When you enter combat against enemies with which you already have been in combat they won't get surprised anymore from you attacking them while being invisible. However, if you sneak while also being invisible they will get surprised.
Very nice! What kept him from healing in between battles? Steeped in Bliss is helping you land psionic blast, and giving them vuln to psionic, and is there anything else it is helping with? It just gives them (and you) adv on physical checks, but not saves? Great idea using that.
On a side note, I've found that BG3 is quite interesting restricting oneself to solo, no respec, single class (plus the usual like honor and no barrels). I have nothing but admiration for this run you did; it is brilliant and great content. I just find that that set of restrictions gives the most replayability and such, and allows each class to play differently and so forth.
@@davidmills1520 I don't know why, I just noticed that some bosses in Honor Mode don't heal up in between combat. As for the Resonance Stone (Steeped in Bliss), it's like you said for the the pisonic vulnerability and the disadvantage on mental saving throws to boost my psionic blast.
Indeed BG3 has a very high replayability via challenge runs and with the multiclass system you almost have endless possibilities for your character builds.
Gotta say BG3 is a massive step up from Larain's last RPG game DOS2 and DOS2 already was a very good game.
@@SleepingDog. thats interesting about them not healing, but it might be unintended, afaik, the new honor mode hasn't implemented some of the changes of patch 5, like tavern brawler bonus damage for wild shape as an example, so along with that, they mightve forgotten to program the bosses to heal themselves when combat is "over". just an hypothesis ofc
@@gxrdian I think so too.
Sklpped all of Raphael's dialogue, except for the taunt lol.
It’s optimal, trust me.
Level 6 lightning bolt plus destructive wrath for 16 damage is too relatable
the cambions all lining up to pet the kitty were in for a shocking surprise
this is beyond impressive. what a monumental achievement, gratz!
Easily the best fight in the game! Missed it entirely on my first play through.
Insanity, I screamed threw the roof when I saw his healthbar for the first time.
Yeah, then i return to
the "main questline" kill gortash was sooooo easy compared to him 😂😂
Why
Myrkul was a harder bossfight than Gortash and Orin.@@carloscamposcastilla8428
Amazing man, you are very intelligent and you have so much courage to enter in a fight like this without gear or companions, and your strategy was very great! Greetings from Brazil, and thanks for the video.
GG
Most impressive fight, didn't expect something like that to be doable.
this is impressive
Nicely done. What an expensive fight thoug. Lorroakhan must be rich 😅. And that inventory managment its a pleasure to see.
Awesome and well done!
This is so satisfying to watch
Amazing!
I didn't choose to free Orpheus but man! This fight was amazing! Congrats for achieving this!
I didn’t free him either but still did this fight
@@velo198 last night I did the house of hope and wow. It was the best part in the game for me ( tied with ansur quest line )
We’re reaching disgusting levels of cheese now
Myeah, I mean its clever sure... but it takes the challenge away imo
@@papazky2030isn't the idea of a challenge to come up with a solution? I'd say it's pretty damn challenging to come up with something like this especially if you don't have 500+ hours in game and didn't watch 20+ build and tips & tricks videos at which point you could cheese almost any game, RPG at least.
@@dirzz i tend to compare bg3 with actual dnd, and no DM would let you potion of invis in and out of combat 32 times until the boss is down lol
@@dirzz but as i said, very creative nonetheless
@@papazky2030 well, sure. No game will ever replace an actual DnD session with a good DM, apart from maybe advanced AI in the far future. You have to be a part-DM for yourself because a game like BG3 or Neverwinter are more akin to DnD frameworks, playgrounds where you can tailor your adventure. It would be less fun overall if it imposed more restrictions even if it meant there would be less cheese imo.
Seeing this on tactician difficulty taught me how unimaginative I am in combat, but gave me hope for my own intelligence. When I fought him, my plan of engagement at least kept him from ever using the “gather souls” thing to heal.
👏nice!
Congrats nice fight.
Every time I noticed your skipping, I thought: ah he is taking a break to breathe 😂
That's crazy how you could cheese the game like that. Now I got to try it one day lol
that was wild
Sorcerer+ tempest cleric? Nice!
cheesy but still a beast for doing this no gear + honor mode
Possibilities are endless
Correct me if I´m wrong, but I guess you´re using a multiclass of level 10 storm/draconic sorecerer and level 2 tempest cleric, so, my question is, how did you get the 6th level spellslot if the sorcerer gets it at level 11? Or is there something I´m missing?
