Yeah I'm a big fan from other games, and wanted to see it in BG3. It was surprisingly difficult to learn how to set up for myself, and a lot of NPC's just didn't work for some reason. I probably did stuff wrong though. Raphael for some reason would never fight back when I tried loading him in
I think a issue is that some of these guys are only tough due to mechanics/arena or items. I might be wrong but it looked like Cazzador didn’t have his staff for instance.
Yeah, another example is serevok not getting his buffs from those red things who's names escape me dying- I've seen him solo Raphael, yurgir and his cambions in another video with those, team bhaal would have done so much better with that.
Was working on another video before this, but my footage had all got corrupted, and I felt like re-doing a challenge video entirely again would just ruin the feeling.

ohh that would be really cool, but I have no idea how to do that. The mod toolkit is surprisingly complicated, but it can allow you to do insane stuff.
@@ProxyGateTactician i think the pokeflask mod would allow you to do it pretty well! The only issue is how you would enable combat. Maybe having an actual enemy in a spot that it can't hurt anything to influence the fight, and just have the teams fight eachother instead of killing the stand-in enemy You would need an actual combat to be happening because otherwise some abilities wouldnt allow you yo activate them. Though, now that i think about it, the game wouldnt consider other creatures as enemies even in spite of this, so it wouldnt allow you to use certain abilities on them, so idk what im talking about i guess
Give us a round 2!!! I propose adding Viconia and co (team shar), thieves’ guild (nine fingers and co), and splitting the undead coalition into team thorm and team everybody else who’s undead or something. Team Thorm would be Ketheric, Isobel, Malus, Gerringothe, and the bartender guy I forgot his name (no additional summons). Team undead would then be Cazador, Balthazar (+ Flesh), and Mystic Carrion + some ghouls of varying types (though I think the reason why Cazador was so weak is bc his powers revolve around his ritual, so when removed from his arena, he’s just a regular vampire). I think team Bhaal was only so pathetic bc neither Orin nor Sarevok had access to the mechanics that make their fights hard. Similar to Cazador, Orin’s fight is hard bc of her arena giving her unstoppable stacks. Sarevok is hard bc of his 3 ghosts, but there was only one. I’d suggest removing the weaker cultists and at least giving Sarevok all his ghosts.
Nine Fingers is a monster. She throws knives like a revolver throws bullets. When I used an extra difficulty mod Sarevok was the only one that gave me a headache to defeat.

