You got Lolth's attention. You don't want Lolth's attention.
You want Lolth to be on your side but not that close that you eventually get sacrificed.
Lolth: "Oh, you're doing a lot of stuff that I like. That's great! I can't wait to meet you :)"
And then she either kills you so your soul is with her, or she actually visits you and you lose your mind and/or life.

Drizzt got all of her attention for couple hundreds of years at this point and he seems to not be bothered
@@looneymar9153 There were literal wars influenced by Lolth because Drizzt had her attention. Drizzt (and even his companions) went thru constant hell just because she both favored and hated Drizzt.
Problem was, Drizzt largely didn't know Lolth felt thst way about him.
Lolth: "Ah most excellent. Here is a single solitary jumping spider that will sit on your shoulder and throw insults at you for your weakness for the remainder of the day. Return tomorrow for another!"
👌
And you don't wanna find out what happens to you, if anything happens to the Jumping Spider! Which is fair enough!! Because they should be protected!

*Surprise pop quiz*
@@smackfanxion Maybe she did step on Tav, but she liked it so it motivated her
Minthara knows better than anyone that to worship Lolth is not out of love, but fear
She reacts the same to any diety worship as far as i know
@@TheRifild kinda makes sense. as there is no gods left for her etc etc
your gifts you can find them under the temple. It's all fake acutatlly.
@@VITAS874 It's not fake. You make the donation to the temple, that allows the temple to expanse and get more followers and, I think (not sure if that's how it works in DnD, I think it does, but I may be mistaken) more power to the god in question. But if you take that gold back, you get cursed and attacked by a celestial. And celestials aren't summoned by the temple.
@@Veridiano02 This is probably a reference to real life, when you give donations to church they go into priest pocket and not to improve the temple, for example, or whatever.
omg the fact that Minthara disapproves if you make an offering to Lolth is such a nice detail
👍
@@inigoimago 👍
Tbh they have a lot of cool stuff like this
Like if Minthara invades the grove and you’re a cleric of Elistraee and are like “I WILL SHOW YOU THE POWER OF A TRUE GOD” Shadowheart disapproves bc while she’s certainly not Selûne, one of Elistraee’s domains is light, and since one of shar’s big things is darkness shadowheart naturally isn’t the biggest fan of Elistraee
@@petrasbirthdaygoblinhoney4565 👍
She disapproves no matter who you make an offering too
According to what ive heard of Lolth you are lucky to not get covered in spiders
Or unlucky, if you're a devout follower. Depends on the point of view. 😅
Where should I pray to get covered in spiders? I'm tired of paying 100$ just to get one
"But it was too late, she was already pouring him a cup of spiders"
I've been trying so hard to piss her off she makes my character a drider.
Or lucky not to be turned into a drow spider.
Oh. Drider. I never got that till just now.
Like with most evil deities, you mainly pray to them so they DON'T intervene in your shit
Thank god they can't read your mind hahahaha.
Not me, I pray to Bhaal so that blood will spill. It matters not whose blood it is!
@@gabrielbjornursidae*Starts to leak blood from all pores of his body*
Bhaal : Ha, this brat said that he wanted to have blood to be spilled but forgot to exclude himself from the deal
@@sephikong8323 And the evil Durge would see it as a gift from Poppop.
If you are praying to Lolth for literally any reason, even if just to placate her then you deserve whatever comes next.
Lolth is the one goddess you never acknowledge ever because being her loyal follower is no different from being her enemy.
In the game's defense, you only need 4000 gold's worth offering.
And you can steal everything back
@@catherinekhlebnikova4562 You get a debuff if you steal inside the temple
@@AverageBraids
Only if you steal it with the character that did the offering. Offer with Tav, steal with Astarion. Done.
@@Janovjevalso I’m pretty sure the debuff ain’t that bad. Just have to kill a celestial or something.
@@JangoMango007 It has other effects, but remove curse will nullify those. Whenever you lose the curse, that's when the offended god sends a strong guy after you, which is triggered on death, or Remove Curse.
