Baldurs Gate 3 - Fastest Leveling Guide to Level 5 - Solo Honour Mode

After some experimenting this is the fastest route to level 5 that I have found so far. This was done using a sorcerer and only requires 3 fights (including Grym).
This could probably be even faster, but I wasn't going for a "True" speedrun. I just wanted to share the route while starting my HM run.
If anyone has any recommendations or notices something that could be improved let me know.

To get the Shapeshifter ring: If you keep your PC back a bit and send a mage hand to go smack it, it will hostile and kill the mage hand. You can then go up and talk to him to initiate a trade to make him happy with you again, and from there trade the ring from him. Killing it is faster/easier, but if you want to keep it around for the story that's possible too.

you don't have to kill the ox to get the ring. you can attack him, then leave and come back. he'll ask for money to smooth things over, and you can buy the ring

Edit: Actually, I just went back and watched the Melphit fight before Grym, seems like that yields 750XP so I actually definitely didn't get Grym XP. That explains why I've done everything in this video + cleared brains at the start + cleared bone man's temple + cleared the duergar + cleared hellboars and merregon in grymforge + a bunch of other things and I'm 75XP from 5. Original Comment: On the topic of Grym not giving XP if you throw items and he dies to gravity damage (approx 1:01:50) I actually had this issue earlier today; went into the Grym fight with ~2400 XP to level 5, after the fight I had roughly the same XP, reloaded the game after doing the spiders in Grymforge + getting the invis ring + melphits by second Mitral ore vein and I have ~1300 XP to level 5, so looks like I got that Grym XP after reloading. Can't say for sure since I wasn't really keeping an eye on it but that seems to be the case

@SitDownSon06 2 ай бұрын

Yeah I would bet thats what happened. It's not a huge deal unless you are playing solo, in which case you really need the almost 900 xp he gives to get that boost to level 5.

for the grove fight: you can jump into the grove, and blow the horn every round for easy mode. i think elixer+enhanced leap will do it. storm sorcery can get you in for sure. maybe mage hand can blow the horn, too? i haven't tried

Hey, thank you for the video! What I noticed is that it's hard to hear your voice over the game sometimes and I think you could have skipped some combat footage. But I liked it. Good luck with future videos.

@ironbar2009 Ай бұрын

If you don't have digital deluxe, do you need to start wizard/sorcerer for access to feather fall, enhanced jump, and disguise self? Assuming that two of those are needed for an efficient early game route (traversing and transforming to Drow/Gith if you don't want to start one of those races)? I know you can always re-spec after getting leveled up but I'm lazy and don't like re-specs

@SitDownSon06 Ай бұрын

Disguise self is the most important thing to have. It really speeds up act one. Jump and feather fall are convenient but if respec breaks immersion for you it’s totally not needed.

@orshefer1467 Ай бұрын

I did the solo run without any deluxe, disguise self, or durge - so let's say you're a random race that isn't 'efficient' for the situations. Goblins in general are easy if you have talking profs or at least some wisdom for detect thoughts. Leave the gnome part for a post-long rest so you have the illithid option. Without long rests (or as a challenge), make sure you can get away to the roofs, they're easy kiting from there. Other encounters are easy enough, though I'd give up the gith pass and walk from the gob camp one - if the gith get initiative you're 99% screwed. I go kill things instead, I ended a run too many there because of low rolls. In general, with or without the 'buffs' you get from disguise self, but especially without, learn to love fleeing combat

@ironbar2009 Ай бұрын

@@orshefer1467 haha yeah, requiring disguise self, enhanced leap, and feather fall on a single character is a little bit overkill for the sake of optimization. Still, having a consistent route to get you level 4/5 for feats does make the early game more bearable lol.

@@ironbar2009 jump isn't a must and feather fall even less, but jump + elixir saves SO much time on the 'walking' I try to always have it. Keeping yourself sane in these runs is a must imho 😅

So question... do you get more xp from doing the persuasive options or from killing, like example with the windmill goblins is it more xp to kill them all or just persuade them not to fight? Same question for the bandits at the temple for another example

@Gatsuuga16 21 күн бұрын

im like 90% sure its the same XP. you "succeeded" at the encounter and receive the same ampunt of xp no matter what. It used to be a thing that you could get triple xp at the windmill. pass the persuasion, then attack with non lethal, then save, quit, reload, and kill them all lol. they patched it.

If Barth manages to survive and he stays in Grove with Aradin then tiefling scum will steal Barth's mother amulet. Dealing with situation will bring you +45 exp but Mol will be pissed and you need to rescue another tiefling scum from harpies to get the Idol quest.
