Just starting vid and looking forward to it, but just wanted to say I was surprised seeing this in this year's AGDQ. Game came out relatively recently didn't thing submissions for the game had been put in.
Turning your companion into a giant bear and flinging them onto bosses for insane bludgeoning damage is exactly what I expected from a speedrun of a DnD based game and I would not have it any other way.
I love how this run was less focused on pure speed, and more of a showcase of all the cool strats used. I feel like that's the perfect way to do a GDQ speedrun.
@@kevinwells9751 @ChronosReturns (the person sitting on the left from our view) has made guides explaining the speedrun in depth. If you're interested, they're really worth a watch!
Having played this game for 150 hours, watching this run is like watching a magician. I love how the glitches all use the freedom of the game. It’s a wild, glitchy run but it totally showcases what’s special about BG3.
Impressive run .This game is so much fun casually but seeing how you can use the mechanic the dev gave you ( + some weird camera angle ) to destroy everything is amazing to watch .The 2 million celebration was really nice to see too . Congrat everyone.
Amazing run! I appreciate you taking your time to explain what's happening instead of going for a record here, this run is no crazy that the explanations make it so much more enjoyable to watch! I've been thinking about getting into doing this speedrun and having seen this I just might have to!
thanks for having us !! this was genuinely such an honor to be a part of and im so glad mae was finally able to show off the route on the big stage :) heres to many more great GDQs !
The shenanigans of this run remind me of the shenanigans in Elder Scrolls runs that got me interested in speedruns ten years ago. In other words, I love the hell out of this run.
25:26 My favorite way to dispatch enemies 😅 That's what I did to Cazador. Should have made your evil subterranean lair osha compliant with some handrails.
I love how bid wars can change at a moment's notice. watching previous runs shows "my dude" as the highest winner, but then here comes "tom from myspace" out of NOWHERE
I wish I had more time to take in some of these Twitch runs that I can only catch glimpses of when I watch GDQ. I legit clapped at my desk at the end. Brilliant.
I usually kill last boss (any difficulty) with fireworks (about 21-25 is enough), bought in the city. It is poetic for me, that the city and simple workers defeat it`s biggest enemy themselves. And it is very fast, just buy stuff for 900 one time and you`re ok) Great speedrun. I don`t run games, just try to make things fast and easy, and with no guides or glitches made my honour run in like 2.5 hours, or easy 1 lvl solo mage run (all acts) in 1.5 hours. Great game! so much pleasure to break it by yourself.
I have never touched anything BG3... But it makes me endlessly happy that the Tutorial level is a nod to my favorite D&D Module: The Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. This is the module that introduced Bulets and Mind Flayers into the lore of Greyhawk, and eventually Forgotten Realms. THAT IS SO RAD
the leader boards for speed runs before this post, and at this time im writing (the day the video went out) have wildly shifted on the “any all acts %“ but it’s nice for a normie like me to be “brought up to speed” and indoctrinated into the methods used; as always with GDQ…another classic for a good cause. :D
You're telling me it took me about 5 tries to kill Kethrac and I could had just turned into a FUCKING large bear and launched myself at him? Jesus Christ I love this game.
It seems like the dev room is used to store all the assets that can spawn during the game. Which makes sense. Since the Act is loaded when you start the game, you need to put them somewhere if you don't wan them to actually appear in the game until they're supposed to. It's some sort of engine-friendly loading room.
"we're gonna put here in a box" as they proceed to set the box on fire and fling it across the map. this run has just convinced me to buy it even more lol
17:58 *Spoiler Alert* He gives you a bomb to blow up the Steel Watch Foundry. It's a pretty cool storyline. He runs a secret deep gnome artisan's guild.
I think this is the first lady speedrunner I've ever seen, and I'm not sure if thats a failure on my part or not, but it's good to see more variety. I'm not a speedrunner nor do I follow the community particularly closely; I'm just speaking as an average internet citizen.
Fun Fact for the Ketheric Area, SPOILERS AHEAD The last area in Act 2 "assumes" you fought Ketheric because you can be buddies with him after letting Balthazar take Nightsong and he lets you pray on the altar of the absolute, which puts you in the area down there without fighting his first phase.
AGDQ 2024 is live right now! Tune in to watch at www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick
I do not have words for how insane it was to be able to do this. Thank you so much for having me. :^)
Very well done really impressive it took me 83 hours to finish the game.
This was one of the best runs I’ve ever seen at a GDQ you crushed it!
You are amazing!

