It came to my attention that the ring of protection quest doesn't work the same for everyone, it can sometimes bug out when doing early. So if you want to play it safe just follow Kagha's quest normally and when you convince her to (...small Act I spoiler...) stop the ritual, THEN you can safely get it without worrying about a fight breaking out. Just make sure to talk to Mol after saving the tiefling on the beach. Cheers!
Shit, there's a quest for Kagha? In my game, Halsin just returned to the Grove on his own and demoted her to a Novice at the same time that all the Tieflings were readying to leave, now that the road was safe from the nearby Goblins. It was really anticlimactic, to be honest.
@sonadowfiend yeah, if you find an item hidden in the druids store room, or one out on an island past the swamp you can learn her secret and confront her.
@@sonadowfiend did you speedrun to the goblin camp or something? You gotta explore the Grove and talk to everyone! There's a note in the grove "offices" somewhere suggesting that she is... let's just say "not wholesome", and suggests where to find the evidence for that
There’s a really ez way to steal the idol just have someone use mage hand and push the idol into a safe hidden area then pick it up
Also, the Staff of Arcane Blessing tooltip is wrong. It only provides an additional 1d4 to Spell Attack rolls on Bless. It also does not proc off the Ring of Promise. That only grants you a 'regular' Bless. You need to do more thourough investigation.
Things to note right off the bat, Shadowheart does not come equipped with Command, you must open the spell list and swap it in. you need to do this before entering combat as you cant change spells during fights for obvious reasons
Well, yes I just meant it’s already available from her circle of spells but you are right I should’ve mentioned maybe that you have to swap it :D
Thx for this comment, you got me the sword lol i gave up the first time n just figured it got patched out of her lvl 1 build lol
@@KainRaRPG for sure, i loved the video i just thought to mention it cause my dumbass didnt realize it when i tried the first time
@@imnoah004 No no I agree, very good point! :)
I frankly love the fact that it seems so hard to get at first until you learn the game mechanics and then you suddenly see the "one neat trick" to get it without too much difficulty
Actually both Adamantine Armors and Mountain Pass are both in act I in locations that are between act I and II (in grymforge you can take elevator that will take you to the act II, but from the side of the goodies, instead of baddies)
Yep I always shared this opinion that Mountain Pass is Act I but some people insist otherwise so I mention it just in case :D
@@KainRaRPG When people say otherwise, just point out that the game doesn't award the achievement for leaving act 1 until you enter the Shadow-Cursed lands.
Your videos have really been helpful to me! I’m restarting the game so I’ll have a chance to put these tips into practice! I missed quite a few items that would have come in handy in my first run!
Glad I could help!
so i think im nearing the end of act 1 (just got mountain pass left), so i figured id come back and list some items ive found useful that i havent seen talked about too much.
slippery chain shirt from the festering cove in underdark, youll have to watch a vid to see where that is, i cannot explain that im sorry but anyways, Aura of Protection: When the wearer heals a creature, it automatically Disengages and won't trigger Opportunity Attacks. i think this is specifically strong if the player character uses med armor, so youd want to use the adamantine scale armor, which leaves shadowheart with this!
my main char is a halfling bard, so ive found a lot of use out of cap of curing as well as wonderous gloves. and a specific shout out to ring of jump, which lets me reach places i otherwise couldnt with my lil legs, as well as the sunwalker's gift, which gives me dark vision basically. this also lets shadowheart use the whispering promise and ring of salvaging. one of the most interesting things with running [lore] bard is balancing your gear with shadowheart.
i sadly missed the hellriders pride gloves, but the herbalist gloves make an ok substitute.
sword of justice + caustic band on lazel is wild, especially once she can just misty step next to things for free occasionally, combined that with haste and what she can accomplish in a single turn is bonkers.
spellshade circlet + melf's first staff, specifically on anyone with misty step, since it is extremely easy to reposition into darker areas to trigger spellshade. the shadowy animation it gives the character when active is also VERY fitting for gale.
uncovered mysteries, specifically for main characters that have read the necromancy tomb to get speak with dead thus not needing that neck anymore. bonus points if you also have speak with animals. this gives you a way to detect thoughts, talk to the dead, and speak with animals. bards, locks, druids can all do this (prob more idk.) extremely underrated neck imo if you enjoy the additional dialogue.
shadowheart has a lot of fun gear tbh, but my favorite combo has been staff of arcane blessing + whispering promise + amulet of restoration. its impactful imo bc it opens up the option for you to take glyph of warding and spirit guardians while still having at least 1 cast of mass heal to apply bless with, on top of the additional (stronger) bless from arcane blessing. it has been wonderful to be able to play shadowheart more aggressively (thanks to main char being a bard) and i think it fits her character more, especially if you are like me, and stuck with trickery domain for first playthru. honorable mention to wepira's crown, boots of striding, and glowing shield.
faithbreaker and to a lesser extent, greatclub+1 were both INCREDIBLY useful for a certain boss weak to bludgeon (shout out haste.)
and last but not least, psychic spark, which is good on anyone with magic missle.
