@@erikmacaluso yes, but why wait? Get them at the very start instead. Cast darkness and pickpocket him and suffer no consequences. Unlike another item in act one that when the npc tries to give it to you, if he discovers it's been pickpocketed, he becomes hostile. (in the blighted village)
currently got Gale set up with all the spark gear and the crown that gives you hp for gaining lightning charges, giving him 9hp each time he injures an enemy with a spell or cantrip. He's gone from my squishiest to one of my tankiest pcs.
1:10:00 There is also a fallen stool on the top floor of the tower that you can stand up and sit on. You get 25 strength. If you tear off a leg and use it as a club you still get 19 strength
7:09 I wasn't happy to give up my Iron Flask, but it's only a one-time use item, so you get more by being able to trade with them. (Love Gloves of Thievery.

There may also be the ability to summon Us the Intellective Devourer which looks like a cat to everyone else, Shovel the Quasit familiar, and best boy Scratch the dog (and an Owlbear cub).
There is a dagger on a skeleton in the worg cages where you save Halcin that gives goblins disadvantage on attack rolls against you, very useful in clearing the gob camp
Another thing to mention besides gear/level progression with the Silver Sword of the Astral Plane is that it apparently completely messes up Lae'zel's dialogue since she suddenly thinks she's in late Act 3 if you give it to her... So besides being way too strong, it also destroys immersion and story progression to boot.
@@aeriagloris4211 When you see Voss and his Red Dragon heading into the mountain pass, you can make him "drop" his sword before getting into dialogue. The sword is seriously OP and turns Lae'zel into a powerhouse dps.
Or... Don't give it to Lae'zel. Give it to another member can cast disguise on them to make them Gith. Wait till act 3 to give it to her. Gonna test tonight and should solve the issue.
The amulet Kagha drops when you kill her is good for the whole game. She'll give you a staff if you spare her, but only if you're a druid, and the rewards for being nice don't compare to the amulet.
the merchants refresh any time a character levels up. clean them out every level you add during a respec, and do the same with your hirelings. you can just steal the money back from Withers anyway.
Keep the Guidance amulet. Since guidance is concentration, you can not have that and enhance ability up at the same time from the same caster/cleric. This way you can have the guidance amulet on someone else and get the benefit of guidance and advantage (from enhance ability). Super helpful for those more difficult rolls.
I like the Club of Hill Giant Strength, which increases strength to 19. Sadly not a bonus weapon, but it is a “light” weapon, so you can dual wield it in the off hand. This makes none finesse weapons feasible for weaklings like my bard and improves jump range, carry capacity and str checks. It can be found on the top level of the arcane tower, part of a stool you can break to get it.
the elixir of giant hill strength are a better choice, that way you can equip weapons with other traits, use a thief to steal from the druid merchant and use the money to buy the elixir's from aunty ethel in act 1 before she leaves the grove.
You can kill the flaming fist soldiers at Wankeen´s Rest. One of them has a greatsword that gives you 1d4 to hit a wounded target. With the great weapon master feat that should deal more avarage damage than the everburn blade.
If you decide not to fight the big spider in act 1 and miss your chance at the amethyst, it does show up again in act 3 so you still have a chance to open the book.
Hey thank you for this, I missed more than half these items in here and I thought I was good to go through the mountains, happy l found your video! Great voice by the way 🤙
I used the amulet of misty step on my warlock through endgame... there was another item that also gave me a free mistystep too... awesome items, kept me from having to expend a spell slot to survive and allowed me to focus on damage dealing warlock stuff.
The war horn can be very usefull when clearing the goblin camp , especially in tacticien difficulty. I used it two time to clear the entire boss area and they never turned on me ,you just have to pass some persuasion check and youve got 3 big boy ramming into theese goblins
Sovereign Glut wasn't the true leader of the Myconid Colony here. His was massacred by the drow and druegar. He asks you to kill Spaw to take his colony.
Bro, here's a tip for refreshing vendors. Respec at Withers, staying lvl 1 go to vendor, buy, level up once, buy, repeat last 2 steps. You can respec entire party for one huge buyout. Enjoy)
the easist way to get the idol is once you have invis spell use it steal it done. Its most easily done after killing the goblin leaders after most the druids have left near where its at but you can steal it as soon as you get invis i've done it a few times
You can knock Minthara unconcious, still steal her stuff (though no parasite) and you will see her in Act 2 and possibly get her as a "good" companion. You can also still steal her weapon and armour I believe
dont forget "right click > send to camp" I pick up every fire wine, water, and especially OIL BARRELS and send them to camp I have hundreds of each for shenanigans.
