  • Speedrun submission for SGDQ 2024.
    Run on Patch 6, Hotfix 22, which is a bit slower than previous patches (around 3 minutes), but is the current patch of the game.
    Commentary is a bit scuffed, was doing a lot of stuff but hopefully this is good enough!

    Heyo everyone!
    Sorry for the delay in the tutorials, was busy working on this for SGDQ 2024 submissions, but this should be a good enough explanation for the new glitchless route on Patch 6 for a bit.
    Will finish the other tutorials and stuff this upcoming week now that my workload has lightened a bit, so expect them to come this next week.
    If anyone has any questions feel free to comment down below to ask!

      No questions, just commenting to say it's fun watching your runs, and that I'm looking forward to the future tutorials! It's totally possible to follow your gameplay in these runs, but I really appreciate the more long form tutorial that explains not only the "what" and "when" but also the "how" and "why". Great work bud!

    I followed as closely as i could to do almost exactly what you did. somehow by the end of the run jaheira was seen by someone as i was trying to jump my way across to the brain stem. she died and i had already killed la'zeal so i attempted to spawn in a hierling from withers to be my sudo jaheira. they also died. so i snuck my mindflayered ass up to the stem my own way. scared to death i still used the mage hand/ invis trick as i climbed the brain. invis still worked. made my way to the portal. used levitate to go down to the brain. placed all my bombs/fireworks/a nautiloid barrel and an oil barrel. levitated back up. used fierce perilous stakes on myself. ended my turn and prayed. the brain dropped those orb things put up a shield and back to me. throw the firebomb at the rest of the bombs and Fkn KILLED EM!!!! Thank you for this video. was a lil tricky to follow. a slowed down version would be nice i bet for other people. other wise it all ended up working out, so thank you again Chronos!

    Then I wanted to beat it on Honour mode. And I did it.

  • @sholev
    @sholev 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Thank you for the guide. I was able to complete a run after about 30 attempts by following your steps. Aside from making silly mistakes, the major challenges were the githyanki versus emperor fight and the use of invisibility potions towards the end.
    If the githyanki fight extends beyond one turn and they cast hold on Jaheira, it usually ends badly. And at the end for some reason, throwing the potion doesn't always render the target invisible. It seems more reliable to break the potion with the arm next to the character instead of throwing it, although it could just be my luck.
    For this reason, I opted to stock up on two additional invisibility potions while purchasing bombs, allowing for two attempts with each character at the end. However, this lengthens the run as it requires accumulating more gold prior to the bomb shopping segment.

      How did you throw Orin off the cliff on ps5? No matter where I target at that edge of the platform as he shows, on ps5 it says “target too far” or “path interrupted”, it won’t let me find a spot that says “death” where I can actually toss oron off.

    • @voyager4495
      @voyager4495 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Also on ps5 for shars temple, I couldnt do the gap either BUT you only need 1 umbrel gem to use the lift to get down there, and you’re perfectly set up for the jumping trial. So I grabbed just one gem, took the lift down, then used “knock” to open the door (only a bit slower than jumping down the gap but faster than getting all the umbrel gems and safer)

      @@JTMynhardt the easiest way is to follow the guide and have shadowheart use command drop to make him drop the moon lantern, but for console just go ahead and have shadowheart pick up the lantern (this will cause a fight) and then open her inventory and send the moon lantern to your tav. The scene will start for the lantern with your tav and you can just let shadowheart die. After she dies, they will all leave and you can go rez her.
      It’s possible to also “throw” the moonlantern, which since you aren’t picking it up doesn’t aggro them, and throw it far away so they leave without it. I found that trickier to pull off before he picks it back up off the ground though, so honestly just let shadowheart take the fall.

    Casting mage hand then entering a cut-scene then switching to a dead companion to "unlock" the characters so you can then use the mage hands to throw potions to make them invisible mid-cut-scene? Also working as intended 😀

    Hey, thanks for the guide! Fairly easy to follow along even with console controls.
    If you're like me and wanted to save durge for a legit playthrough, you can't waltz into bhaal temple via birthright. Adds a couple steps but it's still very easy all things considered:
    Optional tip 1) recruit Gale, makes life easier later on. Just take small detours for 3 magic items or buy them later.
    Optional tip 2) rescue volo for pickpocket profit as necessary, takes two conversations and one illithid check if you need it
    3) head to shadow lands as normal, if you're on console command-drop the moon lantern with shadowheart, let her die in combat, resurrect her at camp
    4) head to waypoints and shar temple as normal
    5) buy bombs and be sure to get stacks right so they don't blow up in your hand, i had to figure out a way to blow them up in a backpack because i didn't do it right
    6) release nightsong to zombie man as normal, say bye to shart
    7) scale Moonrise to rooftop as this video demonstrates; subtle spell misty step out of trouble; defeat ketheric v1 and v2
    (This is where my run got a bit more complicated but with some wiki study i figured out a route to coincide back with this video's upon entering bhaal temple)
    8) follow the prism intermission setup i.e. Eldritch knight Jaheira empowered by enlarge, throw monks into the astral plane
    9) [im a bit hazy on order here but hopefully it doesn't matter] arrive in rivington, leap to 2nd floor of the bunkhouse across from wyrms crossing waypoint, find murder list, interrogate the mum's body to figure out Dolor is the killer.
    Optional 9a) id talk to gortash to make sure he is an ally prior to dealing with Orin. Honor is for slowpoke heroes, and my halfling Tav wants to go home
    10) head to lower city, leap to roof of elfsong tavern, go down the hatch to second floor, chat with investigator to trigger murder quest. {I did this before finding Dolor's secret room behind the wardrobe, but maybe it doesnt matter, the order}
    11) invisibly pickpocket the poem and the bag o' hands from Dolor as he plans his wine poison; escape detection and head back to basilisk gate
    12) break into tombstone shop, infiltrate murder tribunal, lie about being an edgelord, kill an innocent Hollyphant for the greater good and to maintain your double agency. Severok bequethes you the amulet of bhaal.
    13) head to sewers via manhole by Baldur's gate waypoint; open first door after orin reveals herself, sneak past ambush, leap to bhaal temple door and open it.
    14) enlarge 20 strength jaheira, turn invisible, throw orin to her doom, follow her temporarily until Withers can ctrl+z
    15) seal deal with pretty boy
    16) head to nether brain, try and fail to save Orpheus from illithidhood (i tried to tell them i had a wizard bomb, i tried to convince laezel vlaakkith wanted her bones, to no avail. If no emperor, someone becomes a squid i guess)
    15) leap invisibly to brainstem, and have gale take one for the team
    GG! I play quite slow so this took me two nights and 12ish hours of game time, more with my planning. But definitely a nice quick way to achievement compared to a legit painstaking honor run.