Real Lolth blessing would show you a +2 but give you an actual -4 at the worst possible time.
Get 1 all rolls.
Lolth: "I want Minthara. Sacrifice her to my name."
Player: "And then you will give me blessing?"
Lolth: "Give? Lolth does not give. Lolth takes."
Player: Maybe we can have a compromise. She has forsakem you so I let you punish her by making her a drider. (So we can have a beautiful webbing.) How does that sound?
Since when is it a problem. You can always use your problem as an offering.
Is she a god or a demon lord from the abyss? And even then, Orkus who is a big asshole would give me something for a sacrifice, turn me into a lich, a death knight, a cool cursed weapon, but it will be something
Lolth just takes your gold and congratulates you on not being the next Kar'niss. Yet.
😆
Lolth from lore would of struck you down where you stood for daring to ask for help.
Really is a missed opportunity that so many times as a cleric of lolth you ask her for help and receive it instead of her fury which would of been far more on theme for her.
If Lolth never helped, there would be no cleric class for her -- and therefore, nobody would worship her. She does help. If you're worthy. She just encourages in-fighting among the clerics.
@@chesswithconstantine there is a difference in "I give you power for your worship/sacrifices" and "you begged me for help so here I go." Lolth explicitly views asking her for help as an insult, which is why the common saying among Drow is "Test me Lolth" with the mindset they have to overcome the tests not ask for help to handle them.
@@Kingofredeyes Wealth is a sacrifice.
@@chesswithconstantine sacrifices to lolth are slaves, IE living people, not wealth. Giving money to her would likely get you killed.
She would likely just send a handmaiden to make love to you and then they will ask what blessing you would like. At least according to RA Salvatore
Imagine you did all that and she just changes you into a drider
It's not that bad, still alive.
A what rider?
@@Life-qo2uj A drider.
LMFAO
hot
I think it's be hilarious if praying to Lolth as a Male Drow just gave you -2 Curse instead.
Unless you are Drizzt, then she is all "Hell YEAH! I'll even give you your dad back free of charge". Ad Drizzt wasn't even praying, just snidely said that she is a worthless goddess if she is never nice to her worshippers.
Or Jarlaxle. Or Gromph. Or Kimmuriel. She likes them too.
She's so wild like that.
Them: I detest her.
Lloth: I like HIM!
lol
We chase what is running from us.
Imagine Rock star. It is unlikely that you will notice or fall in love with groupies.
Well given the stakes, maybe even Lloth doesn't want the Absolute to win. Just enough to not shower you in spiders.
Right? Not just Lolth every god will lose their followers if the Absolute succeeds but they are all afk except for a few gods doing something about it.
Pity that it's a generic blessing, because it would be interesting to see how each of the deities differed in the manifestation. Haven't gotten to this part yet with my cleric of Eilistraee.
That's what I thought would happen. pretty disappointing it is a generic buff. Seems not much is unique besides some dialogue choices. I feel like the game should just let you be a cleric and offer cleric choices like the do for other classes if there isn't going to be a big difference in god choices.
I agree the buffs should be different depending on the God you are praying but I guess Larian just doesn't have the time to furnish act 3.
in this scenario it would have been a malus (Lolth hate when the ones who worship her ask for help or guidance)
@Dr.Quarex Act 3 is super rushed.
I'm pretty sure I don't want anything my god, Talos, can offer me. 😂 Pretty sure Talos would just strike my cleric down with a bolt of lightning.
Girl : prays to Lolth
Lolth : *Steals Astarion for her man-harem then calls you worthless*
It’s criminal this hairstyle isn’t available in character creation
MODS saved the day.
I actually understand why they didn’t do it. It makes the NPCs feel less unique when you can build yourself to look just like them. By restricting Orin’s hair to her, and Shadowheart’s to her, that makes their characters feel a tiny bit more unique, which just adds on to the incredible job by the voice actors and animation department to really build unique characters throughout the whole game.
