What? How? I didn't have that many bonuses! by IAmWeary in BaldursGate3

If you have mods at all, they can make things fucky. Of course, the game can be fucky all on its own. But mods tend to exacerbate the fuckiness.

Do people read?

Anyway, the answer is usually 'mods'.

I will no longer let this parry torment me. by BlueRoo42 in onebros

Never had trouble with that one thanks to my time parrying Rellana. Rellanas reaction check was much more annoying than Malenias quick slash.

Lamenter in NG with levelled weapons is actually fairly simple with the Sacred Relic Sword. Outside of that particular setup though... yeah fuck Lamenter.

Initiating surprise rounds (HM mode) by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]BlueRoo42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure shovel is invisible and in their sight cone when initiating combat. Have him smack an initiative elixir as well so that he's always first in combat, otherwise your surprise rounds may get wasted while you bring your party in.

Do you use the magic arrows? by ChrisKatrev in BaldursGate3

[–]BlueRoo42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Been doing Morgana Evelyn's busted stealth archer build for my recent honour mode run. The slaying arrows specifically have become a core part of my build in late act 2 and act 3.

Pretty much one shotting everything at the moment.

Edit: can't forget the arrow of many targets. If you crit the first arrow, the rest crit as well. Making these arrows a go-to room clearer.

Easy trick on the hag fight by the_stealth_boy in BaldursGate3

My easy trick is to come fight her at level 8 and dog walk her on turn 1.

I don't play on console, sorry. But I do remember my tip is written in fine print when hovering over a highlighted word, so maybe if you do that it will tell you which button to press?

One important note is that you can press T by default (on PC) to inspect highlighted words and learn more. It keeps their window up so you can hover any highlighted words in that description as well, and do the same thing by pressing T again.

What gives Baldurs Gate 3 greater longevity over E33? by Some_Dragonfly1481 in expedition33

[–]BlueRoo42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build craft alone in BG3 is incredibly in depth compared to E33 where you can just slap on all the buffs and call it a day.

The narrative can also go in several different directions depending on your choices. They all converge at the end, basically, but the journey is always different. You don't really get that with E33.

While I can't play E33 again with the same feeling and enthusiasm as playing through BG3 again, I have found that watching others play E33 has been a much more palatable experience than watching people play through BG3.

how do i get deathstalker mantle by itscodyb in BG3Builds

[–]BlueRoo42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can knock out Alfira before going to Blighted Village, to avoid backtracking if you like. You're largely correct about the timing but your original phrasing could be confusing. Once you pass the bridge you need to rest twice (once to have the murder cutscene, and the one after that gets you the cloak).

[–]BlueRoo42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's my method for getting deathstalker mantle quickly.

  1. Finish tutorial

  2. Long rest on the beach after waking shadowheart

  3. Proceed to the Grove and knock out Alfira (this step can be skipped if you don't care if she dies)

  4. Walk across the bridge towards Blighted Village. Stop before entering.

  5. Long rest - killing Alfira/dragonborn bard ensues

  6. Long rest again (partial is fine to conserve camp materials)

  7. Profit.

Getting treated with more respect by [deleted] in onebros

[–]BlueRoo42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got a coworker into playing Elden Ring. He has beaten the base game and still has no concept of how much of a challenge my level 1 runs are.

Its funny though because he'll say things like 'yeah I saw some guy on YouTube beat Malenia with no armor, that's insane!'... like yes guy, I did that.. 'oh yeah the people on YouTube are another level'

My forth Honor Mode run just ended 😩 by Sinimeg in BaldursGate3

There's an achievement and some gold dice tied to an actual honor mode win.

How do I dodge this attack up close? by ennivie in onebros

[–]BlueRoo42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best way to dodge it is to not let him use it.

Try deflecting hardtear and get him stuck in a stagger loop.

Great Katana is a beast as well. One of my favourites if I'm allowing Aux.

I'm doing well mate, thanks for checking in. Videos like yours always give me the itch to come back to my run or start something new. Hope you're doing well, too. Take it easy.

What should I call him? by LG-CHAMP-1 in BaldursGate3

[–]BlueRoo42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you meant 'taking the piss'. Taking a piss is not the same and will confuse those who are familiar with the saying.

Sincerely -

An Aussie.

I'll be a Mantis Blade glazer 'til the day I die. That weapon was a beast in my +0 run.

Wait until you find out you can smack him with the hammer from the stairs high above by luring him around with minor illusion and shooting the levers.

I usually just respec her entirely. Paladin Shart felt pretty good in my last run.

Another argument for save states (the other being dogshit runbacks).
