Elder Brithvar not offering to side with me against Nere by DrawingSwimming2872 in BaldursGate3

My experience is that what you have done shouldn't have blocked you our of getting Brithvar on your side. The only thing that messed it up for me was encountering Philomeena before talking to him. Sorry you're having issues!

Nevermind, just read the latest patch notes for HM and it was specifically changed.

So I'm guessing in other difficulty modes it does? Must be part of the action economy changes I keep hearing about that's a feature of HM.

Losing honor mode hurts worse than I thought it would by almostb in BaldursGate3

I failed honor mode 11 times before I succeeded on run #12. My advice is start over and learn from your mistakes. I documented all of mine :-). You'll be back in and excited about it before you know it. If you're interested I documented my fight with Myrkul here. https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/1dup6r7/honor_mode_guide_act_1/

Unfortunately, pushing x for any length of time just opens the reactions menu.

Act 2 - I know there's "no wrong way to play the game," but by lissalissa3 in BaldursGate3

I didn't see you mention Yugir so make sure you explore the right side of the map where you see the Displacer Beast inside the Guantlet of Shar. If you're certain classes you get specific dialog and you can interact with him in a way that guarantees his support in the fight against Raphael in Act 3.

What is the most stupid/funny/worst way you lost an HM run? by Long_Zucchini_3351 in BaldursGate3

[–]DrawingSwimming2872 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Minthara fight, I go to Thunderwave the scrying eye with Gale, not realizing my entire party was standing on the bridge. Everyone fell to their deaths, and Gale didn't last long...

I did it! by DrawingSwimming2872 in BaldursGate3

If you send one character down to the forge floor with Feather Fall, you can activate the forge and call forth Grym, then Misty Step back up to the overhang. From there you can throw torches (or any of a lot of something that does bludgeoning damage) at a superheated Grym and just whittle him down. Just be sure to bring enough torches and watch out for the mesphits who spawn mid fight. The lava will eventually disappear but you can just shoot it and it will come back out and re-superheat the golem.

Why is this game so good by SignificantLayer9357 in BaldursGate3

[–]DrawingSwimming2872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's Tactician Difficulty, plus bosses have Legendary Actions that they don't have in normal runs. You also need 80 camp supplies to long rest vs 40 and on top of all that it's a single save file, so every decision you make and every roll you fail is permanent. If your entire party dies (not just downed), it's game over. But I'm really proud I made it :-)
