was all worth it!

"Finally, let's finish this nightsong quest at last"
-Me, 10 hours ago
Relatable, game reminded me with the all-nighters that I'm not 20 anymore, no regrets.
Proud with myself that I've done all these things before going for the Nightsong. My obsession with exploring sometimes come in handy.
I love to do every side thing possible first. That's for all games I play
My mind is to, goal oriented, to this, grab that, move one.
Really tried to let go of that in this game and just explore. I've done, decent xD
Ok so I’m not the only one that had the owlbear glitch when talking to thanial.
Haha I had it yesterday!! So annoying

You can skip the bullshit fight. After defeating Ketheric they'll all be dead and you can collect the tadpoles.

At least in my playthrough they all turned hostile afterwards and I unwillingly skipped a bunch of content there.
Yeah, same here. I guess it fits with my role-play, being an oath of vengeance paladin, but for most it'll be a bummer for sure :P

Do they really turn Agro if you do this beforeehand ? I’m at nightsongs prison but I still haven’t been to moonrise
Casting darkness or fog cloud on Halsin’s portal, the enemies can’t target it
You saved me thank you ❤
Fire wall also does wonders, place it on the beach left of the rock help me tons
That's what I did too lol
Cloud of Daggers on the enemies spawn point helps too.
Wasn’t too hard tbh
You don't actually have to talk to the nurse to get to the doctor. You can go thru the back door and go straight into the medical theatre
Well well. I got all the way to the entrance to the Nightsong and got that point of no return message. Came here to check if I missed anything. Got everything! Nice.
I took Halsin with me and he was able to talk Oliver down without a major fight (there was a minor fight)-and without having to play hide and seek, too!
By playing Hide and seek with Oliver you get a ring of Pass without trace.
that's why i am in love with this game
i didn't find Arabella in the act 1 because i didn't explored the Emerald Grove, and she probably is the girl that was killed by Kagha when Halsin said something about sacrifice.
and then, i was trying to find her in the act 2, but i can't because she was killed
this game is extraordinary
2:36 you can cast darkness or fog cloud on the portal and it keeps enemies from shooting at it
Damn... that is actually genious
With Rolan make sure you find him BEFORE you rescue the Tieflings. Otherwise he will be shadow cursed and you’ll have to kill him.
if you find him as a shadow cursed you can use the polymorph spell to change him into a sheep and then hit him to end it. it should turn him back
Not true? I rescued Cal and Lia, they went back to last light asking where Rolan was, I went to go find him and sent him back to last light where they yelled at eachother about how the other was dumb for trying to help everyone else.
I was able to rescue the Tieflings first and then find him- but it was because I found his hollogram in last light that gave me the quest marker, I'd say do not rest or leave the area, just go get him, the fight is pretty easy
I found rolan before finding the tieflings and he had died down by the docks. Wasn't cursed but killed by them.
i found him after rescued the tiefling and the gnoms in moonrise prison, still alive and i was enable tu rescue him
Drinking with the bartender will hain you approval with Astarion but do the 3rd one as a sleight of hand not a drink. He also approved the story telling. Arabella is something you should do early as the spell helps fight the shadows.

When the numbers started arriving we fired off a flame arrow. Worth it for the explosion alone. The only thing missing from that sastifying effect was a mushroom cloud.
I did the same thing, but waited until halfway through when all of their forces show up. Boooom. MOAB!
Did something similar but laid out glyph of warding (fire) so it triggered an explosion and pretty much took out the whole first wave. Ended up defeating all the waves a turn before halsin came back.
It would be really cool to have arabella be secret hireling and/or have her be the only way to unlock the shadow druid as a subclass
Happy to see I didn't miss anything on my playthrough xD
Also if you write 0:00 in your index, TH-cam will add chapters to the video timeline
Thanks for the heads up, wasn't aware of that.
Oh there's plenty more things you can do prior to Shar's Gauntlet. This is just kind of a 'major things to do' list.