I enjoyed so much your runs! You're amazing Maeeeee!

It reminds me of the old Div 2 speed run strat with the barrels. Love the continuation since they're both larian games lmao
I love how this run was less focused on pure speed, and more of a showcase of all the cool strats used. I feel like that's the perfect way to do a GDQ speedrun.
100%, this run is so full of insane glitches and having it explained makes it so much more fun

I love how tomatoangus is now his official family friendly handle.
it's with a silent 'g' though
The "g" is silent...
Bet he regrets using that name now!
@@martinwells5747 never haha
"And now our character is in Orin's inventory"
Gosh, why didn't I think of that
Mae is so wholesome, i love it when the runners incorporate the people on the couch into their runs.
Her commentating during the run was so funny and entertaining. Havent seen a run this fun in a while 😁
People were screaming every time another 1000 dollars was reached.
thank you! couldn't figure out what they were yellin abou
I was wondering what that was for lol
Thanks
Yeah it was pretty distracting. Thanks for helping understand it.
tht was driving me crazy, Thanks for filling us in.
“That’s the funniest shit I’ve ever seen”
BLÅHAJ SPOTTED

18:30 Withers dressed his best for GDQ
somebody didnt remove their mods correctly lmao
I love runners who are able to explain what's going on so well! It makes the speedruns so much more fun! Absolutely loved it

The difference is that TES is broken because of bugs just never being fixed while BG3 is broken because the dead want you to do whatever you want
Really likes the run. Impressive yet chill with a lot of explaining and showcasing! Thanks
We love a BLÅHAJ plushie! Great run and very entertaining!
I'm so glad I got to catch this one live! It's such a great run! AGDQ 2024 in general was amazing! Great job everyone!
This is absolutely bonkers, great stream. I love how you're holding a BLAHAJ!!!!!
This is the most hyped I have seen AGDQ in a long time!
25:26 My favorite way to dispatch enemies 😅 That's what I did to Cazador. Should have made your evil subterranean lair osha compliant with some handrails.
They should call this the Australian strat cause of the drop bears
The fact that she was doing all this while talking is INSANE like shes playing two or three games at once
ah yes, the Bear% category
Very cool to see everything explained along the way. Grats on the new record during practice too Mae!
This was such an amazing run - really appreciate how entertaining maeee and the other hosts made it.
This was awesome to watch. Thank you for the runs
Amazing job 🎉 such a great run and explaining it well
I love how bid wars can change at a moment's notice. watching previous runs shows "my dude" as the highest winner, but then here comes "tom from myspace" out of NOWHERE
these runs were insane! I never knew about most of this.
Well done!
been playing the game since release, only managed to finish it today. this run looks so funny and amazing!
I love watching every run when Mr. Tomatoangus "with a silent g" is on the scene. Also really good run by Mae.
Me 125+ hours into the game and still not finished can’t figure out what the hell I just watched. What an incredible run!!! 😁
Such a funny and wholesome segment! Also Tomatoangus also known as Brief Chili is my favourite non-speedrunner
Great run, also awesome to see the 2mil hit
28:27 She discovered the Developer Plane 😱
I wish I had more time to take in some of these Twitch runs that I can only catch glimpses of when I watch GDQ. I legit clapped at my desk at the end. Brilliant.
Insane skill to pull it out lol. Congrats to runner and organisers.

This might've been the most energetic GDQ announcer I ever listened to
Love the new thumbnails, keep up the great work!
Amazing, mind blowing how people have figured all this out so fast. Great run. GDQ 4 Life!
I'm so bad at this game, every fight that I get pulled into last almost as long as this whole playthrough. Really awesome run!
amazing fun and entertaining run :)
This was an amazing run and Mae and the couch crushed it. Special shoutout to TomatoAn*us for asking great questions and leading applause.
12:51 Circle of the Moon ftw! This is the best part! I'm so making a druid party run now!

