I find it weird people say they won’t give him up during a evil play through. You’re technically stealing a dog from its rightful owner. You could say it’s for righteous reasons, but a evil character would just think more on “how dare you try to take what is now mine!”.
I mean, if we accept that animals can talk, then the concept of "owning" animals suddenly becomes a huge grey area, potentially even an actually evil thing to do. Scratch has clearly transferred his loyalty and therefore belongs to/with the player as a member of the found family. @@Amferam
@@robertheitmann8821Well you don’t realize what you have until you lose them I suppose. She wanted him gone after that she realized how much she had grown fond of the dog.
That's the badest good boi of them all, he will have all the bones of the world we murdered in name of father. And like any other dad, Bhaal is bound to love the dog and treat it better than he treat us.
I haven't had Minthara in my party yet and never really cared for her... But the way she says "I hope he remembers us" breaks my heart and endears me to her. And then when she says "Who do we need to kill to get scratch back?", now THAT earns my respect!
My favorite part is how Astarion acts all uncaring but we all know he let both Scratch and the Owl Bear Cub sleep in his tent. His reaction to Scratch's death really confirms how attached he was.
GAH NO! Why the sad beginning with him asking for Master?! **kills everyone** SCRATCH, MY BABY Also such a drastic change of tone with Astarion from Scratch being given up/taken to Scratch being gone "Pft I suppose we should get him out of there to" "*Chokes* who would miss that waggy tail..?"
I never considered goving Scratch away, even on my evil playthrough. That character said "well if i keep the dog, i get to fuck with the post office, cause now they have less 'staff' and need to replace the dog Im keeping. Plus i get a free dog." You have to be a truely sadistic fuck to give Scratch away and rob the entire party of this good boy.
Thanks! I think there's another set of lines for the situation where Scratch is, er, gone for good, if you're interested in getting those, too. ...The things one must do to satisfy curiosity 😅
This is absolutely heartbreaking, thank you for doing this and making this video so that the rest of us don't have to. I hope afterwards you reloaded your previous save and gave Scratch lots of pets. Poor boy! I feel bad for all those poor dogs, and the poor guy that handles them he's so nice but he gets fired if you fail a Persuasion (or was it Intimidation?) check to make that abusive bitch leave.
Even the most heartless and uncaring characters are not immune to the power of good boy Scratch. Not even Astarion can pretend forever that he doesn't are about him.
imagine if the NPC's were active in camp during your playthrough, like the ones no in the party going around chatting, or playing with scratch.. More there were more red dead in bg3 I would not mind in the slightest
I can't leave him there. My Durge just goes agro, and intimidates the woman into questioning every life choice she ever made, especially the one where she lied about 'just checking him '. i was a little worried that Halsin would disapprove the aggression, but nope, 100% approved whatever it took to bring Scratch home & put that nice guy in charge.
When I saw a video of a tombstone were scratch died it broke my heart out of all the characters in bg3 he's the one that means the most I would certainly never betray him and give him back
WHAT, noooOO not my baby scratch 😢 you can send him away… that’s so sad. He’s such a good doggy. I played as a Druid too and am on my first playthrough, him and the owlbear are so cute. I could never make scratch sad 😢 Also, I thought I had all the companions lol spoilers are everywhere
1) if you ignore the goblin/grove conflict and go straight to act 2, companions won’t leave because it doesn’t count as you massacring the tieflings 2) there’s an exploit that requires knocking out Minthara when she’s temporarily hostile and then using Polymorph + Dominate Beast + Improvised Weapon to carry her all the way to Moonrise Towers in sheep form 3) mods
In the modern version of the game you can get Minthara even if you save the grove from her. Just knock her out with nonlethal damage and she can be rescued at Moonrise prison where she is being punished for that. She doesn't hold a grudge and can join your party if you invite her.
