If you are in Moonrise Tower with Gale, and find the secret room in Balthazar bedroom, you can have him destroy a dark rune to gain a permanent Advantage on Concentration checks.
Not perm. It’s just till long rest.
@deathshade777 confirmed? The +20 hp covered at end of the video also says till long rest, but it stays on through the long rest. The concentration long rest May be the same
Does having gales hand count?
@@inyobase127 It stays until long rest, but the buff is reset every long reset as well. It is effectively a free temporary 20 HP every long rest.
@@GKNomu "My stomach had the rumblies that only HANDS could satisfy!"
If you save the Tiefling child in Act1, you csn find her in the cemetary in Act 2. Finishing her questline will give you an Entangle undead spell
The new eye Volo gives you matches "Blue 3", for those who want the buff and want both eyes the same.
i have hair that covers the right eye so i dont even see it lol
Thank you
Important note on the Tharchiate Vigour: It is, in fact, permanent. After each long rest, the buff resets, giving you 20 more temporary hit points. Or so it did, at least on my first playthrough.
Thats how it worked for me too.
You need to finish reading the necromancy of thay and get the skill to summon ghouls every long rest as well
Same here. I thought it was a "one time until first long rest" kind of thing, but on both my play-throughs it was permanent and "reset" after each long rest. BTW: Finishing the Necromany is not what gives you the debuff (or, eventually, the buff). It's reading that codex you find inside the sorcerer's vault. On my second play-through, I paid a bit more attention to this. I read the codex (that enables you to finish reading the Necromancy) and *that's* what gave me the curse/debuff. I then used Shadowheart to lift the curse before I touched the Necromany again and that removed the debuff and turned it into the Vigour-buff. After that, I finished reading the Necromancy and got the "Danse Macabre"-ability for it.
yeah, just removing curse on urself will change the debuf to Tharchiate Vigour. love the buff, and it is indeed permanent. once u lose the health points, they won't come back until the long rest, thats what the long rest does with that permanent buff. unless my shiz was just bugged.
Important note on the Hag. She will NOT initiate the dialog to beg for her life if she is silenced. So if you do have her trapped/pinned where she can't move out of Silence (like a lot of people do), just be sure to end the Silence spell when she's at 13ish XP in order to trigger the dialog.
Or, you can also active to your passive to avoid kill ennemies and throw a potion on her body when she is knock out and then the dialogue will start. That worked for me
Also while we talk about hag, unbroken promises is permanent buff +2 str BUT every long rest you get -1 thereafter. Solution? Use it on final fight or just jump to death because the buff is removed thru death
Oh shoot, thanks man, i like 70 hours past that, but i saved when she had liike 10 hp, and canceled the silence then, and i could not even knock her out, she straight died and i was so confused why she did not give me the hair, thought it was cuz i was paladin and told her the special paladin line before the fight
@@yvanbayer1259 You are right, the funny thing is the game is even helping you early on, this is the exact zone (the masked controlled elves part) where you get the first ever tooltip of how to toggle non-lethal attacks. It's like they don't want you to miss the dialogue and have a chance at it. Unfortunately even with that, a lot will probably silence kill her, so it's likely that at least 50% of playerbase missed the dialogue on first playthrough.
you can simply do remove curse with a cleric@@tangahkoncek6841
If you succeed on all the saves in the Githyanki Creche Infirmary, you get a permanent buff making your Illithid powers use Bonus Actions instead of Actions.
If you Purge the memory of a Githzerai Mind in the Necromantic Laboratory part of the Mind Flayer Colony in act 2, you get a permanent Githzerai Mind Barrier, which gives advantage on int saves.
oh so that's what the machine at the creche did, I never could find what the buff I got from it was :P
damn, good thing I paused there! Now I'm gonna save scum this baby
Damn, I actually succeeded the saving throws but I wanted Lae alive so I reloaded and let her into the machine
How and where to purge Githerzai Mind?
Do you still get the -2 permanent stat loss if you succeed the checks ? Because it not something you can cure like other curses.
If you allow the torture expert, the follower of Loviatar, found in the goblin camp in act 1, to beat you and you make the skill checks, you gain a pernamnet buff called Loviatar's love which gives you a +2 to attack rolls and a +3 to wisdom saving throws when your hp is at 30% or lower.
