The Diplomatic Druid - Baldur's Gate 3 - Ep 180

what does that actually mean does it actually break concentration or although that would we we'd lose our haste which I don't want or just force a concentration check we're going to go this is somewhat annoying okay oh this not Misty step it's haste did I click heels I was thinking I was doing a haste breathe deep and move all right I was thinking I was doing a step I think that is what happened yeah all right eat a million magic missiles do a million concentration checks yay okay popil through interesting about this by taking him out of combat it can refresh his actions too um Shad heart's going to take a lot before she gets [Music] out um what the hell was that what what why is it star in here what was that animation what the hell was that I got this course youd survive with 2 Hp all right let's finish off yeah we're running into another bug all right we're going to take an attack opportunity that's fine oh which killed this Gan cuz they were in the splash area okay now luckily Ain goes pretty early next round although after this Watcher if he like goes down here because the game put him back in the room imper thank you for saving against the Dominate silence is fine we're just going to disengage and run out yeah disengage cck off I'm just going to F3 to go back back to a Stan you became immobilized no this is 100% BS okay um I wonder though if I Missy step over to the door if I might still be able to click it okay well all right I'm not the most pleased with how that went but I guess we made it through a welcome rest now storywise you immediately lock the door since you have the key yeah okay well so both times so the first attempt like I was totally willing to do the first attempt until it glitched shadowart through the floor and made it so that we couldn't reach the explody thing actually really thought the fighting was going quite well and quite fun this feels really weird and cheesy and we still got glitched one time with a stering taking the extra round of attacks because he like went through the door a second time which is a little bit frustrating and it doesn't make sense that the enemies aren't falling through unless they really paying attention to that note I guess the only person I mean they don't have the key and maybe they're worried about like throwing everything off I don't know why there's all these brain jars that's weird unless these are the brains that run the steel Watchers that kind of makes some sense don't waste a step oh who are you what's hiding here H thanks for subbing with prime to bendus oh yeah so there's a lot of people missing their heads as well oh these brains look too big vendas if this nose ever finds its way to you it means I'm dead but at least I died trying as the chief artificer on the Titan project are the Watchers Titan or is there a bigger one I know just what that horr can do and I'm determined to see it destroyed Xander tubin mentioned that if the proper code is entered into the neurosur IT triggers a fatal psionic feedback loop I don't know what the code is but I might be able to guess and if I die taking down the Titan that will be a good death I love you Lula might be able to guess any hints as to what it might be how to build a watcher how gorach hijacked the Gan autogard project to created steel Watchers remarkable and horrible and somebody ought to tell it might as well be me the original design for the autog guards outwardly resembled the eventual Watchers but an autog guard was designed to be poed by a small individual in a cockpit in the Torso when gash through some scheme involving fraud and blackmail took over the doc Foundry he scraped those plans and announced steel Watcher watch would be entirely remote controlled from a central Hub we had no idea that this remote control would involve both merculet necromancy and athid Sonic as finally worked out under duress by zaner tubin fitting out a steel Watcher requires the following steps a zombie is Decap zombie is decapitated its brain removed the brain is tadpole and put it a brain jar where it becomes part of the absolute hive mind the tadpole brain returns its sign of connection to the undead body the undead headless body is wired into the Torso of a steel Watcher whoa the absolute Elder brain said Sonic orders to a Jarred brain the Jarred brain passes on the order to Connected steel Watcher all this telepathic traffic is coordinated through the neuros in the central the control center but I hope to do something about that okay The Watcher this brain controls is offline for maintenance the brain dreams images of life in a garden Cottage in Spring let's see what this does your tadpole eagerly responds to the parasite in the brain jar you blink to find yourself standing at Worm's Crossing you are a steel a guardian of Boulder's Gate before you stands a group of humans kill him he said he was flaming fist that we had to empty our pockets if we wanted to enter the city we didn't know it was a scam we have nothing left and my kids are half starved please let us into the city we have nowhere else to go do I get choose something here oh wow step to one side let the family pass elied wisdom rest control from parasite allow the family to pass hey stupid parasite leave them alone attack the family um I kind of want to make sure that I don't burn my elith power a little too early here cuz I'm worried that we might need it on the central control or something so we're going to do a wisdom check to let the family in Jus I'm not I'm not going to use inspiration on this you are a mouse to an elephant so overwhelming is the parasites power you reach behind you but the family runs before you can draw your sword all right at least one towards Theisen Road and