I am really glad I watched this because I almost missed Rolan wandering off and I woulda been bummed to miss his redemption ark

You also get Astarion approval for every passed Con save and Karlach gets Inspired
I’m a barbarian and was able to pass all of the drink checks. I drank them all but I guess I’m too buff to feel the effects lol
Also, theres a little place i missed completely on my first playthrough- theres a morgue outside the house of healing. There's a set of doors down a small dark decline thats hard to see. Theres a fight with some undead guys and some gas vents. Then going through the entire thing will lead to a gorge with green gas. At the bottom theres some slimes and an undead guy with good armor to loot. Theres also a couple chests and it has a back way out. I think the back way out leads to somewhere on the road to baldurs gate but I can't remember. Anyway, its worth the xp and loot if you arent rushing through the game and easily missed.
I got a feeling this has all been patched because I went and finished up all of shadowhesrts business in this area and then took care of everything else you mentioned afterward!
What act is this in? I'm in Act 1 & just did the Moon Puzzles for the Nightsong quest.
I'm guessing this is a quest that's near the end, or something? I hear people say to make sure to finish other quests & find so & so before starting it. Making it seem like a 'point of no return' situation.
I didn't watch too much of the video, cuz i didn't wanna spoil too much
I see, you broke the cutscene whe. Halsin-Owlbear talks to Oliver 😂😂😂 it was so weird when it happened to me the first time ahahah
Honestly that was pretty hilarious, was going to include more of it, but you just saw nothing but a whole screen of feathers for most of it 😁.
@@ReveriesVideos There was a quick shot of his face during one of the dialogue lines, where he was using his eye as a mouth, with lip sync and everything. The most cursed glitch I've ever seen lol
Video: youtu (dot) be (slash) oRTVvkrwJw0
(YT censor is getting ridiculous, remove spaces and replace the words dot and slash)
Good to see I'm not the only one that got a fateful of Owlbear upon completing Thaniel's quest lol.
Glad I saw this. Was about to charge straight into nightsong
Thank you!I was kind of lost with whether i should do nightsong first and where it would take me. So this really helped! I had taken a break from BG3 so thats why :p
I learn, do some quests first, like save people from the moonrise tower, do some others quests, then do the nightsong quest. I learn if you do the nightsong quest without rescuing people from moonrise tower, their are gone when you go there again.
Holy sh!t the amount of things I missed. Guess they will have to wait for my 2nd playthrough already half way through moonrise fight and I'm not reloading.
Things to do before doing nightsong
1) fill the entire first floor of moonrise tower with explosive barrels
also dont forget to go to balthazars room, get the dead pixie and combine it with the broken/empty lantern something (I actually forgot the name of that lantern), its a pretty nifty lantern with a good spell.
Or Gale can destroy the magic circle with the lamp and get a permanent buff
@@SandraStar66 Can you please explain yourself?
@Raizazel he gets a buff from the God of magic
There’s also the big root monster with all the small little root monsters and a couple undead Harper’s. There’s a unique ring that’s not very good imo but I’m just kind collecting everything I can
Ffs I have nearly cleared the whole map and none of the stuff I did played out this way 🤣
you didn't mention that you have to save the prisoners before freeing nightsong. Had to go back like 10 hours.
Hey sorry about that, I did mention it but it was mentioned at the end of the video(also in link description).. I should have mentioned at the start though. I just made a separate video on it, so didn't actually include it in this video.
@@ReveriesVideos Bummer! I guess I missed it! Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it
This is what we need because more what to do first
Theyve been talking about nightsong points, the encounter with He who was should apply
Well seeing as i stayed neutral and didn't get involved in the emerald grove stuff i am 0/3 so far. All the characters required for those first three quests perished, and i did save Arabella from the snake but i guess she was killed by goblins. Was getting Minthara worth all of it? Yes.
