Thanks so much for watching today my bros! I know about Karmic Dice being "Fixed" but they most certainly don't feel that way!

DONT LISTEN TO THIS MAN!, there is no way his dating life isn’t going great he seems so swaggy
HAHAHAH what a fuckin banger of a compliment! thanks bro :D
I’d date him so hard
You'd be surprised
The most important tip, is salami does 1d4 damage and can be swung or thrown
And you can dual wield salami too
And here is today's Winner. Love it!
@@raphaelguilbault4296I am no way imagining a euphemism that resembles cross-country skiing
what does 1d4 mean
@@user-zs8ym4dq2g basically 1-4, in d&d players use all sorts of different dice, 1d4(4-sided), 1d6(6-sided), 1d8,1d10,up to 1d20. If you see 2d6 it means two 6-sided rolls, so 2-12
A tip with item management: It's a good idea to pick up pouches and backpacks along the way; you'll have to manually pick them up using the context box option, but it's worth it. This will allow making specific item bags for party members: Arrow Bag, Grenade Bag, Scroll Bag, Potion Bag... Then, slot the bag on your action bar instead of specific items, to free up space, and all that's needed is to click on bag to see all like items that are available for use. There are also unique containers you can find throughout as well. Very early you can find the "Curious Book" container, which I use as a scroll case for Gale.
I do this too
That's a great idea, thanks
@@loveyourself3246 Near the windmill of act 1, right next to a broken wall you can jump over, on the ground. Also, there's the "Stuffed Bear" container in the act 1 swamp area, kind on near main entrance.
@@loveyourself3246if you know the scary barn in the blighted village look to the nearby wall where it goes into a hill. Pay attention to the container and it’s contents- a fun little nod
@@loveyourself3246 It's in a little burrow hole not far from the windmill in act 1.
A good tip would be, pay attention to the environment while in combat. A lot of times Larian put things to interact that help out tremendously and a good old Push can make your life so much easier when the enemy is close to a ledge.
Hoping shield master let's me do pushes in this game
Roaring arrows are insane. A group of enemies near a ledge? Knock em all off from range.
@@warriorfire8103push is just a baseline bonus action.
Another great video
Like a room full of explosive barrels next to a hobgoblin chief that you might be too low level to kill without cheese XD
having your tips detailed in your description so we can click around gets you a spot in heaven
They are in the chapters in the description so you can jump around ;)
@@italianspartacus Think they're saying you've already earned it. 🎉
Just a note, camp supplies can be useful in the open world... for example I found a situation with a particular enemy on chapter 1, where an npc was drunk and sleep, if the player makes any noise, they wake up and treat you, but if you have alcohol in your inventory, you can give it to them by dialog and they go right back to sleep... as a mean to avoid the fight. So for that, I keep a few selected supplies at hand that may be useful, just in case.
It's also funny to throw carrots and potatoes at people
Throwing a potion is a double-edged sword if you are at an elevation. I once threw a potion of healing at my 1hp character from high ground and killed it, because the throw did more damage than the healing potion healed
I had that problem once, too. Then I figured out, that I do Not need to throw the potion exactly ON my companion, but one the ground next to him or her. Side effect: All my companion next to the other one were healed too.
Throw it on the ground next to him
Throwing on the ground is the best option. It’s an AoE heal too
I have 70+ hours into BG3 so far and I still learned a lot from this video. Thank you!
Same!
Tip on top of the tips (lol) for healing potion throwing - in the situation showed in the video, you could have thrown the potion on the ground for an Area of Effect (AoE) heal which would have healed your character AND Karlach as well. The potions will explode into a small AoE heal when thrown at the ground.
@@Evil_This you are not alone thats why i prefer to target one specific character while throwing potions in case it misses unless really need the aoE heal
Also if you have the action available dropping the potion on the ground and melee attacking is a wider AoE
Amazing shout dude!!!
@@italianspartacus Also worth noting that you probably shouldn't throw a healing pot directly at a friendly target. I've seen quite a few posts from people saying they accidentally killed an ally by direct impact from a thrown healing potion.
@@icyknightmare4592is the heal the same if you throw it on the ground next to them?
Oh lord, I wasn't using the "filter" option for gear and it's so much better. Thank you!
Isn't it glorious!? It's a sesdch bar too!
I tried this too at first, but being a person that RPs a lot (in my head) i always hold some nice RP items like jug of water, shovel, a nice looking gem, a book, lockpicks, ropes, a bottle of wine or something like that on my second row, so when i sort the inventory all those items go in other places. Then i have to drag all those items in row 2 and that is a pain in the ass. So for me that is not an option, again, personal choice to use RP items.