most likely their death wait oh there is room oh well that's not great yeah I don't think this's priority exactly uh we will check more of these aware that its Watcher is on duty in the control center vast and throbbing with athid telepathy it ignores your mind touch as a mere distraction I'm expecting a boss fight here and we are low on resources which isn't ideal but with a jerk your mind is transported you look down your body of pure steel and power weing a dwarf cowers before you please Mr steel Watcher sir uh far got not this far my mom's life just let me go I mean we'll we'll try again with just the wisdom not using any resources God hard we still have guidance running nope you struggle against the parasite but can only watch as you raise a mighty leg what what are you doing no please you stomp on the dwarf bones and intestines splashing on you I mean that presumably that would happened if we had never the brain in is controlling a watcher on Sentry duty at Worm's rock it patrols back and forth vigilant for trouble a parasite stirs within the pickled brain twitching pickled brain delicious you feel yourself a CER powerful metal you are a steel Watcher charging through the streets in pursuit of a young girl she is screaming the parasite is too strong and you can only watch as the little girl rounds a corner to find a dead end she cries for her mother as you draw your Lance raising it above your head you are kicked from the infected brain as the Lance that's probably good down ah well let's let's go try to put an end to all this I don't need any attention right now light on my feet rest of the party why don't you guys stay here should I resummon my Elemental no I'm going to keep the spell slot for uh haste fight of three Hellfire Watchers that we know of I don't see a way around it there more oh hang on they're brain chars over here with hit points what a cha long and low I mean these don't control anything in the [ __ ] only had to realized we could have stopped some of this from happening I didn't notice they had hit points the element of surprise I mean we're not saving these people who have been brain Jarred it's too late for them don't burn yourself Soldier come back over here and reible me well let's see here be very very quiet stepping softly one of the brain drivers did but they said they were where their Watcher was in the control center nice and [Music] easy CU yet none of these have gone down mutilate them oh what the fudge where did you come from I need to concentrate well we're doing this I'm still wondering if maybe I should pop these brain jars I have no idea there's a lot of them there's a control panel over here okay we got an ad going on we're going to we're going to not do this fight while the ad break is happening we're not going to do the fight we're not going to have anyone miss anything fact I'm wondering if I should go yeah I'm going to go stretch P come back for whatever this is that's a lot of hit points on this thing vulnerable to lightning but we're not really set up for that budge are those barrels no I don't know if I can interact with this I can't move the camera up I guess this thing must have just risen up out of the floor while I wasn't looking this doesn't feel like barrels that I can do anything with I can't see a switch that I can lower this and crush anything either yeah we have no spell slots that's okay we have we have three Marshall Fighters and Dell does have shape shifts so you know we'll be fine probably anyway I'll be right back shield for legs huh jeez jeez everyone get up and stretch [Music] hydrate for hoky doie h how are we going to deal with this fight man so you get your legendary resistance to things that have multiple targets you are still vulnerable to lightning you are absolutely resistant to piercing you're for slashing and bludgeoning you're only resistant if um if they're non-magical multi- attack any prone MIM to restrain creatures that seems bad cuz I think these guys' um attacks do this you still have the explode oh yeah if it dies it instantly detonates y now we have a lot of these brain jars there's no guarantee that any of these brain jars have anything to do with anything in the room so I'm worried that like spending efforts trying to attack that would be would be pointless I'd love to thanks carlac since you're not in weapon what does this do this does do slashing which is great cuz that's what we're going to want um my theory here I don't know if we have a save from entering this room let me do a quick save now my theory here is probably to take care of these Hellfire Watchers first and then focus on the big dude don't people keep saying that giant hanging barrels they're not I mean they're there but I can't I can't seem to interact with these in any way whatsoever they're not targetable they don't look like regular barrels I not sure they're barrels at all they might be like pipe sections or gen ators I mean maybe but I can't Target them I can't move my mouse my camera any higher to drop on it and I don't see a lever anywhere nothing's highlighting with alt there's nothing like behind me is there yeah see it's it's just sort of this assembly I can't see anything oh cerebral fluid valve that's interesting there one over here I mean presumably this is the mother box that's controlling everything and there's neural switchboard I wonder if there's any way to just run up there and do that another fight let's go so presumably if I want to haste carlac which I think is what I want to do um it's going to bring her into the fight so I should bring her as close as possible here quiet I think as soon as I cast she's going to get she's going to get pulled in come on can't stay idle oh it didn't actually want to dance okay that's good the