You can feather fall then jump down into the chasm in front of the phase spider matriarch and land in the under dark very near the phalar aluve as well
true!
Thank you for this video (and also the previous one) so glad I have this and my guideline. I forget to take some items in my playthroughs. Great content
Thanks! That means a lot :)
Phalar Aluve is the backbone of my Elistraee character. Are there better weapons? Yes. But nothing in the game suits an Elistraee Character better than this.
It's quite a good item, and very flavorful for a bard.
It's the very reason I remade an old dnd char of mine in bg3. Selakiir the Chaotic Good Drow Cleric of Elistrae got a second chance at life that hopefully will end less tragically then his tabletop one :)
Phalar Aluve's Shriek ability is insanely strong. You walk up just close enough to get enemies into range (which is quite big) and then take the turns of your other party members, which will deal 1d4 thunder per hit each. If you really want to break the damage of this ability into OP territory, use Magic Missile and all the gear that boosts Magic Missile. Additionally, the minus on saves is really good too!
Kind regards from a fellow Eilistraee cleric/bard Tav
What does elistraee mean
@@jonnathanrodriguez3786 Eilistraee is a goddess. The sword Phalar Aluve got its powers from a ritual committed for her and received her blessing.
Waiting for the act 2 and 3 videos! Going to finish act 1 in a very short while, so I'm eager to see which goodies I can put my hands on!
I second this, would love act 2 and 3 versions
oh THAT'S what I didn't get about why everyone was using that item.. it gives passive Cat's Grace.. my eyes just skipped right over that before lmao
The Githyanki Sword, can use a hireling fighter with Disarm Manuveour, and i added Lucky as Feat for better chance.. lol. Use an invisible potion, sneak up to him. Save the game, disarm strike him, when u see "Weapon Dropped" you succeed or if not F8.. theb ur hireling fighter pick up the sword. Transfer it to ur other party members
And now she can ..er.. die.
U can resurrect her in camp by Withers.
I have found 2 amulets of restoration. If you loot all the safes in the vault in Baldur's Gate there is a second for free.
Wow I missed some of those, even when I was "so close" to them didn't notice some great items on vendors. Awesome list!
great series! looking forward to more
It's funny how I've replayed Act I so many times and missed many of these. I only came across Phalar Aluve on my latest run.
have you played dark urge? would you recommend? i’m about to start a second play through and am considering it
You are going in very linear. On my first and only playthrough I got most of these. Maybe missed 1?
I want to throw out Bow of the Banshee, it's one of the dwarves in the boat while travelling to Grimforge. My bard used it to the end of the game because it has a high chance to apply frightened which reduces movement speed to 0 allow a ranged character to stay away. It also gives disadvantage on just about everything. An weaker version of the bow is Harold which just applies bane.
Periapt of wound closure doesn't actually maximize the healing caused but actually the healing received, so it's better on a tank/Frontline who takes lots of damage
I accidentally completely missed everything in the underdark in my current play through
If you really want the broken act3 sword in act 1, you can instead of spamming command, use Fear once you get a level 3 spell slot
It will, literally scare off Voss, while making hit drop the sword, along with everyone else in the AoE. This trivializes what is normally a fairly hard fight, as all the Gith in the aoe drop their weapons as well, AND run and cower for 2 turns. You can maximize the number of targets you hit with the fear by being invisible and using turn based mode, I hit everyone but 1 archer Gith, including the dragon when I did it.
I found both mithril ore this time, accidentally made both armours tho, gave it to Shadowheart, I used the heavy for about 2/3 hours til I got the flawed helldusk
10:30 technically the first +3 weapon you can get/encounter is silver sword of the astral plane. you get this weapon from Voss, either in Act3 with a Quest, or in Act1 when you first encounter him with drop weapon. You can let him drop the weapon with a fighter or command drop. Its a low chance since he is lvl 12, but with the power of save scumming its possible. You have to sneak up on him, since when the fght starts he flies away. After he dropped it, just pick it up and let the character die. Revive him/her at the camp and you got yourself your first legendary. Note: Lae'zel wants to talk to him when you first encounter him, so i used invisible shadowheart with command drop. If you give this weapon to Lae'zel after you obtain it this way, the game will sequenze break and give you some Act3 dialog, but i havnt found out if this has other consequenzes yet. *edit 11:00 mentions this haha
haha, i just wrote this comment before i finished the next section of the video haha
@@todesrolle2393 well you explained it nicely so no harm done :D might be useful for others.
