I mean, ya unless you do some broken bugs lol. I’m op for the game now with helldusk armor still technically in act 1

Agreed, I feel like on my first playthrough I just kept getting next level gear every time I finished a quest in act 3. And it kinda allowed me to change my build and my party members builds and that was a lot of fun.

Yea act 3 is fun for all 3 fights that aren't against a level 4 enemies. Lol.

@@957kakashino difference between getting helldusk armor through a glitch or bug and using cheat engine. Your honor run is null and void

@@Petemossfunguylike from a perspective of you really don’t deserve the win if you get it? Or is it just you don’t get the achievement perspective?

Me on my way to have the staff that gives arcane battery and this staff 👀

They patched it so it's not broken😢

So you're saying I can cosplay as Mystogan

@@ReZoTitan What happens since the patch now then? Just a consumable charge that needs to be regained?

You don’t need the dual feat you can just dual wield

Thank you I scrolled so far for this

Thank you I was irritated it talked about what it did but not where to get it

It's worth it to do the quest though. That mummy you can summon, is nothing to sneeze at.

Thank you 🙏

Thanks

OH MY GOD THANK YOU this will help me build my circle of Spore druid so much better!!! I was wondering if there was something better for this circle other then going mono druid

@theresagrawe7053 Fun fact, spore druid has more summons than normal necro, so run an animate dead for the battalion for 3 zombie summons, use the 4 free individual fungal zombie summons that come with spore druid as a class action, and get dance macabre for 4 free ghouls. You will have an ACTUAL army. A druid is a good frontline tank, as you know with symbiotic entity so run Balthazars undead ward circlet. Zombies galore as those hit by zombies can burst into temp undead.

Pair it with abyss beckoners and your wizard can solo most encounters.

@@wormwoodmain6677 If only that was a toggle ability lol

@@littlehorror1057 it is, at least on console the last time I played.

I just casted a hunger of hadar with Wyll, then a wall of mortal flame followed by a black hole from my sorc to suck everyone into the blazing inferno, which created a nice chain reaction of "Cull the Feak" mind explosions Noice!

And just go back to camp anytime you want assuming you aren't in combat and reset it but it doesn't really matter since it's as far into the game as it is

Is that still true after the last patch? Because they removed that as a viable option for Rhapsody and I might be a little grumpy if it's still a thing with the staff 🧐🥹

@@inawinchester not sure but at this point if it wasn't expect it to be fixed soon

@@mr.brightsai6772 thx 💖

...what

The Underwear build… sounds OP.

It works with rings and amulets too. Just cast, unequip both rings, cast again, then re-equip

10/10 game right? Full of game breaking items and builds. Needs a rework IMO. WAY TO EASY TO CHESSE. Have to actively build sub optimal, and ignore many items, just to have a challenge. Bad design, great story.

@@joseywales7463 Yes. 10/10 game. The game can be as hard or as easy as YOU choose to, just like RPG's used to be. People who like to cheese their way can enjoy this game, people who keep sabotaging themselves and make their life harder than it should (me) also enjoy this game.

@@STroB that's a poor way to balance your game. Have fun.

@@joseywales7463 That's the thing. It's a game, not a competition. It's supposed to be fun first and balanced second, and THAT'S why they won so many prices.

@@STroB it's not fun when there is no challenge. There is no challenge when the player has to remove half his brain to create a challenge. It's simply poor design. But have it your way.

It's fing boring, game breaking. You find that fun?

@@joseywales7463 yes.

@@swinskagrypa3385 there a cool mod that let's you kill every enemy in the game with a one time click. You can use it any time after 10 minutes into the game. This mod also uninstalls the game with one click a deteles all game content. It's the ultimate power weapon. Super fun too.

​@@swinskagrypa3385 chad answer. I personally don't like things that remove the need for resource management, but I commend anyone who plays in a way that's fun for them

literally it’s useless at that point when ur op anyways

God I hate playing on console 😢

I believe the Tharchiate "only" summons 4 ghouls, however they are free to summon despite being equal to a level 6 necromancy spell in essence

needs to be a necromancy spell

​@@OminousPinappleYou missed the joke

CLEANSE THE HEATHENS!

​@@scootaloo9491 well, your joke doesnt make sense lol

@@simonjameskenway6933 dog, it's not my joke

Wish Finger of Death was in the game. I'm on console so I can't mod.

Sounds boring AF.

@joseywales7463 I found it fun. My first playthrough, I ran Tav and Gale as Necromancers, with Jaehira and Halsin as Circle of Spores druids. I routinely had like 20 summons. Elementals and zombies and mummies galore. Act 3 was a laugh, but some fights had so many characters that the game started lagging on my PS5.

@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human In Baldurs Gate II SOA you could have 4 or 5 summons max. 20+ year old game.

@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human I sneak around so much, I don't even know how that would be possible with an entourage.

to you maybe, but i saw you pestering people around whenever they praised the game a little bit. find some different fun.@@joseywales7463

The only spells with limited usage per day are the ones learned by wizards from one-of-a-kind scrolls. So - Dethrone, Artistry of War, and Deva summon

It does now! :)

Yup, after Patch 6 they fixed it to have only one charge at a time, which is still broken because Dethrone and circle of death are free real estate

I mean, it states "until long rest" in the description so it's working exactly how it says it does.

@skeletonwar4445 I didn't read that I just assumed that since it had a counter to memory it was supposed to be once per kill

@@UberSparten Understandable, at first I assumed it'd only apply to the necromancy summoning spells, so you could get your big summon without a spell slot... but no lol, it's for all spells.

The duration is intentional, but definetely it's not supposed to be able to be passed around.

@@pigeonf.6298 Well, it seems to function similarly to items that have charges on it where if you use a charge and pass the item to another character the charge is still gone, but in reverse.

You can't multiclass in explorer for any builds that use more than 1 class. That being said you CAN set a custom difficulty that is basically explorer with multiclassing enabled.

I only play in honor mode, I honestly don't find the game very engaging in the other modes, and on top of that you don't get to fight against legendary actions

Yeah, they can use necromancy spell to

sorcerer with chain lightning twice in a turn go brrr with kereshka favor from markoheshkir and wet for up to 300+ damage

Act 3

I'll tell you exactly where in Act 3 without spoilers. This is what I did, but you can probably do it differently knowing how open this game is. When you get to Act 3, take on a quest for a mystic named Carrion where you gotta find someone named Thrumbo. After that, go find Thrumbo (took a while for me but I didn't think about all the hints you get together) and they'll give you a different quest involving Carrion. Take them up on it and, when you're done, you'll get the staff. I bet you can straight up steal it but I never tried doing that.

@@shadowdroid776 Cool! Thanks for the help! :)

Yep

That's a new thing

Looted from Mystic Carrion in Philgrave's Mansion.

It was patched

@@notveryartificial4486 so they’ve made it weak now!?

@@TheSleepyGoblin now the "life essence" gets depleted after you use it, and you'll have to harvest it again. And also the free spell can't trigger a new harvest, so you have to spend your spell slot and kill someone with it to get another free cast. So realistically it's one free cast per 2 or 3 normal casts

Incandescent staff from beginning of act 2 is great for the time you get it - a free fireball cast and fire damage resistance are not to be understated, pretty damn great thing

And you are correct. It’s still good just not as broken as it used to be.

​@@ERBanmechwhat changed?

@@jeepersmcgee3466 necromancy charges on the staff used to be bugged and were not consumed when casting a necromancy spell for free, allowing for infinite necromancy spells. Now, it consumes charges like it’s supposed to.
