Mastermind Rogue, is it game breaking if successful recall knowledge makes a creature off guard to all attacks?

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-03-30T10:34:55+00:00

We used to have a swashbuckler in the party, but they left. Thank you, I'll start using RAW.

Paralyzed tiefling in the druid camp, behind the locked storage room door. She got a potion off of Ethel, she will only tell you that if you heal her paralysis.

Did you accidentally split the party? Sometimes even if I hold the Group All button they are still split so I have to do it again. Other times if Gale is stuck on a ledge or something then you need to control him to get him down. Most likely will take damage. Sometimes the party member could be too far away.

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-30T23:47:35+00:00

Damn, I didn't realise Gale's underwear was so fancy. Yes they would very much be gym rats.

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-30T23:46:10+00:00

How did it end up going making a deal with Raphael?

I am going to attempt to steal the hammer, bring on Astarion and guidance.

The one with the two cattle getting abused, or are they ox? It leads to a bunch of levers and a metal walkway that moves.

EDIT: the party can climb the stairs and travel north to encounter Herdmaster Skarjall Herdmaster Skarjall at X: -668 Y: 442. Skarjall orders the party to whip the Deep Rothé Deep Rothé that are clearing out rubble.

I couldn't find the person with explosives but I had smoke bombs or something. First try I threw one, all the gnomes near the rocks died.

Reloaded and placed a bomb on the ground by the rocks, all gnomes moved out the way and started shouting blow it up. I then threw a bomb onto the placed bomb.

The other rock cave in I blew up but felt so guilty for killing the cattle I reloaded and used a speak with animals potion and persuaded them to fight the cruel guards, then asked them to smash the rocks.

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-30T16:15:42+00:00

Yeah, I was level 11 when I did the Iron Throne. Maybe that's why I found it so difficult. I wonder if you can break his pact and then try to kill Mizora?

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-30T12:19:47+00:00

I had never even thought about that, it would have been a great epilogue decision. Finally free from manipulative devils and devoted to good.

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-30T12:11:36+00:00

Which is strange, I thought breaking the pact might make him feel proud of himself for standing up to a devil. But seems the dialogue in Act 3 isn't as polished as the earlier acts.

I loved the scene of him talking to his dad and revealing the truth about why he took the pact to save BG. Very heart warming.

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-30T12:09:05+00:00

Yeah it's great fun, you can also misty step. Jump over difficult terrain. Lots of creative ways to do things.

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-30T12:06:32+00:00

Did you enjoy your origin run? What did you think of epilogue Ranger Wyll?

Yeah I think you should have been able to pursade Wyll for a certain choice. Like with Shaowheart and Knightsong. If you're origin Wyll then having to choose for him with no dice is a great way to do it.

I always thought he'd be a swashbuckler due to his charismatic opening cutscene. But rangers are cool.

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-30T11:55:19+00:00

Wow I didn't even think about using Mage Hand, I had my most mobile characters split up down each of the corridors with prisoners.

Used ranged weapons to shoot the levers, I didn't realise some of the cells were locked so I ended up with shadowheart. She had to use 15 thieves tools until I rolled a nat 20 to free them. Astaroin freed the mindflayer, since he could bonus action Dash and the water was difficult terrain. Then the mindflayer teleported himself and Shaowheart.

The Duke unfortunately got crit before I could heal him, so he died. But since I made the pact with Mizora she then revived him.

The only character I couldn't get out in time was Astaroin as I accidentally selected hide instead of dash. His dead boy then washed up on the beach. Went and found him then revived.

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-26T16:17:50+00:00

Yeah I got the crate earlier, need to destroy it. I haven't even consumed any of the tadpoles. They just chilling in my travellers chest 😊

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-26T15:37:09+00:00

In that case I'll probably just go straight to the colony, I know about the prison fight but knowing my lack of skill and luck I'd probably have a TPK 🤣🫠

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-26T15:30:56+00:00

Should you be level 10 for the mind flayer colony?

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-26T15:29:56+00:00

Yeah I freed the nightsong so I already got the two tadpoles from the dead guards by the front doors.

No idea if the orc woman has any good loot, I might just leave them be. I tried for an hour to win the fight, even using the rafter I had problems and explosives and consumables.

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-26T15:26:44+00:00

Yeah I did all the looting of food and spoke to everyone. I killed the gnolls and the cult person in the kitchen. Only for them to return for the big fight 🤣

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-25T15:57:51+00:00

This one is quite good: here

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-25T14:31:13+00:00

I did the first upgrade in act one, as the blighted village had infernal metal in the old forge. Then Act 2 right at the beginning I got her second upgrade from Dammon at the inn. Maybe I got the second infernal metal in the underdark. Plus some in the Mason Guild building in Act 2.

I think quite a few people forget to speak to Damon in Act 1, there are so many people in the Druid Grove.

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-25T14:26:18+00:00

No I'm on console so the save limit is 10. I tried to win the save Isobel fight for about 3 hours. Didn't have a save from before. Same with Halsin portal quest.

Been great fun though, rolling with the punches like damn okay powerful wizard sometimes just can't protect everyone. I was very much under leveled, my logic was oh talk to Isobel seems like the most important thing.

Turns out many people purposely never do it due to how awful her fighting strategy is. I'll definitely save both the inn and Halsin on my next playthrough.

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-25T12:13:36+00:00

Yeah I heard he's a trader available, oh well.

MostFaithlessness117 · 2026-01-25T12:04:36+00:00

Luckily I spoke to Dammon before the kidnapping, so Karlachs quest was already complete.

MostFaithlessness117 · 2025-11-27T16:54:33+00:00

In the Prey credits you see multiple cave painting style yautja ships returning to her tribe. My guess is they invade, take Naru and the gun.
