@@zombiegamer1069 if you mean minthara, it's an intended means of killing her by destroying the bridge, so wasn't a shove and was also planned by the Devs to be a way to kill her.
Dude love your content. The formatting, the jokes, the pacing, and your voice all add up to an awesome time. Hope we get to see play through with all of the classes!
I highly recommend bringing darkness arrows to the hag fight. for the cost of one of your attacks on the first turn you guarantee you cannot be targeted by her ray of sickness or hold person spells for three turns.
You’ve quickly become one of my favorite content creators. Went and binged all your videos and any time I see you in my feed it’s an instant watch. You’re really good at this
I love that you mix it up every time , always feels like a different adventure whereas you could easily make it boring/be as optimal as possible . Hope to see a Necromancer run some day
I'm really happy you are choosing to forgo tavern brawler (at least for now) because don't get me wrong it's a good feat I've seen at least 4 challenges that are ultimately tavern brawler abusing and it makes them all bleed into each other. But this super movement speed hit and run build looks fun, and I've not seen it before.
Firstly, I love your stuff. You’re super clever and your diction and timbre are aces. Keep it up. Lastly, you may know this, but if you leave one of Ethel’s masked guardians alive, from the room where you fight like three or four of them, she’ll summon it to fight for her instead of clones. I mean she’ll summon as many as you leave. I leave one, because she sucks. Regardless, you’re a cool cat.
I found you are the best bg challenge player. Because you play faurly and you do not break the game. Very entertaining. Iv binged the bard playthrough already
Really enjoy the monk gameplay, my first class was warlock then i tried co op with friends. So i tried monk, then i was your vids and it was fun to watch, keep up the good work
My fav solo method for grym is staying at the top using arrows to activate lever and button and the Connor wand summon to get him in the middle the zombie has an ability that lets it live after hitting zero so grym can’t walk away from him oh and it doesn’t cost any actions… any character can do this at any level works in honor mode fight over in 5 turns.
Monks are amazing. I completed the game twice and then I kept getting stuck in act 1, deleting characters because they felt too similar. Decided to make a monk and while the actual attacks are weaker - you have more of them from an earlier level - with the best mobility in the game and the most useful melee based CC and conditions in the game all without using a weapon. So while the more powerful fighter is forced to use a ranged attack as it's out of range - the monk has already killed 2 targets and knocked the biggest threat to the ground and stunned an archer. I use 8 strength - take tavern brawler and save all my elixirs of hill giant strength for tough fights and have max dex and wis. Super hard to hit me and really nice AC, huge CC and powerful damage stemming from multiple attacks over and over again and enemies can never be out of range from me. Deffo trying Way of shadow and elements next. Chaotic neutral Githyanki Orphan playthrough coming up.
great videos just subbed been watching for a while ever consider doing some class guides seems like with your edit style it would be so easy and fast to follow keep up the hard work
You are literally the defenition of hidden gem. I am glad youtube algorythm popped you up. Earned a sup and cant wait for the next uploads! Until then i have to watch your other vids:P
Living for these videos at the moment. I am learning so much! New to the genre as of last week, loving it all. love your videos as well man, real chill, love your work
If you kill all but one of the hag's brainwashed servants (I recommend knocking out the halfling, since she's the only one of the group that can be saved) and long rest after, Ethel will summon her servants, but she will only summon their dead corpses (except for the one you save). The hag fight is SOOOO much easier that way.
something you didn't mention about Phalar Aluv or however it's spelled is that it is a finesse longsword, which unless I'm mistaken makes it the only dex-based longsword in the game.