So another thing you can do is to keep a trash bag (satchel) on hand and just put all your trash items in it. When you are at a vendor just sell your trash bag and you also get the gold for the items too. Then you can buy back the bag from the vendor. This is a neat way to alternatively organize your trash loot if you dont want to click on every item and "add to wares". This will also help you if you reach your carry limit on a character by simply sending the trash bag to your camp chest and selling it later. You can also send the food in your camp bag back to camp to get rid of a few extra kgs/pounds.
It works out if you want to play more immersively as you can imagine yourself dumping a bag full of weapons on a merchant's stand and saying "It's a bag-o-weapons, about 50 kgs, how much can you give me for the lot?" and seeing the bewildered look on the merchant's face. XD
I just wanted to say i really apprechiate the transparency in the beginning. No clickbait, no stay till the end, just a genuine guy trying to help. I just stumbled across this vid and know most of the tipps already but im gonna watch all of it just for ur stats🙏thank you we need more of this on youtube❤
Ty for this great video. I didn't know anything about D&D rules and terms, but after watching a few guide videos like this one i learned a lot to get me started.
Here is my tip: I cannot overstate how powerful the DIP bonus action is in the early game. You can dip your melee or ranged weapon in any surface, but mostly you will find fire in the game world. With this knowledge i blazed through the fights in act 1 with 2-3 of my characters having fire damage on their weapons which is a 1-4 extra damage on top of your attack rolls. A way you can have a PORTABLE fire source with you at any time is to get a candle on every character that uses weapons (that dont have elemental damage already). You will find many candles in crypts and dungeons in Act 1 in boxes or you can pick them up from furniture. In combat, go in your inventory and drop the candle, then light it (these two actions dont cost any action points), then dip your weapon in it (bonus action) then you can also attack. All in a single turn. If you keep your party together all your characters can dip their weapons in a single candle. BOOM now you have fire damage on weapons. Candles are not consumed and dont run out as long as you remember to pick them up after combat ends (i forgot them a few times XD).
This will increase your damage in all fights in the early game and later on you can specialise your elemental damage depending on enemy resistances and weaknesses by carrying various potions which you can toss on the ground creating an elemental puddle that your party can dip their weapons in.
Also remember to INSPECT enemies (T button) when you encounter a new enemy type to see what resistances / weaknesses they have. You can also see their armor class and monster type as well as other stats. No point in wasting time dipping weapons in fire if the enemy is fire resistant.
Double DIP your way to victory and have fun!
This has been one of the best tip videos I've seen yet!! Nailed some SUPER important things I didn't know like turning off attack of opportunity!!
In your dual-wielding toggle section, one thing I've noticed most "do / don't do this to improve" videos I've watched don't cover is using bonus actions first to improve damage: hunter's mark and reapply hex being the primary that come to mind. If you use these bonus actions first the main action will benefit from the bonuses.
Lae'zel's pommel strike is a perfect first use bonus action. You're more likely to succeed the next attack if they are dazed.
1 thing I found life saving with controls: I changed the "Camera Rotate" to my right click mouse button, while changing previous right click mouse actions to middle mouse button. A nice swap that makes maneuvering the camera and characters around the world much easier.
Thanks so much for this. The camera was making my experience very wonky
It is indeed a nice tip!
This doesn't work with me... I can't assign my right mouse button to that, even if i don't use it for anything else 😒🤔
@@duploh did you clear the input first and then right click to assign?
@@iceykid2 i deleted all other 'right mouse buttons' yes.
I learned a ton from this! Liked and subbed. Great vid. Thanks for your hard work. Its a wild emotional ride trying to get good at this game.
Love your content the way you upfront all the knowledge makes it very easy to get the information and get back to the game but also passively listen to the video for more information on things I care about
You can ice blood puddles the same as water. This is useful when fighting big enemies that leave massive puddles. Also, don't forget to use "speak to dead" if you have it. You don't really use it in the story, so might as well use it, specially if you get an item that allows for a free use. Use it on area bosses or more important characters for more lore development and sometimes helps progressing quests and gives you more dialog options with other characters. You can also ask them about any hidden loot in the area they ruled. Also, and this is VERY IMPORTANT, keep a look out for permanent buffs. There are ways to be blessed or get buffs (like permanent invisibility detection or permanent temporary hit points when low) that last even through long rests. They are found in the weirdest of places, so explore as much as you can (like, a BDSM session with a fanatic in a cave).
