Worlds First REAL Baldur's Gate 3 Speedrun.

some of you didn't like my previous video if you aren't aware I made a history of Baldur's Gate 3 is 80 speed run that documents exactly how Runners were able to completely break the game with glitches like shoving Shadow heart in a box and then flinging her across the map which is pretty cool and if you're interested you should check that out over here or something probably but the comments of this video are littered with people going well actually and then proceeding to not understand what an 80 Speed Run of a game is one absolutely insane individual who I'm not going to name here because I don't want you to go give him views when as far as to call us the literal devil speed runs are the devil did you think I was kidding now aside from the fact that this dude looks exactly how you would embody the well actually picture I showed you earlier he obviously does not understand the amount of effort that everybody in the community put in to make this feeder on a thing but apparently if we don't play the game exactly as he wants us to without exploiting any bugs and playing it all the way through every single Prime we are the actual Antichrist which I mean I've I've been called the Antichrist for Less so but instead of dissecting every point of his video and repeatedly defining any percent to a bunch of strangers on the internet who got mad about speed running on a Speed Run YouTube channel I caved you win the first real Baldur's Gate speedrun all acts no glitches no fun safe scum Galore as the developers intended thank you good day sir first let's cover the goal of the run just so you have some context for what's actually happening narratively Baldur's Gate 3's story is about dealing with the threat of the absolute a powerful mind player God called the nether brain that has been infecting the inhabitants of the sword Coast with tadpole parasites which allow the host to be psychically controlled and linked to each other the real threat isn't another breed itself though as it's actually being controlled by a group of gods called the dead three this group consists of ball the Lord of murder Bane the Lord of Darkness and Merkel the Lord of Bones each of the Gods possess a champion that carries out their will for them Oren gortash and katharak respectively all of which wield the netherstone one-third of a larger device which allows them to influence another brain and by extension controlled tadpole parasites our goal will be to kill them all in Collective stones for ourselves so that we can destroy the nether brain and eliminate the threat of the absolute the first of the three we'll be dealing with are ketric and his God Merkel this fight will be the biggest hurdle of the run as after we complete it we gain access to some pretty overpowered stuff so most of the strategy will hinge around the time leading up to this encounter as for our character we'll be choosing the darker Georgian story as it'll let us skip some late game Quests for just a few extra cutscenes throughout the run and we'll be playing a drow wizard which will let us access enhanced sleep feather fall and longstrider right at the start of the game which are objectively the fastest methods of movement one really important philosophy you'll see me hold throughout this video is I'll avoid combat at any cost waiting for enemies to move is just too time consuming and we don't really want to do it unless we're killing a major boss with that being said we can't exactly get very much experience to level up without killing anything so we're gonna have to turn towards alternate methods of dealing damage where applicable luckily larian Studios has provided a secret 13th class in Baldur Skate 3 Barrel mancy by taking a bunch of flammable barrels and explosives and setting them up in a room next to whoever you want to kill you can absolutely trivialize certain Encounters of the game through some quick thinking there are a limited number of barrels in the early game though mainly being found in the goblin camp in the center room Hideout there's also some additional stuff we're gonna need to get out of the way towards the goblin camp and us being a drag gives us free passage into the area so we'll loot the barrels from there and just hope we have enough because we're severely under leveled for almost every fight we'll be doing we need to make the most of each turn and spell slot that we can one thing we can do to help this process is by stealing the Amulet of Misty step which just happens to be right next to the barrels in the goblin camp this will let us teleport anywhere we can see once for a long rest without the use of the spell slot from here we can recruit Shadow heart and lizelle and make our way towards the end of act one where we'll start preparing for the fight against kathryk the next area of the game is covered in the shadow curse which won't let us pass through without a light source we can circumvent this by gaining a pixie's blessing though so that'll be our first goal before we head to the cult of the absolute luckily if we pass a dialogue check with an ambush party along the road we can talk to the group's leader carnus who Wheels a lantern with a pixie dropped inside we can use shadowheart's ability command to have him drop the lantern so we can take it for ourselves although this isn't guaranteed we can safes come until we get the drop from here we'll be b-lining it straight to moonrise Towers catherick's home we can't fight cathar ghetto as he holds in vulnerability status as a result of trapping and binding his soul to the immortal deity Night song so we're gonna have to go free her which means she'll help us in the fight and we're going to need any assistance we can get her location is under cathric's family mausoleum in The Gauntlet of char a religious Temple for the goddess of char in order to unlock the door tonight songs prison we need to pass Char's trials and collect four umbral gems the first requires us to evade some shades through maze which we can use invisibility to get past with no issue the second requires us to kill a mimic of ourselves which can be done with some good old Barrel mancy the third requires us to travel across an invisible Bridge maze which is pretty easy once you do it once or twice and the final trial requires us to get past an ambush encounter against some pretty high level enemies luckily we can use that Missy step amulet we grabbed earlier to teleport to the back of the room and pick up the gym and move it out of the sight line of the enemies bypassing the encounter