I Killed Every NPC in Baldur's Gate 3 (Act 1) 

Remember you can use Gale at the end to nuke your party so there's legitimately nobody left

"I might be a murderer but Owning slaves is where I draw the line" Atleast he has his convictions.

“No one was particularly pleased” *Astarion Approves*

Killing Volo before act 3 means you won't spawn all those NPCs that tie him to the exploding barrels

Your crime against Scratch will never be forgotten Dumpy. What will you say when god confronts you about what you did.

In act 3 make sure to pick up that body that has a necrotic aura in cazador’s mansion then run through the streets of the gate

"Rafael is a demon" I can already hear dnd fans explaining the difference between demons and devils.

I like how Halsin still wants to join you for saving the grove after you literally slaughtered all of the people there yourself

The kid down on the beach dies if you don’t do anything. You can find his body if you go there after resolving (one way or another) the grove. Not sure about the other kids though.

According to D&D Beyond, a group of goblins is called "A Gob."

You forgot to kill the 3 shadow druids which only appear if you reveal Kagha's past

There is indeed a unique character for Karlach! There's a date scene with her, and if you kill the barman before the date, his brother spawns in his place.

When you plan to kill a merchant but still want their things, give them a pouch or a backpack, open the pouch/backpack, drag all the items you want in it and then when you kill the merchant, they will have the pouch/backpack on their body

Quick note; you can remove the bloodless penalty with lesser restoration. A level 2 cleric spell. Second quick note: there's an amulet for free 1/day lesser restoration under a rock in the grove, down at the beach where the bear you murdered is. Basically, giving Astarion the happy buff by letting him bite you every day (or someone else) is entirely free.

you are the person I was warned about when hosting D&D Games

Fun fact, you CAN kill Withers with ability drain: intelligence and devour intellect

FYI, you missed the three goblin kids outside the camp near Crusher. They're like the Zhents inside and despawn if you aggro the whole camp. I also think you missed the shadow druid rats in the grove, you might have to go through the exposing kagha questline to get them. If you choose to raid the grove with Minthara, all the Tiefling children will die.

you can kill withers by draining his intelligence and then absorb intellect, works with mizora too

In Ethels Lair, you can heal the guy who was turned into stone with a basilisk(?) potion. Another easily missed NPC.

Can't wait for the finale. The cutscene before the final battle (where your allies cheer you on) is going to be hilarious!

Act 3 is going to be insane

The blue jay was lying. He even stole a different bluejays nest. The one you meet him at was a different birds. From this we can easily assume the tiny bluejay has not built a nest using branches. /s

Mirkon (the kid by the Harpies) will die if you don't activate the encounter soon enough, but he can also die in the battle against the Harpies, though it is up to random chance. While the Harpies rarely, if ever, directly target Mirkon for attacks, and he primarily uses the Disengage skill to flee the battle, if one of the Harpies begins singing on a subsequent turn and succeeds in luring him back, he can walk past one of them and trigger an Attack of Opportunity, one-shotting him. Happened to me just last night and cost me 30 minutes because I forgot to save, lol.

You forgot the shadow druids, Kagha's rats that only turn into humans if you expose her plotting.

I don't know if anyone else commented this, but there are more NPC's connected to Kagha *Spoilers btw* Near Ethel's cabin there is an abandoned road that leads to a huge tree. Within said tree there is a letter to Kagha from the Shadow Druids. Confront her and the rats in the druid camp will transform back to their humanoid form and a new combat begins

Oathbreaker Durge who kills everyone with a black and red color theme is the most edgy thing I've ever seen ITS PERFECT

You can also kill Mizora, and doing so sends Wyll down to the hells.

Being a total psycho in this game is legit pretty mentally taxing, killing that Owlbear cub made me feel grosser than almost any other game decision has

Having done that in Divinity Original Sin 1&2 i can vouch for Larian being actually very good with this sort of thing in terms of not breaking the game/story. Though, i didnt get around to do it in BG3 yet. Regardless, happy hunting my dude

u can kill the grove kids by raiding the grove with the gobbos but i am not sure about any other kids So what u should have done is clear out all the gobbos except for the red dude and minthara then sent her to raid the grove from their kill the red dude and raid the grove which spawns new gobbos once the grove and kids are dead u kill the gobbos

In act 1 as durge, you can rip the wings off of the exhausted bird

Before watching the video. There is a replacement for every single tiefling in the emerald grove party if they die. And replacements to those replacements. And they are all named

13:09 thank you for using a smite to nake sure it only takes one hit. It means a lot

Missed the minotaurs

You missed out on being able to safely kill Gale by NOT cutting his hand off. This also locks you out of Elminster appearances and any of his unique quest characters, but now that Gale is in your world the only way to kill him is with the Netherese Orb at the end of the game, which results in an ending where everyone DOESN'T die. Cutting of Gale's hand traps him between realms with an open wound and no means of escape, and no way for his orb to go boom and end your game early.