Your content is always entertaining and all your videos I rewatch often! Keep up the good work! Edit: I don’t know if this would be a boring playthrough, but a loan wolf ranger run sounds interesting if you need some ideas for a run after this one
2:32 You deserve a like and sub for that. Sadly there are lots of "solo" walkthroughs that use companions. It's good to see not everyone is like that nowadays.
open hand monk: one of if not the strongest class in the game, not to forget that it also has some of the best item synergies in the game, every playthrough with monk on my team feels like a monk solo run because monk is always the one that wins the fight after the rest of my underpowered party dies in 2 turns...
He goes home in shame as his father looks at him with a scowl...your name is Thelonius MonkFISTO, not FighterSwordSlinger. Don't be like your Uncle JackoMcTrado.
I would have chosen a dwarf for extra hp and warhammer proficiency, warhammers are versatile and are still considered two-handed when it comes to great weapon master and there is a good warhammer that knocks enemies prone on crit or kill grymforge.
It WOULD actually be an infiltration mission without stashing some bodies in closets. Infiltration simply means get in and out. Preferably without being seen. Assassination, is more the one where it wouldn't be said type of mission without a few bodies stashed in closets. But then again, who doesn't have a few skeletons in their closet? Just me, oh well... time for some coffee. No, wait; that's just Withers... * Tavern Brawler only affects unarmed damage; if you're using a sword - it's not going to do fuck all for you. But you know that, since you're confident enough to play on Tactician. (I don't like dying, or particularly hard fights that make me feel like my level ups mean nothing, so I stick religiously to VERY EASY in every game I play. Which is predominantly RPG's) Also - you missed the Monty Python reference. Should've called him "Brave Sir Robin." He's always skipping out and buggering off. : )
Your runs are next level, do you think you will ever attempt the challenge Luality completed? The lone wolf honor mode challenge. I really wanna see you do that
Oh for sure! It's on my list of things to do, but it's not terribly high on the list since I tend to prefer playing a little suboptimally and it will likely take a ton of practice to do properly!
Great video! Would you ever do a solo run using a Wild Magic sorcerer? I never see it used because of all the random effects, but it could be really interesting to see.
10:00 - That's odd. I am 200% sure I pushed her off the ledge. Did they patch it? I know they updated some bosses to remove certain strategies, or at least make them less accessible.
4:11 I don't consider the guy looking for the night song to be a good guy. I intentionally failed a deception check in act three so I could enjoy killing him :3
This scurrying like a rat and jumping around like a rabbit on roids seems like fun but dont think id have the patience to do all the back and forth. My pc is a simple fighter, gets in peoples faces, starts turns hasted first, kills like 4 enemies in one turn, dealing like 300 dmg combined and then kills bosses in a few turns.
Larian mentioned that all bosses are immune to being shoved to their death in Tactician. That's why you weren't able to throw Gut off the ledge.
Did they patch that in at some point?
@@Zorayah honor mode patch
I also remember getting like 3 “successful” shove attempts on Minthara only for her to stay exactly where she was.
Wasnt the drow easily pushed?
@@zombiegamer1069 if you mean minthara, it's an intended means of killing her by destroying the bridge, so wasn't a shove and was also planned by the Devs to be a way to kill her.

Thank you so much! I am planning on doing this with every class!
How much punch could a punch monk monk if a punch monk could punch monk
have you ever had a dream that you that if you want you that if you you want him to fist you so much you would do anything?
Yes
second monk should've been punch but still a yes comment
How far could chuck (the man) could chuck (throw) chuck (the man) if chuck (the man) could chuck (throw) chuck (the man)
You need to lay off the monks tbh
I highly recommend bringing darkness arrows to the hag fight. for the cost of one of your attacks on the first turn you guarantee you cannot be targeted by her ray of sickness or hold person spells for three turns.
Yeah definitely gunna be doing that in the future

I appreciate you trying this one out without Tavern Brawler. TB is kind of a balance breaker and it's nice to see a greater variety of builds.

Larethian long sword in the creche is also a finesse weapon
ah yes the true final boss, warrior gresh
Loved the video man, keep up the grind ❤
Phalar Aluve isn't bugged. It buffs allies (as per the description) but not the wielder.
Y'know that makes a lot of sense, thanks for clarifying, I just always considered myself to be my greatest ally
then it should say OTHER allies, as it is it's bugged, one way or another

As a monk fan itself, all I can say is:
*fist.*
I would have chosen a dwarf for extra hp and warhammer proficiency, warhammers are versatile and are still considered two-handed when it comes to great weapon master and there is a good warhammer that knocks enemies prone on crit or kill grymforge.
No illicit powers is not that big a difference, but missing 3 levels of rogue hurts
