I think the funniest part of this run for me is that Duke Eltan is satisfied with your "investigation" of the Iron Throne building, even though you were only in there for about 2 seconds. A thorough investigation indeed. Good shit 👏👏👏
you dare question me mortal?
I played BG for years, even though I never watched any playthrough before and I didn't even have an internet connection when I started decades ago. I had NO idea about that gem and the Wizardry ring in the bushes under the Friendly Arm Inn. I was litterally shocked. I had to start a new run on the EE just to see if they are still there... and YES, they are. I feel 11 again.
Wow I can't believe you never knew about the ring of wizardry. I remember when i was 11 and I first found it online. You should really look into the modding community. They have done so much improvements in the game. I'm having a blast playing scs, insane, hard-core no reload. I'm feeling young again playing it as well.
That ring is a god given awesome stuff. There are some more great hidden stuff around. I have reinstalled the games and have been playing I feel the same way (I knew some of the hidden stuff back then thou.)
@@brucechamberlin2545 You must be a follower of Davaeorn then :P
I found some 20 years ago when i played and about 5 years ago i played both EE, it was funny how i still remembered a lot of stuff from 2000, i still have my exported original character, maxed stats .. so much work in it. Today its easy, just edit it. I even learned how to edit in HEX just because of this game and walked around with moonblade and sometimes Horror's fire sword cuz i liked the animation in BG1 .. shame EE removed this effect.
Well, there is also a; Star saphire, some scrolls (clud kill?) and Angheg's Armor hidden in similar places.
I always loved how, in the original, Gorion hits Sarevok with an acid arrow, causing him to go "HEH!" after Gorion dies due to the damage tick.
The Legend of JJIH. Imagine roleplaying this run. A Speedmage grows up under the tutelage of Gorion, waiting for the day he can show what he can do. Gorion is killed and JJIH the Destroyer flips shit and proceeds to solo rape the world at breakneck speed.
When your bhaalspawn instinct takes over
actually a speedrun is pretty much roleplay in baldurs gate 1. though the specific character is unplayable. but speedrunning the game in itself is how the story intends you to play it^^
Int 18 Wis 3 demigod. Could RP it as a superpowered aspergic deciding he's had enough and making the Forgotten Realms his bitch because that's how he decided his life should be. Kinda terrifying in that context.
Int 18 wis 3 is like having a brain of a scientist and decision making skills of a moth
The invisible mage.. Ohh, death will come silent and deadly as the night. Those lucky to be still alive just say.. "youll never see JJIH coming.."
Omg, the resolution, the loading screen pictures, kivans voice...what a great game. Takes me back.
I'm 32. Still my favorite game.
43, me too :)
36 here .My comfort game since high school. Feels great every time i go back to those adventures :) it's like watching your favorite series and meeting your beloved heroes.
@@Endru85x Playing the PS1 version for the first time on my mini. Doesn't have all the awesome music of the PC but still very cool. Feels like the closest to a 2d Elder Scrolls.
@@Freshbrood Well, good luck with playing then.
This and Heroes 3 are still my main go too games
I used to think I was sweet at this game cuz I’d kill a flaming fist dude and take his armor in the beginning
Found out that if you kill a few more in the next town they kill you
Man that was awesome, you definitely mastered this game hard core! I laughed a lot when u miss some seconds due to AI walks and NPCs bumping each other.
the thumbs down are from the narrator "You must gather your party before venturing fourth"
I really never understood why the hell did they change the cutscene videos. They were superp compared to BG EE. Even better than most 3d shit nowdays is displayed. Someone really dropped the ball there
Yeah... That is the main thing I dislike about EE. I don't know why they went with that 2d flash animation kind of vibe
@@Misa_Susaki Indeed, makes no sense.
Nerds: *biding their time*
Beamdog: "Let's downgrade the artistic integrity of the most epic RPG franchise ever!"
They probably had to redo it because they werent wide screen
I wonder if it had to do with resolution. Original game was what? 640x480, maybe 800x600? Displaying the cutscenes that were in that resolution on modern full HD monitors might look pretty bad.
You know, Bhaal had a score of mortal progeny. A score is 20. Bhaal had 20 children according to the prophecy. The end video shows him with more than 20. The prophecy was wrong.