@@mr.e822 I mean, I get that side of the debate but it's still a bit of a shame that the PC tends to end up looking a bit bland in comparison.
@@coffeekat5066 I agree with that, they should have had unique fantasy-feeling options for the MC in conjunction with having unavailable hairstyles for the companions.
@@mr.e822 Moot argument. NPCs can have their own unique hair styles, there's no problem in that.
The thing is, that hairstyles presented to PC are "safe" as if the devs deemed it too problematic to implement more complex hairstyles, like Orin's. Which is clearly not the case, because Orin is allowed to have it and it works perfectly fine for the PC, so... gib more? Nope, better make 10 different afro styles instead and give SH some bowl cut-tier of hairstyle that has no right to fit her more "mature" face.
I know it's just a cutesy little side system that doesn't matter, but getting unique buffs from at least the more famous Gods, and maybe getting unique blessings if you give them specific items, eg The Blood of Lathamder to Lathander would be neat and I hope it eventually gets added
Different buffs, interaction and dialogs would be much appreciated but I don't think Larian will give us that.
@@AverageBraids Larian is pretty critical of religious institutions. So yeah, probably not.
@@Anarch_Busheyas a Catholic that’s is disheartening, but I’m not surprised.
@@xgreedxx critical doesn't necessarily mean they're outright bad -- it just doesn't pull punches against the realities of religion. there's plenty of instances of religion providing hope and strength in bg, but you also have to remember the deities are also very fallible, and a testament to why blind faith in both individuals and institutions is a bad idea.
@@ave789 problem arises when critical is bad as usually as this goes the criticism is a rhetorical cartoon view of religion based on a atheist fantasy and rhetoric, which is usually the case nowadays.
You got a -1 approval from minthara if you pray to any deity and a -5 if you pray to Lolth
🤣
I know there’s SO much stuff in this game, but seriously it would’ve been so cool to briefly interact with your deity at an altar as they give you a blessing.
One minor thing of “difference” I noticed was my DURGE Lolth Sworn Drow on redemption path has a slightly different narrated line describing standing before the statue of Selûne than when Shadowheart approaches her:
I donated $5000-ish worth for both, but when SH approaches the Narrator ends the opening description with: “Selûne welcomes you.” Before you request her blessing. But to my character, even after my donation and coming back after a rest to get the blessing for the day. she offers the blessing and says my offering proves my devotion, but the warmer reading with “Selune Welcomes you.” Is not there.
It is a small thing.
an interaction from Lolth would be like all those "This is why australia is scary" spider videos
@@NathanielTavington - whereas an interaction with Eilistraee is an advertisement for a Brazilian Beach Resort during a music festival.
"Interactions" with Lolth are rarely beneficial, especially if you're male
lol, in the thumb nail that's the shape Elise from LoL ❤
Shhh, they don't know that.
That Dark Souls 3 main menu background music makes this more chilling than is necessary.
There's just no right answer for this Goddess is there?
"Help me?"
Die, weakling.
"I want to help you."
Die, busybody.
"Just praying for you wellness."
You calling me inadequate? Die.
"I...OMG sorry wrong house!"
Lloth empties her entire AR15 clip through the door.
You just have to be extremely neutral when it comes to Lolth.😂
MAGAZINE! 😭😤😡🤯
Usually the best way to get Lolth to 'help' you is to talk shit about other people so she gets upset on them. The entire drow priesthood is just tattleling on each other so they can watch Lolth murder them.
The dark souls 3 theme music is a nice touch.
Thanks
+2 saving throws to everything is akin to +4 in all 6 ability scores (~24 points worth) albeit w/o skill prof's...4500 gold is cheap and you get the buff all day, everyday. Thing about Saving Throws is that you never overtly see it and no one keeps count of when its really needed so it feels like nothing but for the cost, its a great 20% resist buff to debuffs and status ailments against you including slipping/shoving/knockdown/etc. It's actually really good...and cheap!
It is cheap but I'm too lazy to go to the temple everytime I rest.
