    Some of you might know about all these by now but hopefully this video will help atleast a few of you :)
    I'm currently hunting for every secret in my current playthrough so let me know if you'ld like a follow-up video
    04:22 - I realized that this is reachable by a ladder, so disregard this one. I totally forgot i destroyed it by mistake lol

    In the Druids Grove, down in the beach area with the sad bear, there’s a flat rock (conveniently label as such), move rock to find Amulet of Silvanus, good to cast Lesser Restoration once a day. Nice for anyone who’s Astarion’s juice box, since removes Bloodless condition.
    The key to the unpickable door is lying on the ground towards the stream, not too far from where we find Karlach.

    3 more secrets:
    -You can save the 4 npc's with the mask in the hag's lair. You need to pass without beeing detected or with a mask( and protection against good and evil spell to resist the charm).
    Then, you HAVE TO kill the hag. If you let her go, even with successful persuasion/intimidation. They will attack you after the dialog. However, only the halfling will show up in act 3 no matter what you do.
    -you can talk to the frog north of the swamp after the hag is dead for a reward (nothing special, just loot)
    -1 very rare interaction can happen with the drows petrified near the spectator. If you kill Dhourn and the spectator, the others drows will not attack you. Since they don't have Dhourn to lead them and are no longer charmed, they will go peacefully. You don't have a special reward, just a dialog that probably 99.9% of players didn't hear.

    When done talking to Khaga in the grove for the first time go into the room nearest her, at the back is a little semi secret alcove with a chest. In the chest is a letter and a book, the letter points you down to the beach where you obtain the incriminating evidence reading the book gives a sage background (iirc) a point of inspiration. So a wee bit more experience.

  • @elenalizabeth
    @elenalizabeth 7 днів тому +4

    6:25 also with Khaga if you are playing as a Druid and convince her to side against the ShadowDruids, you will be given a staff by her and the title of “Faithwarden”.
    And while it doesn’t really do anything (outside of being able to tell Jaheira when she has you in her vines that she should let you go because you are Faithwarden), I still think it’s fun for role play purposes.
    I think if there was more Druids in act 3 then being Faithwarden would have been more meaningful, but the only Druid I have seen in act 3 is the Dragonborn praying to Chauntea to heal the tree.

    As far as the flask goes. I would highly recommend going to the hideout, get the quest, let rugan and Ollie die, take the chest back unlocked. Once you have given her the chest you get a rare crossbow named Harold that inflicts bane for two turns. Save, Then pickpocket the chest off of her

    If you're on honor mode and really want to get that legendary sword, a rangers bear pet has the honeyed paws ability at level 5 that has a MUCH higher chance of disarming kith'rak voss than shart's command spell. You have to let the bear drink an invis potion then sneak for the disarm. If you're not running a ranger you can use q hireling from withers.

    If you trigger the druids attacking the teiflings and then talk to Minthara, the grove will be taken without a fight.
    If you kill Zevlor before talking to Karga she can directly ask you to eliminate the rest of the teiflings, which if complete will then cause the ritual of thorns to complete when you exit the grove.

    There is a chest in the druid grove library that has a letter that will lead you to the ruined grove in the swamp as well.
    There is a key for the unpickable door. The toll collector threw it and it is close by to where you find Karlach.
    In the room behind said door, the vents are not traps. They activate if you step on the pressure plate in the hidden room revealed by the seat pressure plates.

  • @elenalizabeth
    @elenalizabeth 7 днів тому +1

    4:50 for this area there is a key to open the door down near where you find Karlach, and your character will even make a comment “I wonder what this is for” when you pick it up.
    Also the only one of those traps you actually need to disable is the pressure plate in the back room, as without that pressure plate going off, none of the gas vents from the front area will go off.
    Also to open the back room you don’t have to have people sit on the chairs, you just have to put a vase on both chairs.

    At the druids emerald grove, there is animal statues forming a circle around the Sacred Idol, but the largest circle around it with doors etc is simply vertical big stones where you can jump on the top of it to find a chest on one of them. Also, you can block the way of the 2 infernal soldiers in the big nautiloid fight by picking up the 3 containers ''cartilaginous chest'', this is how you can get the Fire Sword without dropping the weapon, just by killing him. In fact, I did get the fire sword this way the first time, because I didn't know about ''Command'' and drop...

      @@LucMarGui if you aren’t playing for role-play purposes and just playing for fun, you can now just summon that robe (and all other armour/weapons/jewellery) with the cheat ring mod.
      It’s under the “cheat summons” list and will summon a chest into your inventory, but once it’s summoned you need to go into turn-based mode as the chest only lasts for 5 turns (so send what you want from the chest to camp or other companions). There’s seperate chests for armour, weapons, jewellery, arrows, potions, alchemical supplies, etc. so you have to go through each one at a time to get what you want from them.

      Minthara is actually a funny story. You previously could only recruit her through either siding with the goblins rather than the druids or through a convoluted path involving polymorph, dominate beast, and a lot of throwing of a sheep. The devs decided that, if we were so dedicated to saving the Grove AND Minthara, they would just let us do it. All you have to do is KO her and then clear out the rest of the goblin camp. She will then be in moonrise to answer for her failure where you can save her.