Damn. I let him beat me and then he ran away because my rangers bear was out....I guess this is knowledge for playthrough #2
It's only pernament for act 1.
Seriously you people that havent finished the game need to stop saying these lies.
@@patrik3482I'm in act 3 and have had that buff throughout the game, not sure what you're talking about.
@@mari-anneThere must be either a bug associated with the buff or some way of losing it because I lost the buff before I even finished act 1. Possibly if your character dies and has to be revived…?
Its permament permament, the only way you lose it is if the character that has it has a perma death, as in grey skull and stuff, which in insanely rare to happen and if that happens you are probably beyond losing the fight so just reload.@@patrik3482
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but you can more easily access the karsus and elminster’s vaults by using the level 2 transmutation spell "knock", locks removed :)
haha… I did this right away and thought that’s how it’s done. Those unlock/lock spells can be pretty handy.
Yeah, but that's a level 2 spell slot for each cast, I got better things to spend those on.
Okay, not really, I ended up with way too much food without spending any camp supplies ever, I could've long rested whenever I want, but..... Idk, feels wasteful.
@@lubomirkompis9441jack some scrolls from upstairs, then
In the sorcerer's vault, there are 2 hidden chests both in each elminsters and karsus' room. Use see invisibility or the potion to unveil them. They have a hammer and a helmet among other things in them!
There's also two secret rooms behind illusory walls in the path to the *Ramazzith* door behind a chest in each of the antechambers. One has another book with a unique scroll in it (summon Deva) and the other has a Djinni's lamp
@@jackdixon6681 also when you warp for open the karsus and elminster room the "illusion" door can be destroyed there is another room there
If you absorb the power of the githyanki creche parasite removal machine, all your illithid powers permanently become bonus actions (instead of full actions)
-furiously taking notes-
Getting this tattooed i
Ehh how to absorb it?
@@bazelgoose9247 very hard will check, 20-30. you'll need buffs to pass it
@@bazelgoose9247 You need to pass a DC 30 Arcana dialogue check.
FYI, the gauntlets of Power found from the goblin boss to open the Druid Grove also gives you +1 to all kinds of saves and skill checks.
Be aware that if you are romancing Astarion during the Araj interaction for the potion, him biting Araj will end your relationship with him. ALSO this +2 bonus to strength you get can level your strength past 20, which is useful because that can increase your strength modifier from +5 to +6
Iirc you can save your relationship after the bite, but I only read about this, didn't test it myself yet.
you can save your relationship with him, just have a good trust level with him.
Araj Oblodra can give you a second type of permanent bluff, if you have Astarion in your party, and have a romance with him, but you decide to NOT make him DRINK her tainted blood - you can met Araj in Act 3 again, and then she can give you a potion, which would add your blood some "explosive" features. It can be light up by flames, to burn your enemies. Also she can act as a trader for you, if chosen the proper dialogs (she needs your blood for experiments), but it won't give any stat boosts, so you will lose those.
This kind of actions doesn't end your relationship with Astarion, and - while i personally think it's less good, than the other potion - you still can get some bonus out from it.
@@Senok13 You can still get the explosive blood potion without being in a relationship with him, and having already taken the +2 STR potion.
You can save your relationship with him if you hug him instead of fug him
This game cured my depression by 10 hp shit is goated
I got these
Removed status: Depression
Received status: Sleep deprived (cause I can't stop playing)
An important thing to note, the temp hp you get from the book in the last section of this video, it refreshes once after every long rest. It's pretty useful if you know you're going to be going into a boss fight, and the buffer is pretty nice regardless because it's less healing you need to use of squishy characters, like casters, between long rests. You also get a very powerful summoning spell from doing this that lets you target a dead humanoid body and call up to six ghouls to aid you in combat. Throw all of this on a character like an oath breaker paladin, who can burst down a single target with a couple of all in great weapon master auto crit smites from mind flayer/item powers, and you have a tanky undead leader who can swarm a room with a troupe of undead, that can paralyze humanoid enemies and split the fire focuses of huge encounters.
Small Edit: As of the last patch, the summon spell is pretty nerfed. You only summon 4 ghouls now instead of 6, and you don't control them anymore. They're considered "allies", and aren't healed by things like mass healing word, and I think they may have neerfed the ghouls hp as well, I cant remember what it was at before, but I think it was something like 49, and now it's 20.