Instead of having to rely on create water just search every barrel you come across in the game to find “water” bottles. You can throw them at or NEAR enemies to make them wet and douse groups. So you can switch to an alternative character to make them wet for your lightning damage dealer
I agree with you that there are some items that you might be able to find a way to get early that should be left for when they expect you to get them, like Helldusk Armour for example. I recently saw a video on how to get the Shapeshifter's Boon Ring, while still in the Druid Grove. My first thought was this is one of those items that should wait until you are intended to get it. But while watching the video the developers have actually put in a way to get the ring, buy back your reputation with the ox, and still get the act 3 item when it is time. If they put in all that effort, it almost looks like they intended you to get the right at the beginning of the game.
Blurg also sells the Psychic Spark amulet that lets you shoot an ADDITIONAL missile dart when you cast magic missile as well as cast magic missile at 3rd level once per long rest. You may have to rest or level up to refresh his inventory.
Spellsparkler is a ridiculous weapon for a pure damage caster build, using it and the ring that adds 2 radiant damage on every hit allows magic missile to become a higher damage spell than Disintegrate upcasted to 6th level, provided you are an evocation wizard for the feature of adding your int modifier to evocation spells which adds to each individual missile. Each missile does 1d4+6 force, 2 radiant, and 1 lightning plus 2 procs of the lightning charge burst adding 2d8 lightning. So a total of 8d4+48 force + 16 radiant + 8 lightning +2d8 lightning. After mathing it does between 76-120 damage for a 6th level spell slot
The battle right outside the druid grove when you first enter. The head goblin drops gloves that give +1 to slight of hand. Astarian uses them the whole game.
I found out it u make karlach thief and barb , and give her the legendary trident from jungle u can end up with 4 throws that deals aoe dmg, and the trident returns every throw , so ye try this out its rly rly good
Nice video! There was an item I had overlooked and I went back and picked it up, thanks to you. Regarding Adamantine forge items, you forgot to mention the shield. The 2 armors and the shield are all good options (sadly, can only craft two). I agree the weapons aren't worth it, they get outclassed very quickly in act 1.5 and in early Act 2.
I only had two pieces of mithral and I had a gut feeling that the weapon this wouldn't be as good of an option as the armors so I went with the medium armor and shield and was very pleased.
I gave the Everburn Blade to Karlach and still use it in act 3. I would also recommend getting the Spell Thief if your character is a caster of any sort that can use Longbows (High Elf or Wood Elf for Longbow proficiency regardless of class. Bards, Clerics, Druids, Eldritch Knight Fighters, Paladins, Rangers, Arcane Trickster Rogues, Sorcerers, Warlocks, and Wizards). It may be just a level one spell that can be regained with it once per short rest, but in act one that level one spell can mean the difference between victory and tpk.
My astarion is really a full ranger now even though he's technically full rogue. Hits like a truck with this one feat for bows I think it's called all in?
@@aeriagloris4211 Sharpshooter. It's a great feat. It subtracts 5 from your attack roll (excluding nat 20s) and adds 10 to your damage. It works on Crossbows as well as Long and Shortbows. I haven't had a chance to test it (will roll a Dex build archery fighter for the extra feat at level 6) but at least in the tabletop it pairs nicely with crossbow expert. And the extra 2 damage for the archery fighting style isn't really worth it imo. It does help though.
@@cmwinchell the +2 from Archery Fighting Style isn't to damage it's to attack rolls. It's the most powerful thing you can choose for an archer character after sharpshooter since it literally removes almost half of the hit penalty that sharpshooter places on you.
@@CAiNiAC my mistake. You're completely correct on that one. I still don't take the Archery Fighting Style unless I roll an archery build Fighter (and then at level 10 when you get the second fighting style). I don't see the bonus as really advantageous since your proficiency modifier increases as you level and you should have at least +1 if not +2 weapons by level 10.
@@cmwinchell all good, I've been wrong about plenty myself. Though I have to disagree about its value. If your characters primary source of damage is ranged then archery style should be worked in somewhere. It's just too good, doubly so for pairing with sharpshooter. It's better to go further positive into hit rather than just look to negate the -5. The biggest increase to damage is minimizing misses. In my last honor mode I gave Shart 2 lvls of cleric and 2 of ranged at the beginning. That with a plus one bow and she's actually one of the most reliable party members for consistently hitting while being able to be a bless bot for the other 3 to do the same.