If you go to the grove first and recruit Wyll, then go to the goblin camp and promise Minthara you'll help her but instead of going back to the grove you immediately go to Act 2 you can keep Wyll and recruit Minthara. You just have to make sure you never go back to the grove after speaking to Minthara at the goblin camp.
Just ignore the conflict between the goblins and the Grove, do every mission except kill the goblin leaders and you'll be fine, as long as you don't Kill the goblin leaders you can have Wyll, Karlach and Minthara without killing the Grove. The only downside is the teiflings will die so if you want Karlach to live till the end of the game upgrade her heart before progressing to the next region.
The two other responses are definitely ways of doing it, but there's also a way where you clear out the goblin camp, polymorph her into a sheep when you fight her, knock the sheep out, put the sheep in a box, and then take the box with you. Edit: that may not be entirely accurate, if you would like to do the sheep route please look up a video.
You can also get Wyll without horns and still get Karlach, it’s a bit of a pain to do, but it’s possible. Though I think I prefer him with horns, he looks like less of a wimp 😂
You can avoid losing Wyll and Karlach glitchlessly by recruiting Minthara and then heading to the underdark/mountain pass and on to Act 2 without attacking the druid grove (the goblins destroy it offscreen). You can also use a series of unintended mechanics involving having a mind-controlled teleporting sheep stand trial for incompetence to save the grove while recruiting Minthara. It appears they used the first technique.

Not even the Tav themselves being part of that list after their own comment! XD
But Minthara approves giving Scratch back and she disapproves if I try to keep Scratch?
@@enochzhen7133 She's a woman of complicated feelings
I could never ever give up Scratch. Even if I wanted to do an evil play through. I literally physically can’t.
I find it weird people say they won’t give him up during a evil play through. You’re technically stealing a dog from its rightful owner. You could say it’s for righteous reasons, but a evil character would just think more on “how dare you try to take what is now mine!”.
Given how abused he was, even my good characters are like "Then I'll go to Hell" and keep the dog.@@Amferam
So many lines of monologue recorded for something nobody will ever do...

As one comment on another video said even Ketheric kept his dog
It's cute how serious Minthara is about getting him back 😭
Its weird how she disapproves refusing to give him, but also approves when u get him back
@@robertheitmann8821you know what they say, you don’t know what you have until it’s gone lol
@@robertheitmann8821Well you don’t realize what you have until you lose them I suppose. She wanted him gone after that she realized how much she had grown fond of the dog.
@@robertheitmann8821Maybe she disapproved refusing to give him because she was already planning to rescue him anyways.
@@gwen4200immediate headcanon, and I've never given Scratch away, nor had Minthara in my camp.
Even playing as Dark Urge I DIDNT give away Scratch. THATS MINE BOY!
Bhaal: That's...acceptable
That's the badest good boi of them all, he will have all the bones of the world we murdered in name of father.
And like any other dad, Bhaal is bound to love the dog and treat it better than he treat us.
Giving the dog away wouldn't make bhaal happy anyways. Unless you kill scratch, i doubt he cares for anything besides that.
Tis so adorable that Minthara and Lae'zel miss Scartch so much
I haven't had Minthara in my party yet and never really cared for her... But the way she says "I hope he remembers us" breaks my heart and endears me to her. And then when she says "Who do we need to kill to get scratch back?", now THAT earns my respect!

You couldn’t phrase that in any other way, given the man we’re talking about?
insane way to phrase this
@@killjinxx I had to go and change the way I phrased the comment because of your dirty mind, thanks
jk but i did realize how it sounded lmfao
I love how Minthara is ready to butcher everyone who stands in her to way to get scratch back
1:47 Astarion: "Well there might have been another dog around" *Dog starts barking in the distance*
GAH NO! Why the sad beginning with him asking for Master?! **kills everyone** SCRATCH, MY BABY
Also such a drastic change of tone with Astarion from Scratch being given up/taken to Scratch being gone "Pft I suppose we should get him out of there to" "*Chokes* who would miss that waggy tail..?"
