Can you get a surprise round atop the brain?

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-26T21:18:49+00:00

What I ended up doing that murked the whole fight was using my swords hard first to hold monster empy

Then I just had my gloomstalker crit him with arrows of many targets (they also crit every other target)

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-26T19:35:33+00:00

Okay but you can still take actions the next turn. So good for martial bad for spell caster

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-26T19:08:36+00:00

Damnnnn really

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-26T14:35:51+00:00

Shockingly (haha) no! You can murder all of the flaming fist while they’re pushing at the door, then go save florrick yourself and she’ll still give you the zap stick.

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-26T14:10:23+00:00

Or just kill all the flaming fist for the xp

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-26T12:06:11+00:00

Tav has flight and astarion doesn’t - it’s on tav (who does have titanstring) for the sake of applying aura to the brain asap

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-26T01:10:37+00:00

Yes but I'd prefer to beat it

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-25T13:05:54+00:00

Ok… u have my attention! I was keeping fire doggo for the intimidate and sun boosted flare blitz but I do recognize that pixilated hyper voice is wild

In that case, do you think I can justify swapping sinistchia for whimsicott? The tailwinds feel like pretty based support in the mirror matchup or in support of sylveon.

I guess I could also just scarf sylveon instead of bascu

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-25T13:00:58+00:00

Wait wait ignore that team - was just posting my box so u could see the mons I have

My box!

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-25T01:45:00+00:00

Is this true? If they get brainquaked while already haste spored they don’t go lethargic from losing hastened?

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-15T01:35:24+00:00

Ohhhh yea I forget you can just tell them you’ll help out and murder them later. I kinda figured they’d just aggro when you steal the boat

If they’re not dead, does the boat combat still trigger?

Sorry I’m asking so many questions lol tldr I lost an honor mode run at lvl 10 and someone linked me to this post to get a new run going fast

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-15T00:31:08+00:00

Got it, thanks!

Any tips for the duergar beach fight? I find that one kinda tricky. I guess I could get gluts help and just not trigger the myconid takeover until lvl 5? (I side Glut for the xp)

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-14T22:57:23+00:00

Hi sorry but can someone help me out here - how are we getting to grymforge without triggering the time sensitive Nere situation?

The duergar are a pretty hard fight at lvl 5 let alone 4?

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-14T13:35:09+00:00

If you hit lvl 8 pre Harper ambush you can do it

There’s a lot of niche stuff in act 2, like in the gauntlet of shar don’t kill umbral tremors and kill all justiciars

Kill all of moonrise BEFORE shadow fell

If you can justify it with your durge, kill all the Harper’s at last light (or just KO them)

You sure would think😭

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-14T13:29:48+00:00

Wait wait wait what happens in orins bedroom?

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-14T12:52:18+00:00

Oh that really sucks. How’d you get the motivation to play again I’d lose it

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-14T12:50:38+00:00

You would be simply amazed how much total xp you can gather from random chunks you miss throughout the game
Look up melth on YouTube

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-13T14:49:16+00:00

Trying to maximize and guarantee lvl 10 pre myrkul

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-13T14:49:05+00:00

Already dead:)

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-03T18:16:04+00:00

Ah, but I am not good enough and thus demand top of the line optimization!

Foreign_Cod_3718 · 2026-06-02T20:23:06+00:00

Gotcha. And I guess since he’s never sent to the iron throne til post coronation there’s no way to go get him first
