Baldur's Gate 3 - Honour Mode Speedrun and Achievement Tutorial - Goomba Route

hey everyone I'm Kronos and this is an updated tutorial of Act Two for the new route called the Goomba stomp route that I used in my latest honor mode speedrun this route is quite a bit faster than The Shard Temple route that I used in my other tutorial and changes the Run quite a bit from before it might be a bit easier for some of you to do this route rather than the other one so I highly recommend this as an alternative if you can't get the other route to work and yeah as always if you're interested in seeing more make sure to like And subscribe before we get started I won't cover much of Acts 1 and three as they are pretty much the same with this route except for a small few differences that I will cover in the video so in act one pretty much everything is the same as before there's only only a few small differences for instance we don't need to pick up the barrel or the water in the act one tutorial but here we also need to recruit lasel so this is from where we leave off by entering into the mountain passest so right here we're just Reviving our Tav who should have infinite status from this point if you did everything as described in my previous video so from here same as usual feather fall and enhanced sleep and we're just going to make our way to lasel who is at this way point for the crush so right here we just talk to LEL and we recruit her with option number three so we choose all right and then we get LEL in our party from here everything's pretty much the same just make sure you ungroup so lasel doesn't follow you to all these enemies and continue on forward so once we enter act two everything's pretty much the same right here we just skip all the dialogue and then here we switch over to Shadow heart transform her and then we're just going to kidnap her like before so once again you don't know how this works just refer to my other tutorials so from here we're just jumping down with Shadow heart and on the second jump we want to switch over to Magic Miss this will be used for killing shadow heart right here so once we jump down to the bottom we drop shadow heart off talk to cani and hopefully not roll a one here so once we do all that just skip all the dialogue and yeah so here lel's not going to be doing anything for a little bit here uh and and we're just going to do the same thing as we did in the other tutorial where we grabed the moon Lantern so just command drop pick it up and switch over to our Tav so with Shadow heart select dialog four to release the pixie and then get through the shadow curse with option one and now we should have the buff for the pixie so from here we're going to kill Shadow heart this is so we can pick her up now so we're going to kill her so we use magic missiles and a couple punches and then loot her body and pick her up so at this point this is where we would normally have lasel uh PA over to last Light in so I'm going to show you how that looks like so from here we're just moving our camera from lasel who is standing here a bit forwards and a bit to the right and you should be able to see uh this area right here so what I like to use are these rocks here I guess they're kind of rocks but it's weird tree is formations but there's this corner right here and there's this rock here so I like to aim somewhere in the middle of this area you're having trouble seeing it it's fine uh it's a pretty lenient range it's like this entire area basically you can click in but I just like clicking at this spot here and once you do click Lazelle should start paing so I'll show you what it looks like so I'll click and then Lazelle should start moving so we can switch back to her and see that she is going to start paing to moonrise so from here we're just going to switch back to our Tab and we're going to make our way to the prison so same thing as before uh it's pretty much the same route as the shark Temple route where we go all the way to get the balers gate Waypoint except instead of turning to the sh Temple we're just going to head to the balers gate area because that takes us to the prison so once we get far enough before we enter the prison we want to make sure we don't have anything in our tab's inventory so we take all of this stuff and give it to lasel here because we want to make sure that we don't lose all of these items as they'll be very important for later on so something that you'll also notice is a piece of dialogue is going to pop up when lasel gets close enough to last Light in so it should be happening pretty soon and you'll see it pop up in text form here this place is protect so you see this this place is protected when you see this line switch over to lasel and this is when you're going to PA into last Light in so from here we're just paing into last Light in and we're going to have this dialogue with jir so with this dialogue we're just spamming one and right click to skip all of it's going to basically go through recruiting jira and everything and all of that and now we're just moving our camera into last Light in and scrolling in a bit so we can see this potion of invisibility this is what we want to get for the run so we're just going to click right at the potion here and then once we're able to pick it up we just click it and then that's basically it lasel will p over pick it up and we're good to go so from here we just switch back over to our tab you can see lasel picked up one potion of invisibility and we're good to keep going so from here we're just keep moving forwards we get this way point here and we're just going to head to the prison by jumping at this area right click and continue forwards there can be