I'm surprised you didn't do the Karlach beheading event. It's as brutal as it sounds and I feel like this is the only kind of run where it would be most appropriate.

I wanted to do this after I finished my first playthrough but was never able to suffer through it.

if you go into the zaithisk yourself instead of laezel and pass all the saves (lower dc than if laezel does it), your main character will be able to use all the tadpole powers as a bonus action instead of an action for the rest of the game

Every time I try to save the boy from the harpies he dies

You miss the undead army guarding the way to the shadow cursed lands

31:46 raphael is a devil, not a demon Devils in dungeons and dragons originate from the hells and are lawful evil Demons are from the abyss and are chaotic evil

missed the shadow druids

You missed quite a big amount of goblins that can only be killed when you tell Minthara the location of the grove and then defend the grove from Minthara leading the attack as there's a lot of similar enemies that are in the camp, but they're not the same goblins. After you kill all the enemies in the grove siege you can go back to the camp and all the goblins are still there and they're auto hostile towards you.

after the newest patch you can actually have minthara as a companion even if you kill the goblins you just have to knock her unconsious

right before Scratch went to be a good boy in a happier place I got an ad. The timing couldn't have been more perfect

every time i fought the harpies that child died, so definitely possible💀

If I recall correctly I remember someone “killing” withers by using the Flesh to Gold spell (obtained via the signed trade visa, dropped from Gerringothe Thorm after giving her at least 5k gold.)

Oathbreaker was like "ALREADY?!"

the child in the beach can die, aradin bring many npc against you in act 3, new gobelins appears if you attack the grove with minthara

You actually can kill the kids! The first time I did the harpy mission he ran away without disengage and got his shit rocked by a harpy

I'm pretty sure Mayrina has to be rescued and stay alive until act 3 as there's 3 other NPC's that are connected to the quest: Avenge the Hag Survivors that appear in Old Garlow's Place if Mayrina has been rescued and is alive.

Fun fact - The blue jay is actually a bad guy, and if you knock out the eagles instead of killing them, the jay will come and finish them off in front of you and tells you it wasn't really his nest!

You can kill the kids in the grove! If you team up with Minthara she’ll join you to attack the grove with some goblins, and the goblins will kill all of the kids, it’s pretty brutal and there’s some unsettling dialogue when you talk to the ones who did it.

I will say Counceller Florrick *might* be required to be fed 2 tasty morsels due to refusing the deal Wyll is offered if you try to break his pact in act 2. I'm pretty sure refusing this deal is already required for Mizora to feed you even more morsels by trying to get what she offers anyways(since she summons adds to stop you) but refusing the deal also has Florrick bring her allies(which is another fucking quest you have to do to make sure she is free in act 3) and those allies *might* be unique to that encounter. Either that or someone else replaces her but if not Florrick has to live technically. I also don't think you can kill Isobel right away because you want to progress Halsin's quest to get his feeding frenzy of morsels from portal defense and that seems to only trigger after Isobel's fight which I think means the optimal strat is to kill the grove to 1 person, and if the raiders on the grove are unique raid the grove and betray Minthara to get those kills and if the raiders are not unique then make sure the last person in the grove is a druid who can complete the rite of thorns. If the grove is thorned off Halsin will join your camp but not if it's raided with you helping the raiders. You can also raid the grove with only Zevlor remaining since you can kill him later but don't fry him in act 2 since freeing him gives more adds in the fight than would be fried without freeing them. If you don't care about maximizing kill count ignore me and just make sure to clear the prison in Moonrise before and during the raid to make sure the guards there are dealt with

in the creche with the zei'thisk or however its spelled, whoever gets inside of it will receive a debuff based on where you failed your saving rolls, but if you pass all 3 rolls in the thing you instead get the "awakened" buff which makes all of your Illithid powers bonus actions instead of actions. granted itll always explode so its whoever goes in gets it

You missed your chance with Gale at the beginning.. his severed hand looks so nice in the Dark Urge's inventory.

