Dude imagine being a literal god, you get summoned to avenge your chosen avatar, have this bad ass speech, and then they just start rummaging in their bags for a few minutes.
I KNOW RIGHT HAHA! I just wanted to use multiple misty steps w/o using much spell slots (shoes and gith passive) only using my real misty steps for emergencies
Anyone still struggling to fight him normal no cheesing here’s my tips Go invisible before the fight realease nightsong Beat ketheric thorm as you would unless you make him kys Then use blinding on Merkul makes him into a giant baby Darkness works but sometimes it messes with nightsong, so I would darkness arrows to keep him blinded . Then use column of fire or wall of fire I forget what it’s called and just make a line through him to start cooking him alive then hit him as hard as you can with spells and melee easy mode in my experience
This a great video, I didn’t kill him all the way cuz I didn’t have as much bombs and stuff as you but I got him down to like 27 hp then finished him off.
Status on PC Normal Mode, May ´24: It works, but in a limited way. I placed two bags of three explosives each right next to each other, and got a neat explosion - reduced Myrkul by 30 %. BUT there were still three explosives lying around afterwards. They just straight up didn’t trigger, despite lying within a meter of each other. Two smokepowder bombs from one bag, and one vial of fire from the other exploded. Stack up Gale‘s Constitution save bonuses, and cast a 4th Lvl Cloud of Daggers, and any AoE spells you have lying about. I had a Cloudkill on hand, and Myrkul died on his own turn - which is the best kind of victory. It still took several turns to take him down, but it was a whole lot easier. Except for Astarion, who got Moonbeamed by a dominated Aylin. Oh, well…
Alternative would be to use Astarion as a Monk and make sure to max his DEX and make him drink the elixir of Giant Strength (make sure he also has the happy buff) make sure to keep him alive by focusing all your support on Astarion, the rest can deal with the other enemies. Astarion can probably take him down in a few turns with minimal effort.
Lmao I beat him on tactician for the first time yesterday, bringing all my spells, best gear, buffed up, elemental buddies summoned and it was tough as hell so I thought okay lets see how other people did it. I feel like an idiot now xD
I haven't tried in current patch Honor mode yet, but people say it got nerfed already so I'm not sure I can give a correct answer w/o actually trying it out first sorry
This was the tactician hp WAY back when the game first released, please read the patch notes first! But yes, thinking of taking down the video tomorrow since this things way too outdated and if I heard correctly they nerfed the bomb strats
@@LordOfGrabs Btw, I tried it on PC yesterday (normal gamemode) and three explosives worked fine. Reduced him by a third of his hitpoints. I topped him up with Cloukill (scroll) and Cloud of Daggers (4th lvl), and this time I lived. 👍 So, this still works as a how-to. ;) Astarion didn’t, though, because Aylin got herself dominated by the mindflayer, which is just embarrassing for her. Moonbeam is fantastic, unless it’s directed at my characters… 😂
@@ArDeeMee I'm gonna test it again I'm currently doing a Honor Mode run, if it doesn't work.. Well I still have my unga bunga tavern brawler monk to destroy this guy LOL
What are you talking about..? Saving Dame Aylin was before Apostle of Myrkul during the fight with Kemeric.. After you save Dame and fight Kemeric Thorn THEN the new boss fight will start which is this one (the video)
WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!