mission has to come first Shadow heart is currently maintaining this which I think is fine annoyingly I'm not going to be able to like reach anything because these Vision cones I mean she does have a misty step available but that's not going to do anything oh for [ __ ] sake the haste timer hang on I made a quick save so stupid I guess I may as well just send carlac in right away um so as much as I want to take out the side um steel Watchers first carlac might just have to run in and hit the big guy immediately That's All She can reach well with Hast she might have a little bit more distance I'm nothing at the very least I can step forward get into combat and at least that'll pause the Hast timer or just turn base mode whichever another fight try this again let's go just go turn base mode get back I'm ready need to press onward wonder if we focus on one of the sides yeah there's no area where we can reach with a shadow or with a misty Step at all uh hold on I can do this and preserve the stealth which means she might be able to get at this Hellfire Watcher what's nice about being spread out as as well as these guys have their cleave that like does the big immobilize and all that stuff now it's going to seem odd but remember Shadow heart and carlac aren't currently in combat so shadowart is still she can do an end turn and she still won't be in combat so sure actions will refresh for the next turn which is going to be okay damn it's good to be alive now I probably just want to run in with SH with although hold on what if I do exactly the same thing with carlac did she have to like step forward ever so slightly to reach that Misty step all right well that's annoying anyway she's in combat so I guess that's something okay currently Shadow heart is not in turn base mode which is fine I don't want to cast a concentration spell I'm going to S Save Our Spell slots probably for crits here all right let's go oh wait could sneak around and turn that valve whatever that might be we haven't used the console either hang on since we did sneak over heritor awaits your input but we don't know what it is drop the bomb about a 20 is 25 maybe 20% chance of getting this damn it that minus one intelligence and she can't guidance herself sense of this complex machine Let's just press a random button oh what if it just sets off all the bombs though that's not great okay I hope we're still stealthed oh yeah and verbal spell casting probably does set things off oh that blows up all the brains did it blow them all up on this side no but there's no valve on this side that's the one we killed manually it still hasn't turned off any of these Watchers so I don't know what the advantage of that is well if carlac hadn't randomly I'm assuming she walked in right over here before Shadow stepping if she hadn't I could have caught her to come over here and do a try I mean she doesn't have the end either now do I want both of them to focus on one I mean we do have to focus one to kill I think Shadow heart is going to enter combat by attacking here this might I might end up going through a couple of saves for trying again we'll see cone on the left disappear no it just wasn't visible for a second for some reason we've seen these glitches before where Vision cones like appear and disappear for no real everyone World [ __ ] initiative except for Dell who I think drank an um an alertness oh he's got Arcane cultivation never mind actually shadow heart's got the vigilance and she still rolled [ __ ] for initiative wow where these guys just have really good init so my action has been spent because I hasted I don't understand the spider do you just throw it I guess you throw hang on send to carlac she could theoretically use it as a bonus action at some point uh so Dell yeah just come back then so that you don't lose concentration we'll like literally just put you as far back as possible catch a break you've got nothing really to do on your turn thank you for missing please continue to miss all right um well we can get ourselves a high ground here this will do nicely it's now I'm not convinced that blind maybe I can blind you it seems like it might be possible we're also going to dump some arrows of lightning since that is their weakness [Music] save oh hold on I've got action search yeah let see attempt to front load oh I should have lightning some more lightning than every shot here all right well that not do anywhere near as much damage as one would have hoped oh you're right I have to remember the cursed lightning oh broke our concentration immediately that's rude not in my watch oh we used a reaction uh yes let's use a level one Shield spell we really don't want to lose concentration on our blast or [Music] haste I'm really happy you guys are starting with so many misses given how much BS we've had to deal with throughout all this um I think I think we're going to focus on trying to take out this one I'm not convinced the butterflies are that helpful but they're pretty so therefore we must butterfly [Music] um yeah I want to brace rest of the turn roll twice use the highest damage like having Savage attacker basically impossible to trip although this still does bonus damage so Jimmy on the go oh wait why did you attack of opportunity me I didn't leave your radius I mean I must have interesting little corner thing I wonder if that little pink led to too much distance from the middle and that counted need to stay focused huh well looks like this guy doesn't have a reaction for some reason should we just focus on the big dude I don't know feels like plan take out the odds is the way to go we're a little spread out now and we took out one a staring could help out I mean maybe carlac just keeps wailing on the Titan while Shadow heart and then