The 20 temp HP comes back on every long rest. I’ve got it on my tank character and every morning I wake up with an extra 20 HP. It’s really nice
It seems to work only inconsistently for me. Definitely not every long rest. Just... some of them.
You dont need to remove the curse for the book. Once you get it, read Necromancy of Thay once again and it will provide you with a buff. It also resets every day, which means once per long rest you get additonal 20 HP not just once overall.
You also get a spell to summon 6 ghouls, called Danse Macabre.
@@Spicy189.They are op, 6 chances to paralyse.
@@VikCachat Guess what Orin isn't immune to?
Like most bosses, (Looking at you raphel, whole ass theme song just to do notihng) hold monster.@@Drikonn
It seems really hit-and-miss as to when that 20 HP applies. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Haven't worked out why.
God I love this game. I'm pushing 200 hours and I'm still learning new things and seeing new content. There's so much re-playability.
The wizard buff is permanent kicks in after every rest. Also having shar cast aid and heroes feast at level 5 after every long rest is 40 extra HP on each person in your party even summons
Honestly, how powerful the Potion from Moonrise tower is just makes me belive more that Larian wanted to have powerfull stuff in the game that would come with consequences, but just ended up scrapping the consequences alltogether for time sake... (same with the tadpole. Using it in Act one always implied that its a risk, but there is 0 downside from using it all the time, same with the Mirror in Act 3, that its just a curse, you can super easy get rid of makes me think they either didnt want or didnt have time to finish those things))
Having read the tharchiate tome and re-reading the necromancy of thay let you access the most broken spell in the game. It let you summon 6 ghouls for the price of only an action (no corpses needed) and refresh every short rest. I don't know if you need to have encountered the Lich but he's the one who gave me the quest to get the tharchiate tome after finding out I read the necromancy of thay
You don’t need to talk to him I just read it when I was breaking into the bank for another quest
Also after reading the book again, your raise dead gets two new summons, ghouls and winged ghouls. They stack with the new skill you recieve as well, so you can have up to 8-10 undead at a time if you have enough bodies to utilize.
The ghouls paralyze on hit with a save, which is busted.
My pally/lock used the ghouls before engaging Raphael. Had one of them land a hit to paralyze him, then took my pally into melee. Paralyzed mobs are guaranteed to be hit, and guaranteed to be crit, so I melee’d 3 times, crit three times, which meant 3 lvl3 smites which also crit.
I took him from like 650hp to just above 300 in a single turn, it was amazing
@@doctorlumina892that only happens because you upcast it to level 5 instead of 3
Dualhand!, use the cambion summon sword that you get from saving mizora and the shadowlantern, now you can have ghouls. Wraith and cambion WEEEEEE, on a spore druid cleric for extra living weapon and woodland dyrad
The book in elminister’s vault, allows you to further read the book of necromancy which will give u access to a lvl5 evocation spell that allows you to summon 6 ghouls.
Is necromancy worth it?
I like your spirit, but you've got it a little mixed up; the book in the Elminster's vault curses the one that reads it. Upon dispelling the curse that character gets +20 temporary health for the remainder of that day and after each long rest. The lvl 5 evocation spell is located in Karsus' vault.
@@puhoyzzee4364 a 5th level spell would summon 1 ghoul, Thay does 6 which is 2x level 6 upcast of the spell. It is insanely powerful. Necromancy in general is very strong but tedious to play because you need to control way too many characters.
@@alexanderhellinger6062He is talking about gaining the ability to finish the Necromancy of Thay, from act one, which is in the book about Thayan necromancy you find in act 3. Finishing the last page of Necromancy of Thay gives the ghoul ability.
@@alexanderhellinger6062 the book gives you a necromancy spell not evocation he confused the types but it is insane how strong it is
If you use the mind reading machine in mind flayer colony with the first mind jar you find in the tutorial ship, you get a permanent buff to int saving throws
I was kicking myself for not having those brains in inventory when I did the colony. I had them back at camp and couldn’t fast transport back!
Bruh I completely missed that on my playthrough. This game has so much content.
With the first "mind item" you find. What item is that?
Yeah what’s the mind item y’all are talking about?
That's the githzerai mind? You can get the same one from the mind item in the locked door behind the brain puzzle iirc.