If you're near the start of the game and you can pass the conversation to get Lumps war horn, go straight to the Gnoll fight with Flynt or the Paladin fight for Karlach. Both enemy groups do a ton of damage and can wear out the ogres if not kill them outright
For the ogres, the bosses of the goblin camp do a great job of killing most them. You can finish the last ogre in the courtyard where the chicken race began. They can swarm the ogre and you can then drop some dagger swarms or fireball on the lot of them.
An important thing about Phalar Aluve is that it is the only Longsword with the Finesse property, meaning it's the only melee weapon a Rogue can use for Sneak Attack that can have a d10 damage die. I assume you'll be saving The Light of Lathander for your Act 3 video, as well. It's so weird to me that multiple +3 weapons are available in Act 1. Now, discussion time: What cool characters have you guys made? What's their roleplaying theme/gimmick? What gear did you use to flesh them out? I'll answer in the replies, too.
I made what I've come to call my Spider Knight. The key piece of gear to the build requires that they be a Drow. I'll break him down a bit: - Drow - Ranger: Ranger Knight, Wasteland Wanderer: Fire - Fighting Style: Duelling - Beast Master: Wolf Spider companion (Can use web every turn to make the battlefield a nightmare. Bite attack can Poison enemies, and it gets more damage from your Hunter's Mark) - Bounty Hunter - Wasteland Wanderer: Poison Focus STR and CON, with WIS third. By 8th level, I've only taken Ability Score Improvements for my feats. I currently have 18 STR, 16 CON, and 16 WIS, with only 10 DEX and CHA, and 8 INT. Important gear: - A good Heavy Armor (I've got the Adamantine Splint) - Grymskull Helm (purely for the free Hunter's Mark) - Disintegrating Night Walkers (for walking on webs with impunity) - Poisoner's Gloves (even if your attack doesn't have a chance to Poison the enemy, as long as you do Poison damage, the gloves will force a saving throw. If the enemy fails, they're poisoned.) Now, the central piece of the build: - Cruel Sting: Longsword+1 - 1d8(1d10)+STR Slashing damage and... Sting the Helpless: A Drow elf wielding this weapon deals an additional 1d4 Poison damage against Restrained targets. This is why you need the Wolf Spider, although Entangle, Ensnaring Strike, and Web can all help with this ability. The sword itself also has Ensnaring Strands: Your attack conjures thick, sticky webbing that possibly Enwebs your target(s).
There's a completely mind-blowing series of fantasy books called the Malazan book of fallen, there's a badass character in these books called Anomander Rake who has incredibly black skin, wields a legendary two handed sword and also is an incredibly powerful magic user. He's ancient and a leader of his race. I made him in the game and he looks perfect, unroll playing that he has amnesia and ended up in this strange realm, slowly regaining his strength. he's full fighter right now at level 6 with a two handed sword, I'm trying to find a way to make him more of a spell sword, like melee focused but with some ability to buff, if you have any tips.
So many people seem to sleep on keeping the "Idol of Silvanus" instead of giving it away. Keeping it in your inventory gives you an arua buff of "Silvanus' Blessings" which is a condition that gives everyone in 25ft proficiency in "Nature" & "Animal Handling". Which granted aren't the most uned proficiencies. But still cool.
Good video, my only complaint is that it’s kinda everywhere it would’ve been cool if you rearranged em so the viewer could do them in order, almost like a guide.
spellsparkler + magic missle is crazy, add on the magic missile amulet from blurg in the underdark and its even better. Will usually proc the spellsparklers extra d8 damage giving you an extra 10 damage per 3-4 magic missiles.
2 items for Emerald Glade: #1 if you sneak by Dammon you can steal a +1 Breastplate from a crate, you will need to pass a DC15 persuasion/intimidation/deception check to keep it #2 you can still get sorrow if you betray the glade, you will need to talk to nettie when you first enter the druid's cave to rescue the girl from Kagdah and ask her for help, she will open the library door for you to have "a private talk" and give you a wyvern poison... then when you betray the glade you kill rath and he drops the wolf plate and with the library open to you you can still open the hidden stash to grab it
Actually you don’t have to talk with Nettie at all, just go full on murderhobo and take her circlet-then stand by the closed door and equip it, it will open since that is the “key” that she uses. Avoids triggering a fight with the grove early and some companion disapproval for agreeing to her terms.