@@AverageBraids
So the struggle of religious people in real life too.
That's a true role playing game XD
I think you mean 100 gold is cheap. The cost is 500x[Character Level] so hitting up Withers to knock you down to level 1 before you go and get the buff makes it dirt cheap.
@@S3Cs4uN8 Or just go to basement and get your money back. Don't forget 'remove curse' spell or scroll and be ready to a fight with a celestial.
@@S3Cs4uN8holy that's a clear 5Head move
Do you want spiders? Because that's how you get spiders.
Lolth more likely to smother you in spiders for irritating her with a prayer than actually give you a blessing.
True🤣
C'mon whole dark elves cities pray to her daily and their civilization thrive with economic prosperity, Innovation, quality medicine, law and order on streets.
The spider bath blessing is Loths greatest gift
You gotta love how you fight against the creature whose power rivals that of the gods and seeks world domination and the gods themselves still expect you to chip in on their new car before giving you a little buff.
0:30 smallest donation in your local church btw
i think the perk is worth it but its kinda dumb that you have to go get it every day. i just end up forgetting about it
Exactly
Exactly why I have not done it. Too many things to redo each day already.
I love how Minthara disapproved of your devotion to Lolth 😂
Nothing like Baldur's Gate 3 with the Dark Souls 3 theme playing for background music.
I was expecting a Yochlol to be sent by Lolth to .... do things
👍
Lolth: “Everyone has a maid fetish, right?”
LOVE the hair.
Its from a MOD "Variant of Orin's hair".
I was so sad when I realized offering the Lathander mace to Lathander doesn’t have any special dialogue and it treats it like any other weapon :(
praying to Lolth is seen as an act of weakness in her eyes, so this prayer likely should’ve went unanswered lol
Pretty sure it's caah value of 4-5k, and the anointed in splendour buff is the same no matter the god.
Yep
Goes to show that no matter the religion, gods can't manifest money. Oh, and forget deeds. We need your devotion to have a cash value.
@@coldhaven1233 Shhhh
You ask for your goddess blessing.
Lolth: How dare you!? 😠
Is it worth it? Not really. But as a Cleric, it was so cool to see the Holy Symbol over your head every day. Did people see the Spider over her head? I had Tymora, so I got the Coin with the Lady Luck on it. Was very cool to see!
Lol just respec to level 1 again and you only need to donate 400 gp def worth it. Works for the same mechanics for increasing merchant attitude. The amount of gold donated increases per level.
"LOLTH, I COME BEFORE YOU AS BUT A SERVANT, HUMBLE AND CONTRITE. i have placed my offering and ask for Your favor."
Lolth: *chokes on tea* oh shit, I WASN'T READY. UH UH UH UH UMMMMM. *digs around in pockets* here have this!
👍
😆
The most responsible Lolth has ever been.
Hehe the Elise teaser in the thumbnail
Shhh they don't that.🤣
I absolutely love the hair!!!
MOD list in the description 😁
@@AverageBraids unfortunately I'm a console player 😭
My lolth-sworn drow’s name is Icarus. She’s a bardbarian who sung praises to Lolth but her faith is actually pretty shallow. Yet despite being shallow her faith is steady for as long as she’s in the underdark to to her nature as a social chameleon. The problems happen when she started to encounter surface dwellers. Lolth isn’t kind to traitors and thus to avoid retribution Icarus remains nominally loyal to Lolth but it’s a dangerous game she’s playing.
When I worship Tempus the narrator actually calls him out by name. Nothing special, but she does say he's the god of honorable battle and stuff.
Guess Amelia Tyler doesn't like spiders.
I mean +2 in D&D maths is a ton
That dark souls 3 soundtrack in the background is fitting.
You can always get the statue from the circus in your image to get a permanent bless buff, plus you can be naked
Done that already
I didn't even know about that! I was just so confused about why I had a bless buff for no reason!
No shit, I was wondering where the permanent bless came from
wait what if u ordered one for ur companions will u still get the buff?