Also, don't worry about backlogging interactions with your party members in the long rest camp. If you are worried that some romance interactions are missed because other story events take place, don't worry. The game remembers them and will put them out as soon as it can. Sometimes they are delayed because you need to be outside of dungeon or things like that, but they don't go away.
ALSO, remember you can put the
*spoilers for the first 10h/15h of the game*
brain worms in your party members too, if you succeed in convincing them. This gives them the powers too. But, if you have it, don't use charm person for advantage on this checks on your party members. After it wears off, they will dislike it. You can also check how much they approve if you in the character sheet of the party member. In the last tab of the character sheet, scroll down to see exactly how much they like or dislike you.
If you hover a surface and the path line changes to a blue color that means that surface behaves like water, meaning you can freeze it or electrify it. A yellow color means difficult terrain and moving throught it costs the double movement distance, and a red color means the character is gonna receive damage if it walks there.
Watching your videos has gotten me so much more excited to play on ps5 when it comes out . Each of your videos are so informative and i feel like i have a good grasp on what I want to do and how to do it when I finally jump in and play. Thank you good sir.
My frend, i have seen a lot of these guide videos for BG3 because i like to be well informed before going into a complicated RPG like this, but you videos are a cut above the rest in info and presentation.
I take my hat off to you, sir!
hey thanks for this vid! Inventory management and hotbar customization are GAME changing
I have to say, this has been one of the most helpful videos on this topic. I have a deep background on 'game mechanics ' but litte BG3 system knowledge. This has helped immensely.
So much to learn..... I get the feeling that I will be spending much time reloading saves as I try out may of your tips (especially during combat) or just spending lots of time in between battles to learn how to set the bars and slots up into something useable for me. Thanks for the clear explanations..
Great video.
The inventory management section was a big help. Really should have realised that I didn't need to carry camp supplies.
Wow, I learned many new things in your video. Thank you. This is my first-time playing D&D or anything based on D&D, so I was completely clueless on... well, basically everything. I didn't even know what a "1d20" was. After playing the game for a few days, I figured out most everything to play the game at a noob-level. Now that I'm a master noob and know your tips, I think I can take the next step. Great video and presentation. Cheers!
very very useful stuff.. thanks for compiling this, mate !
This is really helpful thank you! I was struggling with my inventory managed throughout my playthrough 😂
nice Vampire Hunter D reference!
I didn't know about the max auto and quick saves slider thanks for that homie 👍
For almost all the locked doors, chests and traps don't use inspiration to reroll. You can use trap disarm kits and thieves tools to do that.
Locked doors and chests, yes- traps depends, they go off when you fail
If you have 4 inspiration points you might as well, depending on who you have in the party I find them easy to come by, and 4 is the max available at a time. Although astarion has never broken a pick yet so I agree with lockpicking.
Just got this game yesterday and have been enjoying it quite a bit! This video here has already helped me in a number of ways I have to admit so I decided to leave a comment; thanks :3
So, I actually liked this video so I can go back to it more easily later on because... legit the day after watching this I forgot like, several of the things you said in it and I wanna have it as a quick guide just in case lmao
Happy Xmas and hope you have a good new year, these guides are my bread and butter on helping crack this beautiful game , thank you 🎉🎉keep on rocking 😊
I love this game so far only just started can’t wait to use these tips
Dude, that key bind hotbar tip is going to save me so much hassle. You're a god send
You can do an aoe heal if you place the potion on the ground and shoot it.
Thats why i love this studio xD
Will it split the heal amount between everyone? Or just everyone gets the full amount that the potion normally heals?
Like let's say the potion would've healed 5 if I drank it. Now instead I place it on the ground between 3 people. Are all of them getting 5 each, or are all of them getting like 1-2 each now?
@@sjk7467 from the video I saw it seemed like everyone gets a random amount as if they all drank it themselves. I haven't attempted it myself yet.
@@fenix648 damn if so, it seems like there's absolutely no reason to ever drink it. Unless everyone is fully healed except one, or it's mid fight or something and getting the party together would require time you don't want to spend, or turns.
@@sjk7467drinking it is a bonus action and throwing it is a full action, so it really depends on how many people are injured and what you're trying to do in the fight
I love your respect towards viewers, instant subscribe.
Thanks. I had no idea about the T shortcut & that I could throw healing potions.. Also love the idea of organising arrows into a quiver/backpack
Quickly log in to ranger to do just that...
Question, can you dual wield swords and hand crossbows?
@@kgaydos7 yes and rangers can take two-weapon fighting to get full attribute bonus on each weapon
Despite being Australian I still switched it to Imperial measurements because I’m used to DnD and both editions of Pathfinder using it - like movement in the tabletop games was always in multiples of five (because the grid you’d use for the fights was always meant to be five-foot squares) and it just helps me use my pre-existing system knowledge in the video game.
