I really like how you playing: no abuse, barrelmancy and etc. This is how I try to go through mine solo honor and you video help a lot, I hope to see a full walkthrough on shadow monk. Keep doing what you're doing
Oh thank you kindly! 🖤 I like to keep such stuff to a minimum since that’s just how I enjoy games. Hopefully I won’t die to the Minotaurs! Died there both with monk and druid before 😅
@@justfuya She's really tough. I think I used surprise and special arrows + haste potion on her. Specifically illmater arrows to deny her healing. Also, kiting her is very important
@@FriendlyLich she's a war machine, I covered the whole floor with grease, silenced her and still she was kicking my 4ss 😭 I'll try again later, thank you!
I have my list of favorite builds, one of them is (6 shadow monk/4 thief rogue/2 fighter or 2 warlock) happy to see you are finally doing a shadow monk playthrough

Thanks, will do! I’m not entirely sure yet how I’ll play it. We will have to see. I’m not great with melee so I bet I’ll have quite a lot of close calls
Right, I forgot about that. There's 2 dagger+1, hunting shortbow, Karlachs chestpiece, haste helm, caustic band and ring of protection. Don't think I had any special boots
Your monk run makes me want to do an honor mode Astarion mode, starring Astarion, Astarion, Astarion with guest being Astarion. I can legit pull it off because mods for console finally gave me Astarion's face for my Tav/Dark Urge, so I intend to have my Dark Urge Vampire (yes I also have vampire origin as normal Tav and Dark Urge hooray!) look pretty much identical to Astarion, then recruit Astarion, and then have the high elf cleric hireling look identical to Astarion too, the guest Astarion is gonna be the emperor who will also look identical to Astarion too. 4 Astarions. ^^ I'll make the 3 of them monks too, mine could be the elemental monk just because I can, Astarion will be Way of the Open Palm and the hireling will be the Shadow Monk, it will be so hilarious. ^^ If I can leave Zenless Zone Zero long enough to get to it that is, but it is in my plans. XD I will probably have Shadowheart and Lae'Zel on rotation just to make sure we stay alive long enough to kill Cazador. XD
Hm no buffs for the song. It’s talk with animals, Aunties refresh buff from her well (+10 hp) and str elixir. Maybe there’s an icon from the artifact too. 🧐
Good question! So you need to have decent saves, be immune or get lucky. Here I have advantage on the roll from race, wisdom save proficiency and the ring of protection. Which can still fail but it’s unlikely to fail.

I saw the "Meanwhile..." scene and as the die popped up for the roll I said, "Here comes the One"...
😂
Me too! It was only fitting, 3 harpies survive by 1 HP, and almost losing Phalar Aluve to another roll of 1. I hope he used that inspiration though :)
I'm kinda addicted to your videos lol
Keep up with the good work bro! I decided to go for a Shadow Monk for a run because of this saga! :D
Thank you kindly, fun to hear :)! How are you enjoying sneaky monk?
@FriendlyLich It was fun fighting all the harpies by myself but now I'm stuck on Minthara 😭 any tips?

How do you build it
@@oval291 the end game is: Seravok's helmeth
Death stalker mantle/ Shade slayer cloak
Bhaalist armor (you can also swap for armor of agility if you are gonna use Orin's dagger)
Helldusk gloves/legacy of the master
Helldusk boots
Eversight ring
killer's sweetheart/caustic ring
Crimson mischief (as main hand)
Knife of the undermountain king/Rhapsody (as off-hand)
Deathshot
Use whatever necklace you want
As for level progression, do whatever you want until level 7 then respec into 1 fighter/6 shadow monk (make sure you take fighter level before monk) the go 3 into rogue (thief) then take second fighter level then take a 4th level into rogue
Feats are savage attacker and alert
Stats are
8 str (potions exist)
17 dex (18 with the help of our lovely aunty)
16 con
8 int
Wisdom and charisma are interchangeable so have one be at 14 and the other at 10 doesn't matter which
@@antoniohristov8729 thanks
Very nice! I like that spread for monks too! Not super sure how I’ll build just yet, will start to plan once/if I get to 6
I always love watching your vids, great stuff
Thank you! I appreciate that! 🖤
Pretty neat trick with darkness!
It makes it so much easier to save the kid :)
I tried it and it worked to reveal the harpies but didn't last long enough to save the kid
Curious how shadow monk is played - or better: how you will play it. Also: like the increased commenting in the vids. Keep on keeping on. 👍
Thanks, will do! I’m not entirely sure yet how I’ll play it. We will have to see. I’m not great with melee so I bet I’ll have quite a lot of close calls
lol, I liked that nat 1 clip!
Growls at lack of gear showcase...
Looks like it's coming together nicely. I do recognize some of those items.
Right, I forgot about that. There's 2 dagger+1, hunting shortbow, Karlachs chestpiece, haste helm, caustic band and ring of protection. Don't think I had any special boots
Nice one.. really anoying that dualwield is on by default 😂
Yeah it was thankfully not something that cost the run 😅

😂 Hahaha Astarion-ception! Gonna be some absolutely wild scenes! 🤣
@@FriendlyLich Indeed! ^^
@@FriendlyLich Yeah it will.
"That wasn't too bad"
It was, in fact, neatly done. Is one of the icons I see by your character portrait a buff against the song?
Hm no buffs for the song. It’s talk with animals, Aunties refresh buff from her well (+10 hp) and str elixir. Maybe there’s an icon from the artifact too. 🧐
One of these days Karlach will live through Act 1
She is alive in the camp :) Just stole her clothes this time 😊
I'll have to try that darkness trick. You going to go straight 12 with shadowmonk, or add in some other bits?
It’s a really handy trick. I love multi-classing builds so I’ll definitely end up doing that in some way. Not sure what split I’ll go for though!
3:19 did all four (or just three) of the harpies end up with one hit point forcing you to attack them once more? lucky bastards.
Hah yea most of em did! It’s just my kind of luck 😅
that went so well, the nat 1 at the end tho 😭 are you gonna go for a dual wield shadowmonk this run?
Haha thankfully managed to pull it out on second try but it was awful! Need that sword later on!
Edit: yes, planning to dual wield in some manner
Wow, ez pz
I tried this fight at level 4 non honor mode solo and kept getting lured. How'd you keep from getting lured?
Good question! So you need to have decent saves, be immune or get lucky. Here I have advantage on the roll from race, wisdom save proficiency and the ring of protection. Which can still fail but it’s unlikely to fail.
Personally I would have went with a open-hand monk with tavern brawler
@@dapokeguy2994 I just like the thematic of Shadow Monk more
Well what about tavern brawler?
what is the outfit Shdowheart is wearing ? thanks
It is Karlachs starting chest piece. Don’t know the name though, sorry!
@@FriendlyLich thanks! it looks appropriate for the shadow monk