Bro just did a classic terrorist strat
Best and most helpful video I’ve found on BG3. He was kicking my ass until I saw this and blew him up in one go. Love ya.
what all was used? how did he get that many actions at once? smoke powder satchel, break it, then what between that and fire arrow?
I didn't see. Satchel, filled it with egg sacs, broke the backpack so they all stacked, then burnt them
Myrkul: "I AM DEATH"
Astarion: *cast IED"
Why is laezel a wizard??? This feels incredibly cursed
I KNOW RIGHT HAHA! I just wanted to use multiple misty steps w/o using much spell slots (shoes and gith passive) only using my real misty steps for emergencies
I said the same thing that's funny
Just did this, used every explosive I had just in case because there's no kill like overkill.
Worked great, thanks!
I'd like to order one boss fight with extra cheese, please.
Oh, so you can do a satchel charge.
I was suffering from this bastard, I used the same method as in the video and I killed it easily, thank you
So when you go to an airport with a bag full of explosives, you are just making a Baldurs Gate 3 reference?
Anyone still struggling to fight him normal no cheesing here’s my tips
Go invisible before the fight realease nightsong
Beat ketheric thorm as you would unless you make him kys
Then use blinding on Merkul makes him into a giant baby

him to start cooking him alive then hit him as hard as you can with spells and melee easy mode in my experience
I‘ll try that. If it doesn’t work, he gets blown up. =P
Worked, thanks for the AoE tip!
4 level 8 characters, plus a demon tank summoned by Wyll and this dude killed them all after one round....
I saw these party members at about where my party is on balanced and was wondering how you were going to pull this off - then I saw that backpack
Almost a year but: *I LOVEYOU SO FKING MUCH!!!*
This a great video, I didn’t kill him all the way cuz I didn’t have as much bombs and stuff as you but I got him down to like 27 hp then finished him off.
Why does my myrkuk have 390 health I feel fucking crazy
same
he has been buffed

Oh no, I don't think I have a backpack but I will try it, thank you
Can just hold all the bombs in your inventory and drop them in front of the boss, it's gonna be abit scattered tho..
@@LordOfGrabs Omg it worked with à backpack and it saved me ! Thanks ! 🥹
this was patched. you can only do a certain amount of damage per turn now :(
Seriously? Aw man... i guess we still have monk to easily beat this guy
YOU CAN DROP AND ATTACK YOUR BACKPACK WHAT!
Will it work if I kill Isobel and the Song of the Night, now in 2024?
Yep! In fact it'll just make phase 1 fight easier (if you don't do the dialogue check)
big brains bro
YOU ROCK! THANK YOU!
Thanks this is helpful on ps5
i dont have Gale in my party or the Nightsong or any bombs. How else can he be defeated?

Oh shit!!!!
Where do i get or who sells the items i need for this?
297 on tactician mode? Mine has 390
Will this still work? I'm about to get to myrkul for the first time on honor mode
I haven't tried in current patch Honor mode yet, but people say it got nerfed already so I'm not sure I can give a correct answer w/o actually trying it out first sorry
I mean is that even a cheese ?
Smoked cheese.
Aloha Snackbar
297 HP is not Tactician mode, on Tactician he have 390 HP
This was the tactician hp WAY back when the game first released, please read the patch notes first!
But yes, thinking of taking down the video tomorrow since this things way too outdated and if I heard correctly they nerfed the bomb strats
You could just put (pre patch 6) in the title. That way you can keep showing off a hilarious cheese. =)
@@ArDeeMee oh true I didn't think of that LOL gonna change it now

Does not work at this point.
Sadness, I heard somebody mention it doesn't work anymore, what did they change?
Is this still possible?
nope
lmao
So you not going to explain how you did it? I don’t know what you plant on the ground .
bombs bombs bombs all the literal bombs I found haha even the non damaging ones
@@LordOfGrabslmao like it wasn’t obvious 😂 if only you could’ve saved the rune powder keg
His HP too low for it being tactician
My guy, this video was recorded pre-patch day before they buffed the guy I think he has 340hp at tactician now and 245hp on balanced
Nope it's not in one turn cuz you had to save the lady before, lier.
What are you talking about..? Saving Dame Aylin was before Apostle of Myrkul during the fight with Kemeric..
After you save Dame and fight Kemeric Thorn THEN the new boss fight will start which is this one (the video)
@@LordOfGrabs well maybe because you have ton unchain here in the fight + kill the little brains and the mindflayer :p
@enricawilcraft2769 you are definitely not understanding
