- Speedrun submission for SGDQ 2024.
Run on Patch 6, Hotfix 22, which is a bit slower than previous patches (around 3 minutes), but is the current patch of the game.
Commentary is a bit scuffed, was doing a lot of stuff but hopefully this is good enough!
Broadcasted live on Twitch -- Watch live at / chronos
Heyo everyone!
Sorry for the delay in the tutorials, was busy working on this for SGDQ 2024 submissions, but this should be a good enough explanation for the new glitchless route on Patch 6 for a bit.
Will finish the other tutorials and stuff this upcoming week now that my workload has lightened a bit, so expect them to come this next week.
If anyone has any questions feel free to comment down below to ask!
No questions, just commenting to say it's fun watching your runs, and that I'm looking forward to the future tutorials! It's totally possible to follow your gameplay in these runs, but I really appreciate the more long form tutorial that explains not only the "what" and "when" but also the "how" and "why". Great work bud!
Will you make an update once you get an answer for SGDQ to keep us in the loop? also love your runs :)
@@chrisbigglock1529 For sure, I'll make an announcement if I do!
Is the second potion of speed required? Because I did not get lucky with the mindflayers
@@dungeonboss8356 It's not required, but it is very useful, you do need at least 1 though.
Just casually finished the game faster than I left the nautiloid
Hell, I usually take longer than this just to create my character.
edit toon and make up etc. start ticking the clock :)
@@theviniso
Your game loads in less than an hour???
1 hours to leave the naughtyloid bro???
see you in 1000 hours when you have completed the game lol
If you are alright by jahera, then you're alright by me
They really need to patch these quips for the vendors. This one or Auntie Ethel's "Want me to take a look at the bugger?". Annoys me when I have to repeat dealing with them over & over.
right when she said it i read this comment
the key to the speedrun: Being alright by Jaheira
@@mehashonhold Patching things like that and other glitches which have been present for months are low priority - there's kissing scenes to add, after all.
@@channelthechannel I swear after patch 6 I couldn't play for a straight week because of game crashes and laggy vendor inventories. I now fear every update and hotfix they release
Giant Jaheira jumps into the temple of Bhaal.
Throws Orin into the abyss.
Refuses to elaborate.
Leaves (this world).
I freaking laughed my ass off when I watched that part even though I read this comment beforehand agshahahahshahag
I got a ridiculous init roll where one of the servants actually walked over and picked up the netherstone before I could, very silly stuff lol
This is canon as far as I am concerned 😄
It felt very on-brand for Bhaal. I'm sure he approved.
43:33
I love the fact you explained every moves you did and why, it's very important imo to understand some game mechanics
and yet I don't have my golden dice because I need one more battle for one more loot
Me at 45 minutes on Honor mode: okay, let's go meet Astarion and Gale.
Cronos: okay, so we'll drop all these fireworks and... That's game.
Random tip most people don’t know but if you look under the cliff where Astarion is - there is a chest that can be search under a rock with 2 speed potions for free
Feel like this may be faster but I’m no speed runner
This is the safety strat that I'll use at GDQ if it gets in!
Wait, ive been there, passed perception check but there was only lose rock that I couldn't do anything with
@@Essutos Move the rock, it's right below it.
@@Essutos it req str of 14 i think to move it, might be higher or lower, but it has a str req for sure
Amazing. What I love about your glitchless runs is that it's obvious how much work goes in to them. You use item locations, environmental tech, and spells that are so unique and need both practice and deep game knowledge to work in the right ways. Keep up the good work.
I love speedruns for the fact that my honor mode run took 50 hours and heres you beating it in 50 minutes. Even after years of watching speedruns im always in awe and they never fail to amaze me. Congrats on the run i hope you can get into SGDQ with it and thanks for bringing it to us.
damn 50 hours is pretty good too, I took 90 hours for my honor mode run...spent like 20 minutes before each big fight planning lol
@@suleyman2768hey if it works that's all that matters lol
50? like you skip content or what?