I hope I see more videos like these on TH-cam honestly. I love watching the Soulsborne ones (especially Elden Ring and DS3) because as much as it's just pitting the game's AI against itself sometimes the fights are really spectacular, especially when there's a lot of effects going on on screen! Seeing people say recreate the Placidusax vs Bayle fight that apparently happened in the game's lore is really cool
the final fight being between "damage sponge hit like tank" and "team action economy" is about to be expected, but im not surprised ansur took it in the end.
If it had been 49 beasts they would have lost rounds 1 & 2 rather than making it to the finals... If all the beasts were equal, anyway. But what are the odds of 2 consecutive rounds of only 1/50 surviving? Props to Proxy/Larion for the balancing and seeding I suppose.
Watching this video, I wonder if Larian may have tuned the AI of some of the NPCs for their specific fight... that may explain why a lot of the characters are acting wonky with their actions.
This was cool! I really hope you do a follow up! You could have the druids, the tieflings, the grove attackers, Auntie Ethel & crew, the duergar, and so on.
What happened to Raphael? Is there a problem with him due to the pillar mechanic of his fight? Cause with him team hell would definitely reach the final and has a good chance at winning that as well.
@@ProxyGateTactician Only guessing, but sounds like a scripting event and a missing trigger. Most enemies just fight by default, but those two have events that trigger their aggression. That trigger seems obvious in Raphael's case. In Ao Myrkul's case, maybe he's actually there hidden during your fight with Ketheric and you need to kill him and get the scene to trigger Ao Myrkul appearing and attacking.
I experience a lot of difficulty finding a lot of AI vs AI videos here on TH-cam, which also has to do with the fact that the recommendation section and search results of TH-cam have been awfull since the last 4 years. Luckily this is one of the visible channels, where I can experience having some fun with AI vs AI battles.
would you maybe be able to do a challenge of seeing if you can beat baldurs gate with as little dialogue as possible? it would be interesting to see how much you can skip, see if you still win and what (lack of) info you learn along the way , love your videos xx
@@ProxyGateTactician true enough, just as our character is literally mute it would be interesting to play into that even more. Thank you for the reply though💝
Hey I love these videos and your commentary so much, the challenges you’ve done have all been so funny and interesting to watch!! And they’ve shown me a new way to enjoy BG3 through new hints and tricks I’d never even thought about ☺️
This was awesome! I'd love more videos like this, especially if you can get honour mode actions to work for even more craziness. The Githyanki team could go really hard with how the Githyanki midbosses have been buffed.
I ran a trial of Gortash against 50 bears before doing anything just to test if my battles can work and he actually won solo vs 50 bears. So I figured he’s pretty competent.
I thought it would all be 1v1s when I clicked on the video and mumbled something about "Time to watch Ansur kick everyone's ass" - I was wrong, and yet I wasn't! Very fun video, love stuff like this!
Myrkul was the hardest one in my honor mode playthrough. I had to Alt-F4 my game 3 times before I got past him. Ansur was easy, because by then I had globe of invulnerability. Cheesy, I know. I tried to use it sparingly. I enjoyed the challenge of honor mode with the legendary actions. And I liked the single save, since it stopped me from save scumming dialogue checks. But I didn't want to lose 60+ hours of gameplay by dying. I also cheesed the fight with Raphael by setting up stacks of explosives next to the soul pillars when I first got there. That way I could take them out quick at the start of the battle and just fight Raphael normally.
Thanks for the correction! I love that more people commented on this than myself calling the Bulette a beast lol. I thought for sure everyone would mention that it isn't one, but not 1 yet.
@@ProxyGateTactician I guess it's because people are used to it being a beast. It was a magical beast in 3e and a natural beast in 4e and even some of the official 5e material refers to it as a beast though the Monster Manual and BG3 list it as a monstrosity.
I would suggest making it in a "league" tournament instead of a "play-off". I mean, you pick several opponents (4/6/8/whatever) and let them play one against each other. Because it can be that Yurgir lost to managery, but would win the dragon. With the "league" approach you could avoid this "unfairness of the draw" by making a table, giving 2 points for every victory, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss. It would be more interesting and fair
@@ProxyGateTactician Is it possible you loaded in an instance of raphael that's not coded to fight? Like the versions you see around the map who dissapear when attacked?
@@Archmage_Marmu It's possible, but I couldn't find one that did fight. Gortash for example I had to try 5 different guys before I found the right one lol
Raphael is resistant to lightning damage and physical damage which is pretty much all Ansur can do. Ansur on the other hand is not resistant to fire damage. However I still doubt that Raphael could kill him because eventually Ansur would do that monstrous attack that annihilates anyone in its range, plus Raphael has a limited amount of fire spells.
Yep that end result sounds about right. I encountered Ansur the Brozen Dragon on a legendary extremely modded (123 new different mods) pure hero Tav playthrough and was surprised at how powerful he is. I suppose Larian took it literally when I learned Dragons are some of the most powerful encounters in all D&D beyond BG3.
Ansur and Cazzador are the only enemys i didnt fight when doing my honor mode run, simply because if the AI goes all out, you are in for a hell of a beating ^^
This makes me feel kinda happy that the closest fight to end my HM was Ansur, literally down to my Tav standing with 1 hp , saved by Death Ward, taking down the 1 hp Ansur who was also saved the previous turn by his legendary action. It's kinda funny to thing about how in the end, after all the gimmicks and special effects, the strongest thing is a big beefy target immune to several CCs , with big aoes.
Oooooh it would be cool to see Raphael and his ascended form in a scenario like this! Like I'd imagine especially without the cooldown, he'd be insane!
You should do a follow-up where you have the teams that are not designed around a specific arena or objects (beasts, ansur, illithids etc.) invade the ones that do (Cazador, Raphael, Gortash etc.) on their hometurf to see who comes out on top
I think part of why Gortash's AI struggled so much is that it is built to fight you in a very specific environment with all of the traps dealing extra damage and his supporting units to tank for him.
i dont think gortash was given enough allies. his entire gimmick is that he throws the overcharge grenades onto his steel watch during his fight to give them extra actions. as well as fighting you on unfair terrain with all of this traps.
i like how the beasts have only one left after every battle but honestly even if they got ansur down i think his last-ditch breath attack would kill them
oh this was pretty cool! It's funny what Ansur won cuz he was a joke in my playthrough but I'm pretty sure 50 beasts would action economy the shit out of me
Would be cool to see how team Aylin does with her 3 angel friends. By far the hardest fight of the game in my experience, wouldn't be surprised if they handily wreck everybody else here.
Ansur deserved that, one of the few bosses that you actually have to properly pre-game and think about tactics unless you have some super cheesy min-max build.

You should do a follow-up where you have the teams that are not designed around a specific arena or objects (beasts, ansur, illithids etc.) invade the ones that do (Cazador, Raphael, Gortash etc.) on their hometurf to see who comes out on top
I always wanted to see fights like this, just like from fromsoft games. Specifically I'm curious about Grym vs Steelwatchers
In my campaign with volo's eye, Yuigir managed to pass the invisibility check, 6 times in a row. The fight was hell
I have an irrational love of videos like this
Disney Princesses!!!!!!! - we don’t forget. 😂 (Also: “a heroic ox saved the day” is my favorite line.)
Shoutout to the auto generated chapters for “Balls Cultists”
The beasts using the power of raw Action economy
Dyslexia: Gortash Vs 50 Breasts
I mean....still checks out with this game
I love this! Ansur Vs Titan would be epic!
Beasts really showing how strong the action economy game is in the 5e ruleset. More attacks = more good.
I think part of why Gortash's AI struggled so much is that it is built to fight you in a very specific environment with all of the traps dealing extra damage and his supporting units to tank for him.
A new video, finally!
"Cazador was a big weirdo, biting people" --Volo, 1492
Love the Divinity music - perfect choice
i dont think gortash was given enough allies.
his entire gimmick is that he throws the overcharge grenades onto his steel watch during his fight to give them extra actions. as well as fighting you on unfair terrain with all of this traps.
i like how the beasts have only one left after every battle but honestly even if they got ansur down i think his last-ditch breath attack would kill them
oh this was pretty cool! It's funny what Ansur won cuz he was a joke in my playthrough but I'm pretty sure 50 beasts would action economy the shit out of me
Would be cool to see how team Aylin does with her 3 angel friends. By far the hardest fight of the game in my experience, wouldn't be surprised if they handily wreck everybody else here.
Ansur deserved that, one of the few bosses that you actually have to properly pre-game and think about tactics unless you have some super cheesy min-max build.