The 3 ogres in the blighted village. One drops a head piece that sets intelligence to 17. I convinced them to fight for me for gold, had them help me with the big metal dude at the grymforge and they made a very noble sacrifice. Good headpiece and great armor in one go.
For some reason the 20 hp buff was permanent for me, it refreshed after every long rest
this is intended. its permanent, temporary hp that resets after long rest. meaning once the 20 hp is gone for that given "day" its gone until you rest.
You can just use the spell that unlocks doors to open the mage vault doors, I love that spell so much
You can actually meet Araj Oblodra again in baldurs gate, this time she will give you a potion that changes it so whenever your character is hit in melee they explode and dmg all surrounding characters/items with fire damage.
For Auntie Ethel fight, you can use a rain spell on the cage to prevent the fire from destroying it or throw a water item like a water bottle or caraf of water etc etc
Or any ice spell
ray of frost worked for me
You can also just sneak to the button to free her before you start the fight
@@Zzarth Using create water or any thrown water gets Mayrina wet (ha) and then you can identify the hag super easy as she wont have the wet debuff when she takes Mayrinas form.
I just lower the cage and she steps out of it..
Then debuff hag to identify and work away.
Everyone: never make a deal with a hag!
The hag: you want power? 😈
Me: 🤔 go on... 👀
And then she gives you a a chunk of her flesh and hair and you eat it. You simp lol.
I killed her on my paladin and now I’m sad because I’ll just be a chump at 18 str now
@@JT-mt6ku you can add +6 through leveling so idk how u can be stuck on 18
Keeping her alive breaks my oath 😭
@@markrayanvaldez4136 🤔 oathbreaker power 😈
In ACT 1 goblin camp there is a torturer if you ask him to beat you up many times you will also gain permanent Lovistars buff that gives increased dmg and attack chance if you are below 30% hp
very good for somoene like barbarian
Only lasted until long rest for me
Wasnt permanent in my game
My experience is that it goes away if character dies. Downed is fine, but if you need to use revivify scroll buff is gone
Loviatar's Love! Remember to beg for him to stop and you'll get it. It's lasted the entire game for me.
same@@SVS304
you only lose buff that activates when low hp, upon rest, but you don't lose buff that triggers second buff on rest, only on death
If you buy the Ring of Mind shielding from Ourlmeeum (the friendly mindflayer in the underdark) in Act 1 and you wear it during the final encounter of the game, it gives you a hidden prompt in the final encounter of the game.
I havent been to the end yet but i knew it had more of a purpose than a shitty ring haha ;D
@@levitastic it actually is one of the most useful items for the final encounter too.
wow.. thanks for sharing that info.
@brodywoelke7820 How is it useful? Doesn't it stop you from using your Illithid powers which are pretty damn broken?
I've beaten the game already. But what does it do?
In act 1 at the goblin fort. There is an NPC in the room next to where the guy is being tortured. He is a priest of pain. If you let him beat you, you get a permanent buff to pain tolerance. (Edit: also make sure to have Shadowheart in your group when this happens and she gains a +1 of inspiration. She must be into some kinky stuff! Haha)
If you get to Act 3 and have a 4-some with the Drow Twins + Shadowheart, you will also learn more about her kinky side ;)
The priest of Loviatar. Indeed.
Worth noting that you shouldn't try to resist crying out in pain because a true believer is honest about the pain
At some point in the game, I lost this buff. I have no clue when it happened and maybe it was due to a bug.
@@dasuberpanda I've heard of some similar bugs that can be regained if you let the character die and then revive them.
- You can also gain a permanent +1 to Charisma from Patriar's Memory at the mirror of loss alongside the +2 to any stat. When you choose to sacrifice a stat there is a chance that you automatically get Patriar's Memory (or sometimes nothing at all) instead of a stat of your choosing. However to get both you have to make sure to get Patriar's Memory first, preferably before you offer a prayer, otherwise the mirror locks up for that character. You likely have to save scum.
- You can gain a permanent Tasha's Hideous Laughter spell if you accept to take on the Laughing Monk's curse and succeed the saving throws.
- You can let Priestess Gut brand you with the mark of the Absolute which adds a character tag that unlocks new dialog options and properties on certain Absolutist items.