@@oppai9611 i did indeed skip alot of the creche (didnt wanna deal with gith ambushes) aswell as the raphael fight. I did everything else.
@@oppai9611 with 50 hours i rather think he did all there is to do lol
I followed as closely as i could to do almost exactly what you did. somehow by the end of the run jaheira was seen by someone as i was trying to jump my way across to the brain stem. she died and i had already killed la'zeal so i attempted to spawn in a hierling from withers to be my sudo jaheira. they also died. so i snuck my mindflayered ass up to the stem my own way. scared to death i still used the mage hand/ invis trick as i climbed the brain. invis still worked. made my way to the portal. used levitate to go down to the brain. placed all my bombs/fireworks/a nautiloid barrel and an oil barrel. levitated back up. used fierce perilous stakes on myself. ended my turn and prayed. the brain dropped those orb things put up a shield and back to me. throw the firebomb at the rest of the bombs and Fkn KILLED EM!!!! Thank you for this video. was a lil tricky to follow. a slowed down version would be nice i bet for other people. other wise it all ended up working out, so thank you again Chronos! (i finished in about 3 and a half hours, playing and stopping to watch and rewatch certain moments of the run, like dialog options, level ups, or jump pathing)
The good thing is that, if everything goes wrong, you only lost about 2 to 10 hours, not fucking 60 like I lost
Actually same for me when I was doing a more full playthrough of it. Made it to ketheric after 60 ish hours and died on his second phase lol
@@doctertroncat3147 i died in the beggining of act 3 in the bombs under arfurs "mansion". Stupid traps.
Was the game ran in patch 5
Awesome run! Hopefully the bad luck shows the judges you can recover from even the biggest “that never happened” moments. Personal highlight is the strategist inspiration appearing as Jaheira jumps off the cliff 44:10.
Thank you for doing this video on patch 6. It's honestly super inspiring, this was the video that got me off my ass to finally try some speedruns of the game. I doubt it would have had the same effect if I had needed to downpatch.
"If you're allright by Jahe... take ca..."
Glad youtube recommendations finally recommended something good I really enjoy your commentary and I hope to see you at SGDQ
Thanks for bringing this run updated.
I like training these run to get to know the game better. I have no intention of competing, but rather learning the techniques.
Tks!
That’s how I learned to play the RE games as RE2 was my first game but had speed running potential and it’s fun. I’m trying to do the same with BG3 cause I suck at lot
Thank you for the guide. I was able to complete a run after about 30 attempts by following your steps. Aside from making silly mistakes, the major challenges were the githyanki versus emperor fight and the use of invisibility potions towards the end.
If the githyanki fight extends beyond one turn and they cast hold on Jaheira, it usually ends badly. And at the end for some reason, throwing the potion doesn't always render the target invisible. It seems more reliable to break the potion with the arm next to the character instead of throwing it, although it could just be my luck.
For this reason, I opted to stock up on two additional invisibility potions while purchasing bombs, allowing for two attempts with each character at the end. However, this lengthens the run as it requires accumulating more gold prior to the bomb shopping segment.
Thank you Chronos so much, for using actual version and sharing your knowledge
This is so funny to watch as a regular player lol. Also you have strong "cool university professor" vibes. Subbed
"that time I destroyed the elder brain using some fireworks bought by selling ketheric's armor"
My 1st speed run ive witnessed in bg3. Its great to see the game played this way as well as taking 300 hrs. Cant wait to see more optimal runs
A big thank you chronos, yet another person who would never have obtained their golden dice without you. I improvised the ending thanks to this video
Bro, this is awesome.
I have loved this game. I beat it a couple times then told my wife I wanted to get the platinum trophy on PS5 (which included beating it on tactician). So I did it.
Then I wanted to beat it on Honour mode. And I did it.
…. And now I’m wanting to speed run and solo play it, and I’m learning a lot from what you did here. ….you skipped so much, and you were very meticulous on locations of jumps. Wow.
When I died at Mykrul my first HM playthrough at 28 hours, I almost gave up.
I can’t believe how easy you made that fight.