completely from here we can go free Night song but we'll have to defeat Kendrick's holler at Balthazar first normally this boss would be pretty hard but we can just fog Cloud strategically which will cause him to run to the edge of the map where we can push him off and skip the boss fight entirely okay so now we're ready to fight kathryk we take a long rest and have Lazelle grab all the barrels from the camp before heading the moonrise Tower and talking ninja Hera who fights on the side of Night song and offers a join our party jihara's assistance is huge she's already level eight which means she can deal some pretty good damage for the later parts of the run the only downside to recruiting her is we can't just skip through the combat encounter straight to Catherine because if she fights alone she'll die and we can't add her to her party this can be circumvented by never entering the fight trigger though so we'll use enhanced sleep to scale up the side of the tower before using our Misty step amulet to teleport onto the rooftop starting the Catholic fight without ever beginning Jay Hero's fight downstairs this is where the Run starts to get a little annoying though Catholic will actually kill himself in phase two if you manage to pass three not 20 checks throughout his dialogue so we're gonna save scum each of the dialogue checks until we complete them on most attempts this takes around 30 minutes of real time reloading the save over and over but luckily speedruns operate on in-game time so those 30 minutes actually come out to be one to two minutes on our timer you'll notice that I keep the real time below the game time just to show the absurdity of a run like this and why we wouldn't do this in an actual speedrun format once we pass the dialogue checks we'll drop a few barrels and blow them up ending the first phase of Catherine's fight we are not in the woods yet though there's still a lot of enemies in this encounter and we can't proceed well in combat so we're gonna have to lose them luckily there's a scroll of Misty step from The Gauntlet of char which will let us use a second Missy step for this long rest and get far enough away to survive a single turn once the enemies turns are over we can then cast invisibility and go through the door leading to moonrise Tower effectively fleeing the encounter we can then run back through and jump down to the illicit Lair where we can go fight Merkel Catherine Scott after taking another long rest we can go invisible and set up the rest of the barrels next to merkel's spawn point from here we get Catherine to kill himself and we use our Misty stop amulet to free Night song ending Miracles and vulnerability now for the fun part blowing up the barrels you would think this amount of explosives would kill every time but even with this much Firepower I still had to save scum a few times to get Merkel to feel the deck saving throws so he would die but with the first of the three Champions dead and his netherstone collected we can exit act two and make our way to the end game our next Target will be cortash before we can fight him though we learned that our Guardian is actually a mind player called the Emperor who has a powerful githyanki Orpheus locked in the astral plane and he needs our assistance in guarding him against some of orpheus's buddies this fight is hard and we don't have any more explosives but luckily there's lots of chasms to throw enemies into in the fight so we'll respect to Hera into a fighter so she can pick up the Gaz Yankee and throw them off the map from here we'll head to gortash's Castle which requires another nap 20 to enter these slow times are really starting to add up once we're inside we'll head to gortash's coronation ceremony we can use invisibility to sneak past before pushing a patrol guard off the edge of the castle behind the throne room from here we'll be cortash out with minor illusion and also push him off the edge with two nether Stones collected we're getting pretty close to the end of the game so before we head over to Oren and kill her we're gonna collect some more explosives to kill the nether brain with luckily in the lower City there's a fireworks shop which we can rob blind on the way to Oren getting enough explosives to deal more than enough damage or inspired is actually pretty simple as well we'll have to hear our run-up tour while invisible and then throw her towards the edge of the map we can't actually throw her off as the game has given her plot armor and you always fail to throw but we can still use Thunder Wave to knock her off the edge we then have Jahira jump off the side of the map effectively ending the encounter from here our main character will come in while invisible and pick up the netherstone which spawns at the edge of the chasm all we have to do is survive one more turn so we can cast invisibility again and then we're out of the fight as easy as that now that all three nether stones are in her possession we can head athamorphic pulled in front of another brain this doesn't work though as we aren't yet powerful enough to possess the power of all three nether Stones luckily we can head back to the emperor and have him turn us into a mind player ourselves which will let us use the nether stones and give us the ability to levitate making traveling much easier from here we'll attack the emperor to get him to leave our party and kill our last remaining companion Lazelle she's just going to get in her way in the final fight we can finally levitate over to another brand using invisibility to skip all the combat along the way before dropping all of our fireworks and blowing them up next to the boss completely destroying my graphics card and ending the run in 2 hours 16 minutes and 16 seconds of game time and 2 hours 45 minutes and 33 seconds of real time that is 30 minutes of load screens honestly this was a pretty bad time we could probably lower this to around an hour and 20 minutes if we really tried but with a run this long in this random and the amount of bugs that can soft lock your game hours into it I'm probably done pushing the time down for this category the current world record holder of any percent isn't though after I posted this run tail came to me with tons of ideas on how to lower the time and they'll be doing attempts to push the category down soon so keep your eyes on the leaderboards for that if you're interested in joining a cult led by a talking pigeon check out my Discord or my twitch below where I stream the process of making all my videos live I hope you learned a thing or two I'll see you next time
