Once per game things that it's easy to forget you have:
Level 10+ clerics can use Divine Intervention
Maximally evil Durges can use Power Word: Kill. Get wrecked, Raphael.

Pretty sure they fixed that so you can’t double dip arcane battery any more. Besides, twincasting chain lightning counts as 2 in my book, so my wizard/cleric/sorc can do 5 of them in round 1.

In any case, now that I’m in act 3 and I’ve done some shopping and taken care of Lorroakan and Ethel ; so far I haven’t had a fight last past round 1. I’ve taken to measuring the difficulties of fights by how many of my party members get a chance to do anything before everyone’s dead instead.

My sorc has relatively low initiative so a lot of the time he just ends up watching.

For some reason my sorc doesn't even have the Arcane Battery button from Markoheshkir anywhere on the bar, on any tab. I think it may be broken between the fix you mentioned and having Freecast, which is still broken as hell all on its own. And I don't think you can respec out of worm powers. Ah well.

If you want to get really cheesy, you can buy followers, use their divine intervention, and then fire them.

I'm having trouble making a second item in the Adamantine Forge, I think the problem is that the robot died on top of the forge, so I can't insert the second mithral piece into the forge, which means none of the other functions work. I raised the platform back up, and can't lower it again. I think this is because to lower it to begin with, you need both a mould and the ore inserted. So, because I can't insert the ore a second time, I can't get the forge running again. I think.

Any ideas/fixes for this bullshit? It's an honor mode run so I can't just reload and do the fight again.

I had the same thing happen to me and I just gave up. I tried everything. I tried leaving the area and coming back. I tried raising/lowering the ramp.

Like you I'm on honour mode so it was unfortunate.

Would be nice if they fix that.

Cheat engine it is! Spawned in an extra armor piece, hucked the mithral into the lava. Hope this doesn't gently caress anything up!

This sounds like a good idea, actually.

I'm still stuck on trying to do a solo HM run because the challenge is really super fun, but the margin for error is exactly zero and it's a pain to re-run the start over and over. Also, I'm trying to do it with an entirely non-broken build, so there's that...


What are your two characters?

I'm bouncing around a couple of builds, figuring out what keeps me alive in Act 1. Which is fun in itself. Right now I'm trying moon druid for the CC and tanking, and maybe a paladin or sorcerer for single target DPS. Probably a dark urge ranger would be optimal, but I think stealth abuse would get boring pretty quick.

There is a toggle on each party member's inventory screen to display their camp clothes instead of their armor.

There’s a button that makes your characters display their camp clothes instead of armor (it’s just visuals, they keep the armor stats.)

First two acts down in Honor Mode, hit Level 10 just as I was fighting Ketheric. I made a whole bunch of mistakes and didn't really read up on his legendary action beforehand so I ended up making the fight so much harder for myself. But I eventually pulled it out, thank you Mama K. I was disappointed to find out that you can't save Isobel even if you don't attack her at all during the Ketheric fight, she just autodies after he goes down.

There aren't any parts in BG3 that I actively dislike playing but that post-Act 2 epilogue is probably the single dullest stretch of the game for me. My MC ate too many tadpoles to resist becoming half-illithid so now I'm an even uglier githyanki that can fly! I'm sure Lae'zel won't mind. Respecced to 5/5 Sorcadin so now I get TWIN HASTE and BIG SMITES. Astarion got caught picking a lock so I had to sneak him out of prison. I don't know if I can even do House of Grief with Shadowheart dead but I'll burn that bridge when I come to it!

I fought Balthazar and his big minions instakilled two of my party members by shoving them off cliffs. "Alright," I thought, quickloading. "You want to be rude? Let's get loving rude."

I stood at a distance and threw web grenades all around him without hitting him, then cast Silence on him instead of starting the dialogue. His first turn was spent wading through webs in a silent panic. His second and third turn were also spent wading through webs in a silent panic, thanks to Wyll mistystepping around and using Eldritch Blast knockback to yeet him back into soundproof web hell. He did not get a fourth turn; a raging, hasted Karlach and her sussur bark greatsword saw to that.

Poor guy never even got to summon anything. I think he did a total of like 2 damage, and that was from feebly flailing his dagger at Karlach in a helpless state of mortal terror. Stick that in your skeleton Athletics check and smoke it :colbert:
