Was so glad to see this pop up, especially after I just did this fight. I won, but it was clunky, not my best shot at him. And then here you are, 1v1, like a smooth operator 😂. Smart use of the Slayer form to tank the lightning, wp 👌
@@FriendlyLich yeah. Didn't know that that skill dealt THAT MUCH damage. And I didn't prepare death ward, otherwise i was done and he was dead. Cuz even if i fell to 1hp i had the heals from Holy hammer from divine intervention and mass healing word and preserve life. + 3 other morons that could attack him. I just really really thought he was easy even tho he always scared the shit out of me. He was 28 hp away from death. Twenty-fking-eight
Fun fact. I have 600 hours in this game and have not even hit level 10 or been to act 3 on a single character. I’m gonna make one last new character and try to beat it. Idk if I should do solo or full party though.
I find it funny the fact the Emperor brushes off the fact he founded Baldurs Gate, like,"Its in the past no biggie." But since he is an illithid now he doesnt have his human emotions anymore 😅 but great job on your victory 🎉
I am a Bard/paladin and Astorian is a Ranger/rogue/fighter with small cross bows thinking of respecting for war cleric for last level. Wyll is full Warlock. ShadowHeart is light cleric/evolution wizard he does lots of reverberation stacks. I will take any help.
@@mathewlortie4270 I'm thinking Globe of Invulnerability might save you from the legendary action, but I do _not_ know that for a fact. The party sounds solid. Also, save big nukes for that last stretch! You got this 💪
@@FriendlyLich I was thinking of using that but I was worried about losing concentration on it. I was going to wing it with globe of invulnerability. Thank u for the advice.
There are two crystals near the doorway you enter by which are not destroyed by his big aoe and can be used to hide behind for the 2nd and later AoEs if you cant kill him as quick as @FriendlyLich did. Check the [!] debuff isnt on you and reposition until its gone. You need to stay near enough to get to them, movement speed and fly help. A slower fight will be grindier so bring lightning resist and potions!
Thanks! Someone commented that there are two crystals close to where you enter that are not destroyed from his aoe but I don’t know where that is. Also it might be possible (although risky) to use mind blast on it, but I have not tried that either. Last option could be globe of invulnerability
quick question from a guy preparing his solo honor mode as a full bladelock: did you take helldusk helmet for the crit passive or because you didn't bother with devil's sight? if yes, i'm curious of what king of invocations you prefered. I always tought diadem of arcane synergy was a go to for bladewarlock, especially with the bhaalist armor. anyway gg that was smooth as hell
Thank you! =) I did get Devil's Sight. It is as you say for crit immunity. Diadem is awesome but I value crit immunity higher. Not saying that it's the correct choice but crits are real scary. I do have a build video (in description) that is very close to what I ended up running. The difference is that I switched out Hex for Fireball at higher level and I changed class leveling order to: Fighter 1, Cleric 1, Warlock 5, Fighter 2 and rest into Warlock. Edit: Good luck with your run! You going 12 bladelock or what's the plan?
Last I checked helldusk helmet was bugged. You couldn't actually see through magical darkness like devil sight, eversight ring, etc. So you couldn't stand in darkness and target a ranged target with EB. You have to leave darkness, cast, then move back.
@@FriendlyLich yeah i Can get why you wanna avoid that random Crit 😆 thank you! Well my Idea was to try a solo honour mode without multiclassing and warlock (especially fiend) seemed the most sell-sufficient: controls, damage, tankyness, aoe, escape... the early levels might be rough tho
@@FriendlyLich yeah atm i'm hesitating between gith for medium/misty step and drow for free Darkness/faery light, i find it pretty cool, especially if i go greatweapon master at lvl 4. With shadow Armor/infernal robe/ring of protection and brazzer of defense i might get 20 AC pretty fast +fire and cold resistance. Seemed fair for act 1.
Is there a reason you can’t wear a shield? Does GWM in this game require you get a kill with a two handed weapon for the BA attack? Its not like that in 5E if it is
Oh I can 100% wear a shield, I do that when I fight Raphael. You do get the BA attack without a two-handed weapon. I was worried about not getting Ansur down before a third legendary action (not sure if he does that or not, but I did not want to risk it) so I went without a shield.
How are you doing so much damage with your weapon? Usually in my playthroughs it’s magic that’s the heavy hitter, with karlach and laezel doing around 20-30 damage a hit 60-70 chance to hit, but you’re getting at least 40 with basically a guaranteed hit
The armor I’m using is called Bhaalist Armor and gives nearby enemies vulnerability to piercing damage. Which doubles the damage I do with the spear :)

First thing i see when opening youtube, what great luck
Hope you enjoyed it! =)
10:37 had me nervous for a sec 😂
@@kevin11dolla Big agree! Not sure if I could had survived a second hit there. I was hoping to get missed more due to blindness there.
Honestly think you should have way more subs.
🙏🏻Thank you. Maybe one day :). I didn’t think I’d get more than 1 when I started my channel
What a kind sir, he even played a beautiful melody on his lute. GGs
Keep calm and play the power :)

Hah, smooth operator 🖤. Happy he got downed after second because a third would had sucked 😅
Always look forward to new updates from you
Thank you! You're too kind =)
Nice. And i lost with a full party of 4💀💀💀
Gg you destroyed him
122 damage with resistance to electric btw.
Thanks and yea, crazy damage coming from ol Ansur!
Sorry about your run, was it the last legendary action that got you?
@@FriendlyLich yeah. Didn't know that that skill dealt THAT MUCH damage. And I didn't prepare death ward, otherwise i was done and he was dead.

@@GentleBreeze-72 Jesh 28 hp :/ so damn close too!
Is that nova blast Ansur's legendary? That looked insane.
@@sammyisanoctopus Yeap it is! Crazy damage
Thats so GREAT!!

Hah I know what you mean. I’ve spent the majority of my time in the game in act 1 😂

Haha yeah. Humble Mind Flayer :)
I am doing my honour run too. I have been waiting to fight him because he is a little scary
Nice! What are you running as?
He really is dangerous. Specially second time the legendary action is used :S

Dude you should have went to the end of the room 1st to get the helm of baldurian
I didn't know about the helm until after the fight, but I got it then at least :)
Nicely done.. abit close at one point.. is there a way to escape the last legendary action?

can you tell me the name of the armor? gg
It’s the Bhaalist Armor. I believe it should be an equipment showcase at the end of the video. If not there’s one in my Raphael video :)

Not even close *cough cough*
😅 Yeaaaah. Think I put a little too much faith in darkness there
