    Good stuff. Im using a sword bard with arcane acuity on my honor mode run and its so good. Highly recommend picking up the band of the mystic scoundrel in early act 3 to cast hold person/monster/tasha's/hypnotic pattern for a bonus action after landing a weapon attack. Completely shuts down most fights. I also took some levels in thief rogue for the extra bonus action but it would probably still be strong without. Rhapsody dagger from Cazador is also clutch since the +3 both boosts your spells and also helps you land your flourishes to build even more acuity. Im in act 3 with 80% to hit on bosses and casting 100% success chance spells on bosses. Arcane acuity is game breakingly good!

  • @fuhsz8515

    Hey, I don't know if this is a known trick but what I usually do when trying to find invisible enemies is hold left alt and right click on the portrait of the invisible enemy in turn order screen, this pings right where they are in the game so you can just throw an object or use an AOE spell to instantly get them out of the invisibility.
    I don't think I have seen many people use this, as it was something I did when testing/messing around with pinging once but now it makes an enemy chosing to be invisible completely useless, as I always know to the pixel where they are stood.

    Some tips vs Balthazar and the gnolls.
    You can open his gate during the justiciar fight and he can die in the fight since they don't target portals.
    Similarly, you can pickpocket sussur flowers on him to disable his spells.
    The kitchen gnolls you can befriend and they'll help you in the end

    currently stuck on the ketheric/murkyl fight mainly due to the insane damage the mindflayer does to my party (i’m not very good at the battle aspect of the game yes you can laugh) and haven’t even managed to get through the first phase. can anybody lay it out to me what best items i can use to fight him (as in like weapons and shit) because i am STUPID AS HELL but desperate to finish😭
    this video is actually like the best guide i’ve found cause your narration is super helpful to follow (so thanks keep it up❤️) but also any other tips is appreciated because as i said im trash at battle strategy😞

      @@the_truant To be fair, it might just be them choosing to keep the design consistent... it is still Larian's game series.
      maybe cloaks of protection fell out of favor, or the secrets of making them were lost, in later years after the bhaalspawn crisis, and that's why there's only one place you can get one in BG3. They're rarer, a hundred years later.
      Or MAYBE
      the cloak of protection +2 was just way too powerful (there were two of those in BG1, and one wasn't NAMED that, but the cloak of protection +1 always looked the same) and Larian realized they shouldn't make such a universally useful item so available or common.

    I've had a terrible time with the bard in act 1, many fights are just way too much for a low level bard with light armor and no backup. How do you survive fights like the mercenaries on the way to withers at the very beginning. Clearly I need to do more homework.
