      Calm Emotions is freaking clutch in Honour Mode. Never used it before, now I had it save my ass multiple times already. Beyond making the harpy figt trivial, a single Calm Emotions (which has a good AoE and range) removes the Gnoll's Frenzy, so that they will never get their multi-attack. Also removes rage from enemy barbarians (though that's not as important in my experience)
      The 2nd spell I can't believe I never used before is Enhanced Ability. I have it on my bard and Shadowheart, meaning just like that I can get advantage in every ability I need (mostly charisma), and can keep up to two active for a whole day! Yes, it requires concentration, but one spell slot is well worth suceeding important checks. Especially since the Friends cantrip is dangerous in Honour Mode, as it can aggro npcs, get you imprisoned and frop reputation. Had to restart a whole run because Friends wore off on Kagha after I saved Arabella, which immediately made her activate the Rite of Thorns and Tiefling purge. Never used Friends ever since. :P

  • @pancakes4193
    @pancakes4193 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +44

    WOW. Easily one of the best information guides to cruising through Act 1. Even the flow of progression you gave clearly has a lot of thought put into it, particularly the Myconid Colony up to the Creche part.
    MASSIVE thanks for the Hag tips too. I've always hated not being able to get the jump on her so I'm very delighted to know that you can still do that yourself.

    • @SlimXG
      @SlimXG  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The hag fight is probably the most complex encounter in Act 1. For all the things I said about it, there's way more I coulda said, but the video is already long enough hahah. Thanks.

    • @pancakes4193
      @pancakes4193 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@SlimXG I try to avoid meta-gamimg on most encounters whenever possible, and I handwave that as them not seeing the enemy beforehand- like an actual inverse ambush like the Spectator. (which you also gave a GREAT tip for)
      However now that I think about it in retrospect, it's not actually cheesy to get the jump on Ethel. After all, it's very obvious that reaching that part of the Hag's lair is a setup for an incoming fight, and by that point, the party is already made aware that Ethel can go invisible- so it's not "metagamey" for the player to try and one up that.
      For the Spectator, I've yet to think of a way to essentially "excuse" the party reverse-ambushing it, so perhaps I won't follow the trick you gave even if it's doable. It's not a super hard encounter anyway.

    • @SlimXG
      @SlimXG  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      My first time playing the game, I just naturally snuck around to the bottom and into Ethel's room, because it felt like the roguish thing to do. I still ended up stumbling into her and getting surprised, since I didn't have Volo's eye yet, that first time. But I had already clicked the button to lower Mayrina, so I didn't even know about Ethel burning the cage until I saw it in a video, later.
      And yeah, the Spectator fight is obviously designed specifically to surprise you, so there's no way to avoid it in any "realistic" way. The trick in the video is from the mindset of, "Hey, you've done the fight the normal way before, so here's a new way to try it."

    • @Jules_Diplopia
      @Jules_Diplopia 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Maybe in Honour mode it is harder or impossible. But I sneak around the side of the tea house. From there it is possible to sneak attack Ethel whilst she is telling Mayrina to eat up. A single lightning arrow from stealth does 150 damage and kills her midst transformation. You shoot Ethel and roast the Hag. Looting the rest of her lair is a doddle from there on.

    Why these tips might seem simple to those already smashing honour mode, I have been waiting for something like this. I was just saying to my house mate how flooded youtube is with late game builds (and silly click bait) that have no relevance to someone trying to push through honour mode. I just lost my third honour mode at the end of Act 2, and these tips are just going to make Act 1 a lot smoother and more fun as I progress through and try new things. Thanks heaps brother! Calm voice, and just simple and easy things to do that aren't exploits, I bloody love it! Keen for an Act 2 or Act 3 if you ever get around to it!

