    Whats crazy is that you don't even need to complete the gauntlet, just complete enough trials to unlock the elevator. Then go down and you can use knock on the final door. Best spell for "impossible" locks.

    Charm can actually be crazy. On my first playthrough I killed the 3 goblin leaders then walked right out the front gate without thinking then had to face all the goblins while I was super low level. All of my party was killed other than me and I managed to charm the enemies so much that I survived on litteraly 1 hp for 20 some turns as I slowly eldritch blasted the goblins to death. Takes a lot of luck, but it's freaking amazing when you get lucky!

    Don't forget that you can make it so that some reactions happen automatically, charm isn't a gamechanger but there's no point in not making it an automatic reaction if you have it.

    • @InvaderTroy
      @InvaderTroy 4 місяці тому +4

      it never works because enemies get advantage on the save for some dumb reason, and you want to use your reaction for psionic backlash most of the time.

    • @the_truant
      @the_truant  4 місяці тому +2

    @antongunther3977 4 місяці тому +1

    you can make the last boss fight a bit easier by casting aid on yourself before the fight and refreshing your spell slots with the ilithid rest device thing. If you have any spells that last till long rest they will stay on you when you use it. (so concentration is still something to consider though, this doesn't let you bypass that).

    Those "Spow" are actually called Szarki. (pronounced ZAHRK-eye) or simply "Drider." And only male drow are turned into them, as Drow society is largly matriarchal. It used to be a punishment by Lolth (Drow goddess of Spiders) for men who fail their society.