Spell slots are calculated by adding total caster levels. Sorcerer 10 and Cleric 2 are still equal to a level 12 caster in spell slots.
i made shadowheart utilty bot multi class hell, currently 2 bard, 1 wizard, 7 cleric, i have 6th lvl slots but only know up to 4th lvl spells, outside of some wizard cheese.
yeah he showed it at the end of the video
nicely done, just for pure information how many times u ctrl+del on the zaithisk to get the awakened? :D
haha :D 0 actually, I just respecced into wizard and put all my stats into INT and WIS and with my inspiration points I was able to get past the checks in one go. :)
@@SleepingDog. next time respec into one level of barbarian and put everything into constituion. you get the option to make the hardest check with advantage as barbarian because it is constitution. also don't forget to bring two party members, one to cast Bless and one to cast resistance. use guidance and now you're good :)
Shield from the Harper quartermaster in act 2 can give you infinite sorcery points so all of these spells could be level 6
Cool strategy. Cheesy, but effective.
In games there's always that one guy who walks around naked and destroys everything
Lol this looked like so much fun
Well done
It took me 5 tries to beat it on Balanced with a full team.
Baldur's calling and said you can have his gate
What in the lampoon malarkey did i just watch
I did expect no gear.
I was so overpowered coming in to this fight the first time. Impressed you solo’d him. I had a full team at level 12 each with summons. A deva, an Angel, 4 ghouls, and an elemental
I remember I was playing gale as a summoner and my main as a necromancer, I had I think 9 or 10 ghouls, a mummy, 2 of the upgraded elementals, a devil, a jeannie, scratch, 2 little familiars and 4 of the ice guys. Shit was crazy
On my first run I did it as level 10 or 11. it was the most defying fight of the game for me but not impossible. Hope is a powerhouse, sadly I couldnt save her :(
@@voodoo6245 sorry man. That’s the stuff that can make the games story better though
@@AuroraBlue01 all good, i could have cheesed these things in my run by loading to a previous state but that would ruin my conception of the game which is playing it as a D&D campaign. I lost Jaheira (and Minsc in consequence) in the 2nd act fight too, sad but it happened and I kept my mindset towards not loading to change things hehe, its such an awesome game. One of the best or the best one I've ever played, i just started my second run and having a total blast, +120hours in a few weeks!
@@voodoo6245 awesome keep at it. I can’t wait to do a second play through. First one I did reload a lot to craft the story that I wanted and get the ending I wanted. Any future games I’m going with whatever happens good or bad
Op😶
Wait holup how do you have partial ceremorphosis but look normal (no black veins) from what i can see?
It's because I used the Hide Half Illithid Visuals mod, which removes all visual effects from partial ceremorphosis. - www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/5088
Wait ive never seen the haalap dialogue before do you actually have to take their deal?
More or less. You need to sleep with Haarlep and then when he is trying to consume your soul you surrender your body to him instead. He will accept this and then tell you how to steal the Orphic Hammer and that Raphael is bad in bed, if you ask him about that.
Awesome run! I am following it every step. Will you try to defeat Ansur in solo?
Not in this particular run.
😱😱😱
What is the build you have that gives you multiple attacks for a sorcerer?
It's just the speed potions and the blood elixir that give me the extra attacks/action points.
Why did raphael not heal to full in between fights like at 6:20? In my game NPCs always heal to full if I leave a fight with invis potion.
I don't know why, I just noticed that some bosses in Honor Mode don't heal up in between combat. It's probably just a bug that will be fixed in the next patch.
I completed honour mode a week ago and I abused this mostly, I noticed this happened with every boss except the legendary action owlbear mate which still had its regen. You can basically complete honour mode with a pact imp with the same principles applied in the video 🤣
@@jap5170 Well with that it sounds just like abusing another bug to me instead of a clever use of mechanics to win fights.
@@jensenmcjens4029 You can think what you want, but in some cases this rule didn't apply. Orin is another example where the healing mechanism doesn't bug and I killed her fair same with the final fight. Say what you want but I got my completion by doing some fights and I 1 manned every fight too, so there is also that.