I believe you can get permanent advantage on intelligence saving throws by interacting with githzerai brain in a jar using device beneath moonrise towers. Also, if you make a hefty donation in act 3 in the temple in lower city it gives +2 to all saving throws
It's about 5k gold or equivalent valued items per character, but you have to go and get the buff again after each long rest
Epic video and very helpful, keep it iup!
I do have a question tho. What's the soundtrack you were using in the background at 9:40? It sounds so cool
Wow,.. only I realized then that playing the mandolin together with the bard (without seeing the cut-scene) in the druids' sanctuary permanently teaches your character to play any instrument even without the talent.
Damn, didn't do that option since i thought my character would just fumble it terrible XD
I wanted her to finish it because it felt so much more rewarding, Feelsbadman
Outside the Hag's house is a well, if you drink you get 10hp until long rest, you can drink every day with every character and its in act 1 (the next day you will get a debuff that makes you sick )
reading that last book allows you to read the last page of the necromancy of they and gives you a skill to summon 6 ghouls on short rest
Also worth knowing you can read further in Necromancy of Thay after reading the Tharchiate Codex, If you succeed you're rewarded with a powerful spell Danse Macabre, probably one of the most broken abilities in the game
There are also some tadpole perma buffs:
- Omeluum in the Underdark unlocks a new ability.
- Going through with the githyanki extraction procedure makes tadpole powers cost bonus action instead of an action.
There may be more as well, but I am trying to do a 'pure' playthrough, where I avoid the tadpole powers like the plague :P
lol same because I'm doing my balanced jack of all trades playthrough and I want the illithid powers when I do my tactician playthrough.

Also important note on the Hag Hair. If you have it in your bag when the Owlbear cub first visits you at the camp for the first time, the cub will eat the hair. Don't be me and notice the item disappearing 6 hours after the encounter.
you missed two if i remeber correctly, theres a brain in a jar located in the end of the area filled with zombies in the end of act two that gives you an permanent upgrade , that blood drow gives a second permanent upgrade if you meet her in baldur's gate.
Nice vid! Question, any idea if you were to respec your character after obtaining these permanent attributes, do you lose out of those or do they stay with your character?
If you do quests for the myconids (mushroom people) in the underdark in Act 1 you get a "permanent" 1d6 to every d20 roll in that area (aka near their colony). You have to kill the duergar and glut and get promoted to kin spirit. You can't take it with you through the rest of the game though obviously. It's called something like "Bliss Spores".
I somehow forgot to talk to him before moving to act 2. I went back and was able to use the boost during talks and checks in the Light Inn.
@@bghost3636 Oh nice!
You also get a thing that lets you have a +2 to Charisma checks whenever you want if you have the item equipped
There's so much content in this game
Seeing you drink that potion when you were on 18 Str broke my heart. All you needed to do was hold onto it until your next ability score increase, then you can take it to 22 which you normally cant.
You didn’t mention explosive blood also given by the blood drow in act 3.
Since there is a HUGE rush by many "content creators" to cover the game "Baldur's Gate 3" there are a lot of bad videos to sort through to find any good ones. So far, your channel is my favorite for BG3 content. lol Keep it up please!
You forgot to add in ACT II worm extraction machine. If you use it yourself instead of Lezel, you get a perm buff of All worm actions counted as a bonus action.
There's a cultist of Loviatar in the goblin camp that can give you a permanent boost: while below 30% hp, you get +2 to attacks for 3 rounds
It IS 'permanent', but if you die in battle it is removed.
In auntie ethel "display" of people that seek into deals with her, DO NOT destroy a mirror, coz u gonna get a perma debuff (-1d4 on attack rolls)
Also when she changes into the girl use hold person but use it it will say it won't work on the real one since she isn't humanoid
It goes away with a long rest, but probably don't want to risk a long rest in the middle of a chase sequence. Sometimes long rests can mess with quests if the timing makes sense.
Not permanent
Not perma, disappears on long rest.
@@Zalgack Just look at her model. The Girl is pregnant and the Copy Ethel turns into is not. A simple but also nice little detail, but you could also just simply inspect or use other ways to determine who is who.
