What a well done fight! Things sure didn't go... Ideally at times to put it lightly, but you and Shadowheart made it through! Well done! Also taking notes for my own solo honour monk run, once i finally escape my curse of dying in act one in the most comedic ways ever... At least your videos are nice to have on in the background while I work on that. Again, well played and good luck going into Act 3!
God, this fight is one of the biggest reasons I think people undervalue the force damage crossbow tbh. Lot of the more annoying enemies have just flat piercing resistance. Loved the tactics
Thanks! Would had preferred to continue to use daggers but was not confident I could make it without the hammer. The force crossbow is really sweet to negate that as you say!
That last Finger of Death was a thriller, could've ended differently, especially losing your Protection from Evil and Good. Luckily the fight did not continue for another round :D Good job!
I am in awe that Aylin stayed up pretty much the whole fight... like, she's always so *useless* for me! Great freaking fight with the doomhammer & tanking those Gazes!!
2:43 interesting choice. were you this sure shoving the 60kg mind flayer with the mage hand would work? instead of taking the less risks and lobbing another bomb at the brain dogs? 🤔
For some reason, Shadowheart bodyslamming Aylin's unconscious body on the ground just cracked me up. For a literal demigod, she sure wasn't that useful in the battle.
Minor comment about potions - doesn't shift + drag is faster that rclick + "split"? Ty for content. I was fighting this boss yesterday with shadow monk (not solo, just honor) and i was shocked how its bad for smonk - all area is lightened, resistance for piercing dmg etc.
Did not know that you could split like that, will have to try it out, thanks! One might think the area is dark but as you say it's really not. It's rough. You're welcome :)
13:39 what's that item in your inventory? 2nd row/2nd column? I've been at Myrkul (only once so far) but haven't seen this item yet. or does it have anything to do with the _waking mind_ ? my Wyll spoke to it and got a permanent buff _Githzerai Mind barrier_ . if so, are you saving the buff for later?
@@FriendlyLich oh, that makes sense. my monk (my first steps into BG3 back then) was so turned off (aghast, appalled) by the open brain surgery and the suggestion to pull the brain out from the skull he simply left it desperately trying to forget the images in his head. I didn't know what other horrors the games has had in store for me.
@@FriendlyLich btw great content! I just found out your channel today and its very smart play, without abusing items and mechanics and bugs and stuff, its just very smart play and strategy ! Consider making a full run with explanations ! There are no other good runs like that other than Melths!
@ Oh thank you very much! Glad to have you drop in 😊. I am actually toying with the idea of doing a full run but have yet not decided if I want to do that. Haven’t okayed with a party for over a year 😅
@@FriendlyLich YEAH, there is a real lack of non exploiting full runs on honour mode for this game , and with actual explaining the strategies! You can do whatever you feel like doesnt have to be completely min maxed party probably
Aw yeah! We’ve all been (patiently) waiting for this one!
Glad I finally found some time to edit and post :)
@@FriendlyLichit’s never any rush, just happy it’s here! Hope you had a peaceful holiday season ^_^
@@curio27 Was a much needed rest thanks. Hope you had a good time too!
YAYAYAY LICH IS BACK ❤❤❤ hope all is well and great job on finishing (arguably) the biggest solo honor hurdle in the game ^^
🖤 Thanks! Last stretch now! Hope you had a great holiday 🖤

Act 1 is the hardest act to solo imo. So easy to end up dead. Thank you and thanks for watching!

22:55 Dame Aylin - "My hero
Haha, wanted to see if I could get some usage out of her 😅
That last Finger of Death was a thriller, could've ended differently, especially losing your Protection from Evil and Good. Luckily the fight did not continue for another round :D Good job!
Thanks! So very happy that the fight ended there. Big oversight to not bring more sources for darkness too!
Dame Alyn as an improvised melee weapon is one of my favorite things I've seen.
I love your strategy.
Thank you!
that mage hand is strong af
Heh yeah. I love that spell
I am in awe that Aylin stayed up pretty much the whole fight... like, she's always so *useless* for me! Great freaking fight with the doomhammer & tanking those Gazes!!
She did better with Ketheric. Wanted to see if Aylin could shine a bit, rarely see her alive and all heh :)
"You fool I am immortal!"
"You killed my dog. And I am Jen Wick"
(gasp)
😎
Haha! Yeap!
Dame Aylin was as usefull as always, nicely done.
I really wanted her to shine here :/
"Scratch will be our good boy"
> Implying that he is not ALWAYS a good boy
Unsubbed and reported for hate speech
😱 Gonna have to blame english being my second language for this 🥲
Lmao
shadowheart picking up and yeeting aylin was hilarious
but yay!!! shadowheart made it to act 3!!!!!
Haha I found that hilarious too :D
29:40 was incredibly on-brand for this run.
Very much agree with that
Such scarry fun.
2:43 interesting choice. were you this sure shoving the 60kg mind flayer with the mage hand would work? instead of taking the less risks and lobbing another bomb at the brain dogs? 🤔
I mean I still had 1 action before the flayer got to take a turn so it would had been alright had the mage hand failed
For some reason, Shadowheart bodyslamming Aylin's unconscious body on the ground just cracked me up. For a literal demigod, she sure wasn't that useful in the battle.
Haha I thought that was pretty great too
The struggle was real but the strategy proved fruitful.
Mmm, specially awkward that there's so little shadow in this encounter
I been thinking of gloomstalker way of shadow multiclass as possible substitute to this build!
Can you show build please
I have an older build video in the build playlist. It is similar but not correct. I plan on making an updated one but that’s not done just yet

good strategy!!
Thanks!
Yes!! Lets go!!!
\o/
@@FriendlyLichwow that was an interesting fight.. im soo glad you managed it..
well done mate
Question! What is protection from Good and Evil being used for there? Also that fight was wild
🤣
It makes you immune to frightened condition. So it is either used to remove it or prevent it
Great fight) How come Mirkul can't heal by absorbing skeletons?
Thanks! It’s because of the bone chill affect of the weapon Doom Hammer

That is "Us" the brain dog you can summon. I do have the Mind Barrier buff (it is a permanent buff that doesn't go away on long rest)

so he cant come to the platform and cant use ranged ?
He can't get up there no :)

this fight gives me nightmares, this guy is the hardest boss of the game imo if you take the resources you have acces until
him
I agree, Myrkul is a tough cookie. Very epic fight though!
U didn't need the Boots of Uninhibited Kushigo?
I don't plan to use them no. I want to dual wield so I'll mainly do damage with off-hand weapon
I'm confused, why do you have a bardic inspiration to spend?
It's because of the item "Wondrous Gloves"
it's not your fault man, Dame Aylin can't be useful!
🙏