Thanks for the awesome video!
I wanted to beat honor mode in one day so I used your video for reference. I’m taking a break at the lower city right now but let me tell you about my two failed attempts.
The first attempt was the worst thing ever, I had been searching for speed potions for over an hour, in the end I decided to backtrack to paladins of tyr area and just pick up some hyena ears. All was going well up until the myrkul fight where a bomb exploded in my hand as I wasn’t paying attention to you saying the first batch is glitched. So I started another one (Edit: I also rolled a 1 when calling karniss in this one so very unfortunate)
Now in this one I decided to sidetrack a little to get as much exp as possible and get plenty of gold. And for some reason laezel wasn’t at the crossroads so I couldn’t recruit her - didn’t matter, I recruited the rest of the party (although should have just cut gale’s hand because he was painful to deal with + Karlach left so meeh). they came in handy when buying bombs tho, didn’t have to recruit the cleric guy. I decided to go with Astarion to the elder brain. Now when I entered the room where ketheric was, I forgot to separate the party and my tav followed invilisble Astarion and my dumb self decided to use jump to get back where I was AFTER the fight started… I blown up Ketheric and was so excited about it that I saved and then I realised I have no bonus action to drink the haste potion ._. I felt like an absolute moron.
Third time’s the charm, everything went smoothly - in the astral prism fight too so I’m hoping for the best for the act 3 ❤ I really enjoy your videos, thanks for guiding us!
Thank you! I've tried (and failed!) honour mode multiple times, but thanks to this guide I now have a shiny gold dice 😁.
I had to do the Gauntlet of Shar the long way (with lots of cheese) since I couldn't get my Tav to jump through the small gap in the broken stairs but everything else worked on my PS5. Thanks again, these videos are great.
How did you throw Orin off the cliff on ps5? No matter where I target at that edge of the platform as he shows, on ps5 it says “target too far” or “path interrupted”, it won’t let me find a spot that says “death” where I can actually toss oron off.
Also on ps5 for shars temple, I couldnt do the gap either BUT you only need 1 umbrel gem to use the lift to get down there, and you’re perfectly set up for the jumping trial. So I grabbed just one gem, took the lift down, then used “knock” to open the door (only a bit slower than jumping down the gap but faster than getting all the umbrel gems and safer)
I was about to give up on this myself but it is possible. You just have to swing the camera out over the chasm until the 'too far' message changes to a 'death skull' icon. The throw happens off screen thank to the awful camera angles on the ps5.
How did you do the moon lantern bit at start of act 2?
@@JTMynhardt the easiest way is to follow the guide and have shadowheart use command drop to make him drop the moon lantern, but for console just go ahead and have shadowheart pick up the lantern (this will cause a fight) and then open her inventory and send the moon lantern to your tav. The scene will start for the lantern with your tav and you can just let shadowheart die. After she dies, they will all leave and you can go rez her.
It’s possible to also “throw” the moonlantern, which since you aren’t picking it up doesn’t aggro them, and throw it far away so they leave without it. I found that trickier to pull off before he picks it back up off the ground though, so honestly just let shadowheart take the fall.
You absolutely safed me on my plat run. I had no idea how to the netherbrain part after invis got patched. Thabk you so much for a quick nice guide. Everything worked on console for me
What a perfect setup. My goal is to do a single playthrough that gets all trophies except dark urge, tactician and honour mode, and following this speed run with your tutorial, it'll clean up the list nicely! Now to find out what version comes on the disc versions. Could always resort to the default patch.
This run uses the most current patch of the game, which should be the same version that's used on the console versions, if not, I believe everything should work pretty much the same!
@ChronosReturns apologies as it appears I rambled, lol. Understood it is current patch. I might not get to BG3 until June or July depending on their physical versions starting to be shipped. I think they are putting patch 5 or 6 on disc so this will work if they patch something out before I get to it.
@damcrac I just finished it and didn't get sins of the father or embrace your urge trophy btw. You'll likely have to do anither durge run
@blainelacey8953 thank you for letting me know. I think I like this alternative to the custom mode work around/exploit. That'll allow me to use the golden dice.
