Baldur's Gate 3 Fully Narrated Story (Early Access)

the story of baldur's gate 3's early access starts you off as a prisoner on an autoloid ship which are strange flying ships employed by mine flares that are capable of interplanar travel on this ship you find yourself constrained in a mysterious alien pod and you watch as a psionic space octopus enters the room this mind flayer grabs a tadpole from a brine pool and places it on another captive's face to your horror you watch as the tadpole squirms its way under this gif yankee's eyelid and into her brain tadpoles are hatched from mind flayer eggs and when one is inserted into the brain of another being the victim will undergo a process known as ceremorphosis which ultimately turns them into mind flares themselves as you may have predicted the mindflayer then grabs another tadpole and places it on your face and in a weak display of character you pass out as it goes deep into your brain hours later you wake up to find yourself free of your constraints and notice that the ship is heavily damaged and burning this might be your only chance at escape reaching an outer deck area you see that the nautiloid is currently flying in a vernis the uppermost layer of the nine hells and the ship is not only being chased by various denizens of avernus but also by what appears to be gith yankees flying on the back of red dragons the githyanki race has been at war with the mind flayers ever since their millennial long enslavement to them in the past with no other choice you press on and end up running into the beautiful githyanki prisoner that you saw before nation this is your end she almost kills you but holds off and explains to you that you must work together to get to the helm of the ship which apparently is the only way both of you can possibly get out of the nine hells and then off the ship fighting your way through packs of imps you eventually make it to the helm where you see a mind flayer fighting off imps and cambions which are half devils the mind flayer turns your way and telepathically orders you to connect the nerves of the transponder so that you can all escape liszel assures you that the mind flare is of course no friend but your first priority should be getting the ship out of the nine hells and then you can deal with the mind flare problem together you fight your way to the transponder and just as you connect the nerves a red dragon shows up and blows most of the helm room apart luckily though the ship jumps out of a vernis and back to the material plane the severely damaged ship is going down fast and without that flight attendant giving you a seatbelt tutorial you end up getting knocked off a split second before becoming a pancake a mysterious force stops your fall and you end up only suffering a few bruises hours later you wake up on the shores of a river amidst the wreckage of the nautiloid ship walking up the beach you end up running into another prisoner that you saw on the ship she goes by the name of shadow heart and is a half elf cleric you can call me shadowhat despite your differences you both join forces after a quick discussion as to what to do about the tadpoles in your brains you must find a healer and you're better off searching together after killing a couple walking brain aberrations called intellect devours you end up finding yourself with a knife to your neck but to your surprise it's not shadow heart it's everyone's favorite high elf rogue by the name of astarian my name's astaren unfortunately he has pushed you too far and you end his life on the spot i'm just kidding take your dislikes back i'll leave him alive on this play through despite your differences he joins your forming entourage and you head off only to run into a guy who thinks it's funny to say that you're staring at me like a rashimi at a blackboard on every single fucking playthrough this man is a wizard by the name of gail who was also a captive on the nautiloid ship okay well met and despite your differences he joins the posse to help search for a healer but not before dropping a little sexiness on shadowheart a woman with shadows for eyes deep as the dark lake pleasure madam onward your party goes until you run into two tieflings who have captured the githyanki fighter named laizelle that you fought side by side with earlier on the ship yankee are typically not a welcome sight on faerun as they come from the astral plane and when they're spotted on the material plane they oftentimes are conducting raids like vikings would the tieflings tell you that there is a healer in a camp nearby named neddy who can heal all wounds the lazel politely interrupts you again get rid of them after analyzing your history of romances or should i say lack of history in an act to impress laizel you killed the tieflings and shadow heart all shadow had to do was share some wine with you and accept your coconut oil massage offer on just one damn play through realizing that your current party composition will no longer have healing word you regret that decision but push on because you're not a save scummer yes you are arriving at the gates to the druids camp in search of nettie you find yourself involved in a battle as goblins are attacking the gate luckily the blade of frontiers saves the day with his single rapier and the goblins are defeated entering the druids camp you come across a tiefling named zevlor who's yelling at a dude named eredin telling him that he led the goblins to the camp and also let them take the druid not wanting to get on the bad side of a dude with horns you pull a floyd mayweather on ariden and then eredin leaves the camp zevler tells you that the druids at the grove are starting a ritual that's going to cut the grove off from the outside world this would force zevlor and his band of refugee tieflings out of the grove and back on the dangerous road to baldur's gate where he believes they will surely be slaughtered by the growing force of goblins the tieflings at the grove come from the city of el torell which was recently transported to the nine hells and then eventually back to faerun el torel is currently in an apocalyptic state due to that disastrous event and the residents of el torell basically kicked out the innocent tieflings because of the tifling race having bloodlines going back to the nine hells zevler asks you to try to persuade a druid named kaga who is the temp archdruid of the grove to at the very least give the tieflings more time to prepare before they have to leave you set off into the grove and find kaga but first come across the crazy one-eyed blade of frontiers who is currently helping train teefling children in