The "vigor buff" is not the main purpose of that book, that is a nice bonus you get on top of it. While you have the debuff, Tharciate withering, you read the necromancy of thay again and you get a spell to summon 5 ghouls. You are welcome :3
6 ghouls :D
if you keep the necromancy of thay into act3 you can talk to carion to help you decipher the last page and be able to summon 6 ghouls
For Auntie Ethel, can confirm that below 20 seems to do it. The threshold might even be higher. I haven't done the encounter enough times to figure out the exact value. Hopefully this will help some people avoid needing to reload a bunch. :)
My strat is to stop hitting her when she falls below 30 and let her have a turn to see if she surrenders. Both times I've done this my final hit brought her below 20 though so I haven't figured out if 30 is the threshold or not.
EDIT: Also might be able to toggle everyone to nonlethal attacks just in case? I was running a spellcaster heavy group; not sure if that works on spells.
I had nonlethal damage toggled, and her hp stopped at one, but that might have been coincidence. The last hit was really close and might have brought her to 1 naturally.
Also, she was silenced, and I had to drop the silence before the cutscene would trigger. Which makes sense. Great game.
Can confirm it doesn't work on spells. Accidentally killed one of the masked people that way, oops..
The threshold is about 10HP, and yes sometimes it doesn't trigger until 1-2 round later
The threshold changes based on the difficulty you're playing on. Explorer (easiest) is below 10hp. Tactician (hardest) is below 28hp.
@@aztraeuz ah that makes sense. Thanks!
You forgot Loviatar's blessing from Act 1. 'perform' with the masochitstic priest that offers to 'purify' you in the Goblin camp base and you will receive a buff when you are lower than X% of HP that you gain +2 attacks and +2 wisdom saves.
Don't stop him or cry out, perform and take it on the chin and you'll have that buff. Nice little bonus.
I just did this and its not a pain tolerance check by the way. It's actually the opposite, Loviatar is about the celebration of pain and you only get the buff through the performance checks. Trying to be stoic will result in you taking the damage and getting no reward.
You can go with all intimidation options and still get it as well.@@bloodfire1989
unfortunately, buff goes away once you die. Don't know if it's a bug or intended to be that way, but happened to my buddy. we play together on tactician. He fully died, and buff went away after i ressed him with scroll of revivify.
And get naked to improve rolls and add a little kink to it
Easily best perma upgrade is in the creche- if you pass all the checks for the 'healing' machine, all your illithid powers become bonus actions instead of actions letting you do absolutely bonkers things
Also you can get loviatar love in the goblin campo, from the S&M cleric that is a permanent buff pretty easy to take in act 1.
You don't need shadowheart for the house of grief. I did the entire thing even after she left bc I left her behind during her quest in act 2 lol
Thanks for the tips. I already got the first two ones in chapter 1 and the rest is yet to be discovered, so I skipped the video and saved it for later, because I don't want too many spoilers ahead of time (still in chapter 1).
The Volo interaction is hilarious! :D :D
There's one in the goblin camp in act one. There's a guy whipping himself in the dungeon, if you let him whip you for a while, it gives you a permanent buff.
Abdirak is a acolyte of pain in the goblin camp. If you indulge him through every dialog check and have him beat you down to 30% health, you get a permanent buff that gives you a better chance to hit and increased damage if you're ever before 30%. I thought it was until long rest but it followed me all the way until the end of the game.
Keep the necromancy of thay book!!! In act three you can have it give you the best necromancy spell in the game "dance macabre"
For the Necromancy of Thay if you struggle against the Spiders you can wait until you have finished all the Underdark quests (i.e. before progressing to the next act). I was level 6 by then and getting the Dark Amethyst was easy.
You can also complete the Underdark quests including forging the Adamantine items and then travel the overland route to the Moonrise Towers as well.
spider boss is easy to do at any level, you just lure her onto the webs between platforms then firebolt the webs to take 1/3rd of her health with fall damage, repeat until she dies
you can also kill her eggs before starting combat, using area-fire arrows (the consumable ones). that's also an easy way to get her achievement.
You can let the torturer in Act I in the Goblin City whip you to receive a perma buff when your hp is below 30%
It's removed after death unless it's a bug.
funny thing, when you talk about the last part of the game at the wizard shop in act 3
if we are includiong that, you can also drink from the hags well once to get a +10 hp at the very early part of the game, very useful to get to her and fight her if thats what you are interested in
I drove a stake through Astarion's heart the first time he tried to bite me
Under Moonrise Tower, you can talk to one of the Mind Items using the pedestal, and if you use the right one you can gain the Githzerai Mental Barrier, I can't remember exactly what it does, but I believe it gave you permanent advantage on intelligence saves?