      I guess this is the difference between someone who has been playing D&D since THACO vs newer players. For those of us with more than 20 years of DMing experience or playing experience, it just seems impossible to struggle on honor mode. Legit the hardest parts are the damned skill checks. I legit lost both Jaheira and Minsc because I got 10 d20s, ALL OF THEM under 4. That being said, I've turned karmic dice back on. I can't handle any more 1 in 1 million failures.
      Honestly, just knowing the mechanics is enough to make honor mode super easy. Some classes are clearly better than others. Some classes only require a level 1 dip. You have a rogue? That's a Rogue/Fighter until it's level 3. You have a wizard? Naw, it's a level 1 cleric / x wizard. These little mechanical staples make the early game a breeze without cheesing people onto death spots and carrying them all across the map. Do you have a problem with respecing characters every level? I don't. My archer (sometimes... very rarely) can be respeced every level. (Fighter 1), (Rogue 1 / Fighter 1), (Sword Bard 3), (Assassin 3, Fighter 1), (Ranger 5), etc.
      Another super important thing that I believe (I have no data on this, I simply believe it on faith since I lack evidence to support my claim), people are too attached to their main character. When I play, EVERY CHARACTER is the main character. Every little extra thing you do for your main character, I do that for the extras. Gear is always given out to whichever character it supports best. I've noticed many players treat secondary characters as left overs. Best stuff goes on main, then secondary characters get left overs. Sometimes my main character has the cheapest most worthless gear because their class just doesn't require gear the way the others do.

      Honour mode is pretty chill if you build your characters reasonably well. It's not necessary to fully min max but you can if you want.
      But the main thing is to know your encounters. Understanding how to clear the major encounters and making preparations for them makes honour mode, muuuuuch easier

    There's a more consistent way to get Voss' Sword at the entrance of the mountain pass. A level 5 Beast Master Ranger's bear has an attack that disarms without a check (as long as it hits), so you just make the bear invisible, bless it, then pray for the 80% with advantage to hit. You'll have to fight but you get the sword far more consistently. Of course this would likely require a respec (very few people use beast master), but 200ish gold for both respecs tends to be worth it for the best sword in the game for Lae'zel.

    This video is incredible, genuinely some really clever techniques showcased for each boss and situation! This will do wonders for my honor mode run, thank you! I also like how you showcase multiple solutions to each boss (i.e. talking to Voss first or alternatively kidnapping and yeeting him lmao) so that you can still roll-play and cheese less if you'd prefer that.

    • @SlimXG

    This video is extremely helpful. I do solo Honour runs myself (haven't finished yet but have gotten deep into act 2 on my best attempt) and there's lots of helpful build-agnostic tips in here. Would love to see a video for act 2/3 as well.

    • @SlimXG
      @SlimXG  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, I picked the classes for the video mostly at random, with the exception of Karlach as a monk (to show off the Soul Coin trick). I tried not to lean into too much class-specific stuff, and some of the spells I used could be replicated with scrolls. Having a source of Prone sure is useful, though.

    • @forestsavior
      @forestsavior 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I mostly run as Tavern Brawler Eldritch Knight, so aside from rituals pretty much all my spells come from scrolls. Most scrolls are plentiful enough for defensive buffs like Blur, E&G, etc. but there are some situationally godlike scrolls that are obnoxiously rare.
      Thinking specifically of Knock here to open up Balthazar's office in the Gauntlet. I scummed like 10 partial rests trying to buy one from Roah Moonglow to no avail. But it's been a while since I got back to act 2, so I'll have some time to think about other ways to deal with him with this build. @@SlimXG

    Ty for the tips homie.
    I almost closed vid on the nth time ive seen someone say command drop everburn, but Im glad I stayed because the bliss spores before creche yllek/necromancy of thay is such a good idea.. and im thinking paired with shapeshifter boon would be almost gaurenteed awakened on honour mode. Fingers crossed we make it outta act 1 with this one xd

    • @SlimXG
      @SlimXG  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hahah yeah, I started the video like that as a joke on how common that tip is, hoping people would watch at least 10 seconds . . As for Awakened, remember that if your main character is the one sitting in the machine, all the rolls are saving throws, so Shapeshifter's Boon doesn't help.

    • @LaneBeckhart
      @LaneBeckhart 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @SlimXG confirmed tho, it was guaranteed awakened AND thay. No joke.. elixir of heroism and bless paired with bliss spores. Clutch. Rolled 30s on most all of it, except to use inspo on thay.
      Edit: there was Rest between switching zones between mountain pass and the underdark, but I don't think they counted as long rest cause I didn't use supplies. Iunno.

    • @SlimXG
      @SlimXG  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      After finishing the creche, Voss will force a rest when he comes to your camp. But if it wasn't that, then I dunno either.