aerin comes around here and helps out big enemies tend to have wonky things may have noticed with the water mtil I don't know what you're talking about the water elenil is perfect and never any problems whatsoever um yeah we're going to save our spell slots still for if we crit oh that was it I guess we'd already taken some actions this round huh we could have done some numb stuff uh I mean I might decide to use my bonus action something else next round I should have numed first but I'm going to go ahead and do it now I need to save anyway all right Dell well at risk of breaking our concentration I think Dell's still going to enter combat here by shape shifting into an Al bear they don't want to use any concentration spells because I want to keep up the haste on carlac we' basically be doing nothing with our can trips and stuff like that on the bright side if I don't go to Al bear form I can keep casting Shield which is pretty cool yeah I can't do any of those oh you're right my claws don't count as magic because I'm not a circle of the Moon Druid so it really wouldn't do much oh I can reconjure us let me do that if nothing else he'll soak some extra attacks yeah that's fine let me start by doing that did you Kaboom against the boss oh I hadn't I hadn't actually banked on them hitting each other oh that's quite helpful am I going to have line of sight over here I really wish it gave us a line of sight preview I'm going to assume I have line of sight on this guy and if I don't hopefully I still on this one hang on I'm going to quick save because in case we get in a situation where we literally have line of sight over no one that's going to frustrate me and I'm going to run a reload on the way use Scrolls oh that's a crazy idea and it might just work that's a good point let's dump some consumables hang on is that going to be within my normal range no oh yes and soul coin good good idea too uh if I have them on me I think I do so I could decide to just start applying damage to the steel Watcher the problem is it does always have resistance against piercing um although I guess these guys probably to too right yeah they always have resistance against piercing you know what f it burn all our lightning arrows fire exhaust okay um e attack opportunity that doesn't do much but you attack of opportunity no us I stand I'm standing in Hellfire okay I think for the bonus action I mean she's got heals and stuff like that but well actually we can do a big lay on hands and ourself oh but that's an action which I don't want to do yeah I'm just going to go ahead and eat our biggest healing potion that we've got uh Superior healing is going to be it yeah yeah oh we do have Supreme healing you know what let's use that there you go good that's interesting we could go and join the party over here what we could do is move over here bring this Hellfire Watcher in there and then once it's within range go back to plan killing it so its explosions hurt the boss that's a full action to cast I don't want to do that and I don't have a bonus action right now my Warden vitalities are really good um I think I'm going to go ahead with that plan although oh yeah I forgot her spear is piercing which isn't great but feel my mistress's Ross they're already vulnerable to lightning damage I don't think a water bottle would make them any more vulnerable I might be wrong about that good all right um I didn't send all my soul coins to Camp right no there we go so carlac what happens when you eat a soul coin we're finally going to find out I've never used one infernal Fury the hatred and pain of a captured Soul fuels carac infernal machine her weapons and unarmed attacks deal additional 1 to four damage when she is Raging or when her hit points drop below 25% that's it I mean they do give it to you early so it sort of makes sense they're not god tier but I almost thought like an extra attack or something but sure let's do it yeah we'll drop some reckless attacks on here open for some crits I mean we are chunking away tons of damage on this dude defense protocol bull workk you have 75 temp HP fire missiles so you knocked her down which means she's not going to get to take freaking action and you're being targeted by some sort of missiles which shadart is also in the radius for okay I wonder if we have a lightning bolt I'm not sure that we could safely cast lightning bolt no we don't have lightning bolt Scrolls wall off some things some walls of stone or wall of fire I could put a little wall of fire right where the boss is is he doesn't seem to be moving much I don't hate that plan a wall Fire's concentration thank you [ __ ] fifth edition man I think they're immune to acid weirdly no they're immune to poison not that I'm sure um acid arrow is the way to go dagers is concentration as well this does reduce AC yeah that's true oh maybe we'll drop some acid arrows uh where did that other dude go he just positioned over there I'm not entirely sure I got my fly I got to remember gives me huge Mobility well unless I go into just Al bear form they can move up here transform to Al bear and then do a pounce on someone I'm not sure that's a winning move well acid him I mean may as well turn into a crit that's just eating way his temp HP but yeah it does lower his um his AC which is valuable I still need to keep some distance so I think I'll bonus action fly I'm ready I'm going to keep playing here we've already got why isn't he um why isn't he Hunters marked did he Purge him off himself when he did his bull work no oh Ain was hit for damage here stop concentrating on Hunter Mark oh okay I think I'm going to go with plan keep hitting this guy I'm sorry you also have unyielding construct [Music] is that always there or is that just because of his uh