So sayeth the wise Alondo
Thats because many or them were destroyed so badly that it counted for multiple deaths for the same person.
I stand ready.
Yes?
Not a problem.
It will be done.
With ease.
Hmmm?
It will be done.
I am not well at all...
I will require rest soon
I need to be more productive with my time
STOP TOUCHING ME
Holy crap, you made yourself invulnerable to all the temple traps, lured Sarevok into range and repeatedly tripped them to kill him while invisible. That is absolute genius.
Can someone explain me how he made these traps hit Sarevok? I don't understand this
@@zihlu5481 Those traps do damage to everyone in area of effect, whether they personally tripped the traps or not. I remember Sarevok being quite magic resistant, but that's percentage based so some hits still get through. The globe spell makes the main character immune to those traps entirely.
@@ngreennz oooh, thanks for anserw bro, thats pretty lit how he fooled main boss
lmfao that final battle, I just imagine the hero staring Saverok in the eyes while tapping his feet on the traps, holding his breath and crossing his arms
There seems to be weird stuff going on in this run. He doesn't mention what difficulty setting he's playing on but I'm pretty sure "Hardcore" was to imply the highest difficulty setting. But attempting this myself this route is very difficult and would require the most massive luck possible, especially in higher difficulty settings. This leads me to believe this is either segmented or he's messing with something in the game using a tool. He definitely can't be playing on Max Difficulty. Here's some problems:
1. Larloch's Minor drain is supposed to do 4 damage. It only does 1 damage
2. Montaron and Xzar get about 10 hits, all of them missing. One hit kills you.
3. He gets 3 encounters in the entire game, none of them shooters. Bandits going to High Hedge is instant reset. He travels a days worth several times without any encounter. Very unlikely.
4. He's walking over traps that are supposed to go off in Nashkel Mines and Cloakwood Mines. In Cloakwood Mines he walks right over the trap that spawns Battle Horrors yet no Battle Horrors spawn.
5. At 27:38 he travels from Cloakwood Mines to Bandit Camp, but no time passes. Its supposed to be a 76 hour trip.
6. He gets both Otiluke's Spheres off on the first try without either making any save. This is certainly possible but the fact he only bought 2 scrolls indicates he was confident enough that both would go off on the first spell that he didn't even buy any backup.
7. In the final battle, you can see him detonating the traps in the center but hes not actually moving. You're supposed to walk over the traps, they can't go off by themselves. At the very least this is a glitch which makes this glitchless run invalid.
EDIT: So it turns out for whatever reason Larswood doesn't have any travel time and this transfers over to bandit camp. This run still obviously is running on normal difficulty and based on the very favorable RNG and observations of likely splicing this is probably still a segmented run thats definately mislabled as "Hardcore", but its not using hacks like I thought it was.
1) 2:48 larlocks does 2 first, then 1, definitely modded. It's 4 dmg without a save chance. No point watching the run beyond that but I will
2) probably not 'real hits' it looks like they are hitting but montaron only gets 1 attack every 5 secs at level 1, has 19 thaco and 18 dex mage = 6ac so monti has to roll a 13 (35%) chance, same with imoen. I only see 4 real montaron attacks the rest is just stupid animations. Easily plausible with that bad hit chance.
3) Depends how many travels were made, could be luck.
4) 13:48 first trap goes off, uses image to help resist. 14:14 no idea what he's doing there, you can just click the exit without traps going off but it's luck based. Maybe he ran over first trap to see if it went off (if it did he would heal) then do the next two. can literally run through all three if you dont waste movement it's luck based though. Even the trap earlier can be ignored or even hit you twice i've seen before. As for the cloakwood mine battle horror trap, he drinks oil potion + equips speed boots (doubles effect) after the party fight, that makes traps even less likely to go off, I believe only one of the three traps i battle horror? and the other two are skull trap, the speed probably ignores the battle horror check.
22:48 Wonder what you do if drasus resists that save vs breath -1 ? probably leave and come back.
5) HACKS. Also extreme luck to not get an encounter but possible.
6) go and get an editor and look at their save vs spell. He just got lucky yes. Mental not to buy a third scroll when you have 3000 spare gold :P
7) Lol hacked room? no idea what the hell is going on.