@@GuyunZhongli-ow4ti I think only the one that had the statue made out of
It's much more common for a priestess of Lolth to pray to one of the Yochlol than Lolth herself. Even then only those with lolths favor dared call upon the handmaidens because they would just as easily turn against the drow that called on them as grant them what they wanted. Lolth herself often couldn't be bothered.
It’d be hilarious if they put that she curses you just for laughs.
That is totally possible.
At least Shar's gift was very handy dandi in her temple!
Lolth in most depictions wouldn't have helped at all if anything in most instances it would have incurred a debuff rather than a buff.
although that debuff would likely have given way to a buff or boon after it passes.
basicly a trial
Lolth doesnt value weakness. the weak serve the strong and those who are below an allowed threshold must be culled.
you only get rewarded if you prove that you are strong. each reward must be earned with an uphill battle for ones life.
although it doesnt entirely surprise me that they went with this option because coding Lolth separately and punishing the player for choosing her would both be unnecessarily time consuming and would be a pain for the avarage player
also another reason they probably didnt include unique stuff for Lolth is that,
despite Lolth being an option Baldur's Gate isn't really a location of particular interest to Lolth.
Baldur's gate doesn't currently fall into her list of i want to merge this realm into my own. or at least its not high on that list
Lmao minthara told me to excuse her while she went to spit on the altar for lolth
The Elise sneak in the thumbnail haha
Shhh not a lot of players know that.
Liked for the DS3 background music
👍
Lolth blesses you with a million phase spiders which will chase and teleport to you for eternity
🤣
The souls 3 menu music is somehow fitting
The Dark Souls 3 OST make everything even wow
My Tav would offer every poison she had, a bunch of random gems and her beloved family of spiders she has been keeping safe in her pocket since she was 5 years old 😅
🤣
I wonder if warlock would be different..
Probably the same response.
@@AverageBraids might have to try it out on game to see so yee
Wish they could change it so that the blessing is different depending on the god
Ds3 theme hits so hard
The correct price here is 4000. Which is the same as a +2 cloak of resistance. So it is something that frees up your cloak slot in return for some micromanagment.
👍
Lolth actually giving a blessing gels with what she's been doing the rest of the story.
She gets upset if you perform the ritual to get her daughter's sword in the underdark, but not if you just yank it out and even if you do perform the ritual she's just mildly upset with you. She has no problem with you pretending to be her for a bunch of spiders provided you don't suck at it.
Lolth may be evil and petty but she's not stupid. Giving her "usual" punishment/blessing would impede your ability to kill the Absolute, who is a threat to her people. And since mindflayer colonies exist all over the place in the Underdark, Lolth is PARTICULARLY aware of how dangerous they can be.
So yeah, congratulations, Absolute! You fucked up so badly you got the Queen of Spiders acting RATIONALLY.
It's actually particularly hilarious how this shakes out:
Shar and Selune both send their own champions to stop this, with SHAR of all gods taking the most initiative in actually trying to thwart the absolute, with Selune close behind sending her own daughter to help...provided you free her first. Both are taking advantage of the fact the absolute cult set up shop in a place within both their spheres of influence to actually get shit done.
Mystra sends her ex-boyfriend to help giving him the ultimate "Plan B" to deal with the issue, and ultimately leaves detonating it up to him.
Silvanus gives you a few potential boons as well as one of his druids, though this one is a bit loose considering the guy isn't DIRECTLY involving himself. Probably helped Halsin fudge a few saving throws though.
Tiamat does you a big favor and doesn't do anything even though she could. Same goes for the other big name demons, especially Mephistopheles (who lets his son run around like an idiot) and Mammon (who has one of his followers hanging around to open portals). The big thing here is that none of them are interfering.
Vlaakith is probably the most self-destructive of the group as she actively impedes you due to her own hubris and inability to admit she fucked up.
Eilistraee gives you a sword, indirectly.
Lolth...i mentioned her above.
Needless to say playing as a Vlaakith, Mystra, or Selune worshiping cleric has some fun times.
