Can a LONEWOLF Beat Act 1 Using Illithid Powers Only? - Baldur's Gate 3

Ilithid powers only. Casts Sanctuary and Guidance.

I. I didn't know there were mimics in Act 1.

Great video, but just for the sake of accuracy, Volo is a Bard, not a Wizard ;)

I set up Astarion partly as a Gloomstalker (also as a Thief) and also with Concentrated Blast. This way he can concentrate on Hunter’s Mark (bonus action) and cast Concentrated Blast in the same turn if needed. You could also set up a Warlock to use Hex for the concentration, which is also a bonus action. A War Domain cleric could use Divine Favour in a similar fashion, and there are probably other combos I’m not aware of 😸

bro called Volo a wizard 💀💀💀

Volo isnt a wizard. Hes the most bard of all bards

I like your premise, but neither karmic dice nor the opposite maje the dice rolling more authentic. That's the trouble with RNG, it'll never fully replicate dice rolling.

So real for not respecing

Not a real challenge run its not on honor mode. At the very least play custom mode and give the bosses legendary actions anything less than that and your playing on practice mode

Before you explained your race choice, I thought you chose Githyanki for irony's sake, luhl.

Well.. you use not only Illithid Powers but also magic, potions and so on. Misleading content in the video.

DAmn, I know you said no companions allowed, but something seems wrong about straight up making her full-on off herself.

Volo is a bard not a wizard you dunce

I like how the community decided that gith names just involve adding apostrophies.

You dont need perilous stakes to find out which one is the real Ethel. She is always the first one in the turn order because she has a buff that gives her a bonus to initiative while the clones do not. You just hover your mouse over the first one to highlight the real Ethel.

It also doesnt help her case that she always starts the fight in the same position (top near the entrance)

How far after the Druid grove do you have to get to get the 3 worms? I just sided against the tieflings for the first time a couple hours ago and minthara only gave me 1 worm at camp even though all 3 leaders were alive

Shout out to Volo for helping you with your Trotsky impression.

OK but in what world is a Cleric of Vlaakith not OK with harming enemies?

What's karmic dice?

dislike for "dream girl"

Hmm can’t help but wonder if I’m act 1 you could raid the Druid grove for the reward of parasites and then kills the goblin leaders for a total of 6 mind flayer parasites

the level of knowledge in this game is amazing

Glad you had a good time. I prefer being in a party. The social interactions and the talking to the other party members is just too entertaining for me to pass up.

I have found heat metal has good synergy with concentrated blast even if you can’t use it this run

Great run but You talk way too fast.

Gith dont worship a god

Any idea how you're gonna kill Myrkul? ;)

What I like to do with Gehk is sneak up behind him and drop a Sussur Bloom in his pocket. No counterspells or zombies. Also you know those two levers on the platform overlooking the Nere fight? If you stand up there, take potshots at the enemies below, and then back up before ending your turn, nobody can hit you. Oh, and if you jump back up to the stairs that lead to the forge, Grym will just stand around unable to reach you, and you can use Minor Illusion to draw him into the center of the room and hit the lever with a ranged attack.

How is it that Perilous stakes work on any creature for you? In all my playthrougs it only worked on allies

best BG3 content or some of.... liking all 13 videos and subbed. You need more support which is overdue for sure :)

Cult of the Lamb bgm goes hard

Very good video! Would definitely want to see more of it

MIND FREAK

Don't mind me. Just enjoying the hit of nostalgia while listening to a surprise Hollow Bastion. :D

Baldurs Ghaik run!! Romance Emperor and have your happily everafter woth your squiddy soulmate

Barrelmancy, never heard this before, i guess i should look it up. It would never occure to me honestly 😂

YAY CELESTE MUSIC
cool video

No you can't because you don't get the illithid powers for quite some time into the first act.

Ghaik propaganda

I still find it to be the ultimate irony that every method of strengthening your tadpole is from trying to get rid of it, besides the emperor's little gift that is

It’s really cool how you can make basically anything viable in this game with the right item setups

What if the game was called Baulder’s Freak 3 and everyone sucked Shadowheart’s toes 👅

L

Did you not get the upgrade to cast ilithid powers on a bonus action?

waitwaitwait
how do you manage to cast that many concentrated blasts in combat? don't you need to rest after using it once?

the reeling effect from the adamantine shield and armor cancel each other out so u just get neither

Flind lost? That's crazy, I've had 3 playthroughs where after getting her to attack her pack she fucking soloed them every time

How did you manage to make a character uglier than mine?