8) a bonus one! 40:36 you can summon 2 minions +polymorph self into a slime to get over that wall by the ladder and save yourself a minute, i wouldn't say it's a glitch others would.
Pretty sure he used to follow my channel back in the baldur's days , was asking for advice on a solo glitchless run too if it's the same guy I remember.
This is why speedrunning is just retarded, you can't know half of whether it's hacked or not because he doesn't stream. If you saw me do ducal palace 15 times in one day and i only ever bought two otiluke scrolls every run and they always went off and never failed you would know i'm hacking but we don't get this information just a random video there ya go
@Daniel Bunting Reloading has actually been encouraged in speedruns (most notably on speeddemosarchive) for "segmented" speedruns, at least before RTA became more popular. Granted if you're segging your speedrun you should ensure most of the easily manipulable RNG is taken care of, and most certainly not _lie_ about being a gaming prodigy completing unrealistic runs in a single sitting or something of the sort.
My point being, if he didn't also mod the game, he should have just been honest. The primary entertainment factor is watching the shortest path to victory in these role-playing time sinks, not imagining the player sweating their nutsack off trying to be a hypercompetitive gamer.
@Daniel Bunting -Yeah,- -I- -realize.- -He- -definitely- -cheated- -and- -lied- -to- -everyone,- //Edit: retracting this comment because of realizing it isn't so obvious upon closer inspection
@Daniel Bunting You are right about the difficulty, but your accusation regarding the reloading doesn't seem to correspond with any evidence. Reloading clears the combat log, and the instance where it supposedly happened in your other comment at 27:38 should have a blank combat log. The mouse jumping also doesn't prove the aforementioned as you can simply move the cursor during the loading screen without it showing - hence the jump effect.
Edit: That said, I have no explanation for the missing message indicating passage of time so that part remains suspect. I know that traveling from Nashkel to Carnival would behave like that, however those two locations are similar to travel within Baldur's Gate's borders so they can't be compared.
@@d07a I found no evidence of his game being modded in any obvious ways. Fixxxer was incorrect in claiming you have to walk over the traps in Sarevok's temple, it's a specific spot that is fairly consistently reproducible in the non-enhanced version - tested it myself. You claim there's a need for more than two Otiluke's scrolls, but when I tried casting them on those neutral NPCs a good dozen times, none of the attempts failed so version differences could be at play there depending what you were speedrunning on.
i just realised how much harder inventory management is solo without a scroll case or potion box :/
I was just imagining charname running around being like:
« Sorry, sorry, excuse me, sorry, I’m in a hurry, sorry.. »
very educational, I didn't realize wand of frost and charm person are that good. guess I kind of steered away from wand of frost because I heard it can sometimes destroy loot, but as a solo wizard that doesn't matter much anyway. never realized it can destroy mulahey in 2 casts.
Yes, it does destroy. Any petrifaction or frost spell do so, but... when it comes to control and damage, cold is a very good element, better than fire in my opinion.
Breathe Sarevok, breathe, ahahaha
Also smart move making the dukes invulnerable lol
lol. actual useful application for Otiluke's Resilient Sphere. well done.
usually spend more time rolling for abilities than this run took.
Wow. This is epic!
One thing I've never been able to find is a totsc speedrun... Durglag's tower and werewolf island and all that :) But I guess it's pure torture lol
I confirm this would be torture :d esp Durlag...
Anw this game is supposed to be appreciated slowly :)
oh wow, did not see the last part coming, very inventive
i agree that`s just clever !!
freaking awesome. best 43 mins I have spent on youtube, lol
Yeesh what a waste of time. Watched on 2X speed.
sad
"I think i'm coughing up blood"
Impressive! To say the least! Gave me some good ideas.
grats, very well done
loved this game.
and this desperative battle with Slythe...
Perfect.
An Eastern European girl who loves Baldur's Gate?? Want to get coffee sometime?
That was awesome man!
I love how u used davoerns own guy to kill him. He was terrified the whole time lmao
Speedruns are always remarkable, although, they lose all of the charm, hehe.