Did they patch throwing off the githyanki off the map I can’t seem to do it on ps5
congrats on the run!! also thank you for the explanation on the invis last encounter, i never got why my invisibility kept breaking hahaha
After 4 or 5 tries I was able to complete Honour Mode thanks to this video. Appreciate your work on it!
How did you do the moonlantern bit?
@@JTMynhardtdid you figure it out? Not sure how to do it on console
@RyGuy11004 I was having trouble getting it into the basket fast enough too. I found that just picking it up, as if to drag it to the side, hold it. They all run away.
@@JTMynhardt
Just grab it and go straight to camp.
Thanks so much for the commentary! Everything was super easy to follow. I beat it second try 1h 31m in-game time, although I did do some glitches in the final act (kidnapping gortash + orin dev room) playing as gale origin since I did NOT want to mess up the final fight lol. I needed a doable guide for the achievement and you perfectly delivered :D
I love the oversight of allowing people to drop stacks of bombs and throw them. Thats a true “not intended by the dev problem.
Can't imagine anything that matters less than what some devs intend. The game is the game, devs did their job and should leave it alone or become the enemy
Thank you, was able to follow this with controller on my PS5 almost completely except for 3 parts: The jump down in the gauntlet of shar, throwing orin off the platform, and the jump you did with jaheira after getting onto the boat in the brainpool. Easily circumvented with; a quick leap of faith trial, an elixer of cloud giant strength, and a bit of jumping around with invisiblity.
Yo, I'm totally stuck on my PS5 on the gauntlet of shar, tried to jump down for an hour but the camera kept going crazy. Can you please post some more tips for how you did the steps you've explained above?
@@UnearnEverythingyou can jump down on console too but instead of using jump I would cast a spell then go into turn based, turn the camera all the way around to the right so you’re looking head on towards the lower level, then use the free storm-sorcerer fly on the left hand side. Jump is technically possible but way harder with the camera imo
@@UnearnEverythingI jumped down to the trial of faith where you can just auto-path walk to the corner of the end platform and boom, got one orb for the elevator.
you can finish bg3 on honor mode and ask steam a refund, you are a legend man!
Great Video. Awesome Commantary. Wish you the best of luck.
The line between glitch and acceptable cheese is quite thin, it seems!
Jump? Clever!
Casting mage hand then entering a cut-scene then switching to a dead companion to "unlock" the characters so you can then use the mage hands to throw potions to make them invisible mid-cut-scene? Also working as intended 😀
Thank you for this! I used your video to do my first attempt. I finished an honor mode playthrough but lost my golden die during a patch update. This let me get my golden die again!
Hey, thanks for the guide! Fairly easy to follow along even with console controls.
If you're like me and wanted to save durge for a legit playthrough, you can't waltz into bhaal temple via birthright. Adds a couple steps but it's still very easy all things considered:
Optional tip 1) recruit Gale, makes life easier later on. Just take small detours for 3 magic items or buy them later.
Optional tip 2) rescue volo for pickpocket profit as necessary, takes two conversations and one illithid check if you need it
3) head to shadow lands as normal, if you're on console command-drop the moon lantern with shadowheart, let her die in combat, resurrect her at camp
4) head to waypoints and shar temple as normal
5) buy bombs and be sure to get stacks right so they don't blow up in your hand, i had to figure out a way to blow them up in a backpack because i didn't do it right
6) release nightsong to zombie man as normal, say bye to shart
7) scale Moonrise to rooftop as this video demonstrates; subtle spell misty step out of trouble; defeat ketheric v1 and v2
(This is where my run got a bit more complicated but with some wiki study i figured out a route to coincide back with this video's upon entering bhaal temple)
8) follow the prism intermission setup i.e. Eldritch knight Jaheira empowered by enlarge, throw monks into the astral plane
9) [im a bit hazy on order here but hopefully it doesn't matter] arrive in rivington, leap to 2nd floor of the bunkhouse across from wyrms crossing waypoint, find murder list, interrogate the mum's body to figure out Dolor is the killer.