Interesting, instead of Rolan missing, Zevlor is missing for me and Rolan stood up for the child tieflings during the ambush they mention. I wonder what actions or choices you make changes this?
rolan did stand up for the tieflings however they got overrun and they took his siblings away
you get a mission to get his siblings back but he is impatient and tries to look for them himself hence rolan goes missing after you save his siblings
Rolan goes missing after you have the isobel fight - he doesnt go missing, he just tries to save his siblings while zevlor is always missing.
lol, if you’re a barbarian when talking to the bar tender it gives you the option to chug down every single drink with no consequence and your party members approve, (at least shadowheart, Karlach and wyll)
If you talk to it, He Who Was's raven is super mean.
Halsin died before I could even meet him… not sure where I messed up 😂
The only way to meet Halsin is at goblin camp where he was kept behind the bars. If you didn't side with the bear (Halsin's beast form) and kill all the goblins, you can't save Halsin. I guess you messed up with the Goblin camp.
Defending helsin while he was searching inside the portal can be insanely hard! It's not as easy as he showed in the video, they keep sending a infinite amount of shadows and shadow cursed people at you plus they are all focused on the portal, you gotta prepare for a hard battle so try to control the battle grounds with fire puddles and things that slow movement and before you start place fire barrels and powder barrels every where you know that they spawn and if you can even place some boxes in front of the portal to cover it and give you a higher ground advantage, i did that and released the spectator from the iron flask to distract them and nearly didn't make it it was down to the last HP! Lol but for real it was insane and I was just playing on Balanced mode i don't know if it was the easiest difficulty he showed but yeah he made it look really easy and it was not, the battle with the shadow kid wasn't ether but it was at least possible without a ton of explosive barrels lol
Just use wall of fire spell or scroll or anything similar.
So basically if you side with minathara against the grove you skip all of this 😂
Yep lol. That's why this game has such great replayablity.
Yeeeah only thing I could do/complete was the bartender. I actually did drink, but my Paladin has stupid high saving throw bonuses and stomached them all down. Minthara even approves if you can drink without ill effects. Easy approval bump for a companion with few opportunities for approval gain
Met He Who Was as an Oathbreaker and punished the s out of the dead lady. Man, he got so pissed.
I spewed my beer reading this! 😂
Murder the whole Grove and tieflings in act one and none of these people are here. Halsin died in his goblin cage, Roland's nowhere in the shadow curse from I could see. Gnomes can get fucked in their dungeon. I killed everyone at last light inn. Pure evil dark surge play through this time.
@reveriesvideos I have three questions, and overall comments. First: how are you getting double 20's on advantage persuasion rolls? item, mods? Second, what bard build did you do? Third, if I have Gale as a bard, would he be able to get the same success in persuasion rolls like you're getting (pending the answer to question 1). I am on my third playthrough (technically my first two i only completed Acts I and II and didn't like my party builds in Act III) with the monk rogue build as main (super OP build I suggest people give it a go), and i turned Gale into a Lore Bard. I hope to do a lot of these quests you've shown as I never knew of some of them in the shadow area, or specifically how they're connected to lifting the curse. In my third playthrough I took out all the goblins and the drow at the goblin camp (avoiding the fight at the druid encampment), so all of the NPCs are now available in the shadow area. I can't wait to lift that curse to make Moonrise Towers so much easier. Great video, thank you.
Sorry for the super late reply. I am not using any mods though. If you're referring to the double dice rolls, those are perks...I forgot which ones. I was not actually a bard, but just a wizard for my mc. Totally ahead of me, as I am only on my 2nd playthrough 😁. Been held up with some depressing things in RL that are more important though.
I am using monk rogue on my 2nd playthrough & its not only op but def pretty fun for sure. Can't remember the last time I played a single player game over more than once, but bg3 has so much to miss, with so much variety with each new playthrough.
@@ReveriesVideos thank you for the reply. i wish you well on the things IRL, and you and your loved ones have a great holiday sesason!
@@tonyelliott5045 Sorry for late reply again, really appreciate it. Wishing you the same as well.
I didn't know you could do anything that was not fight Thorm. They just aggroed me immediately on both of my play throughs lol
Note: you have to roll a 21 to get the doc to kys. Without any help, its impossible for you to roll a 21 on a d20. Add proficiencies to your roll.