I was trying to kill every enemy I encountered..
me too
That's how a true adventurer does it
Wow it was almost over at 36:45
When you're trying to do a no reload speedrun and a flesh golem just stands in the doorway ohmygod ru srs...MOVE
Very impressive!
I remember spending one week or more playing through the whole game. Silly me :D
Yeah well I spent almost 20 years until I finished this game :D When this game first came out I had no fucking idea what was going on and the game doesn't exactly hold your hand either :)
TzeiEm i did in only 10 years
@@TzeiEm I was playing with a mate we were like 11/12 yo, we had a 3classes garbage main char with 6 hp because we didn't know we were supposed to, you know, "lvl up", or "learn spells"... that was Xd
@@TzeiEm and google didnt exist in 1998.. well u should have read the book/manual that comes with the game when u bought it in 1998 and learn things from it what to do before u started playing the game
wow.... just wow!
Took me that long to make my character and go grab a beer
Wow, the Cloakwood mines are a bitch. Thank god for invisibility! Very clever in Tazok's tent, too. Neat!
Well done.
awesome!
what a performance !
that map movement at 7:25 o.O
you can ally with the bandits whaaat??
those splits seem so out of whack with this run, like they're super old or not from the same runner
so wands had infinite charges in the OG game? huh
A speed run of BG in hardcore mode, now that's hardcore.
damn this is good
poor Imoen :'( xD
Used and abused! 😂
@@degenesis21 Lucky gal then
*_"Ahh, we are all heroes, you and Boo and I, hamsters and rangers everywhere, rejoice!"_*
Can someone please try this with the prototype PS1 version? All 4 discs have been released but I can't figure out if it's completable. I'm not a completionist, just want to bypass game breaking bugs.
hey my man, quick question: is there a reason you are using the original version and not the enhanced one? AI differences or anything?
not the OP, but its probably because of how the pause system works in the old versus new versions of the game. going into your inventory pauses the game in the EE versions, while they do the opposite in the original BG1. so this lets him cross the map and manage his inventory, such as identifying magic items and arranging potions, without any kind of loss in time.
i dont know why they chose original instead of EE, but what Brendan says is basically "because its faster" and that would also be my guess. but EE and the original are 2 different games, so they have different WRs.
@Daniel Bunting Thanks for pointing out the cheats. I wonder what makes people do dishonest fake stuff like this and try to pass it off as genuine. He'd probably steal from his grandma.
@Daniel Bunting How could you see he cheated ?
Amazing!
impressive!
Impressive!
Played the game countless times. This method is so strange - seems alien. Watching this is like watching a human dissection.
I just finished the bg ee one not to long ago and what the fuck this game was supposed to have animated cutscenes? I never knew they scrapped this from the original
End game video is still epic
"Something terrible happened! The world may end!" JJIH: "brb in 1 hour"
Omg crazy how different it looks from EE
I love how it used to look for some reason
how did u skip iron throne? thats the part i dont understand
Xusticiero Only the info from either Thaldorn or the incriminating papers in the backroom are needed. Even then they might now to continue to story tbh. Seems like it used to be optional.
9:25 GOLEMS PLZ
Wife's been getting prickly on me arse.
hmmm, hmmm, i stand ready, yes!? , It will be done
How did you do all that damage to Sarevok?
Big Jon Cash The floor is loaded with traps that can’t be disarmed and will continually trigger, so he just kept setting them off to damage everyone. I think that ones a skull trap spell so you save for half damage? Either way he’s invulnerable because of the globe spell so awesome tactic.
Secret ! Oh thanks for the answer! Its genius haha
Secret ! That or two potions of magic resistance + baldur's cloak get it done too.
Wow! That was really impressive. Glad I finally got time to sit down and watch. Question though, what's up with your splits? For example, I saw you go into Baldur's Gate and do stuff, but there's no time in that split.
Just shopping not fulfilling quests.
Is it really faster to kill Montaron and Xzar than it is to talk to them or is it for xp?
It's a solo speedrun, so I guess having them join the party even for a moment is illegal. Charming Imoen at the start is presumably still within the rules.
Respect dude awesome speedrun - but you pay the price. Seems youve got some compulsion going on with that cursor. ;-)
Shout out to Mark "Sailor Moon is my bitch" Darrah 46:57. What a god.