Optional 9a) id talk to gortash to make sure he is an ally prior to dealing with Orin. Honor is for slowpoke heroes, and my halfling Tav wants to go home
10) head to lower city, leap to roof of elfsong tavern, go down the hatch to second floor, chat with investigator to trigger murder quest. {I did this before finding Dolor's secret room behind the wardrobe, but maybe it doesnt matter, the order}
11) invisibly pickpocket the poem and the bag o' hands from Dolor as he plans his wine poison; escape detection and head back to basilisk gate
12) break into tombstone shop, infiltrate murder tribunal, lie about being an edgelord, kill an innocent Hollyphant for the greater good and to maintain your double agency. Severok bequethes you the amulet of bhaal.
13) head to sewers via manhole by Baldur's gate waypoint; open first door after orin reveals herself, sneak past ambush, leap to bhaal temple door and open it.
14) enlarge 20 strength jaheira, turn invisible, throw orin to her doom, follow her temporarily until Withers can ctrl+z
15) seal deal with pretty boy
16) head to nether brain, try and fail to save Orpheus from illithidhood (i tried to tell them i had a wizard bomb, i tried to convince laezel vlaakkith wanted her bones, to no avail. If no emperor, someone becomes a squid i guess)
15) leap invisibly to brainstem, and have gale take one for the team
GG! I play quite slow so this took me two nights and 12ish hours of game time, more with my planning. But definitely a nice quick way to achievement compared to a legit painstaking honor run.
Thank you, I finally have my golden dice
saw you do a halo speedrun and then this popped up randomly. Glad it did, I love seeing speedruns with great commentary
Nice. Learned the old route through your vid’s and was wondering how a route on current patch would go. Good stuff!
This speedrun is a welcome sight after seeing those obnoxious any% speedruns. Really amazing stuff here
Thanks to following your run my brother and I were able to beat honour mode last night. Thanks!
Pretty awesome explanation and very well played, I really hope I see you and this run at the event!
Me: 322hrs into the end of act 2 🤦♂️
Still love this game. So many individual experiences possible. It's going to hold up for well over a decade like the others.
Thank you Larian! I wish you would do 4 as you're equipped. It must've been a lot of stress to say no.
thank you for also explaining what you're doing!
Hi all, I manage to do it thanks to this tuto,
Small tips if you want to try it,
IF mind flayer doesn’t drop you the speed potion (it’s random) you can go to the small cave (below the place where you meet astarion) move a rock and you will find garantied 2 speed potions
Hope it helps thank you
Ayy! This guide is awesome. I had some mishaps but I managed to get by and get the achievement.
I must have selected the wrong dialogue with Gortash so I had to blow him up using Jahera. I had to steal more fireworks for the final boss.
Jahera got spotted by an imp and taken out immediately, so I had to solo the Brain. It worked out in the end!
Good luck with your submission! This run is impressive as always.
It's like seeing my life flash before my eyes 😂😂
Beat this run on honor mode today you are AMAZING, thank you for the great tips and amazing run 🎉
Thank you for this amazing guide
Greetings from Poland😉
found this video utterly fascinating and appreciated the way you narrated what was happening
Very nice Speedrun, thx for the explanations!
Subscribed & Twitch followed in the first minute. There's good gameplay, and then there's good people. I could tell early on you bring both to the table, and I think that's neat. Love your abundantly clear passion and, as others have noted, your very relaxing and coherent explanations throughout.
Some things any people trying to copy this run should watch out for:
- You can triple dash before you even enter Turn Based Mode. This immediately gives you the maximum (4 * base) movement speed that you can achieve with dash actions. This could be useful for making riskier sections less risky (at least 9 more meters of movement vs. dash -> TBM -> dash, and you keep your bonus action).
- I regularly found opportunities to use TBM to pause what I was doing so that I could check this video. It seems that the Enhance Leap and Feather Fall spells consume spell slots if they are used in TBM, so anyone who wishes to refresh those buffs should remember to do so before entering TBM.