I have more money than I can spend just from selling weapons and armor. $10k+ in act 1 after buying everything I want. No need to pickpocket. Just fight and send everything to camp to sell later.
Way off topic (kind of) but that MapleStory music you're using in the beginning of the video was nostalgic lol. I used to play that game obsessively. I think it's from Ellinia?

@@CAiNiAC my mistake. You're completely correct on that one. I still don't take the Archery Fighting Style unless I roll an archery build Fighter (and then at level 10 when you get the second fighting style).
I don't see the bonus as really advantageous since your proficiency modifier increases as you level and you should have at least +1 if not +2 weapons by level 10.
@@cmwinchell all good, I've been wrong about plenty myself. Though I have to disagree about its value. If your characters primary source of damage is ranged then archery style should be worked in somewhere. It's just too good, doubly so for pairing with sharpshooter. It's better to go further positive into hit rather than just look to negate the -5. The biggest increase to damage is minimizing misses.
In my last honor mode I gave Shart 2 lvls of cleric and 2 of ranged at the beginning. That with a plus one bow and she's actually one of the most reliable party members for consistently hitting while being able to be a bless bot for the other 3 to do the same.
If you're near the start of the game and you can pass the conversation to get Lumps war horn, go straight to the Gnoll fight with Flynt or the Paladin fight for Karlach. Both enemy groups do a ton of damage and can wear out the ogres if not kill them outright
I see that maplestory music my dude 🤟 what a bop.
hell yea 💯
You should refuse helping the monk, that way you get very rare version of the sentient amulet, which is not cursed.
I can't handle the "You know what I'm saying..." line over and over again.
Thanks, dude, great job!
Great work on this!
theres a halberd in act 1 called the skin burster, and its real good on a barbarian or fighter with blade ward for damage mitigation.
I've seen quite a few BG3 early game tips videos, that get butt ass naked before getting beat down buff has to be the best one yet.
🤣
Ok Jeff Goldblum. Thank you these are great!
🤣🤣🤣
I love the Maple Story background music so much.
For the ogres, the bosses of the goblin camp do a great job of killing most them. You can finish the last ogre in the courtyard where the chicken race began. They can swarm the ogre and you can then drop some dagger swarms or fireball on the lot of them.
Thanks for this vid I missed a lot of these items, with the Orge int item I now got a monk with all stats over 17 except CHA at act one
Just curious...how?
@@crisholder3390lol no you didn't
daaaang that's an in depth video. did you do the other acts?

Great video! You sound just like Rob Schneider! Awesome!
An important thing about Phalar Aluve is that it is the only Longsword with the Finesse property, meaning it's the only melee weapon a Rogue can use for Sneak Attack that can have a d10 damage die.
I assume you'll be saving The Light of Lathander for your Act 3 video, as well. It's so weird to me that multiple +3 weapons are available in Act 1.
Now, discussion time: What cool characters have you guys made? What's their roleplaying theme/gimmick? What gear did you use to flesh them out?
I'll answer in the replies, too.
I made what I've come to call my Spider Knight. The key piece of gear to the build requires that they be a Drow. I'll break him down a bit:
- Drow
- Ranger: Ranger Knight, Wasteland Wanderer: Fire
- Fighting Style: Duelling
- Beast Master: Wolf Spider companion (Can use web every turn to make the battlefield a nightmare. Bite attack can Poison enemies, and it gets more damage from your Hunter's Mark)
- Bounty Hunter
- Wasteland Wanderer: Poison
Focus STR and CON, with WIS third. By 8th level, I've only taken Ability Score Improvements for my feats. I currently have 18 STR, 16 CON, and 16 WIS, with only 10 DEX and CHA, and 8 INT.
Important gear:
- A good Heavy Armor (I've got the Adamantine Splint)
- Grymskull Helm (purely for the free Hunter's Mark)
- Disintegrating Night Walkers (for walking on webs with impunity)
- Poisoner's Gloves (even if your attack doesn't have a chance to Poison the enemy, as long as you do Poison damage, the gloves will force a saving throw. If the enemy fails, they're poisoned.)
Now, the central piece of the build:
- Cruel Sting: Longsword+1 - 1d8(1d10)+STR Slashing damage and...
Sting the Helpless: A Drow elf wielding this weapon deals an additional 1d4 Poison damage against Restrained targets.
This is why you need the Wolf Spider, although Entangle, Ensnaring Strike, and Web can all help with this ability. The sword itself also has Ensnaring Strands: Your attack conjures thick, sticky webbing that possibly Enwebs your target(s).
