    Easy tip for solo gryforge.
    Stand on the forge and drop a potion at your feet. The broken potion will raise you when the hammer breaks it.

    • @Pheeon
      @Pheeon  ปีที่แล้ว +9

      That's a good tip! I was trying to not use anything but ended up needing an invisibility potion.
      Just did it with no items, levels, or equipment though in my latest short! I'll keep that strat in mind when I do level1 lonewolf.

      Grym's movement only gets him halfway across the platform, so I used a potion of flight to get around him, and lured him back and forth between the edge and center of the platform. That leaves you just out of his melee reach. Only danger is when he uses his stomp.

      Thanks for watching, and good point! I did actually grab it, though I was going to bring it up in the next video. I valued the free spell slot more at the early levels, so I just made the decision to omit the procurement. I might consider the Pyroquickness hat later as well.

      @@Pheeon Just had to mention it because I just got it a few hours ago in my run and it borderline trivializes the game if you open with a scorching ray, maybe upcast it, for up to a +7 on spell attacks and especially spell save DC. It's beyond busted, no idea how they thought it's appropriate as an "uncommon" tier item.
      Also pro-tip: All you need to deal is fire damage of any kind, meaning you can use something like firebolt on objects and farm your 7 turns of Arcane Acuity, then enter turn based mode and start your fight with lots of Arcane Acuity without wasting a round setting it up

      There's an added bonus that by respecing you have a sudo long rest, where you get spellslots and health from leveling. I probably won't be exploiting it but it's on the table.

    So I’ve been doing this except with ice magic only. And I’m doing it on balanced. Because the only damaging ice spells you have until level 7 are ice knife and chromatic orb. And I’ve knife rarely even does ice damage. It’s pure hell. I wanna die. Fire you get scorching rays and then fire ball at level 5. Fire ball does more damage than ice storm at level 7. You also don’t get create water unless you dip into cleric or Druid. So you really don’t get ice storm until level 8. But hey, you are forced to get heavy armor, and you do deal solid damage. Especially once you get the mourning frost. Which lets you inflict chilled, deal 1 more ice damage and freeze enemies.