combat he introduces himself as a warlock by the name of will and simply because of his cool accent and max party size being four you push a starion off a cliff to make r i'm just kidding you push gal off i actually need gal for his upcoming thunder wave okay okay you push your only shot at a straight romance if you're a guy off a cliff to be eaten by a bear and the boys are back in town and just now i'm realizing that in the gameplay footage i'm using for this video i didn't end up taking will with me so goodbye will and hello again my sweet sweet beautiful oh you've risked plenty deeper into the grove you find kaga who lets a snake kill a cute little tiefling girl kaga tells you that she's conducting the ritual because she fears that the grove cannot support both the druids and the teeflines and that you should escort the tieflings out of the camp immediately go on say it you think i'm a monster when you get back to zevlor he has already heard the news about the tiefling girl and he asks you if you want to assassinate kaga sounds like fun but first let's see if we can get neddy to get these damn tadpoles out of our brains speaking to the gold dwarf druid nettie she tells you that she can probably heal you but that you need to come with her to the back room well figures turns out that she doesn't take you to pound town and instead pricks you with a poisonous thorn but but wait because what i'm about to do after this scene might be one of the most evilest things you've ever seen in an rpg to date i'm gonna change the way that this scene plays out so that it doesn't result in death yet so nettie talks to you about how odd it is that you and your companions have not gone through ceramorphosis yet and transformed into mind flares and that the dead drow on the table next to her also had a tadpole in his brain that they were attempting to research neddy explains that the actual archdruid of the grove daddy helsin has gone missing as he set out on an expedition into goblin territory to investigate the growing evils in the land and maybe find answers as to what these tadpoles really are and why they're being found in so many brains netty tells you that if you can find helsin he might be your best bet as to a cure on your way out you of course kill kaga and learn that her and some of the other druids are actually part of an eagle or eagle evil evil organization known as the shadow druids and that they had plans to conduct the ritual which will help them take over the grove a few of the good druids thank you and tell you to go find helsin not only for your cure but also to alert him of what has happened at the grove and he is certainly needed okay here's where some of you might want to exit the video for about 10 to 15 seconds on your way out of the grove you hear a terrible song being saying up on a nearby cliff naturally you investigate and decide that the world is better off with a thug um okay you can come back to the video now on your way to the goblin camp to find helsin you come across that jabroni ariden again looks like most of his band of adventurers have been killed on the road and he tells you that he was actually working on a contract that he took from a wizard in baldur's gate this wizard offered to pay a handsome amount of gold for anyone who could find and retrieve a mysterious relic called night song which is supposedly hidden underneath the temple that the goblins have taken over which is the goblin camp that you're currently headed to in search of helsin eredin then reveals to you that when the druid helsin found out about this contract he showed great interest in this relic and eagerly joined them but when they got jumped by the goblins on the road helsin was taken prisoner and could possibly even be dead eredon also tells you that one of his adventures a dwarf named brian has a map leading to the night song relic but that brian was killed by goblins at the temple you and your party set back off to the goblin camp in hopes of finding helsin and also maybe this mysterious relic passing through a ruined village you're stopped by goblins and it is here that you learn that the tadpole in your brain actually grants you some power to be able to subject some of these goblins to your commands when you use your psionical lifted powers the goblins say you're a true soul but my mistake sir so we're a true soul what the hell are these tadpoles doing to us after a few other interactions in the ruined village in an attempt to make up for your previous sins by saving a deep gnome but accidentally pulling the wrong lever you leave the village smother some poop on your face you stupid idiot then finally make it to the goblin fortress before entering though it's time for a rest and at your camp you're approached by rafael sanzio de orbino that's not actually his name it's just rafael well matt i am raphael raphael tells you a lullaby and then somehow transports both of you to what he calls the house of hope where the tired come to rest and the famished come to feed he then transforms into and then tells you that he could fix your tadpole problem with the snap of a finger not wanting to take a deal with a denizen of the nine hells for the sake of your soul you refuse but he leaves the offer on the table and tells you that when all luck runs out he will be there you appear back at your camp take a nap and then back to the fortress so this goblin fortress was previously a temple of seluna the good goddess of the moon but has been taken over by these worshipers of the absolute the goblins once again regard you and your party as true souls and you're welcomed into the camp where you learn that there is in fact a druid being held captive somewhere within absolutely sick of bards in their songs you somehow hold back on a thunder wave and ignore volo but if there was a cliff nearby it might be a different story and you head deeper into the ruined temple of seluna one of the goblins tells you that the absolute is gathering all the true souls together but for what well he doesn't know within the temple you meet a goblin named priestess gut who tries to brand you with the mark of the absolute and then invites you into a back room you're a great guy though and in your head and only your head shadow heart is your girlfriend though so you don't go into the back room in another nearby room you come across a hobo hobgoblin named drawer ragslin it appears as if he's trying to speak with a dead mind flayer your mind and his telepathically connect he must also have a tadpole in his brain and be one of these true souls he tells you that the absolute wants to know who killed this mind flayer and ran