Coɓber !
You can also throw the potion onto the ground near the ally and if you're close enough it can heal both characters!
Thanks, lots of interface tips is exactly what I've needed.
this has all been very informative. I am awaiting my preorder for the PS5 as I am really excited to get to play.
Throwing the potions - game changer, thanks.
WOW this video is super useful. There's so much to the interface I never realized. Thanks for getting this all together!
Absolutely my fellow bald and bearded bro! :) happy it helped out!!
so incredibly thorough, thank u so much!
You're so welcome!
There's a painting of the red prince in a burning building.
Theres a picture of Fane in the mercenaries room on your way to Withers
Lohsa is in the Druid Grove. Sebille is in the hags house I think... uh ifan is in blight village somewhere...
A nice one in the Teahouse too.
Great and useful video! Thank you so much, friend!
Really good video, i particularly appreciate the early format and the ability to jump to each tip which many videos of this type dont do.
Keep up the good work
this has taught me so much thank you
Thank you so much for this. I was scratching my head, staring at all those wee little buttons. It’s been a while since I’ve played MMOs or games with similar inventory and taskbar challenges.
This is not an mmo
@@MrSqueamishJam Yep, but it’s got the same hotbar and inventory management challenges.
@@TonyLS9A i know that u know that is not something exclusive to mmos but whatevr
It's just ridiculous to call this game an MMO.
OMG, I keep forgetting to use Shift and Ctrl to manage my inventory and to move things around. I HAVE been right clicking and "send to X" player to move things around. Your tips are going to save me so much time now! :)
I also did not know about hitting T to examine enemy to see what their stats were. Great tip!
Hey great video, just a note, maybe it was in an update, but you can get rid of your friends characters, the same way you would other characters at camp. But if you do you can’t get them back until your friend joins again, they don’t just wait at camp for you. Cheers
This is top-tier. You just save me like 7 hours😅. Thank you so much.
Awesome video, thank you for that !
Was just scouring YT for a good quality of life guide for BG3, and this was perfectly timed! Top notch guide, thank you so much for your work!
That “side tip” at 19:00 is crucial! You can not just drop into someone’s game to show them something then leave. You will kick out a random party member and EFF UP their single player play through.
Yeah I really hope they fix this I don’t want a solo player and have to make a whole new character so I can play with friends just let me keep ‘em at camp or just kick em
wait, do the drop ins get companion quests like the larian crew??
That's hilarious
@@QuaePanemEtCircenses No they dont have dialog. Its lame as and ruins your playthrough
Thanks for the this informative video, much appreciated.
Great tips! This solved some things that frustrated me.. like thr cross save
Great video as always sparty!!!! Cant wait for this on ps5
I actually INCREASED the number of my saved saves. Came in handy: a quest for Druid Halsin was bugged....requiring me to go back FOUR GODDAMNED HOURS to get it done properly.
You can Also drag items from inventory to portraits on left.
Or drag potion on shortcut directly on characters.
There are reasons go use bonus action offhand attacks seprrate. Some weapons have special triggers when an enemy js low hp. Or they have low hp already and you dont need a full attack to kill. Just my 2 cents.
Such an amazing game. Thanks for the video.
Great stuff and will be using most of these.
YUSSS!
Nice, I too love it when my friends jump in when i romance.
Great video, these are exactly the kind of tips beginners need, absolute basics are perfect for a BG virgin like me haha
Sending all that stuff to camp was a big help!
I loved the vampire hunter D reference!
It never bloody occurred to me to send my camp supplies to my camp instead of carrying them all around with me! 🤦♂️
Thanks for the pro tips! 😎👍
Scott
🤓🤓
Great video, great tips, Thank you.
Never played a single game of DnD, and I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing in this game, but it's still my favorite game of the decade because of the story. Hopefully watching this guide will make be a bit of a less noob lol
Sparta kicking a boss into a pit auto killing them on the first round of combat is hilarious.
3:46 There has been a patch around that Karmic Dice so now it only prevents long failure streaks instead of preventing both failure and success streaks so its safe to turn on without the game forcing your rolls to be lower. Ofc if u still want total random dice rolls feel free to leave it off.
Been playing since early access but good info. Thanks bro 🍻
Lol put my auto save and quick save to 50 🤣 can never have enough saves! Good video all around, thanks for the tips.