You can find a bullete (the monster if you mean that) in the actual game
the leader boards for speed runs before this post, and at this time im writing (the day the video went out) have wildly shifted on the “any all acts %“ but it’s nice for a normie like me to be “brought up to speed” and indoctrinated into the methods used; as always with GDQ…another classic for a good cause. :D
Never knew Baldur's Gate took place in Australia, those drop bears were awesome! Great run!!
That was glorious! Wholesome Maee and Anus on the couch too? Epic :D
Awesome seeing angus here!!!
You're telling me it took me about 5 tries to kill Kethrac and I could had just turned into a FUCKING large bear and launched myself at him? Jesus Christ I love this game.
Amazing game, Amazing run, Amazing people!
TomatoAn(g)us with the disposable camera when they hit 2 mil is my favorite moment
amazing that the speedrun hinges on bullying shadowheart

26:11 A wonderful moment indeed! Happy that they reached that plateau. 😊
Maeeeeee is a great speed runner I like the commentary here.
Tomato is so sharp and supportive
Thank you so much for this great run and commentary, @maeeeeeee
what an absolute joyride on every possible level.
"we're gonna put here in a box" as they proceed to set the box on fire and fling it across the map. this run has just convinced me to buy it even more lol
I didn't know they called it shadowboxing, but I did catch the any% run a bit ago and found it hilarious.
I have this video queued up, but refuse to watch it until I've played the game myself xD.
i like that you can skip individual lines in the cutscenes. thats really cool.
There's even a recap thing, if you're skipping through and feel like you missed something you can see all the previous dialogue.
40:41 For polymorph I'm guessing, based on how Orin works
Lol "Tomatoangus" had me fooled for a nanosecond
Excuse me I have to go talk to Wilthers. I missed the Enlarged Bear Meta
I saw her do the owlbear jump on KT and now im here to watch the whole thing lol
16:06 She said the thing!
17:58 *Spoiler Alert* He gives you a bomb to blow up the Steel Watch Foundry. It's a pretty cool storyline. He runs a secret deep gnome artisan's guild.
She finished the game quicker than I created my character...
shadowbear will never get old lmao
when i try to drop the bear it does 15-16 damage and sometiems actually does a lot what do you have to do to land on him?
Blahaj is love, blahaj is life :)
down down down by the river
For reference my 1st playthrough BG3 was in just shy of 215 hours lmao
300hrs in on my 9th and 10th playthrough now.
Wait, is this run why "RIP Tom" was trending on Twitter? Because if so that's fucking hilarious.
I'm not a fan of Baldurs gate or DnD but this runner was great and the crowd was HYPE
I can spend over 20 minutes just doing inventory management. Congrats!
Shadowboxing FTW!
I think this is the first lady speedrunner I've ever seen, and I'm not sure if thats a failure on my part or not, but it's good to see more variety. I'm not a speedrunner nor do I follow the community particularly closely; I'm just speaking as an average internet citizen.
6:22 What do you mean what does that accomplish? Weren't you watching? She totally gave Shadowheart what she deserved, lmao.
Praise be to Blåhaj!
surprise tomatoanGus cameo
3321 wtf, that's not enough time for me to make my Tav
HOW DO YOU FIND THESE THINGS OUT?

"Gale has nuclear IBS" omg
Having played BG3 I'm astounded at how much is skipped. This is astounding
Why are there Gasopods from Subnautica in the Underdark in BG3?
Lol. I think about that every time I hear it.
Oh my god I’m so glad someone else noticed!! I wasn’t imagining it!!
@@AnticitizenOne 😂
Shadowheart's Bogus Journey
14:58 this strat with the polar bear still work?
Act 1 over in 4 minutes and 10 seconds. WELL OKAY THEN.
Tomatoangus is my favorite speedrunner