- I accidentally tried to walk to the Nautiloid console during my 1st attempt. Don't do that. Those enemies will absolutely one shot a 5 HP Tav if they don't reach the console within their 1st turn; the character needs to jump to the console immediately after they've looted the 2nd Mind Flayer.
- I did not get the speed potions I needed during one of my early attempts. I also failed the Nature check on the rock that supposedly covers a chest with 2 guaranteed speed potions (someone else in these comments described that such a chest is near Astarion - maybe I actually looked in the wrong place, I don't know). Speed potions are...a problem.
- Jumping past the nearby enemies to reach the end of Act I was riskier than it looked, even with the Fog Cloud present. There's probably a safer method.
- Sending Lae'zel to Last Light Inn with 1 click seems to be as precise as it looks. I had her go somewhere else entirely, and when I tried to carefully extract her so that she wouldn't enter combat with any unexpected enemies, she wandered off into an ambush anyway, because the pathfinding in this game is awful. In fact, I had to revert my save multiple times throughout the run because my characters would try to walk when I was just trying to click a portrait, and they would always choose the most dangerous routes. I had my character literally jump off the map while I was in the middle of clicking elsewhere entirely AND spamming my Escape key to cancel the jump action (which doesn't seem to actually work, even though Escape is the most intuitive key for canceling actions).
- I don't think it was mentioned in the video until an inconvenient, later moment (if it was at all), but...players need to be hiding BEFORE they Misty Step out of the pods with Subtle Spell. This is also why we need to aim for the spot that isn't highlighted red (unlike the surrounding areas, which are within enemy vision cones). Misty Step doesn't end hiding, but it DOES end invisibility...
- I did not actually have enough bombs for Myrkul even after refreshing the shop as many times as it was refreshed in this video. I had to use one of those "glitched" bombs by having another character (the one that helped Aylin) place it near Myrkul. I was able to have that character disengage and move away from the explosion within the same turn, though their survival may not have mattered. A better solution would have involved stealing gold from Withers (just in case), going through the class change menu, and repeating the process of refreshing the shop so that I could buy bombs until I definitely had enough before leaving Last Light Inn.
- When I tried to click on the portal during the Gith ambush, my character walked behind it instead, which consumed the rest of her movement speed. It seems that the safe way to escape the ambush is to jump so that your character lands a bit further from the portal, because the place you have to click to interact with it is actually in front of it. (Why??)
- My chance to successfully throw Orin was much lower (25% vs. 36% in the video, IIRC). I got lucky and succeeded anyway, but oof.
- Speaking of Orin, I had to use Turn Based Mode so that I could buy time to figure out how to throw her. I had to find a completely different place to put my cursor before the game indicated that throwing her would be fatal, and I still have no idea how to position my character on the altar like that (since clicking the altar just has the character try to interact with it). The video could have been much more clear about that part.
- Gortash did not talk to me again after his ceremony. I had to actually go to his office to talk to him and progress further, and there was no waypoint. I'd never been there before, so I had to find it on my own. It wasn't too complicated: right side of the room, at the back (from the door we came from, facing toward the throne), take the staircase, move as though you were within the room below and moving to leave through the door you entered from, enter the door you pass on your way (as though you were heading toward the throne again).
- It's not clear which enemies can see invisible characters, and the mess of buildings at the last location before climbing to the final fight formed visuals that were too hard for me to parse. I got lost immediately and wandered into an enemy that can see invisible characters. It looked like an imp. I realized later that I had moved to the left too early, well before the Nautiloid Tanks. Oops?
- Having the mage hands throw the invisibility potions means they can miss, which is the last thing you want at the very end of an Honor Mode run. I had them attack the potions instead. The game insists that attacking them can't fail. My experiences have, so far, agreed.
Also, the dialogue in this video is way too hard to track. I regularly struggled while trying to determine which dialogue options to choose (when they mattered). A simple cheat sheet overlay would have been nice ("1-2-2" for the final Gortash dialogue after his ceremony, "Spam 1" where applicable, etc.).