from the ship and that using the speak with dead spell on it may reveal this mystery with a successful wisdom check you're able to gain control of draw ragsland's mind and prevent him from asking the questions that would surely condemn you instead you're able to ask the mind flayer a few questions that you have who is the absolute then the creature speaks envisions curved drow blades crude goblin torches nalties dripping blood you see other mine flares arranged in a serene circle absolute unity absolute power and why were the gif yankee chasing you see dark tunnels lit by noxious pools of brine the darkness spreads through the earth the sky splits open and nautiloids pour out of a void that consumes the stars something big is obviously going on here with the tadpoles the absolute the mind flayers and the true souls that is all you're able to get from the mind flare though so you leave draw ragsland and go back to searching for helsin deeper in the fortress you meet another one of the camp leaders a drow by the name of menthara when your minds connect and she sees that you're a true soul she tells you that she's assembling a raid party to wipe out the druid's grove because they're worshipers of a false god you leave the conversation not wanting to accidentally give away any information on the grove when you get to the warg pens area you find a bear being held in a cell this must be the druid helsin at this point you're pretty much over talking to these worshipers of the absolute so you wipe the room of goblins and release the bear hello daddy helsin [Music] helsin appears to be amazed that you and your party are actually aware of the monstrosities in your head and that you don't bow to the absolute he tells you that he doesn't quite understand how that is but he does sense a powerful magic binding you and the creature together and that if he were to attempt to remove it it would almost certainly kill you helsin tells you that there's a place called moonrise towers which is likely the best bet for finding the source of this powerful magic and figuring out the cure but i believe i know where answers can be found moonrise towers moonai's towers is however very dangerous and it's the place where the absolute cultists are sending their captives a place where innocents go in and true souls come out helsin tells you that if you can help him kill the leaders of this goblin fortress and prevent them from taking out his grove he will help you and even accompany you to moonrise towers not wanting to let daddy helsin down you kill priestess gut draw ragslin and menthara and then head back to the grove helston then reveals to you that in order to get to moonrise towers you'll have to pass through a terrible cursed place where any who linger are twisted and become shadow beans you'll need to choose your approach carefully by either going the overland route or through the underdark helsin actually recommends the underdark and says that there's a tunnel somewhere in the ruined temple of seluna that will lead to moonrise towers he also tells you that a man named ketherik thorm built a secret stronghold in the underdark before rallying a whole army of shar worshipers from this stronghold cathorex forces were able to access both the temple of seluna and moonrise towers but before they were able to launch an attack they were defeated if we can find this stronghold it will likely reveal a path to moonrise towers bypassing the worst of the shadow curse helsin says that after he tends to some matters at the grove he would like to join our camp and ultimately come with us to moonrise towers protecting us with his bulging biceps the mind flayers threaten the natural order and it's helsin's duty to stop them and he also wants to help stop this mysterious shadow curse later that night zevlor and his teeflines have a party at your camp before they head back onto the road to baldur's gate they are very thankful that you killed the leaders of the goblin fortress giving them hopes of a much safer journey in the morning you awaken to helsin not that way asking you if you're ready to press on in search of moonrise towers but that's basically the last role that he plays in the current version of early access when the game officially launches you'll likely be choosing one of these routes that helsin mentioned to get to moonrise but you can actually start on the underdark route right now in early access heading back to the ruins of the temple of seluna you end up discovering the entrance to the underdark that helsin was talking about and head into magic mushroom paradise after getting zapped in the butt by a laser the underdark holds all sorts of secrets and dangers but it also holds the ending to early access itself the search for the night song relic has gone cold at this point but you end up boarding a boat that brings you to what appears to be the stronghold that should give you the path to moonrise this stronghold fortress has symbols of the absolute all over it and it also has the end game boss sven [Music] as most of you guys know there's much much more to baldur's gate 3 early access than what i showed in this video in this video i really only focused on the main story quest line just so we could have one place where it all comes together and we can get a better understanding as to what's going on i also left out all of the companion quests in this video i have separate videos dedicated for those and i've already done one of them for lazell also keep in mind guys that your playthrough might be much different than what i did in this one for example you can actually side with the goblins and attack the druids grove which kind of results in a different playthrough than what i experienced on mine and you also don't have to thunder wave the bard off the cliff anyways guys shout out to all patrons and channel members videos like this take a lot longer than the average video and because of people like you it's much easier to make that decision and sacrifice the time that i could put into many many more videos throughout the week and put it all into one to do a video that i really want to do and also shout out to everybody who made it this far in the video definitely let me know below in the comments that is the most important factor for a video's success thanks so much for watching guys if you guys ended up enjoying this video please like comment and subscribe i really appreciate it i do all sorts of content on this channel ranging from live streams to game reviews to game tutorials to class guides to lore videos oh my voice is tired i just got done with a seven hour stream catch you guys on the next one you