Thanks I've been trying to find out what perma upgrades we can get in game
There's also the permanent buff that gives advantage and stuff when you're 30% less life. From the kinky guy in the Act 1 Goblin camp
1 call out is that if Strength is your primary ability it might be better to use ethel's hair elsewhere as there are gauntlets that let you reach 23 Str which wouldn't be possible through feats and modifiers otherwise.
Technically you could get your strenght to 20 and then drink the potion of everlasting vigour to get the same effect, usefull since there are also a pair of gloves that give +2 to attack and damage rolls
You can get a fighters strength to 24 through ASI + drow potion and the mirror in act 3.
Yea I was hitting myself in the butt when I found those 23 gloves in the house of hope. I think theres a con equivalent there too but as an amulet. Closest thing for dex was set at 18. I havent been able to find any other similar items that set your ability scores.
@@trytoo5167 rare clothing in act 2 (The Graceful Cloth) +2 dex (max 20) + perma cat's grace effect. Good for high dex classes, with bracers of defense and mage armor you can at least get 20AC. With the mirror in act 3 you can get to 22 dex (max 24).
Edit:
If starting scores are set correctly plus taking the hags +1 bonus it should be possible to hit 24 dex with two ASI and a feat with the clothing item and mirror.
@@trytoo5167 there is the dirtied headband of intelect from the smart ogre, that sets int to 17
If yourr playing gale aswell you can absorb the half spider guys body (in act 2 shadowlands) to get a shadow spell slot which is just another lvl 3 spell slot
if you have your body fall off a ledge, when you rez via wither, you lose the eye buff lol
There is also a permanent blessing if in the temple of selune if you let a certain cleric of ilmater do let's say a "Ritual" on you and succeed on all the checks
I only got the disavantage from necromancy of thay on a failed check (which vanished after a long rest - didnt saw anything on the patch notes saying they removed this). If you pass all the 3 DCs you dont get any debuffs from what I have seen.
This'll really help with builds that waste feats on ability improvements
It might be a bug, but the elminster 20+ hp buff stays on my character permanently. It's just that, when it is depleted, it is gone UNTIL I long rest again. But when you wake from a long rest, it is recast on you
The temp HP points restore every long rest. It's a huge buff, especially for a wizard
Ty. Makes the job more easier.
350Hrs and i never found the house of grief/ mirror of loss even though i went deep with shadowheart. This game is incredibly large. Can easily miss things or never even find them/ do something that removes all chance of finding an item. Best game ive played since Skyrim came out
not sure but if I think Volo died and you looted him, having the eye on you also helps to see the invisible. At least that's how it was for me one game run, so didnt need to sacrifice a pretty eye. or unique eye in the case of the Dragonborns flamey eyes
Another source of ability buff that is insane for rangers and rogues is a set of gloves you can buy from the quartermaster in the Githyanki Creche. This increase your Dexterity to 18! I respeced my character and dropped my dexterity to the minimum of 8 and these gloves still brought it up to 18. Really good if you want to give yourself more Constitution or other states at base.
Where's that? act?
seems much better for everyone besides rogues/rangers. you're going to want 22 dex.
@@JoshuaKevinPerry act 1 mountain pass
In Act 2 at the Githyanki Creche, make sure you visit the Quarter Master and buy gear from her before you progress the story @@JoshuaKevinPerry
Also Ester trader nearby sell the armor +2 dex +cat grace making it 20 dex for any dump gish, my reccomedation is monk 7 /warlock 5 since warlock extra attack bugged and stack to martial extra attack focus your stats into wisdom charisma and then cons
Drueger is good for enlarge, shapeshift as drow for act1 ease
Be aware, if you are romancing Astarion and you make him drink the drow's blood for the elixir, he will break up with you, no talking him out of it.
