Baldur's Gate 3 - Silver Sword of The Astral Plane | Less than 1 Hour into Act 1 | Easy/Fast Guide

hey everyone welcome back to playing quietly my name is Ryan and today I'm bringing you another Baldur's Gate 3 guide today we're going to be talking about how to get the strongest possible start for any githyanki character in Act 1. of course I'm talking about going after the silver sword of the astral planes but I'm going to be showing you how to get it in the fastest and most efficient way possible so that we can start being overpowered super quickly in the game so before we dive in let's go over a checklist of some of the things we're going to need we're going to need to be at least level three so that Gail has access to the invisibility spell next we're gonna need a character who has access to command this is lucky for us because Shadow heart is gonna have that right out the box next we're gonna need an invisibility potion that we are going to get from anti-ethyl in the Evergreen Grove and the last thing isn't something that is needed but some something that I highly recommend is getting the gloves of missile snaring this is going to help us in the fight with voss's guards so that we don't take as much damage alright so let's jump into things now alright so first thing first once we are aboard the ship we are just gonna go through as normal and clear things out until we get to Shadow heart all right guys so now that we have Shadow heart in our party what we want to do is open up her spell book and do a little bit of rearranging what we're absolutely going to need is command so now that we've swapped in command we can continue on as normal I recommend clearing out these guys just so we can get that extra bit of experience and of course we are also going to want to loot all the stuff that we can alright so now that we have reached Commander zalk what we're going to do with Shadow heart is we're going to practice the method that we're going to be using but first we want to make a save just in case we fail here so now we are gonna make now we're gonna make Shadow heart cast command drop weapon on Commander zalk so you see there he got his saving throw so all we're gonna do is reload the previous save and try it again and we see that time we got him to drop the weapon so now we're simply going to have Shadow Heart come over here and pick up the weapon and we're gonna equip it sorry on lysel we're gonna have liezel equip it and we're gonna finish it out from here alright so now that we're on the beach we are just gonna go pick up Shadow heart right quick and do a little bit of looting along the way once we get Shadow heart we're just gonna move our way up the beach and again do a little bit of looting we just want to make sure that we have enough gold to buy that potion and the pair of gloves all right so next things next we're gonna sneak up here and take out the enemies in this room oh dear all right that didn't go exactly according to plan but no worries so if we take a look at our gold now we already have enough to buy the potions so we are in good shape oh I forgot the deadbind player up here mind players are usually worth looting they usually have something decent on them and there you go next thing we are going to come on over here loot these boxes we're gonna break this box open there's no reason to waste our lock pick on it and we're gonna come up here and find our buddy asterion all right so now that we have a steering we're going to come over here and get some real easy XP by Smashing this mind flayer's head and then we're going to come up north here and we're gonna find Gail behind anyone foreign all right so now that we have four party members and we could reasonably all right so now that we have a core member of four here I would recommend going ahead and leveling up all right so after we've finished leveling up we are gonna go and get Liesel out of her trap the things dangerous watch out and after we have killed the tieflings we're just gonna shoot the bottom of lizelle's trap out all right so with the teethlings down at this point I would recommend doing a short rest just to heal yourself up and we're going to start making our way to the Evergreen Grove now when we get to the Grove we are going to initiate the Goblin fight all right so now that we have the Goblins down don't forget to loot everybody and we will make our way to one more encounter before we go to the vendors so we're gonna have an obligatory conversation over here you let them straight to us and you let them take the Druid too deep right the human's eye twitches he's about to blow you're right worried about inner Elite all right so let's quickly head up here and we're gonna help this tiefling out I'm getting attacked by the bug bear just for a little bit of extra XP and we'll talk to her real quick just so we can get her soul coin now let's go down to the first vendor and we're gonna sell all of our junk and we're gonna pick up some gloves from him and before we do that I really do recommend going ahead and sorting your stuff by type well is there anything you need act fast if you just some bits and Bobs I no longer need all right so basically all this stuff we can just sell for a little bit of extra gold and let me just check on that armor oh yeah we don't need that all right so we'll go ahead and barter that and the gloves we want to buy here are the gloves of missile snaring and we're gonna have plenty of extra gold so we're gonna buy that and just in case we want it later we'll go ahead and buy the Ring of flinging although that has absolutely nothing to do with what we are doing now next we're gonna ignore everything in here for now and we are gonna go talk to anti-ethyl down here and we're gonna go with I'm just here for trade and we want to buy the invisibility potion from her all right next we are gonna go through the stone door here and up the ladder over here laughs goblins nose once we are outside we want to go on over here and we're going to jump over to this pathway over here sir you mean just wait now what I recommend doing is jumping down over here so we are going to disband the party jump down over here we're going to take a little bit of damage but that's okay because we're going to use a rest oh Shadow heart you got stuck back here what happened I must keep going I can't afford to stay idle oh heck oh no we're okay and finally we'll get Gail down here now there may be a better way to get now there may be a better way to get to this area I am not sure this is just the way I always do it if there's a better way let me know in the comments down below but that's the way I always do this so we did take a little bit of damage so let's go ahead and rest up