his mode now I'm wondering if he doesn't attack the same in this mode okay I know I don't have Hunter's Mark on this guy but yeah I mean that did nothing Ying was definitely had to drink [ __ ] protocol yeah oh that is a lot of damage on carlac okay it looks like this guy doesn't have a tax opportunity right now so at least there's that clearly I want to get out of the radius I mean we could miss the step over here but that seems like a poor use of our time you're currently not concentrating should probably just drop a moon beam on this guy's head Maybe if he doesn't seem to move around a bunch we could just leave the moon beam on top of his head and then I can just have her walk out over here I mean he's not very vulnerable right now because of his stupid uh bullwark mode anyway but it'll sit there on the other hand we have taken a lot of damage but I can just bonus action for a potion I think I might do that CU once he drops bwar mode in theory he'll take consistent amount of damage or I just Shield the faith myself although annoyingly that does eat my bonus action which I would probably prefer to drink a heal since I'm moving out of here I mean I can move over and attack this guy I'd like to hit this one I might be able to do it with the jump but that would need my bonus action which would be no good I don't know if the plant growth is going to do much for us in this particular situation I know now I have level one slots so how does that affect us not having level one slots I can still Smite I can still upcast my spell I'm talking about moon beam is just an item one um I guess yeah higher level protect doesn't do much so I suppose The Shield of faith is a level three slot probably seems a little bit more wasteful I think I'm going to go plan I'm going to prep a moon beam on this guy which probably won't do much unless it gets a really good Roll But it sticks around and then I'm going to drink a healing potion for my bonus so we're going to go with yeah the superior healing and then I'm just going to I'm going to pull over here I'm a little bit worried that carlac just going to eat way too much damage here so I'm just going to pin this guy down ready for another round well carlac probably shouldn't sit here and try to tank this actually I'm surprised hold on what why does she still get her full action she was prone doesn't that usually cost you your action to get up in bg3 I was expecting her to have maybe only one because of the haste but she's got both also we're apparently not frenzied cost you half moving oh really okay well clearly we should frenzy first of all Half Life noral 5 prone LW action was lamp light or Le maybe I mean I can't reach destination I can reach here you're going to tell me that's not close enough any path is interrupted game moving okay we're fine last rates none of those make any sense for this I don't think can't bleed you even hit yourself but you're in bwar mode so it doesn't matter you're still in bulwark Dell's still concentrating on this um when does this explosion happen is it on his action in which case we don't want to bring him down with Dell cuz then he'll explode on his action hurting both shadowart and carlac so I think what we do is we alar form and we go for this guy I mean I could have used more Scrolls as well but this seems to be fine and yeah we know that doesn't do friendly fire which is a nice surprise very unexpected we know they can't be knocked prone unfortunately but it still taking damage let's have some fun um and apparently I'm not drawing an hack of opportunity with moving back with a Starion here I'm not sure why what ate your reaction if we keep seeing this quickly yeah I read about um lamp lighters League not doing uh not doing well I think I think what are you going to do when you're in still in the period of bg3 and Starfield it's problem cuz I actually think it's quite a good game um we we streamed it I meanly again those were we did sponsored YouTube videos sponsored streams I really dug it I thought it was great turn-based sort of XCOM style combat in a sort of Indiana Jones fil Noir kind of you know archaeology kind of vibe I thought it was all really good I'm not going to use lightning here cuz it'll probably Splash damage and hurt Dell and I know that I've got my um my hunter mark on this guy but he's still got his um um armor mode so yeah we're just going to damage this guy yeah I think it was just like lost in all the other gaming hype that's H happening simultaneously which is I I think it's a very good game on the bright side it'll probably mean it'll come on a deep sale at some point actually I think it's available on the Xbox game pass too if you're doing that kind of thing um Starion does have second wind available um it's too bad we couldn't quite get out of vision to be able to set up a stealth for the next round I suppose I could have if maybe I'd moved here instead but I hadn't been thinking about that as a possibility that's okay we'll just second win him what do you think has a better gameplay Plus interace bg3 or Pathfinder King maker and the second one um I mean it's hard to argue with bg3 although there's still some things I complain about there plenty of things in Pathfinder are complain about okay we made our concentration Shing throw I was going to say the ideal would be to him go into detonating mode now from the um uh from the opportunity attack also gives us a really interesting measure of wi this trick cuz we didn't actually hit him for that much I don't know where his break point is it's conceivable it's below 100 but below 90 so the true hit points on this is a little bit different which is on Game Pass for PC it's not on is it only game pass for Xbox H this guy's still annoyingly bulwark but at the same