If you want him to drop the weapon, wait until level 3 and use Heat Metal, it has a 25% instead of a 9% chance then.
not sure if that works, since he isntantly flies away@@MayHugger
@@todesrolle2393 It works the same way Command does.
Pretty sure the Periapt of Wound closure maximizes heals on the person wearing it and not all heals cast. Correct me if I am wrong.
youre correct
@@lobster9059 Thanks
Remember the ice staff u get from combining the 3 icy items
How do you get this item?
@@Bradimus1981 there is 3 icy items in the underdark u can combine to a staff called Mourning Frost
@@DjDoomtrain I will make sure to get those and the weapon. Thanks.
@@Bradimus1981 No problem
If you use that exploit to get the Silver Sword you will get some Act Three Lines early if you equip it to Lae'zel
as for the first part of the game (the intro where you get the blade) it's not worth it to kill the guy for XP, just get him to drop it. what you really want are the throwables in the area. you can get quite a few of the bombs that create a gravity well and pull targets together, head up the stairs to the right when you trigger the 2nd group of enemies, send a character up there to grab the bombs before activating the final CS of the intro area
to get the ring of protection without using a glitch, just finish the shadow druid questline with kagha(i would kill her at the end, gives better rewards) and then yoink it normally. even when you get caught it wont trigger the druid tiefling fight anymore. so tp out or lie your way out.
Yeah, I just showed the earliest way. You can get it normally through progressing the quest as you said.
This is very good to know. I kept trying @KainRaBG3 strat and the druids attack everyone.
great video, ty for the good content.
In case it wasnt mentioned: ring if protection can be gitten even if you fail to catch umi, AND fail to save the boy frim the harpies. Use shrink/disguise self/animal form to get into the hideout to talk to mol.
I always fail the harpy fight cause the kid runs by them getting one shotted.
i cast hold person or sleep on the kid to have them next to the healer
u also get 2 chances with umi, if u long rest you can have another try.
The last sword is a quest reward later on, I would be very careful about cheesing it. Some people have mentioned it can bug out Voss, others wrote it went fine .... I can live without it, you get it fairly early on anyway in act 3 I believe ...
Yeah I got it the “legit” way myself, but lots of people were mentioning it so I thought it was worth to include for people that want to try it on their own risk :D
I got it in mine with the cheese, there's definitely some sort of bug, unsure how serious though, for one ANY combat i do has the gyth patrol always join in, even when im in the cave with the spiders in blighted village, I am still to kill them. Lae'zel speaks some wierd stuff that won't make sense for the timing and finally there's dialogue options talking about moonrise tower before I even know what the goblins are doing in life.
Not sure about the consequences later, but the sword is indeed a beast and works with illusion gith spell.
@@aonirsplayground6224 not gonna lie that sounds quite hilarious xD gith showing up out of nowhere and Laezel becoming incoherent because of a sword.
@@KainRaRPG She assumes the patrol is also dead, even though it isn't, but I think my mystake was reviving shadowheart instead of at camp but through scroll.
All she says is stuff about voss that won't make sense including orpheus, and also some lines about using silver swords as a non gith, the rest of her dialogue seems fine though.
Unsure if the game allowed me to kiss shadowheart because of this as a bug lol, because I remember not even a kiss from shadowheart until the party at camp, could had been wrong dialogue choices then though.
Always overlooked at the Adamantine forge... bludgeoning weapon; ignores hardness and breaks chests and doors easily without having to pick locks in the hands of a strong PC; if no 'true' rogue in the group a great solution. If you don't need 2 armors then....
Most blunt weapons do that tho, no need to waste an armor slot for it :D
everburn blade is the one. i almost act 2 but still can't seem to replace it
I like titan string on my rogue fighter. Use hillgiant club, titan string bow. 20 dex, 19 str, sneak attack hits like a truck.
3:00 pet hate in games where one small decision to open a chest much earlier in the game means you miss out on the best bow and other items are unobtainable
Easiest way to kill the commander is to stack 3 of the big chest in the last hallway so the adds can't mob u. The. Use command to disarm him. With that he's alot easier to kill
Battlemaster Lae'zel can get disarming strike so I'm planning to use that as well as command on Shart I hope turn based mode allows me to use both of the attacks smultaneously so the whole rocess would be much less tedious.