Ah serve the flaming fist!
Alguien sabe como hacer funcionar esta versión en modo multijugador en LAN?
awesome
why is it so hard to find the original. i can't find a copy ANYWHERE
A buddy of mine still had the disks. Then he upgraded on Steam, so I had to for the online play. I have seen it at Half Price Books, but I bought Star Trek: Elite Force 2 instead. But, I did have the same problem with Skyrim. My laptop BARELY runs the original, and I couldn't find it. Eventually I took it from my son's Steam account, I forgot he had it since he's a PS4 guy now.
You could find it at GOG (gog.com), but now it's only found bundled with EE version.
It's double the price of the original, but you get the EE version and the original.
There you go: BG1: www.gog.com/game/baldurs_gate_enhanced_edition

I watch this video from time to time. 07/19/2021
isnt the credit music suppose to be a song with Tiax in the original?
Baldurs Gate is hands down the best game ever created. Wish there was an MMORPG version of it...
That would be AMAZING
There is. Its called Never Winter Nights and its trash unfortunately
Groundhog day in BG?
I love Frank Welker's version of Elminster. If there were a good LOTR game it'd be a modern version of this with the same style and it'd have to have Gandalf voiced by Welker.
gandalf, elminster... same thing
@@LMTR14 These are my 2 pseudos for gaming since ever :o)
But I prefer Olorin for Gandalf, it's more elitist :]
fu EE I want these good old epic loading screens back..
@@Isreal_666 I dislike the Enhanced Editions.
Cool.
Holy crap you are good
Superb
That active spell sound that Daveorn has at 25:51, is it possible to copy that to BG2?
Its protection from normal missiles sound from bg1. You could import it to bg2 and overwrite the one there. Should be a .wav
Why did you attack Xzar and Montaron? If you want their gear, surely it's quicker to recruit and dismiss them.
But then it's not a "solo" run as per the most strict definition of solo (no companions even for a short moment).
@@michalm86 Fair point
How is this possible?
now without invisibility and as a loyal good =p
A cd version would be the best. I’m not supporting digital versions of anything these days. I have a good library that suits me fine. But this game and a few others I am looking for
I'd love to see a Terminalmontage-style animation about this.
Why did you kill Xzar and Montaron, instead of take them in your party, take their stuff and fired them?
I
Because then it's not a "solo" run as per the most strict definition of solo (no companions even for a short moment).
Wasnt the reason of being jailed in candelkeep killing rieltar and his minions? why they put you in jail wo killing em?
Robyn Hawke Ic you dont kill them Sarevok does it and you get blamed for it. The battle can be avoided with ease. But of course: Most of the players will kill them to settle things with the iron throne once and for all
Koveras framed him for Rieltar demise.
chaotic neutral
Glitchless? Sarevok fight looked like a big glitch to me... Aren't traps only supposed to trigger once?
not in that final fight. they can trigger unlimited amount of times.
This is Madne..O_O !
what potion did you drink to get haste in the mines? didn't see you buy them at high hedge....
Believe he picked it off of Montaron at the beginning.
Oil of speed from Montaron
So how did you get the evidence against the Iron Throne for Duke Eltan? I don't get it
d m it is optional or at least it used to be
gg my son
Gorion- Death
Sarevok- HEH
"The d-"
Imoen: Heya! It's me, Imoen.
Classic literature.
How did he walk faster in the nashkel mines?
he drank the haste potion. number went from 2 to 1.
the only EVIL is STUPIDITY !! incredible swag in this run !! YOU TALKIN TO ME????
This isn't with SCS is it?
why didn't you play in 60 fps?
Wow
O_O joooder
I always thought how mages were super weak, always played warrior, even solo Drizzt but seeing you as mage how easy it was, the cloackwood battle and i just rushed in :)
What is the reason for killing Monty and Xsar at the start?
Most likely to get their potions, and to get Imoen’s items without wasting time talking to her.
@@cocomunga Honestly it seemed like a much bigger waste of time than it would be to simply invite them to party, strip them down, and kick them to the curb.
It was to keep it solo, also why he charmed imoen. If he didn't charm imoen he would run down to the next area to the south, rest, and then try to charm her again.