All see is BG3, yet alll hear is the "You Died" sound effect from all the Fromsoft Soul games...
Minthara disapproves
As if most actually want her attention 😂
Just like George Carlin said, the gods love you and they need MONEY!
I got Lolth's blessing and my father went: "Oh no you don't, young Lady" and stopped my heart for a moment.
As a kobold, I would rather give an offering to Tiamat.
But that's just me I guess.
👍
I'm a good girl for my Spider Queen, she gives me her blessing
Dont give away all of the supreme healing potions you might need all those in a fight!
Hahaha
welcome home, ashen one
I love the fact that you used Dark Souls 3's main theme for this video.
👍
I prayed to my god and all i got was time between shouts reduced by 0%
👍
Dark Souls 3 main menu music goes hard
That's gotta be Lolth's music when she enters the room.
My Tav prayed to Eilistraee and the symbol that pops up was pretty cool.
Hello Dark Souls III main theme. I've missed you.
Permanently wild shaped into a spider
Have fun turning into a yochlol
🤣
DS3 ost playing on the back
Gorgeous
Yep, its Lolth man.
Uhhh, for Lolth accepting sacrifice in money feels unlikely.
It's not about the money
It's about the audacity of offering said sacrifice, of almost twice the required amount, to _Lolth_ in the middle of Baldur's Gate
I'm pretty sure she can appreciate this violation
It feels wrong to hear Dark Souls 3 music in BG3, but I... Kinda sorta like it?
Ran out of idea where to get backround music.
@@AverageBraidsgood choice
I thought my ds3 has opened by itself
hahaha
So the DnD gods are basically "Dark Urge" hobos holding "Will work for food" signs?
Worse than that. Praying to Lolth or asking for help is a sign of weakness, so there is a possiblity that you will get eliminated.
@@AverageBraids Well yeah. Lloth is the Amber Heard of deities. Expected that much. My girl of choice is Elistraee. Your thumbnail gave me false hope in seeing her dancing with her sword when blessing me with +2 to my already OP Drow lady.
@@AverageBraids, who said that prayer to Lolth is sign of weakness?
Maybe you just have a good taste and basic sense of gratitude, respect and want to actually develop relationships with her.
It is how you frame your prayer.
Just like most women and girls Lolth will not find hobo men who says banalities to her and want to get something from her interesting, but will happily respond to a message of gratitude, good compliment, will provjde guidence if you have actual interest in her opinion and interesting case.
Imagine female billionaire. Will she give you her money for free. Of course not. Will she support your charity in her name or startup. She may if it interesting.
No wonder she made joke of you with such generous blessing. She's called LoL-th not without reason, after all )))
Lolth 🤣
…You madman
that's why my drow prays Eilistraee
You are a good Drow.
My drow was also the Dark Urge, so she got her power from Bhaal
Nice.
Probably should not have mentioned that last bit. Not everyone has had the game since early access or finished dark urge play throughs. It's sad to have my dark urge spoiled while reading comments. 😢
thats dark souls 3 main menu theme
As a Cleric of Talos, if i cant destroy the entire statue and the cathedral around it - my piety and devotion will never be acknowledged.
Being a sugar momma to your own diety is wild 😅
Am I hallucinating the dark souls ost here
nope
Damn that hair though.
Wish games actually put hairstyles like that for the player to use, but the last one I remember is all the way back from goddamn Dragon's Dogma and the game's too old to feature hair physics. Hope DD2 will deliver.
👍
Ayo this is Baldur's Gate 3 not Dark Souls III.
Shhhh no a lot of people know that.
I was kind of hoping you would be turned into a drider.
That Elise in the thumbnail tho
Shhh
DnD people don't know that
i was little bit disappointed when there wasn't something unique to get from helm/mystra/selune/tyr when you have appropriate character praying at them
Act 3 was super rushed unlike Act 1 and 2.
I'm not sure who i dislike more Shar or Lolth both can b quite brutal
Both are evil, and they only care about themselves.