The issue with Laezel there is that she actually leaves your party to start a cutscene with them if she’s near
(I assume you’re talking about getting the silver sword)
Except for the silver sword (you collect it by act3, and it is impacting too much roleplay) I agree..:)
That’s why I added it at the end and mentioned to get it at your own risk :D but in my previous video a lot of people were asking about it.
@@KainRaRPG thanks!
No one talk about the druid idole which give you mastery in nature to u and any companion near. Just steal it from Mol after he gives you the Ring Of Protection. It's a must to get the blue mushroom in the underdark.
I heard it disappears after act 1 I think though
I am really confused should I go finish the geth mission or go to the UnderDark first i dont know which on is better to start with?
i never knew there was a trader in the creche, I just killed everyone in there. lol. good to know
I'm proud, been watching those videos for the past hour or 2 and found all items people are mentionning except the ring of protection.
Hello, I was wondering how your weapon usually offers you bonus damage like 1d4 radiant dmg with 4+ acid? I played for around act 2 but very few of my weapon really give me that bonuses ❤
OMG, Mirkon bugged out for me and got stuck on the beach. I never got to talk to Mol... so sad. It seems like I have to play again.
Would you do a video with item combo suggestions for some classes (namely bard)
In your other video did you talk about the dagger in the meat by the barn where those two are being busy?
If you get the giant to drop her club, you can actually trick the game into equipping it on your character by dragging your current equipped weapon ONTO the club in your inventory; it will equip it then. This "bug" (or easter egg?) still exists.
3:00 no you have to do the rescue quest first. otherwise these items wont be available
You are correct, most people find the hideout after dealing with the cave but yeah I think you need to get the chest from the Zhents first.
I have already finished the Grove quest and saved everyone. I cannot get the ring of protection now, can I?
Sadly no, you have to get the quest from Mol pretty early.
Some of these are easily missed if you are playing blindfolded
Hilarious, you should consider being a comedian!
Can you steal the ring of defence and items from zhentarim? Mol won't talk to me after I entered his hidout and waited for the ten count.
And I kinda opened the missing shipment....
I love your videos
The Silver Sword of the Astral Plane seems to have been patched since Patch #2, can't do it anymore.
June -2024 , did it on my 1st try PC 🤷🏽♂️
@@blackmarket1891 WHUT?
I gave up after 20 tries
I just recently did it a week ago on ps5 took many reloads though
Why do I see people using Command on Voss instead of Heat Metal? Heat Metal is just much more likely to work.
I saved the kid but couldn’t speak with him after the crow ladies and even helped the kid tat was being “accused of stealing” and nobody is inside it’s just the two kids Mel is nowhere to be found nor is anyone else what do I do
Ofc act2 items we want it
I've completely missed that armour forge in the under dark, can you go back ?
Yes, you can come back to act I as long as you don't progress far enough into act 2.
i forgot to use the second adamantine ore. :(
Mol did nothing but tell me to get lost, all because I didn't stop some guy from slapping a thief he caught red-handed. Seriously, just for not preventing a kid I'd never met from getting slapped by someone I'd never met.
Just wait till she asks you to steal the idol
@@PokemonTrainerChris303 She never did, that was my point. One kid gave me a quest to talk to Mol, who refused to do anything other than tell me to leave. I was completely locked out of the quest to steal the idol.
@@sonadowfiend oh i see. If you get in her bad side she won’t do it. Go rescue that kid from the harpies. She’ll give you the mission then
cant get these items when playing as a paladin :D
You can only get the Titana bowstring and gloves of thievery if you complete a certain quest given after talking to a woman at the same location in the video and you have to answer the correct dialogue options to get the quest of course this video doesn’t tell you any of this and he just says got to location and buy item like bro you could at the very least give some sort of context
the whispering promise and staff of arcane blessing don't work together, the ring gives effect of bless but the staff only boosts actual bless spell
English is obviously your second language, “finesse” is pronounced “fuh-nes” :P
Great vid
Where is arduous flame blade
He died in the harpy fight :(
Whats his weapon that he has on if anyone can tell me
in which moment of the video and I'll tell you :D
I continued to try your strategy to steal the idol without the druids noticing. It would not work. lol Even when I would go to camp, I would get the cutscene where the druids go on an all out attack on everyone. Did they patch this exploit?
