Baldur's Gate 3 - Solo Honour - Thisobald Thorm (Waning Moon) - Astarion (Monk)

I did this a more difficult way on purpose. The boss encounters outside of Ketheric / Apostle of Myrkul for Act 2 are a joke. This is by far not an optimal way to do this encounter. Thisobald Thorm is immune to all physical damage until he is "Blacked Out". I am only doing damage from riders here.
An origin Astarion solo Honour Mode playthrough, which is Monk.
I'll be doing all origin characters solo, or attempting to. I started with a Dark Urge archer and have completed this Astarion (Monk), Karlach (Eldritch Knight / Barbarian Thrower), and Wyll (Warlock) so far. I am not sure which builds I will use on the remaining characters, but Lae'zel will be next and some sort of melee build. Then Gale which will be a caster of some kind. I will leave Shadowheart as the last, as I've already completed a solo honour run with her. Most likely something "evil" for Shadowheart though, and I probably will keep her Cleric.
I don't have time to record commentary, to edit or to rewatch the videos. There may be a few instances of playing more than easy encounters or insignificant bits of the game on Steam Deck, so they would lack videos.
I sometimes make mistakes, sometimes get unlucky or lucky, and sometimes things just do not work out as planned or expected. It is easy to say in hindsight what could have or should have been done differently, but c'est la vie.

people like you make me realize I really don't know how to play this game

[@Banana-cc5rx]

I am new to the game as well. Joining public multi-player honor mode games and you can actually learn alot from how veterans clear the game. I have no clue what they were even doing when they constantly respec their multiclass every encounter so they have different methods of cheesing honor mode

@@Banana-cc5rxIf it makes you feel better, I have over 600 hours and this made me realize I don’t know how to play the game either

sleet storm is amazing. this is such a hard core way to kill him

[@QuiteDisquietly]

I did this a few other times with melee and did not use Sleet Storm. The other times I used the enchantment from Drakethroat Glaive for cold damage and Snowburst Ring. I couldn't do that with Monk though, so hence the Sleet Storm.

Would be cool if you showed your EQ, not just flex an empty inventory

[@QuiteDisquietly]

I do sometimes. Maybe even in most videos actually. I keep other equipment in the "Bewildering Adventurer's Pack", potions and other consumables in the Pouch, and scrolls in the "Curious Book". I have to open the Pouch and the Curious Book a lot, and you can see everything in the Bewildering Adventurer's Pack when I'm switching gear, I don't open it much because there's no need to. I'm not going to be silly and apologize for being organized. I basically carry at least one of just about anything I'd need, or anything I can think of that I may need, and nothing else. If you have any specific inquiry, let me know.

@@QuiteDisquietly what I ment was what build, including eq, you are using (could just keep the mouse still for a bit longer so it's not a game of slowing the video to 0.5 speed then pausing to be able to read what armour you're wearing, etc.)