The only time I would willingly give into the Dark Urge, killing everyone to get my dog back
Me: Give Scratch away.
Literally the entire party: Right, so I'm about to head out and get him back.
Seriously.... everyone.
Even Minthara, the resident evil cultist without a moral compass. 😭
Nah, nah, they got a point
Well how dare you
I don't think scratch even realizes how loved he is.
Love how so many of them are like “well we are doing a rescue mission, of course” like fuck what the PC thinks, we are breaking the pooch out
The desperation in his voice, OMG. No to this. Why??? 😭
YOU MONSTER!!!! HOW COULD YOU GIVE HIM UP?!?! EVEN FOR A VIDEO, I COULD NEVER 😭
noo scratch he sounds so sad calling out to you :(
The game is basically just BEGGING you to go back and free him
WHO DO WE NEED TO KILL TO GET SCRATCH BACK
this is why Minthara is goated
How could you give away Scratch 😭
Social experiment
Even Lae'zel loves Scratch ❤
'Who do we need to kill to get Scratch back' I like the way Minthara thinks
I never considered goving Scratch away, even on my evil playthrough. That character said "well if i keep the dog, i get to fuck with the post office, cause now they have less 'staff' and need to replace the dog Im keeping. Plus i get a free dog." You have to be a truely sadistic fuck to give Scratch away and rob the entire party of this good boy.
God just the image of Scratch in a cage breaks my heart.
1 SECOND IN and I started crying too hard due to him calling you. Sorry fellas, can't watch this video. Now I'm gonna go hug my dogs.
Minthara "I hope he remembers us" 😭😭😭 why did that hit me like that
Thanks!
I think there's another set of lines for the situation where Scratch is, er, gone for good, if you're interested in getting those, too.
...The things one must do to satisfy curiosity 😅
I do have those. Check it out on my channel 😢
There is another set where Scratch is all worn out after being summoned. That I haven’t recorded yet.
@@KodaPaul ah, I missed those! Thanks again ☺️
Did you ever do Karlachs version?@@KodaPaul
@@sampdesigns That I haven't tried yet. Idk if my heart can take it again haha
They all love him in their own way!! 😭
Listen to your companions, BEFORE you give away your best friend!
Laezel heartless to everyone.: 🖕
Laezel to scratch:just.. throwing a ball….😞💔
I love how all the companions, even the evil one, want Scratch back. XD
This is absolutely heartbreaking, thank you for doing this and making this video so that the rest of us don't have to. I hope afterwards you reloaded your previous save and gave Scratch lots of pets. Poor boy! I feel bad for all those poor dogs, and the poor guy that handles them he's so nice but he gets fired if you fail a Persuasion (or was it Intimidation?) check to make that abusive bitch leave.
This is Minthara: *"Who do we need to kill ...."*
Even the most heartless and uncaring characters are not immune to the power of good boy Scratch. Not even Astarion can pretend forever that he doesn't are about him.
imagine if the NPC's were active in camp during your playthrough, like the ones no in the party going around chatting, or playing with scratch..
More there were more red dead in bg3 I would not mind in the slightest
Okay I didn't expect Mintara to care 😮
He's not even mad that you gave him away 😭
omg Scratch in the cage breaks my heart! 😭
Who do we need to kill to get scratch back?
Lae'zel seems so sad about Scratch not being around. :(
I can't leave him there. My Durge just goes agro, and intimidates the woman into questioning every life choice she ever made, especially the one where she lied about 'just checking him '. i was a little worried that Halsin would disapprove the aggression, but nope, 100% approved whatever it took to bring Scratch home & put that nice guy in charge.
Lae'zel being more sentimental then astarion is just..
Why did you open with that scene it makes me feral I would NEVER-
When I saw a video of a tombstone were scratch died it broke my heart out of all the characters in bg3 he's the one that means the most I would certainly never betray him and give him back
''Organise a rescue mission'' lol Minthara
Not even Bhaal would be so cruel to do such a thing.
