For a while I was noticing something weird with Astarion when I'd try to sneak attack. It kept saying "can't have disadvantage against target". For a while I thought it was a bug but after noticing that Speedy Lightfeet boots are medium armor, I took them off him and that solved all my problems.

@dakotism537 10 ай бұрын

@noppis every weapon, spell and throwable has a damage value (usually seen in the description of the item) the damage values will always be a #D# type. For example a dagger is 1D4 damage plus a corresponding stat attribute. Usually Strength for Melee, Dexterity for Ranged. So the damage ranges for a weapon are usually a dice roll plus your stat. For a large weapon it could be 1D12+strength instead of saying 1-12 it would be better to say 1d12+STR since not everyone is going to have the same strength.

Something to note about the Lightning charge combo, there is a headpiece in the underdark sold by a trader that grant 3 temporary hit points every time you gain a Lightning charge. I just got it last night and haven't had a chance to test it, but I would imagine it is quite good.

@flibbitybibbity969 10 ай бұрын

There’s also a pair of gloves that grant lightning charges on unarmed melee(?) attacks. They have the insane added passive called Effective Transmitter that grants the following: “while imbued with Lightning Charges, attacks against metal constructs and foes wearing metal armour gain Advantage”. On my wood elf gloom stalker ranger I have the boots, gloves, helmet and bow and combined with some feats and other traits I regularly attack with a +11 to hit and Advantage, it is TRULY so much fun

The door being knocked down and everyone leaving in the grymforge only happens if you take a long rest. Also you should give the stats of the weapon without including your personal ability modifier on them. For example, sorrow is not a 5-14 dmg weapon. It’s a +1 glaive, and all glaives do 1d10 dmg. Since your stat modifier is +3, it becomes 1d10+4.

There's also the Flaming sword in the prologue that the Devil carries when fighting the Mind Flayer at the very last room of the Nautiloid. If you focus him the whole fight, it's possible to take his 2h sword which has pretty high dmg for early levels, and even causes some fire damage. Perfect starting weapon for your character or laezel/karlach.

@asimovvomisa4040 10 ай бұрын

I will repeat a trick for that fight i read somehwere else: Before entering the room change Shadowhearts spells (you can change prepared spells on the fly from the spell menu in the inventory) so that she has Command and use it to let the Devil drop his weapon on the ground (beware each cast only has a 55% chance to be successful and she only has 2 slots at this stage) pick up the weapon in passing if you do not want to rely on killing him.

@zero11010 10 ай бұрын

1:52 a little thing, but something you’ll want to get used to. That spear does 4-9 damage for you. The way you express that is that “this is a 1D6 weapon, 1D8 if wielded in two hands.” Your character has a +3 modifier. You don’t include that part when you speak about the weapon. 1D6 is the point of comparison for this as a one handed weapon. 👍

@zero11010 10 ай бұрын

You do this again at 4:12 The staff is just like any other. It’s not a +1 magic item. It’s just a staff. Any staff is 1D6 if used in one hand and 1D8 in two hands. Your character happens to have a negative strength modifier. It’s still a 1D6 versatile weapon. Like a spear or quarter staff. For melee combat you’re better off with the spear you can buy in the Druid village that does the same damage, but gives you advantage after you miss (which means you’re more likely to hit or crit after a miss).

@deckerle4415 10 ай бұрын

A quick tip for those going into the forge and will face the boss: upon successfully landing an attack, the boss will single out and focus on that character and apply targetting. To take use of this, position yourself near the center of the area (not directly at its midpoint but where the mold was inserted it looks like a coffin). Lure the boss to the actual center and pull the lever for operating the forge hammer. This will result in a massive hit dealing 100+ damage to the boss. Keep in mind that the boss needs to be exposed to heat from the lava applying the superheated debuff, so you will need to position three party members around the forge. Hope this helps some people out if anyone goes there!

Oops. No wonder it was so tough. I remember thinking like, wtf this is normal difficulty!? I ended up getting up in the rafters and jumping around between perches, forcing most of the enemies to have to climb ladders and stuff to get to me. Laezel was the designated shover, Astarion my hybrid ranged/melee assassin who swooped in to gank whatever he could get advantage against, Shadowheart being a dedicated buffer/healer hiding in her Sanctuary spell, and my elf wizard with a +1 longbow and bracers of archery doing a bit of damage and tossing occasional debuffs.