The +2 STR CAN BE USED on a 20 STR character it will break the limit and net you a 22 STR character ( 24 with Mirror , if you do i reccomend trying to sacrificing you CON and use the amulet that makes you CON to become 23, i havent tried that yet so if you do and it work please let me know )
They are also gloves that give you 23 str. So it might not be the best stat to put your perma buff on (the gloves will make them useless unless you want to reach more than 23)
@@lucidd4103 well if u wanna use the glove slot for something better getting 22 STR ( almost the same as 23 in combat atleast ) then it still good , also in party with 2 str hitters like mine ( paladin and barbs ) you can get both to +6 bonus
Not surprisingly, you can't do Volo's quest for the see invisibility with Wyll.
if you have leveled up a bit before going to autie erhel's lair it's much more efficient to just one turn her. Knowing whom is the real is quite easy since she have exhausted her actions before using her illusion which is not the case of her illusions
Saving this video for later, still in act 1, but this is super good info
Making a list for my second playthrough.
The tharchiate vigor does actually continue to work even after long rests. I had it for the entire rest of the game.
If you read as many pages as it would let u of the necro book, then you read that tome from the wiz tower, you can finish reading the necro book and get a summon ghoul ability
Fun fact about auntie Ethel (and other fake enemy fights) she keeps her place in initiative AND has any debuffs you already gave her
And when she disguise herself as the girl, if you examine her she still has her passive while the real one has none
Indeed, casting something like Fairy Fire makes it really easy to mark and keep track of the real one!
While the hag is transformed as the girl, the hag's form isn't pregnant like the original girl. And before that, when she has her copies out, the original hag's belt/sash is red while all the others are blue, kinda hard to notice though.@@luxadia7310
but if you had her silenced from the start, there's no fakes nor mayrina switchups..and silence is really what you should be doing in fights against known spellcasters especially when you cast it as ritual in just a single action rather than the lengthy time in tabletop. silence then command/frighten effect with maybe the help of portent dice and/or cutting words makes her just stay in the silence field for all your martials to beat her up.
@@pul0y If you want to cheese the fight by attacking while she is in dialogue sure, why get “ambushed” in an rpg game anyway, every fight should start with you first
Video on saved list. 👍
You forgot the Loviatar's Love buff from Abdirak in goblins camp inside Seluna temple. Below 30% hp it gives +2 to attack roles and saving throws. Thank you for informing about auntie Ethel. I usually kill her in her house b/c I don't want to make a deal to give her Mayrina. But I didn't know you can still save Mayrina and let Ethel to disappear alone. I need to replay this part. 😊 Thank you!
If you let aunty go you can face her again in act 3
@@heroniusnapalmv6990 WHERE?
@trytoo5167 look for posters about hag survivors group
Since you talked about the book of necromancy, you can have the laugh of tasha (I don't know the exact name of the spell in english sorry) too. You have to retrieve the locket where the elemental is in the big forge (again sorry, I don't know the name) where you have to fight the titan to craft some good items in act I, it will trigger a quest, and if you accept at the end and you pass the intelligence/illithid/whatever you choose throw, it will give you the spell.
Sorry I can't be more specific ^^'
There's a newborn mindflayer you can feed at the start of act 3. The narrator says you get some kind power from doing it but I couldn't figure what it was. The wiki for this quest is empty.
I'm pretty sure it counts as an extra tadpole. I had 7 on me at the time and it went to 8 after I ate the brain.
Depending on how far you are with the emperor, and your own transformation stage, you can access its inventory and consume its brain for a tadpole.
If that's near windmill it's a permanent +1 intelligence after eating
Tharchiate Vigor is permanent. Your character will begin each day with 20 temporary hit points, recovering the full amount after every long rest. Or at least, that's how it worked for me.
1:48 well, didn't realize there was an option to save Mayrina also, so, good luck to her and her unborn baby
It's not permanent, but it's reapplayed long rest buff for 1d4 Radiant damage for all your party.
Just go to Rosymorn Monastery in a room with altars, when you get dawnmaster's crest, and pick up any of ceremonial weapon, and then just place is back to altar. Congrats, u got a buff again until long rest.
Very useful :)
It's also bugged that once you get it, no matter where you are act2 or act3, your companion will re apply the buff after benched then rejoin
Do we know if the bite skill you can get for your character that works like vampire spawn guy attack that heals him from biting for 4 player coop campaigns since he doesn't give the player anything when he bites you??
I discovered the hag 1 point boost. Witch Charisma it is.
I did the eye just for the lulz not knowing it would give such a massively OP upgrade.
