I'm Zoe deah huny light and these Boulders Gate 3 tips are a level above my Advanced tips videos as these tips are the product of over 100 hours with Boulders Gate 3 these are Nitty Gritty pointers and I'm just about to get into them but before I do I've also got beginners tips Advanced tips beginners multiclassing and advanced multiclassing videos for you to watch if you so desire okay time to go down by the river here are my 100 plus hour tips for you my le for those of us using steam who also happen to be the impatient type you can bypass the launcher right click borders Gate 3 in your library then go to properties then General and type in dh- skip Das launcher in your launch options next time you boot up the game it'll dive straight in without the launcher and save valuable seconds inspecting enemies is a life saver like literally by inspecting an enemy you'll be able to see what it's resistant and vulnerable to as well as any effects it's currently suffering just like in Divinity original sin 2 also by laran and also very much worth playing this can make a huge difference between how your fights go hover over the enemy with your mouse and press T which will bring up a detailed panel going over their status then simply optimize your strategy and hopefully Victory will be yours if you're playing on Steam deck just make sure to press down on the d-pad to inspect enemies barrels and crates are under no circumstances to be underestimated they can be used to block doors or paths bottlenecking the enemy to wherever you want them to be whether that's through narrow corridors or hazards like fire and acid re-rooting their pathf finding also forces enemies to use all their movement up trying to get to you and if you do it right they'll also have to dash meaning that even by the time they get to you they won't have a main action left to attack you with crates are also very handy for blocking enemy's line of sight meaning you Rogues can hide in almost Plain Sight just be careful when you're moving them around so you remain obscured or stack crates on top of each other to get to Hidden places in the ceilings or a top of roofs granting you extra stealthing opportunities and AD advantage on ranged attacks from having The High Ground just remember that you actually get disadvantage on ranged attacks if you're too high up so there's a delicate balance you want to strike there in a similar vein you can have your strongest characters like carlac store barrels or crates in their inventory then you always have one to use no matter where you are place them to block enemies vents access hidden areas or just like a said before get advantage on attacks from being slightly higher than your foes if you want something more scandalous but fun you can also put explosive Barrels in your inventory as long as you have enough carry weight available explosive barrels can be thrown at enemies obviously but remember that they need to be ignited in order to create that fleshy fiery burning effect you'll need to make sure there's a candle on the floor or someone's already cast something like Fireball to make sure there's a fire area of effect ready to ignite all that powder but powder isn't the only thing that can be blown up you can also have fire wine or oil barrels that do the same thing or in a push a grease spell make sure to keep Alchemists fire on you because even if you can't create a fiery ARA of effect with a spell chucking some Alchemists fire on the ground and then combining that with a smoke powder Barrel is a way to get rid of a lot of enemies very quickly with a lot of noise and I like it very much who doesn't like having your very own fleshy firework show of body parts and Cinder if lever out of your melee range and you're in a fight and want to slam the door in someone's face then know that you can activate them by either throwing a spell their way or loosing an arrow in their Direction This is especially useful in fights when you might want to close or open a PK kalis of somewhere that's distinctly arachnid in order to let loose certain threats navigating the underd dark if you don't have dark vision can be tricky but there's an easy solution under the ranged weapon in the left bottom of your screen on PC there's a button that allows you to switch to using your light source on controller or steam deck just hold up on the d-pad to do the same just make sure your character does have either a candle or a torch equipped and then they'll be able to bring it out to light up the mer I've experienced this so many times I'll Sprint up a ladder to get advantage of my crossbow attacks and then the enemy will be just plain rude and run up the ladder too and get into a meley fight with me when all I want to do is stay safe on my safety platform well there is a way around that you can destroy wooden ladders so no one can follow you up to your beloved platform A good rule of thumb is that if an item has a health bar it can be destroyed some items will have features like stir St or extra sturdy which means that you need to deal more than 10 points of damage to even make a dent in them or your attacks will just go to waste it's a good rule of thumb to always use a Warhammer when it comes to taking down cracked walls as they're more resistant to piercing and slashing damage anyway back to the platforms just like with the crates this will force enemies to find other ways up to you meaning they waste their movement and an action on Dash or just end up up getting disadvantage on every ranged attack when they have to resort to attacking From Below just bear in mind that whichever of your party members are left on the ground are going to take the brunt of all the enemy attacks if you have most people up on a Ledge I'd recommend having a wizard that can increase their jump ability just to make sure no stragglers are left behind looting is an essential route we all take