I reloaded 10 times trying to get the 21, then i face palmed myself on my last roll. You cant get a 21 from a d20 without aid. Inevitably i had to fight the doc. Hes either a fiend or undead because he passively got blinded by Shart.
worth noting that you can still save thaniel by talking to art's corpse if he's dead
Why would he be dead?
@@grizzlyadamblack killing isobel, or Marcus kidnappint her, i guess
Another important thing to do before you fight the general, and possibly before Nightsong.. Do the quests for Wyll, or something terrible happens. I didn't see a warning about it until i was in an area i couldn't warp out of!
what quest??
This quest can ONLY be done after the Nightsong and general fight at the top of Moonrise. I won't say more as to not spoil anything
I haven't used Gale much but now he's one of my main group, his AOE stuff is way better than lyzel, all these quests in this video Gale made very easy
So much missed content - as soon as I go to the Last Light Inn and went upstairs, there was a cutscene and mini-boss battle, the moonshield fell and everyone died or turned hostile.
I had and idea there were other quests there, but not sure what triggered this outcome - any idea how to stop this from happening?
Another playthrough is in order!
I believe that happens as soon as you go up stairs to talk to Isobel. You just have to side with her, otherwise everyone will die there.
You let Isobel get beaten and kidnapped so that outcome occurs.
You need to save isobel. Just have a priest throw sanctuary on her or she'll get multihit.
You need to defend and keep Isobel alive, by killing all the attackers. This keeps the protection spell and opens up further quests and progression.
Just don’t talk to her
my outcome with that doctor was so different 😂😂
who are you and what are you on and where can I get some?
Thank you bro
My party was readu to go but hesitate a bit
Yeah the tiefling girl just cried when I told her her parents were dead. No withers or any cutscene
I think you have to tell her to wait in camp
It is possible you werent supposed to know that before you told her to go to camp (or told her that first, idk).
Malus Throm won't wake up to my beautiful lute tunes. 😢
I didn't know this so I did Night song first, now I'm attacking Moonrise and prisoners are all gone. Can't reload on Xbox all but 2 saves are deleted daily. can't save them and get my Achievement 50 hours that will need to be redone.
I had to reload my saves 1 million times when trying to save Dammon at the last light in because of the recent bug in patch three, where the strange ox kills him, and the only solution I found to this problem is before you make it to the last light in travel back to the druid grove, and kill the strange ox. Nobody else will be there pretty much but the druids. So the ox is standing by itself and if you kill it and then go to the last light in will not be there, but the blacksmith will. Otherwise, it kills him pretty much immediately and instantly.
does the ox kill dammon if he becomes hostile or just out of nowhere? Bc the ox is pretty important in act 3
in my game rolan isnt showing up at all at the location he said no matter the ways I go to the location
I just had to redo 3 hours of gaming because I did not know that I could not save the tieflings afterwards 😂
I wish I saw this sooner. 😢
Act 2 is whooping my ass forreal… I had to undo the kidnapping because everyone at the last light was dying on me. So cruel. Also the portal defending for Halsin fight was soooo hard took me forever thru lmao 😅
I tried to talk with arabellas parents cuz i thought it might open up a new chat option for her like if they told me to tell her they love her but its not possible you cant talk with the dead with her parents
I used it on her dad and he told me they were betrayed by Zevlor but nothing happened when I used it on her mom
I found the lute but never knew what it was for!
I killed the cleric protecting last light and then the town for tge dark urge quest and i had shadowheart kill nightsong to go full dark side... mabie ill be nice a clear the curse next playthrew lol
Thats the kinda playthrough I wanna do next playthrough 😁.
I'm up to that bit and was wondering if you can snipe her from the balcony as there's a lot of harpers in that inn.
I must have missed the memo because my man went straight to Shar's temple and cleared most it....until I met a certain Orc. Gonna backtrack now and complete the map and come back a tad bit stronger.