To my knowledge no, you have to make sure you use the fog so none of the druids see you and quickly teleport to camp because if you linger the cutscene will trigger. But if you want to be safe just profess Kagha’s quest normally and after you convince her to stop the ritual you can get the idol safely. Just remember to talk to Mol first.
@@KainRaRPG I think they fixed that exploit. Even when I was in camp the cutscene started where the druids go crazy and attack everyone. I tried it several times. I ended up just waiting till after I got Karga in trouble and they stopped the ritual. No issues now.
You have to expose Khaga or save Halsin. Then what I did was used a bard to get peoples attention, then I had wizard cast fog cloud and I had Gale use invisibility on the wizard then he grabbed it and I had all of them run up the stairs away from the inner grove. It’s easier if you do it in turn based mode.
@@Bradimus1981they didn’t, I did it recently, you just have to be incredibly FAST.
I did it recently after alot of tries basically had to hit camp as soon as I heard the sound for it entering my inventory
Easy method for stealing the idol: cast disguise self first. Steal the idol, drink invis pot, then run.
I just used magehand to throw it to myself while hiding and everyone’s attitude towards the hand went down by -10 😂
@@Chonus Do the druids notice the idol missing and start an all out attack on everyone? lol
No, I outed Kahga using the letter in the tree and killed her along with the shadow druids before attempting to steal it, I then stole it back from Mol after she gave me that sweet ring and she even commented that someone stole it as they were leaving the grove. It will lose it's Nature aura forever if you don't store it in your camp chest when you long rest. @@Bradimus1981
@@Bradimus1981 Not if you expose Kagha first :O
You can also just... be a Barbarian, take it in broad daylight (after exposing Kagha, which then won't trigger the Grove brawl), then when they challenge you, you get a conversation option that is like "TOO BAD, IT'S MINE NOW. SHOO!" and they're like "oh, ok mr. barbarian sir ::slowly backs away::", I swear the Barbarian conversation options in this game are hilarious
What about baool!
The game tells you to finish act 1 before going to act 2
If you’re talking about the mountain pass no, it warns you before traversing forward to make sure you are of high enough level, but you can still come back to the previous area no problem. It’s just to indicate you are entering a higher level zone, but it’s still technically act 1. Act 2 begins when you enter the shadowlands.
Stealing the idol worked 1 time and never worked again
If you do it in turn based mode it’s easier.
any consequences to stealing the idol too early? Won't they retaliate against the tieflings?
Unsure on this one honestly but I wouldn't mess with it until either you "refurbish" Kagha or save halsin BUT NOT DOING THE PARTY. You can steal it for mol, and steal it back from her and you should as its quite powerful to have on yourself.
As long as you don’t get the cutscene that triggers the druids retaliating on the tieflings you should be good. I just showed the earliest way but if you want to be safe do it normally through progressing the quest with Kagha.
@@aonirsplayground6224the effect dissipates same with the sursur leaves
@@PokemonTrainerChris303 yep this is true, no matter what its not coming back at all, it would be useful in the underdark to collect those glowy things but oh well
@@aonirsplayground6224 yes. You can sell the idol too but I kinda wish the game let you have your own house or something
Rip Mol is angry whit me because i was not so nice to the Kid that wanted to steal my Stuff...
The periapt maximises the healing that the wearer receives, not of all their spells.
Is there any benefit to steal the idol back from Mol? lol
It has a nice permanent aura :D I think it raises survival and animal handling.
@@KainRaRPG It seems to go away after a long rest. There is probably a way to bring it back though. I did not even have to pick pocket Mol for it, he sold it to me. lol
Are You from Poland?
gloves of dexterity?
See previous video :)
Wish you were show location on map
I did with most items (you also see the coordinates), but didn't have footage for a few.
I love ur accent
Man, ring of protection quest is such a bullshit
Bro made an extremely detailed act 1 item location's video and only got 4.2k likes for it, and worse part is, I just came here from a dumb skibidi toilet video that had WAY MORE LIKES, this crap is insane man. 🤦🏽
Hahah love your comment, dw im still grateful so many ppl saw it and the first part got 16k likes so it’s not that bad xD
@@KainRaRPG just feel like it deserved more but, keep going bro, the content's extremely helpful, thanks
The comments show me, people dont explore the map...
Too many bugs
Didn’t watch video because it’s fun to just come across things naturally. Don’t seek out characters, quests or items. Just experience the world
Thanks for your input, but the video is mostly directed towards people that want to see what they missed after their first playthrough, and not everyone cares about only exploring, and some items can be build defining so it’s worth to check before leaving the act etc. Everyone plays how they want to and there’s no point in gatekeeping a single player game.