at some point in Border Skate 3 but you might lose track of what you've rifled through and what yet needs to be searched look out for an asterisk after the name of whatever you're trying to loot as that means you haven't searched through it yet I can't segue into this in a way that makes it seem normal so just be aware fellow necromancers that you can store corpses in the Traveler's chest meaning there's always something for you to reanimate anyway moving swiftly on I have a whole load of invent ventory management tips and God that might sound boring but Inventory management is important so listen up your characters share keys so there's no need to move them around between your party clicking on an item slot in your inventory like your helmet or weapon will show all the possible items that can go in that slot from the inventory of all of your characters so you don't have to move stuff around both shift clicking and control clicking lets you select multiple items in your inventory letting you add groups to either junk or wees for selling drag items from an inventory onto another character's portrait to have it go to that character's Pockets this works when you're looting chests or corpses meaning you won't have one character weighed down by all manner of bits and Bobs if you're using your steam deck just press X on an item to select which character you want it to go to to sort and organize messy inventories use backpacks kind of as folders one for potion one for books etc etc be aware however that you can't sell items if they're inside bags so keep all of your wares out of them and lastly don't fret if you forget to make sure each character is stocked up on health potions before a battle on mouse and keyboard simply hit Tab and right click on the health potion to use it from any characters inventory on your steam deck just bring up the characters inventory that has the potion that you want press X on it and then you can move it to whichever inventory you want it to be in just remember that drinking a potion either uses up a bonus action or a main action depending on what thing you're consuming you can sell gems as they aren't needed for any crafting recipes so stop hoarding them like a dragon that's very GTH yanky of you this is a pointer that's obvious when it comes to D and D but in borders Gate 3 it's easy to for get that you should try to roleplay your character what that means is doing things that make sense for your character rather than what would avoid conflict or fights or whatever you as a person would want to do role playing your character is actively encouraged in borders Gate 3 as by doing so you get inspiration points which are incredibly valuable you can have a maximum of four at any time and they're used to reroll dice meaning they can be the difference between a successful encounter ability check or just unlocking a chest and dreaded failure roleplay your character by choosing dialogue options that have your race or class in Brackets next to them or doing things like bribing a guard if you're a rogue or making sure everyone survives an encounter if one of your party like lizel has the soldier background the disguise self spell is incredibly useful and perhaps even over EMP powered you can use it to make your victims speak to you if you car speak with dead as if you don't disguise yourself and you're the one that killed them they'll tell you to go to hell although you have technically already been there this is a great hack when you know you're about to get into a big battle the spell warding Bond can be cast by clerics which gives a Target resistance to every element and a plus one buff to both their Armor class and saving roles however the person casting warding Bond will take the same damage that the target receives a way around this is getting a highing to cast the spell then have them remain at Camp acting as a remote buff you can do this with pretty much all spells that last until a long rest and require concentration such as long Strider dark vision protection against poison and Aid Rangers your Beast Master feature will allow you to have a giant Spider by your side via the Rangers companion not ideal if you're arachnophobic however it might be worth the discomfort as the spider can create webs on command you can have it spawn webs which in turn provide either a hazardous surface to in web enemies in and stop them in their tracks or a fiery mess of spider spittle as spiderweb is very flammable pair this with the explosive barrels carlac has in her inventory and your CER up for a great time your enemies however will not be distracting foes and using crowd control spells are at the core of any good battle strategy in borders gay 3 but don't discount the Dual use of your familiars or summonable entities as well as attacking enemies these summons draw foes towards them making them waste their movement and action on attacking your etherial friends spiritual weapon guardian of the faith and even the ogres you can Ally with at the beginning of borders Gate 3 are all worth their weight in gold in the later fights when you need to Pivot towards incapacitating your enemies rather than just dealing straight damage don't forget to summon Mage hand at the beginning of the battle too as it can throw things at enemies spiritual weapon and Mage hand are also bonus actions for liel and Shadow heart so I mean why wouldn't you summon them before you end your turn after doing a ranged weapon attack if you have enemies near you make sure to switch back to your melee weapon so you can get in an opportunity attack if an enemy runs past and finally instead of throwing a potion at a Target drop it on the ground and then attack it it will hit a larger area meaning more damage to foes or more healing to allies the latter probably being the most common obviously you need to be in Mel range of an ally for this to work do you have any other