I love when someone speedruns a game in incredible time that i will routinely put 200 hours into each playthrough
Great Speedrun, will be amazing to see you on sgdq this year
Bro, I lost my honor run on arfurs mansion by traps. Got so pissed of that to compensate, gonna waste a couple of hours (not as much as fucking 60) to do copy this speedrun. Thanks for the tips and ideas!
Always a blast to enjoy a pro speed run 🎉
Oh good, I got stuck in the glitch run though shar door, this is great, thank you !
Very interesting run, thanks for sharing your work !
Insane run. Thanks for explaining everything you are doing. Other videos running Honor Mode don't explain anything
@chronos if you accidentally get into the dialogue with Raph in front of the gauntlet of shar entrance you can attack him to immediately end the dialogue and he'll just disappears. No ramifications for it. It'll save maybe half a second if you accidentally get into the dialogue.
That's pretty neat and good to know! Definitely will keep this in mind in the future if I ever fail sneaking past by accident.
That explosives bundle that blows up a god... yeah, that puts a smile on my face. And if you think about it, its kinda realistic. No one said its impossible to gather a bunch of high yield explosives in a bag and then lunch that package into someones face.
Great explanations and tech used, thanks for posting this!
You ran this faster than I've done some fights. Wild.
thank you very much. your video is very well explained
Thanks so much for this video man. Used this to get my last achievement I needed on Xbox for Honour Mode 😁😁👍👍
How did you do the moonlantern bit?
Awesome! Now I’ll want to sidecar this run. Thanks for sharing and elaborating!
The smokepowder cheese strat against Avatar of Myrkul has been nerfed. The bombs explode prematurely now and barely makes a dent on the giant skeleton.
It should still work on current patch. The bombs exploding prematurely is because of a bug called misfires, which happens with the first set of bombs that you buy from a shop that will blow up on you, so you can not use those bombs. You also need to make sure you are throwing the bombs correctly, which is having the Callous Glow Ring equipped, and thrown at the floor, not the enemy in order to have the correct amount of damage.
God damn it, I died cos I didn’t know the Gortash dialogue options🤬🤬
Well to summarise guys, my mage hand missed throwing the invis potion…… so yeah
Tav lands on the beach. Instantly begins jumping around the forest, looting maniacally. Picks up goth girl along the way.
I love speedruns being unrealistically canon.
Impressive run, great job!!!
IT WORKS! I DID IT TODAY. But i changed some things. I took more invisibility potions, some more bombs... etc. I did it in 5´40 h, chilling. I think that the worst part is Katheric fight, bcs if you dont have the ring equipped, you will fail. I speak spanish and my english is regular but if you have some specific question i can answer... More or less :P
AND CHRONOS YOURE THE BEST I learned a lot!!!! Thanks for your work and the amazing video
Everyone has left the party.
Sacrifices were made.
Chronos: Casually playing threw one of the best videogames of all time on the hardest difficulty while explaining all the little secrets, faster than I left the tutorial.
Me:
I would love to see this at GDQ. You go man!
I love how Jahera was inspired by her own murder/suicide
Just a thought. Varanna Sunblossom, the Half-Wood Elf hireling from Withers, has the Soldier background and is a Half-Wood Elf, like Jaheira, so has proficiency in Athletics, and is accessible the moment you get Withers.
And she'll never leave you.
That's a cool idea, however Jaheira starts at a base level of 8 when recruiting her, while any other hireling will only match Durge's level iirc, and we need a high enough level to have the Strength for throwing NPCs as well.
@@ChronosReturns
I think you're right about the hireling level. Jaheira it is then.
I'm playing Act 3 in my own game, as a Duergar Sword Bard, and there is so much to do.
A 48 minute speedrun was truly shocking.
holy jesus christ, man is a king among peasants
I followed your incredible video until the end of Act 2, when I found that it's impossible to take down Kethric Thorm and Merkle with just 8&10 bombs, not even close. I believe that this is because Larian strengthened them in some version updates after you posted this video. I tried several times in tactician mode and my conclusion is you need at least 38 bombs to one-shot both.