@@jap5170 I also finished the game solo by resetting fights through invis (on tactician when honour was not out yet), but I had to struggle a lot through it as then invis resets triggered self heals if you didn't reinitiate the fight right away. You can prevent them from healing without using a bug. Just attack as soon as the fight ended. When you have higher ini and can surprise your enemy, you get two free rounds of dmg each individual fight.
damn thats some good cheese
for anyone wondering why 5e only lets you cast one leveled spell a turn..... this....this is why
Nice build ! But I cant understand how you get that 3rd action ...
It's from the blood elixir, which gives me a 3rd action point whenever I kill someone, once per turn.
I also casted minor illusion but nobody bothers checking the cat out. They just stand there as if nothing were there.
Sometimes you need to cast it multiple times for them to react.
Naked Shadowheart casually -gigachadding- terachadding on Raphael
everyone getting to end game in solo honor mode, i cant get past the first part of act 1
Ooh Tempest Storm Sorc.
Yes though, if I could go back in time I would choose the Open Hand Monk over the Tempest Storm Sorc, since Raphael doesn't have Legendary Resistance. Using the Aoe scrolls to kill all of Rapheal's goons and then perma stun him. Might even be able to take him down in one go like this, if I have good rolls.
Obviously using hacks because Shadowheart is hitting. 😉
Shit already exposed. 😟
Why tf he is not healing when battle left
People like you are the reason they made honour mode impossible for normal people.
Heh, it's still really not that hard with conventional tactics. Larian didn't balance honour mode around cheese or it would be much harder.
@ My wife and I are on like our 15 run and it looks like we may finally make it our of act 1 . . . by constantly leaving the fourth person in camp to revive wipes.
@@KrazzyKlown use cc my dude. i've played through balanced mode twice, and im on my first honor mode playthrough, almost out of act 2. if you can't kill it before it can kill you, stop it from being able to kill you.
I beat honour mode as my first playthrough with this game though (without any DnD knowledge ofc because this is the first kind of this game that I played), erm... just cost plenty of times using alt+F4 method lol
Ah, completely forgot you can get illithid powers, lol.
im curious how you afford all of the equipment/scrolls gold wise?
I just buy everything from a vendor I want then use astarion to pickpocket back the gold
what if you roll a 1 thhough?@@speedspeedy2615
Without any gear I have a lot more money than usual to my disposal. And stealing is of course also always an option.
you can split the vendor’s money into smaller portions, and the dc to steal 50-100 gold is somewhere around -1, -2 (with bonuses applied) for a good thief.
@@felleg4737see i tried that and it wouldn't give me the option to split from the pickpocket menu. Am I missing something..?
It’s ironic, considering the name “honor” mode. At this point you could use the atom bomb + 20 barrels, and it would be probably cheaper
What sorcery is this? Literally?
420th like, lets go
I did quest to get some gauntlets, i didn't know i was walking into the hardest boss fight in the game
but why? can't you just hide in darkness?
Not if you can believe the last changes of Larian's patch. There they say that enemies will now walk inside the darkness to attack you instead of skipping their turn.
I dont think Rapheal can do melee. @@SleepingDog.
@@stefenleung He can, with his fists. Raphael is not he big problem though, but rather the Eternal Debtor who will run up to you and then self explode, which then also can break your concentration for the darkness spell.
Nice trick with kitty at the beginning, but cheat-sneaking after... In fair fight you will lose bro.
i win he very easy.
confusion + imobilize monster its very broken
this game needs more enemies with See invisibility like bg1 and 2 and maybe a real-time combat mode cuz as of now it is too cheesy
Mizora not have any word about raphael's death. Dissappointed.
Way to complicated, you can kill him in one turn
this kinds of videos are nonsense to me .. i mean yeah it can be "impressive" for somes .. but just going invi, leaving the fight to come back and doing it x time till you finish it .. at this point just put all the explosive powder barrels + the dwarf bombs you get in act 1 and 3 and that's it you one turn any bosses ..
The alternative without cheese is just having enemies miss every attack while you crit every time, achieved over hundreds of separate attempts. This isn't tabletop with an actual human DM allowing you to come up with creative solutions to every problem.
Meh. No point in doing it Honor no Gear mode if you are gonna cheese him like that. The mobbing with the invis was cool in the beginning, but then basically you are just exploiting the game, with absolutely no mechanical ability needed like in speed runs for example. I thought there was some skill involved here.