no doubt this teleports us to the this is where we'll discover the secret of the absolute so from here we jump down to the hole to break out of the prison what the hell and we're just going to do the OBET skip that we did before so if you don't know how this works refer to my last tutorial once again go to crouch mode scroll your camera all the way up in tactical View and jump right as this brain is paing to you to get that jump properly so once we do that we're just continuing on a bit further here and we're going to jump forwards and instead of heading to cck immediately we're going to need an extra level up so this is done by going to the left instead here not to this door where there's this neural apparatus here so this neural apparatus is going to let us activate all of these pods and what we want to do is right click to skip all the diog and click number two to purge the pods this will give us a bunch of XP and basically level us up to level three from here we're just going to jump our way back to cck and we're going to start to do some menuing so from here we open the door head down to the bottom here and we're going to set up all of this stuff here here so we're giving Shadow heart to Tav along with a revived by scroll and we're going to give a potion of invisibility to Shadow heart so from here we're going to set up infinite status glitch so that is done once again we drop shadow heart on the floor and we're going to turn on turn base mode pick up Shadow heart Lea turn base mode drop shadow heart again and then revive her so once we do that shadow heart should have infinite status we'll get this line of dialogue from Shadow heart right click to skip that and we're going to activate this neural apparatus to start heading down while it's heading down we're going to start leveling up and for shadow heart this is the most important level up we're going to do Druid so this will let us shape change into a bear with the second level up which which will be this one so for our subass we need to make sure we have circle of the Moon none of the other spells and stuff matter just make sure you are a druid with circle of the Moon because you get wild shape of beer so from here we get tabs level and these spells don't matter for this first level up but the second level up is where it matters since we need Misty step and enlarge slash reduce and this is going to let us make Shadow heart transform to be bigger to deal more damage and have more weight so we can defeat cck and then Misty step to be able to release the Night song and once again we need to prepare these spells so we take out these two on the right and replace them with these two from here lel's level doesn't matter at this point uh at least for this route so we're just going to ignore it by pressing escape and we're just going to head to the door so you can do all the jumping and paing stuff a lot more optimally which you could see in my run so depending on what you do and what you're used to you'll see people do levels at different places and item swaps and everything as well just try to find what works for you and yeah from here we're just going to enter into the Cather fight so once again enter the door and we're going to skip all of this dialogue so this section is pretty difficult to uh go through but it will make a lot more sense after doing it a couple times so once again we're going to be into this cathic fight and we want to be able to defeat cck by bringing him down to this floor area here and releasing the Night song so we need to be able to get to this area with our Tav so we can Misty step over to the Night song and everything is going to go by pretty quickly so once again we're going to need to buff up Shadow heart first here so let's switch over to her and we're going to shape change into a bear so from here we switch over to our Tav and we're going to cast all our Buffs on Shadow heart that she needs so that includes featherfall enhance sleep enlarge so it's this left [Music] one and that's all that shadow heart needs right now except for the invisibility which we will do right after but first we want to have our tab jump over to this side so we cast enhanced sleap on ourselves we go into sneak mode and just make sure that this red which is kth's vision is not where you jump to and normally kth's paing is going over this way so he'll be able to see some of these areas so try to jump over far to the right while sneaking so that way cck doesn't see you from here we switch over to Shadow heart and drink the invisibility potion so you become invisible and from here you're able to do whatever you want with Shadow heart as long as you don't attack anything so what I like to do is jump to the top here to set up for cck right next to the mine flare and once again because we have infinite status none of these effects will tick down in time so you have a lot of time to set up all of this as long as you don't mess up here what now from here this is probably the scariest and most dangerous part of the run that you can lose your run to so right here you're going to cast minor illusion to bring cck down to the bottom here so when we do that Keck is going to start walking down this way and could potentially see you in this area so once you do it you have to make sure to be ready to start casting Misty step to go over to the Night song and there is some RNG based off your initiative roles so if you get unlucky with your initiative you might not be able to complete the run so that is why this is kind of risky but most of the time you should be fine so how it should look like is this we're going to cast minor illusion and then we're going to wait for cck to make sure he comes down to the