Noooo, Scratch, baby!!!
I WOULD DISOWN SOMEONE IF THEY DID THAT. I will ride or die for Scratch
everyone was having sad thoughs, i was quite relating to them, till i saw Astarion's lines and i begin laughing
i feel stupid for being ignorant about the fact that everything is possible in this game. even this. my heart just shattered...
WHAT, noooOO not my baby scratch 😢 you can send him away… that’s so sad. He’s such a good doggy. I played as a Druid too and am on my first playthrough, him and the owlbear are so cute. I could never make scratch sad 😢
Also, I thought I had all the companions lol spoilers are everywhere
I will never do this, even if I'm being evil.
Just too evil for me, lmao.
I WILL ONLY BREAK MY PALADIN OATH FOR SCRATCH
Love it when people make videos titled "All Companions' Reactions to X" and then don't include every companion's reaction! :D
Question. When putting Scratch at the post house then continuing the story can you get scatch out? I haven't gotten this far.
What do you mean you have Minthara and Wyll... How...
Wyll and Gale left me after me doing bad stuff.
1) if you ignore the goblin/grove conflict and go straight to act 2, companions won’t leave because it doesn’t count as you massacring the tieflings
2) there’s an exploit that requires knocking out Minthara when she’s temporarily hostile and then using Polymorph + Dominate Beast + Improvised Weapon to carry her all the way to Moonrise Towers in sheep form
3) mods
In the modern version of the game you can get Minthara even if you save the grove from her. Just knock her out with nonlethal damage and she can be rescued at Moonrise prison where she is being punished for that. She doesn't hold a grudge and can join your party if you invite her.
you MONSTER!
Does Halsin have any reactions?
This is my Minthara Playthrough. I will try it with Halsin soon.
AFTER *WHAT*
YOU CAN GIVE HIM AWAY???? BUT WHY WOULD YOU EVER???
doesn't Wyll leave if you have minthara since you destroy the grove? (i haven't done a evil playthrough so im curious)
If you go to the grove first and recruit Wyll, then go to the goblin camp and promise Minthara you'll help her but instead of going back to the grove you immediately go to Act 2 you can keep Wyll and recruit Minthara. You just have to make sure you never go back to the grove after speaking to Minthara at the goblin camp.
Just ignore the conflict between the goblins and the Grove, do every mission except kill the goblin leaders and you'll be fine, as long as you don't Kill the goblin leaders you can have Wyll, Karlach and Minthara without killing the Grove. The only downside is the teiflings will die so if you want Karlach to live till the end of the game upgrade her heart before progressing to the next region.
The two other responses are definitely ways of doing it, but there's also a way where you clear out the goblin camp, polymorph her into a sheep when you fight her, knock the sheep out, put the sheep in a box, and then take the box with you. Edit: that may not be entirely accurate, if you would like to do the sheep route please look up a video.
It’s painful to watch
You have both Wyll and Minthara?
You can also get Wyll without horns and still get Karlach, it’s a bit of a pain to do, but it’s possible. Though I think I prefer him with horns, he looks like less of a wimp 😂
You can avoid losing Wyll and Karlach glitchlessly by recruiting Minthara and then heading to the underdark/mountain pass and on to Act 2 without attacking the druid grove (the goblins destroy it offscreen).
You can also use a series of unintended mechanics involving having a mind-controlled teleporting sheep stand trial for incompetence to save the grove while recruiting Minthara. It appears they used the first technique.
So, I'm guessing you can free Scratch after you give him back? Not that I would ever give him away in the first place.
wait who tf would give scratch away
theres people who give him back???
No! My doggy! >:(
why dont you eat scratch like other players
Can't be true Dark Urge without killing or giving away Scratch.
Looks like I can't do Dark Urge, then.
Sadly yes...
The way Scratch said "master"......I can't.