Why would he save that for act 3? It's not in act 3. He just completely left out any items involving L's questline. I guess he's never quested there.
I kept thinking I had skipped a bunch of weapons and armor because I didn’t have to change them for a long time
@@androidkenIt could be he considers the Crèche area part of act 2. Easy mistake to make.
There's a completely mind-blowing series of fantasy books called the Malazan book of fallen, there's a badass character in these books called Anomander Rake who has incredibly black skin, wields a legendary two handed sword and also is an incredibly powerful magic user. He's ancient and a leader of his race.
I made him in the game and he looks perfect, unroll playing that he has amnesia and ended up in this strange realm, slowly regaining his strength.
he's full fighter right now at level 6 with a two handed sword, I'm trying to find a way to make him more of a spell sword, like melee focused but with some ability to buff, if you have any tips.
New drinking game: take a shot everytime he says “know what I’m saying”
So many people seem to sleep on keeping the "Idol of Silvanus" instead of giving it away.
Keeping it in your inventory gives you an arua buff of "Silvanus' Blessings" which is a condition that gives everyone in 25ft proficiency in "Nature" & "Animal Handling". Which granted aren't the most uned proficiencies. But still cool.
You can do the dialogue for the Absolute Brand on all of your characters with Priestess Gut.
Good video, my only complaint is that it’s kinda everywhere it would’ve been cool if you rearranged em so the viewer could do them in order, almost like a guide.
Love the videos man, keep it up!
34:30 you can just cast darkness steal it and go to camp
The alternative to this buff is to not get it, and instead keep Volo in your camp so you can pickpocket him every long rest 28:26
Love the video and the maplestory music 😁
spellsparkler + magic missle is crazy, add on the magic missile amulet from blurg in the underdark and its even better. Will usually proc the spellsparklers extra d8 damage giving you an extra 10 damage per 3-4 magic missiles.
Yes, my good man, I do know what you're sayin'
God I miss maplestory, solid choice of background music my friend. Ellina was always my spot
Interesting takes on some of these items.. y'know what I'm saying?
2 items for Emerald Glade:
#1 if you sneak by Dammon you can steal a +1 Breastplate from a crate, you will need to pass a DC15 persuasion/intimidation/deception check to keep it
#2 you can still get sorrow if you betray the glade, you will need to talk to nettie when you first enter the druid's cave to rescue the girl from Kagdah and ask her for help, she will open the library door for you to have "a private talk" and give you a wyvern poison... then when you betray the glade you kill rath and he drops the wolf plate and with the library open to you you can still open the hidden stash to grab it
Actually you don’t have to talk with Nettie at all, just go full on murderhobo and take her circlet-then stand by the closed door and equip it, it will open since that is the “key” that she uses. Avoids triggering a fight with the grove early and some companion disapproval for agreeing to her terms.
Ring of Protection
For some reason Volo never ran away for me, so I was able to get his eye on my entire party. Made Act 2 hella easy.
6:00 You neglected to mention which quest has the lightning weapon rewards.
19 hrs in and just searched for a vid and first thing i see i missed a dope ass sword oh well
I have more money than I can spend just from selling weapons and armor. $10k+ in act 1 after buying everything I want. No need to pickpocket. Just fight and send everything to camp to sell later.
Thank you 🖤
Not sure if you missed the Cheeky Quasit Scroll and how to guide for permanent
I got that scroll but I haven't used it, is there something special about?
I think you missed the strength stool club that makes your strength 19 in the arcane tower, easily the most op item in act 1
Not sure if anyone knows 😅but I found a shape-shifting ring from the strange ox in the grove,it exploded with acid what the hell was it?
Wow this is a great video. SO much stuff. I have found so much and still saw several items on here I need to check out
For the chest behind the door that can’t be lock-picked: use the lever with mage hand
Recognized maplestory music so insta liked
bro playing maple story music in the background
Yes we do, in fact, know what you’re saying.
The game never says when act 1 ends and act 2 begins
What's the common consensus say? I'm trying to delay goblin camp as much as possible.
@@yharnamiyhill787 goblin camp is definitely act 1
@@rja9784 but completing it and going to the moonrise is act 2?
@@yharnamiyhill787 I think act 2 starts after you leave the underdark bit who knows
Your Music is Maple Story Lover!
Way off topic (kind of) but that MapleStory music you're using in the beginning of the video was nostalgic lol. I used to play that game obsessively. I think it's from Ellinia?