bottom here before we Misty step over to the Night song so it's going going to look something like this cck's going to make his way down and then we're going to cast Misty Step At The Night song So once again we can see krix Still Standing There we free the Night song before cth starts moving up and we are good to go so notice that because uh our Tav just released the Night song kri is vulnerable now but notice that uh Shadow heart's not in the fight because she is invisible so when we switch over to her we're able to move around and do whatever we want and we won't affect combat in this area so from here we're just going to jump basically on top of cck and once again you could do this in glitchless as well so once again this part you can just keep jumping onto KCK and he'll take around 50 to 60 damage with each hit so once you land bear just jump back up and repeat until cck dies so I say you can do this in glitch list because uh the only thing that's limiting you is the amount of time you have for these so if you do it quick enough you should be able to defeat cck phase one without glitches however for phase two for Merkel uh we are going to do somewhat of a buggy jump for defeating it so we'll have to do an alternative if we want to do a glitchless route so once KCK is defeated we'll get the cut scene here just right click to skip it all and we'll have Merkel spawn in and same thing as before uh Shadow heart's not in the fight so we're able to just move around and do whatever but from here I jump up to where these necrom mites are so I jump into this area which is is slightly more raised and then we're going to toggle the camera so we're on to the Tactical camera here and we're just going to uh s jump with the scroll wheel jump onto this opposite side of Merkel here so as long as you're entering around the center of Merkel here with the spam jump you should land straight in the middle and once again this is done with the scroll wheel jump so holding shift and then mashing Z and scroll wheel we land on top of mle and you should do two strikes of around 50 to 60 damage then we just have to walk out because we can't directly jump back we jump back onto the spot we were before and then just repeat uh until Merkel dies so once again land on Merkel half out jump back and do it again should take about four times and then for the last time once we land Merkel is defeated so that's pretty much the biggest uh parts to cover in uh act two here but just to wrap things up uh because there are some slight deviations from this point because we're still uh we have Dame alen now things are going to be slightly different and we have Shadow heart as a beer uh so we're going to loot cck's corpse and when we do that notice that we skip the dialogue because uh D alen can't just talk to us while we're in Bear form we take all the items from Krick and then we make sure to press G to group our Tav so our Tav follows us out to the portal we jump to the portal and exit out and we should enter back to moonrise tow AB to discuss our next St because we saved Dame alen and everything we are safe to travel out of here so that's some small boost compared to the previous route with Shard route where you have to exit out of moonrise Towers manually and yeah from here we're going to to cast feather fall and enhance sleep on our T and we're going to jump to the door which should trigger a cut scene with Dame aen and Isabelle so here we don't want these two to come to our party because they add a lot of required dialogue that we need to go through so what we do is we Mash out of this dialogue we say it's a little crowded for the camp and then we say you go our your way I'll go mine so we just leave them behind from here same thing as before we jump to walr grab the gold and that's just done by pressing three twice we get the gold and instead of jumping all the way out of moonrise Towers we're just going to jump uh fast travel to road to balers gate leave are many and then it just triggers this cut scene and then we'll just do it once more again from here we're all good to go so we can just jump to act three with the gift fight intermission and everything's pretty much the same in act three as before there are a couple small differences that are very important to note though so I will cover that really quick once we get through all of this cutscene here basically because you have Lael in your party you're going to need to do a lot of other stuff with her by having her jump off the edge in order to make sure she doesn't get in the way of some cutcenes and stuff in some areas so for instance once we enter into act three here we switch over to Lael and have her jump off this way and in other scenarios as well that you can see in my honor mode run also a small thing as well to take note of is when we do uh this Strat we don't have extra level two spell slots here so when you're doing the fireworks shopping it's going to be a lot more difficult to do without your spell slots so you have to be careful of what you use them for and you might need to do some other improvisations with it for instance uh getting fog cloud back or something by just switching out so you can use your level one spell slots as well and yeah everything from here on out is pretty much the same as my act 3 tutorial so if you haven't seen that yet make sure to check that out and that pretty much it that covers all of the new uh bear route I guess the glomba stomp route so that's it for this video uh hopefully you all enjoyed it and if you have any questions comments and stuff feel free to leave one down in the descript in the comments section below so yeah it's pretty Prett much it for me thanks for watching and yeah