Lol I'm at that certain orc right now, did coming back stronger work?
I’m in the place but there is no Rolan. Where do you get the quest?
I found and saved Rolan but he died walking back to the inn because of the surface spell I used. 🤦
Anyone else wondering why withers never explained why he won't or can resurrect her parent's to us or the little Girl?
It is explained. Her parents died to put her on the path of the weave. Arabella says so herself when Withers helps relieve her grief and she says “is that my future?”, it’s just not shown in this video.
It’s implied also through withers that her powers are potentially something unique, and very powerful that need to flourish. From what I gather she’s able to absorb and use all kinds of magic, not just Druid ones.
Ended killing Rolan, he was an undead, not sure how.
Caveat on #2 is that I think if you talk the sisters and/or Thorm into killing themselves, I think you get the quest XP, but you lose the kill XP.
Usually when you persuade someone to not fight, however you do it, you get the xp as if you killed them
So before going into the nightsong prison I needed to make sure I picked up the necromancy of thay book before I moved on. In doing so Gather your allies quest says Halsin has left the party to do his own thing. He is still at the camp, with the kid we cured and he is able to join my party as well. I hope I didn't screw up any future quests with him by traveling back to act 1. If I lost him on this playthough I'll have to deal with it.
Hmm thats interesting, didn't think you could go back from that part. Let me know how it turns out, hopefully it will be fine. Book of thay is better anyway 😉.
You’ll be fine he just doesn’t got to that region, annoying if you fast travel there straight away 🤣
Act 3 spoilers
So it turns out Halsin was kidnapped and impersonated by Orin in act 3. It almost seems like the decision to leave act 2 and go back forced him to be the target of the faceless since it said he left but she was able to take his place. Interesting twist I didn't see. Now I gotta see if I can save him without making a deal.
Good guide, man. Hope it helps you grow.
Where can I find Mol? Or is that in the next act?
what if you fail to protect the portal because i tried so many times and keep failing
Not gonna lie, I’m rotted at the fact that I missed most of this stuff
First time playing n grinding a rpg game best game of choice i picked
Im not sure what i did wrong but i went through the whole process of the "He Who Was" quest but somehow never got the quest "assigned" so i completed everything but got no reward. Can anybody give me some insight? Did I miss something in the beginning?
Arabella's corpses had nothing to say
i see you also forgot to undo wild shape before the cutscene
So basically nightsong is the end of Act 2 and it's best to complete literally everything before doing it?
Guys i think i fucked up😂 Everyone died/ i killed them, Halsin is gone too lol. It was all an accident i swear, but i realised my mistake waaaaay later😢 Better luck in my next game ig, rip😂
I managed to do all of these except He Who Was. I'm in the beginning of act 3. It's not possible to meet him at this point, huh?
I don’t see Rolan at all?
AS for the Creche that should have been taken care of before you got to ACT 2 as it's an ACT 1 quest line.
Wait i thought you couldn't go back to the mountain pass (leave the area) once you infiltrate moonrise tower or the gauntlet of shar?
Somebody please 🤣 Did I miss the Ne'er Misser by setting Nightsong on Moonrise? No merchants, all hostile
So I think I'm in the middle of the nightsong quest... just after the room where you have to turn off the lights... am I fine if I leave and come back later? 😅
2:00 you say that so casually like it wasn’t anything lmfao I had to stack boxes and everything lmao
Almost did it before even entering the mountain pass lol
i dont even find baldurgate but already finished saving nightsong lo wtf??? how did u guys get to baldur gatee?
Was about to jump in and was like oh shit moonrise I forgot about that
I rescued Roland and sent him back and he still was found outside the inn cursed and undead
I’ve still missed so much just means I can do it on my next play through 😆😆😆
Im so bummed i didnt get to do any of this i fought before even talking to him and everyone died
bruhhh i didnt find art or thaniel... , i found rolan at least but didnt infiltrate the tower and now its just hostile ...
I’m not getting the gold for saving Roland