and we're gonna go kill the twin or the siblings over here all right and that has us to level three so now that we're level three let's go ahead and level up Gail so that he gives us invisibility so here there are two skills I really like to take shatter is very good and we are going to need invisibility all right so now that we've done that we're gonna go down here by the river down down down down by the river go across and up this craggy Rock now if you have a soul this next part is required we're going to get the good boy scratch because we don't leave good boys behind all right so now that scratch is going to be waiting for us we're gonna go over here to this River and hop over onto this rock and then over to the shore now this next part is not required but it will get you off to a really good start we're going to go over here to this hidden skeleton under these bushes and we're gonna get the Smugglers ring this is a fantastic item for someone like sterion so we're going to go ahead and give that to him and we're also going to give him these gloves and our skill monkey is well on his way to doing his job and next we're gonna come on over here and we're gonna get carlak assuming everyone is able to follow me come on guys you can do it maybe you can't it's all right we'll coax them along sometimes I need a little bit of convincing and don't forget to pick up the total collector's key over here foreign so now karlak is going to meet us back at the camp and we are gonna come on up here we're gonna walk up there we're gonna climb up the ladder and we're actually going to go past this place so we are gonna actually let's make sure that we get the portal over here we go and we're gonna come on up here all right we had a little bit of an oopsie there all right we had a little bit of an oopsie there so be very careful I would actually recommend just coming down this way so that we avoid the fight going on over here we're gonna come on down here and we're gonna start some mess with these guys so they are all nice and grouped up for us that is great and we are gonna throw down some shatter with Gail oh wow that Miss interesting alrighty not to worry oh no we're good we're good we're in good shape all right that is one of the more difficult fights on this route but now we are essentially home free and we can get to the bridge that we are trying to get to the way so we are going to come on up this way [Music] and on down here and we want to make sure that we don't trigger anything in that town as we are going to come back there very soon all right so this is a good place to go through a checklist of sorts I already see that we've missed something but we want again we're gonna make sure that Gail has invisibility on his bars we're gonna make sure Shadow heart has command on her bar and we are also going to make sure that we give shadow heart potion of invisibility and we are also going to give shadow heart the gloves of missile snaring we're gonna go over to shadowheart and equip those gloves and then we are going to come on down here we're going to make a save just in case always save and we're gonna come on down here we're going to trigger that cut scene skip on through now here we are going to separate our party so we are going to toggle off group mode we're going to highlight Gail and we are going to now go into turn base mode from here we are going to cast invisibility onto Shadow heart and now we're going to use Shadow heart and only Shadow heart to creep on up behind VOS and one more ought to do it for us after this all right so now what we're gonna do here is sneak up behind kithrack boss now before we do anything else what we're gonna do is make a quick save so here we are simply going to try and cast command drop weapon on Commander Vos or kithrack boss and if he drops the weapon that is great but more than likely because this is only a nine percent chance to drop the weapon it might not work so let's give it a shot we'll see what happens so we didn't get it so we're simply just going to load our previous save and from here this is just going to be a process of rinse and repeat I've had it happen nearly right away and sometimes it's taken me quite a number of tries all right so we got the weapon to drop and I don't like I said I don't think there's a way to get through this dialogue where it doesn't end in a fight but we'll give it a shot we got some bonuses to slide a hands let's see what we get here now it is going to show your full party on screen here as being in the is being in combat but it is not going to be the case I never can roll a 10 on this one that's okay all right so when combat initiates here we're gonna have some very oh this is not a good combat but you see we get our missile snaring here we didn't get it not looking good so far this this might be a wipe yep so unfortunately we did die there but that is not the end of the world we are simply going to re-roll the save or we're simply going to re-roll the save reload the save there we go I know how to talk that's not a good one come on give me like a night oh all right critical success I'll take that unlikely you'd be successful all right well this has never happened let's see what we get here oh all right well they're still gonna attack oh no okay all right so that is apparently the optimal way to do it but all right so that's the optimal way to do it I was prepared to show you guys how to go through with combat so in the event that the combat happens what you are going to do is you're first going to try and survive once you survive the initial Onslaught you're going to pick up the sword you're gonna hit your potion of invincibility and you are going to then Dash back to your party members back here uh I do have uh I I have a I'm gonna insert another clip that I have from a different playthrough uh just so you guys can see what you're going to be doing during combat foreign foreign very well [Music] when I go all right so now that we are back what we're going to do now we're going to get our party back together we're going to send the sword back to our main character we're gonna go to camp and we are going to tell styrion he's sitting out and we're gonna bring lizelle in and give her her new toy send that on over to lizelle and equip it all right so there is actually a dialogue scene that I'm gonna put in another video on the channel just so I don't spoil anything for you guys in case you do want to see it it is pretty fun um but that's all I have for you guys for today hopefully this guide helped you out a little bit if it did or you found it helpful or entertaining hopefully I've earned your subscription but until then we will see you guys next time have yourselves a good one
