    I'm not sure if you did get it because I didn't catch it in the video, but if you talk to Stonemason Kith in the Grymforge and pass all three dialogue checks (Perception, History and Investigation) he will give you an Infernal Alloy, which you can later trade with Dammon in Last Light Inn via dialogue for a Flawed Helldusk Helmet. Both of these are obtained via dialogue, no looting or trading

      Is that specific version of the infernal alloy actually able to be used multiple times? Like as long as you don't exit the conversation, you can repeatedly choose the option and get the other 2 pieces of the armor.

    • @elenalizabeth
      @elenalizabeth 4 місяці тому +27

      Yeah what’s good about that alloy is that it will actually get you all 3 armour pieces (the gloves, helmet and armour) as long as you just keep selecting the dialogue choice “I found this metal in Grymforge what can you make with it”.

      @@BradTheAmerican if you’ve got 3 normal pieces of infernal iron you can use them, but the Grymforge specific dialogue option uses the single infernal alloy piece that you get from that trader (either through dialogue, stealing it or buying it).
      I think at the end of the game I still had around 6 spare pieces of infernal iron left over (even after fixing Karlach and getting the gear), so there are “extras” littered around the game in case you miss the earlier ones. It’s a shame there’s not more to do with them, like that you can’t get Dammon to turn them into infernal explosives or something.

    FYI Quartermaster Talli will actually hand out 3 food packs, but each character has to ask her and pass the persuasion check. I tried to do it a 4th time but she said “I would give it to you but it appears I’m all out”.
    Also at Moonrise Araj Oblora will give each character a free blood potion and depending on what each character is will depend on what the potion does (also if you have a Wizard/Gale question her bloodline first she will also give you some “shutup gold” along with each blood potion).
    Then in act 3 you can make your blood become explosive through talking to her (by excepting the gift of a questionable potion from her).
    The annoying guy Naaber will also give you a necklace if you put up with his ridiculous questions for a while (Absolute Confidence Amulet: grants the wearer a +1 bonus to Performance checks at the cost of -1 to Intimidation checks).
    Also I think the Waterqueens armour would have worked well in fights as long as you had water under your character that throws the hammer, as it would mean you heal as each turn as long as you were standing in the water.

    • @ProxyGateTactician
      @ProxyGateTactician  4 місяці тому +5

      I did grab all those things too, but because they ended up not doing anything for me I cut them from the video. The blood thing actually was worthless for my races, and the armor could have been ok then I guess, but I just decided to toss it for the memes lol

    • @elenalizabeth
      @elenalizabeth 4 місяці тому

      @@ProxyGateTactician good point, because of the restrictions you made for this playthrough you couldn’t get hirelings to get extra blood potions. In my recent game I went through and hired all the hirelings and got her to make a potion from each of them, then I went through the 8 camp companions and got one from each of them too. Some of them are really good and they stack so can all be drunk by one character (unlike normal potions), but I think the Elven one is probably the best as it gives an extra 10m movement per turn until long rest.
      Also if you talk to Zorru he gives you the quest to kill Kagha, and if you do so you get some gloves from him as a gift (Hellrider's Pride: When you heal another creature, it gains resistance against Bludgeoning, Slashing, and Piercing damage from weapon attacks and +1 to Strength saving throws). Most useful on a Cleric or other healer character though.
      And if you talk to Auntie Ethel in the grove and choose the option that’s something like “I just feel a little tired” she will gift you a healing potion (the round 2nd level one) and I think you can do this once per character. (Same with the Gruel you get from the grove, you can have every camp companion/hireling grab a bowl).
