@@Mix-pk6ckThere's actually a decent amount.

@@Mix-pk6ck Is there objectively better builds in endgame once all items are available? Lmao of course yes. Is this still a pretty solid coop build for chapter 2? Yup.

Gale's reaction was like "You don't want this smoke 😤" Karlach's line about fishy hell was 😂 And how Karlach was pissed, oh my... 😦 I wouldn't dare betraying my sweet baby girl 🥺💔 And yeah, Astarion's delivery of him being pissed off was reaaally good 😄👍🏻
My god. How many more videos am I going to find that reveal that an encampment or settlement I murdered my way through, actually had possible interactions? I learned my lesson by Act 2, but boy did I miss out.
Probably more than enough :D I had something similar happening to me when I first met Yurgir in Shars temple ... I suceeded my perception check and tried to sneak up upon the ambushers - which resulted in combat without dialogue! But the whole act around convincing him to kill himself and his minions or strike a pact with him was lost to me this way
Thats quite a hidden one indeed :D She seemed like a regular npc to me too. But I wondered why she had the Underwear etc. with her when I killed her the first the time so I kinda got suspicious there :D @gina-hp2jo

@@GaryVanThos Might be, might not. When I would play Durge, I also would reject such an "offer". As Astarion already said -- it is just to big of a shame, to bow before a false god -- even as bad person, you should have at least some standards.

As far as I remember it doesnt matter how karlach dies, but if you recruited wyll beforehand it would mean that you "spared" her before and so angered mizora. For the Mizora event to occur you have to take a long rest, so maybe you could workaround that by recruiting her in the first place but sacrificing her afterwards. Easy way would be to recruit wyll later - then it should be fine anyway
I recorded this over several playthroughs I think. But as long as you dont take a long rest after recruiting Karlach, Myzora wont appear to punish Wyll - so if you go anywhere else before that Wyll stays without his horns :D
@@GaryVanThosOh, didn't know that, nice little trick, but.. On my first playthrough I did that and yet she appeared in act 2 while I was in the underdark Do you have to reah the shadow cursed lands for this to work ?
Hmm this should work just fine in Act 1. I tend to finish everything so I dont need to go back later on so I wasnt anywhere near the Shadowcurse at the time @@CerbeRawr
@@CerbeRawrIt is tragedy in 2 long rests. When you mercy and recruit Karlach, once back for a long rest, Wyll and Karlach start an arguement, during that you can decide whether you want to take Wyll's side, Karlach's side or try to be neutral. So the second long rest would result in Wyll having horns.
I doubt it. Could you imagine being Bhaal? First you lose to Cyric and he takes your domain and almost all your followers then [spoiler] >>>>>> >>>>>> Your own flesh and blood of a chosen whores themselves out to a simple redcap that is just ripping you off?

The choice is yours of course :D but I find it useful if you plan for a evil like playthrough or just plan to destroy the druid grove for whatever reason! Wyll und Karlach wont stand it and leave/attack the party so you could kill off karlach for wylls quest/robe and sacrifice wyll to the fishs for maximum rewards :D
If you dont give him the artefacts he will leave the group if I remember correctly. If he dies permanently, and you dont ressurect him he will definetly blow and its game over :D and there are some mid and lategame story options to let him blow up too! Storywise he would definetly blow up :D
If you dont like Karlach or plan to have her in the group I think its even better to just kill her for Wylls Quest and get the Robe as Reward and afterwards sacrifice Wyll to Boooal :D especially if you plan to destroy the druid grove where they would leavy you anyway
As gary says, act 1, when you go to the mages tower or the area just before it with the exploding plants, go immediately left as far as you can go and in that exploding plant area is a small opening in the ground spread around it are a bunch of platforms you can jump too. on the last one that lets you down, kill it with a ranged attack and then go down wherever the prompt allows and you'll arrive in the area. Very small area, not much loot or anything, just these guys.
Yeah nothing too special, if I remember correct you can find two magical items: At the ledge where you can climb down into that area you can find a leather helmet on a skeleton that grants advantage on wisdom saving throws and there is a chest kinda hidden at the back of the cove with a mail chest that prevents opportunity attacks on a creature if you heal it@@adventofknowledge