Excellent tips 👍🏻
Nice tips. Thank you, it will be usefull
Dang, containers on the hotkeys is somehow something I didn't think of. Waaaay easier than hotkeying the zillion consumables
Thanks for info should still help as I'll be playing offline on ps5 once I can download it at my friend's
I had no idea about the Karmic dice and I’m already level 10 with quite a few legendary items. I was wondering how I was still getting hit so often when my parties lowest AC is 20 lol.
Glad to hear we can turn this off. I'd hate this as it smells of level scaling to me.
It can help. Also, higher creatures have better modifiers like your party does. And they start throwing more spells to hit you in weak areas for your saving throws. It's just how the D&D 5e system works. It's called "bounding accuracy".
Had a few fights today I definitely got hit less and my fighter archers accuracy went up from average of 80% to 95%. You can see the percentage difference if you test it on the same fight. Very odd system they added made early game way harder.
YES! I just got the game yesterday and as I always do, I started sniffing around for tips and tricks videos, and who should I find but the guy who got me through CK3. Nice! EDIT: Two things having finished video: 1) You are a fucking boss of a guide maker, and 2) hearing you drop F bombs with such highly sophisticated use of language and tone cracks me up every time.
19:38
That Moonglum isn't a thief.
*Elric disapproves.*
I'll say right now, even 8 hr in, (2nd time as the creator bugged on me it turns out), this was super useful. I've seen No other creator talk like this about the game mechanic. The Devs seem to assume you'll come to the game with a comprehensive knowledge of the board game.. And the tutorial for the game is pants, non existent.
Would like to see more of these in regards to actions/abilities/skills use for combat & other scenarios.
It's a pain the game doesn't have a glossary linked to everything giving a proper breakdown; so you know exactly what you're using & how best to use it. The game narrative being you're ment to know all this stuff, as its not like your character is a farm-hand new to it all & having to learn & discover.
Anyways.. loved this.
Would love to see Steam Workshop access/support for this game in the near future. As they'll be the ones to fix the bugs, & other issues, still going on; & refine the game. I'll say again, a glossary/compendium linked to skills/abilities actions, even similar for armour/weapon types, would be a massively useful resource in game. Throw in some Law from this Universe.
@@Han_Shot_1stdo you mean Lore not Law? If not that's a strange sentence but absolutely having a glossary/index would improve the game because some terms are obvious for 99% of people but have been subtly changed for BG3 over D&D so it's less of a surprise if you can look things up
I’m loving bg atm first time player, very overwhelming but Iv kinda got a grip of it Iv just killed the hag, one thing that I will say is for such a big world there isn’t many encounters really, majority is walking and exploring
So many hours into the game and I'm just now figuring out you can dual wield hand crossbows
I am so bad at this game.
bro - same
Throwing a healing potion at a downed ally, this right here. Thank you so much.
Ooooo I wondered why I had over 60 saves!! Lol I need to do a small purge.
My first run was a disaster! I was on the lowest difficulty and kept getting murked. Largely because I didn’t understand spell slots, how to properly spec companions and what equipment to use.
It’s a learning curve, like with any game. My second run has been much better!
This video helped realize how much more intuitive the mouse and keyboard ui is 😞
like your content, the only issue I had was when you showed the hot bar, the close captions was in the way.
You can put containers into the hotbar?!?! Game changer. I use so many of them, whether it's potions, alchemist fire or even just tossing water carafes to power up a spell. Organisation has been a mess.
Saving is very important, I have like the max, its quite a bit & it was 1GB and a half, but well worth it, this type of game u are gunna want saves, to ensure the 70hrs. in, theirs nothing to worry about.
great video, Im currently having a problem with my inverntory, I tend to read every book I see then I pick it up, same with notes/maps/pieces of paper.... and my inventory is full of the stuff, im afraid to drop everything not sure if its needed for a quest or some dialog might come up and Bing I have a dialog I read from a book, my question is, do I need to pick up any book in this game or is reading them enough, same question for notes/maps/pieces of paper ???
I switched my q and e binds. Way more intuitive camera rotation
I would really like if in the next patch they could let the player dye the bags and pouches different colors. I don’t really care about dying armour especially that there is so many different colors in the game, I have a lot that I don’t use. IMO it would help with organizationand quick acces to things a lot
If you want to multiclass but prefer the easier casual gamemode, you can change the difficulty level on the fly, multi class, then change it right back.
What does multiclass have to do with the difficulty?
@@kennethyoung4973easier game mode doesn't have multiclass
always leave it OA on ask, as some enemies (like the forge golem) change aggro to the unit that last attacked it
I am excited to see this
My man, was waiting for this exact video from you. Learnt tonnes thanks mate keep em coming ! 🤙