    Hi all, I manage to do it thanks to this tuto,
    Small tips if you want to try it,
    IF mind flayer doesn’t drop you the speed potion (it’s random) you can go to the small cave (below the place where you meet astarion) move a rock and you will find garantied 2 speed potions
    Hope it helps thank you

    • @voyager4495
      @voyager4495 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      What you can do instead, is complete just 1 of the trials (soft step is safest or you’re set up well for jump trial) because the platform that takes you down to that same area only needs 1 umbrel gem. So grab just 1, jump to that platform, take it down then use “knock” to open the door. A bit slower but not too bad since that Jump is almost impossible on console

    Maybe I'm missing a hidden mechanic, but how do ten 3d4+9 bombs do 400 damage? I've barrelmancer'd Myrky before, but I dropped something like 30 bombs, 8 barrels, and a dozen holy waters dropped by an invisible Astarion, who then set the entire mess off with a point blank fire bolt - and wasn't sure it would cut it.

  • @Jonas_Fox
    @Jonas_Fox หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    In case anyone is as dumb as me, DO NOT mix the first stack of bombs with the others. I know it was said they were bugged but I didn't know that meant to make distinct stacks to avoid the bugged ones. 💀

    • @Jonas_Fox
      @Jonas_Fox หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Okay, I figured out what I did wrong. I made the mistake of using the backpack swap trick to steal the bombs and other items. Somehow that process bugged all the bombs out. When I tried again following the video EXACTLY, everything worked as shown. Lesson learned. Hope my ADHD lesson helped someone. 🤭

    @chronos if you accidentally get into the dialogue with Raph in front of the gauntlet of shar entrance you can attack him to immediately end the dialogue and he'll just disappears. No ramifications for it. It'll save maybe half a second if you accidentally get into the dialogue.

    • @ChronosReturns
      @ChronosReturns  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      It's a small glitch that is allowed since it's a quality of life thing for speedrunners by animation canceling spell casts. When you start speedrunning it's pretty instinctive to do every time to save around half a second per spell cast, but apart from that it's very small. I could just not use it at all in the run as well if people want that, but per category rules it's allowed in no major glitches, which is a more accurate name I guess. My previous glitchless runs did not use it since I personally didn't want to use any glitches at all, but this is what the community decided upon.

    • @ChronosReturns
      @ChronosReturns  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For now, I believe that it's fine. Basically when the Moonlantern is taken away, the NPCs will leave no matter what after a certain amount of time. If we really want to count that as a glitch, there's a lot of alternatives that you can do that take longer but are effectively the same thing:
      - You can keep dragging the Moonlantern around so Karniss keeps failing to pick it up, and eventually he'll give up and leave.
      - You can pick it up, start combat and die with Shadowheart while everyone else stays back, then once the fight is over, revive Shadowheart and continue on like normal.

    Amazing video and details. Tried myself and got stuck at Ketheric boss fight. 1st was realising what you meant by the first set of bombs will explode in your hand, for those who don’t know, it will legit just explode in your face when you try to throw. 2nd attempt same place, but the bombs did very little damage, like around 1/3 of Ketheric’s health, any tips on this? Was my throwing position wrong?

    That skip for the elevator in the Temple of Shar to the Shadowfel avoided the glitch I ran into.

    i decided to do the first part of the the run to test something but forgot and ended up going past what i wanted and trying the full run however i didn't catch the part where chronos say the first set of bombs are bugged and proceed to mix all the bombs up until i was getting lvl3 with my tav and decided to check what spells i needed and realised i was fucked, hoping that the current fix would have solved the problem i kept going, threw the first set of bombs at ketheric, he died, threw second set of bombs at myrkull and it blew up in my hands lmao, i would've been more disappointed if the run wasn't doomed from the start since i wasn't planning on doing the full thing i didn't go durge(which i guess could have been solve with some glitchiing) and didn't have a second potion of speed for gith fight, time to try again :)