No, it still works on current patch, you need to throw the stack on the ground next to them, bot directly on them to get high ground advantage and you need the Callous Glow Ring equipped for it to work.
I kind of wish they included a band of powerful warriors somewhere that just straight up jumped into your party or patrolled like that. This was cool to watch.
I just completed the run and I cant preface this enough, some of this was a pain in the arse, that mage hand double invis throw was a whole thing. Also Jaheira failed the Orin throw several times. I really enjoyed learning more about the game doing this however.
Entering act 2 like:
"Alright Lae'zel, you go get chastised by the elderly elf lady, I'm gonna jump at the devil, and shadow heart, you stay here and look pretty"
Holy moly did that myrkul fight make me realize that my run for honour mode was done waaaaaaay wrong... lol
Thank you very much for this guide!
In case anyone is as dumb as me, DO NOT mix the first stack of bombs with the others. I know it was said they were bugged but I didn't know that meant to make distinct stacks to avoid the bugged ones. 💀
Okay, I figured out what I did wrong. I made the mistake of using the backpack swap trick to steal the bombs and other items. Somehow that process bugged all the bombs out. When I tried again following the video EXACTLY, everything worked as shown. Lesson learned. Hope my ADHD lesson helped someone. 🤭
Happy this has a speedrun that isn't just "warp to the final boss lol"
getting inspired "strategist" for jahira jumping off the edge sent me 💀
Stock up while you can. I only hope I've brought enough to see us through.
Anybody following this tutorial please make sure to set aside the first stack of bombs you buy from lastlight inn, THEY ARE BUGGED, and will blow up in your hand if you try to throw them. He mentions this in the video but it is easily missed.
really cool stuff man, good work
Congrats on making the cut ! =D
Failing the command: drop on the drider is a run ender (reloading on honour mode is definitely considered a glitch as there is no way to do it in game)
Requires a decent amount of luck, as well as infinite smoke bomb carrying you (also not a glitch?) but generally pretty entertaining.
100% clickbait title though - needs to be in a different category
Edit: you can work around it to make it fool proof and requires zero luck.
The drider does not move after conversation with bugbear. DONT TALK TO DRIDER AFTER BUGBEAR. Drider will stand still, permanently. Move the basket next to the drider. Cast command drop, enter turn base using shift+space. failed? try again. if it worked. jump to the basket while still in turn base. move the basket if needed. open the basket. place the moonlatern in basket. the coyote will stay, and everyone will leave. with shadowheart cast inflict wounds on the coyote after everyone leaves. you get two turns and surprise attack on the coyote as well as your other two team members are there to back up shadowheart. The coyote only has 15hp.
If you get unlucky, the moonlantern clips inside the basket not allowing you to move it inside the basket. just pick up the moonlantern. let them kill shadowheart and revive her at last light inn.
I am faschinated that you somehow just got lvl 8
for anyone wondering how this could be remotely possible it looks like its majority feather fall triple jump and you just literally jump thru the game in under 50 mins
Imagine just seeing a guy jump like 200 meters casually through the woods
That skip for the elevator in the Temple of Shar to the Shadowfel avoided the glitch I ran into. Going down the elevator Karlach and Gale stayed on the elevator, while my main character and Shadowheart stayed in place and fell down the chasm when the elevator moved out from under neath them. Honour run lost.
I've learned if a character ever gets stuck anywhere to try and fast travel with that character to any of your waypoints u unlocked
@@doctertroncat3147 I tried. Since the character were just downed and wouldn't fully die, the only thing I could try was a short rest, revived them only to instantly take damage again to down them.
Thanx for the content! I’m really bored of the killing shadowheart stuff speedrun
Great content and great explanations :)
I do not think it is a bug that you can accidentally detonate smokepowder bombs on a speedrun. It seems like a natural consequence of handling smokepowder in haste.