The Lightning Charge staff instead of the bow is probably the best weapon for Eldritch Blast warlocks throughout Acts 1 and 2, and can easily last through Act 3. The additional lightning damage is a separate damage source so it triggers extra damage from Hex, and is still considered part of Eldritch Blast so it applies bonus damage from Agonizing Blast. In late Act 2 and throughout Act 3 you can just focus on Arcane Acuity/+Spell Attack to make sure you're always hitting and you'll just shred enemies.

An very early weapon that you can obtain for yourself, is the "Eternal Flame's Sword", a two handed greatsword whose stats are: 2d6+Modifier as slash dmg and 1d4 fire dmg, as a bonus it counts as a torch, lighting the dark around you. You can loot it from Commander Zhalk's corpse after killing him before escaping the Nautiloid mind-flayer ship at the start of your campaign. There is also an Steam Achievement("Devil's in the Details") for doing that. If you find difficult to take him down, you can start off with a support class such as Shadowheart's and keep buffing the mind-flayer that is fighting Zhalk and have one of your companions be close to the console, so you can quickly loot the sword from him and escape right after, before his minions spawn and get on your way.

The damage a weapon does is based off of the stat of the character - so the staff doesn't do 0-7 damage, it does D8 + Str. You are looking at it with a character that has a -1 str modifer, so it does D8-1. Same for the spear in item 1.

There is also a pretty impressive dagger you can get for you rogue with the Kua Tua , from the stairs going to the arcane tower in the underworld, go the opposite way, jump on the champignons and you have stairs to go down, you will reach the Kua Tua, they are praying a god called "Boual" xD, if you do the right dialogue, he can give you a impressive blue dagger with a really nice buf on it, i'll let you check by yourself :), there are a lots of other items you didn't mentionned but hey it's part of the game to explore everything ^^

For the Jolt thing - I remember there were 3 or 4 different pieces of armor tied to that mechanic in Early Access. Does the launched game only have the boots and weapon now, or were the other pieces just left out here? Edit: Looking it up on a random wiki, seems like they're still in, and the other pieces are also mostly medium armor? But this info may be outdated. You don't HAVE to use these on Astarion to get the bonus action Dash. You can stack these items onto Shadowheart, or maybe onto your own Paladin character... and multi-class into Rogue for 3 levels. (Trickery Cleric + Thief or Arcane Trickster Rogue is actually a pretty good build!) So then you could have the Dash boots and the trident for generating lightning charges, add in the Sparky Hands (which boosts strength and dex checks if you have charges), Lifebringer circlet (temp hit points when you gain charges), the Blast Pendant (lets you expend the charges with a bonus action to add more damage to your next spell), and the Jolty Vest (causes enemies to become shocked when attacking you, if you have charges). Then finish it off with the Real Sparky Sparkswall shield (which lets you consume 4 charges for a Lightning Aura). Damn, I really hope these are ALL still in the game...

To put the mould in you just click the actual rectangle. Also, to add to what you said.....Sadly, you can indeed only craft 2 things with the moulds (I really wish it was 3), and there are a total of 5 moulds in total.

You can get the flaming sword from the Commander in the prologue fight if you managed to kill him and the armor he wears. You need to do it on explorer or it's way too hard to do on higher difficulties as his hp goes from 105 to 150 and the mind flayer he fights will die sooner since he'll hit harder or more often. Easiest to do it on multiplayer mode because you get to have 4 custom character and have two companions picked up as temporary companions, giving you the advantage of 6 characters over 3.

People are still sleeping on the Phalar Aluve, a longsword you can find in the underdark. It has an action that adds 1d4 damage to any attack that hits enemies within 20ft of the users. And I do mean "Any". Including your teammates'. And there's no saving throw against the effect, it's an auto-hit. Combine it with the Psychic Spark amulet also found in the Underdark and your lvl 1 spell slot magic missile is auto-hitting 8d4 damage per turn. That's an average of 20. For a lvl 1 spell slot. Oh yeah, and the action from the sword comes back with a short rest

The problem you had with the gnomes and Nere all being dead is that once you enter the area a hidden timer starts. You have to clear the rubble quickly, or everyone dies. And you do NOT want that to happen because the gnomes in there are part of a long series of quests given by Wroot - the gnome you find strapped to the windmill and harassed by goblins - hope you didn't kill HIM too, because that borks things up for the Ironhand Gnomes questline as well as removing a vendor with some great items. This game really encourages you to be careful who you kill. It has lots of backups to make sure you don't absolutely break the storyline, but you can lock yourself out of quests and items pretty easily by killing the wrong person.
