    Some clarifications and new stuff you guys commented:
    Meli was arguably lying to get the locket, many have pointed this out and tbh that may be true, so Minthara fans can eat good.
    There is infact another Katana available which is behind the Djinn in the Circus, not just Galbraiths Home
    You can also revive the Matriarch Spider (just like the bulette and the minotaur) IF you push her down.
    Forgot to add the description on how to get Wulbren, which is through siding with him against the Gondians.
    Dont need to go completely naked to get the +4 bonus for Abdiraks ritual, only torso armor.
    You dont actually have to kill the owlbear for one of the components, just leave and wait for the goblins to do it.
    I am currently working on a continuation of the series plus another funny playthrough, so be sure to subscribe!

      A secret I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere else is that you get a unique hag potion if you pick up Auntie Ethel’s corpse. If it’s on a character or in your travelers chest, the body is replaced with the potion Boon of the Hag after a long rest. Even if you’re collecting trophies, it’s pretty rare to have enough strength to pick up her body at this stage in the game though…

    You don't have to kill the owlbear mother for the spear component at all.
    Just have the peaceful dialogue in order to leave, rest, come back later.
    You'll find that the goblins have killed the owlbear and you can just loot the spear off of her, and the egg in the nest.
    This route also lets you achieve the owlbear cub from the goblin camp.

    Great video! Seeing Raphael rehearsing is hilarious! I found at 8:15 you don't personally need to kill the owlbear mother. If you go to her, get close to her, then prevent her from attacking you, you'll still find the owlbear cub at the goblin camp. If you return to the cave you'll find the owlbear mother was killed by a goblin hunting party and can loot the spear half from her body

  • @SDPhantomGamer
    @SDPhantomGamer 3 місяці тому +1

    There are a few good pickpocket interactions too. For example, if you pickpocket the amulet from Keli and talk to Barth, you have the option to hand it back to him, in which Keli complements you on your skill, then walks away after taunting Barth. There's a similar dialog with Mattis if you pickpocket his "magic ring" before talking to him, then claim responsibility for its disappearance.
    If you pickpocket the Runepowder Vial off Philomeen, she'll turn hostile when she reaches for it to try to hand over to you. However, there is an exit point for the conversation before this happens. This can allow you to obtain both the Runepowder Barrel and Vial (pickpocket the Vial first before taking the Barrel, the Barrel immediately triggers dialog) while leaving Philomeen alive and the game thinking she still has the Vial.

    You don't have to kill Owlbear mother. Goblins will kill her and will take a cub with them in their camp. You can save him from there and get a camp follower and later an ally in the fight against Absolute. You can visit a cave later and get a second half of a spear from her body. The cub in the camp will become a good friend with Scratch. 😊

    If you pick up one of the clubs off the ground from the Moonrise tower prison docks where you save the prisoners, you can reverse pickpocket Duke Ravenguard to get his unique long sword as the club auto equips itself when you put it in anyone’s inventory. I was even able to do this as of yesterday (03-15-24) on Honour mode patch 6…. Used Greater Invis and some buffs. I would not suggest trying this while controlling Wyll as if you fail and get caught you lose the Duke and Wyll and Mizora will also leave if she is in your camp. The Duke and Mizora will also leave notes for you on the ground where they were standing in camp.