I think you need to keep halsin alive, so you can get Oliver and thanial, not sure if you can kill them, but you can kill people in camp so…

You forgot the shadow druids

You can kill the harpy kid by just not going over there until the end of act 1

Fantastic job. I am surprised how easily you have sliced through some really tough fights. I can't wait to see Act 2 and Act 3. Your blood lust and accounting is quite inspirational. :P

I tried something like this and gave up on it in Act III, because dealing with the Flaming Fist spawns is.... interesting. There was a spot near the stage in the Circus with three civilians, none of whom run away when you attack one of the others. Each one summons three Flaming Fist when you attack them. Finding this out was the worst time I've had in this entire game. On the other hand, I attacked the Murder Tribunal target outside of the Blushing Mermaid, aggroed the whole tavern, and had a blast. Attacking the bank instead of talking my way in was also really fun. Just maybe take down the Steel Watchers as early as possible in Act III.

10:40 The kid can die if he gets too close to the harpy singing on the rocks. I found that out after he kept failing the saves to get away, he was lured all the way across. She basically one shot him.

For killing playable characters: you can technically kill them anytime, but there are circumstances where they can die permanently. Lae’zel is the easiest, you get SO many opportunities to let her die, e.g. letting Shadowheart kill her. Astarian can be killed in the scene where he tries to suck you. Karlach is dead. Wyll can be killed if you raid the Druid grove with him and Minthara (who can be killed immediately after iirc). Shart can be killed in the Shadowfell if you don’t let her kill (spoilers) the Nightsong. Minsc can be killed in his initial battle, and I think as long as you kill Jaheira before the assault on Moonrise, you’re good. From what I remember, none of these deaths lock you out of any unique kills. Cazador, Voss, Lady DeVriska, and Ravengard all still appear iirc. However if you kill Halsin too early, you don’t get access to Thaniel. I’m not actually sure if Thaniel can die, so this might be moot. Orin can kill him later anyway. Lastly, Gale. He can die in the portal you meet him in, but that locks you out of Elminster. He can’t actually die, but where’s the fun if you can’t even beat up an old man(‘s construct he’s using as a body)? After that, you should let Gale explode during the Netherbrain fight, so both he and your Durge die. (: Also, nitpick, lorewise Shovel doesn’t really die. She’s from the hells, so she respawns back there, like Yurgir. But gamewise she’s effectively dead since you didn’t learn the scroll, so whatever.

Hank (npc that serves you and karlach during a date) has a replacement npc if you kill him beforehand

Your video has made me think that when I do this kind of run, I will deliberately keep alive any NPC in an earlier act that reappears later, so that it opens up the other quests and NPCs. So I can do them in at the later stage. Props.

i thought this would be a hard watch but man your commentary was so good the time flew by. looking forward to act 2 (or maybe even more act 1 judging by all the comments pointing out the shadow druids, mayrina's npcs, florrick's npcs...you got your work cut out for you LMAO)

I similarly lump the Underdark and Crèche into an “Act 1.5”. It just seems like there is a definite end to an arc after you deal with the Goblin Camp and other areas of the Wilderness

Raphael is not a demon btw, he's a devil. Big difference in DND, in the infernal realm they are kind of opposites

Also i would check about the hag survivors quest, I don’t know if it will activate without mayrina which obviously has a few unique npcs

50:52 fungi are not plants, they are closer to you than they are to plants

Also, you missed an opportunuty to kill the Shadow Druids. If you expose Kagha by grabbing the paper from the tree where the woodwoads are three more npcs show up to kill!

If you attacked the Emerald Grove with Minthara, her forces will kill the kids in the grove for you

Maybe a skidge of goblins? A stain?

Larian: Oh boy I can't wait to see what content people make of our game! Larian after seeing the content: :O

Thank you for this. I kinda started to do a run like this for my 2nd playthrough but realizing i have to do everything again kinda turned me off from continuing. Now i can experience that playthrough through these videos :)

Every time I see the intro to Wyll, just makes me think *every time* of an edit, where he is training the kids in camp, and when the kid swings at him, he does the "Provoke the blade and suffer it's sting" while stabbing the kid. Such a good edit xD Can't for the life of me find which channel did it though. Thought it was Pongsifu, but I just binged all his BG3 videos looking for it.

Are you playing in explorer difficulty? Had this doubt nagging at me for half the video and I need to know because I cannot focus on anything else

Love the video! And since you asked: you can use the Basilisk Oil to remove the petrified condition from the dwarf in Auntie Etel's Basement. He'll end up dieing on his own since he's effected by a desease and the petrification was stopping it, but by leving him petrified he's tecnically still alive (that's kinda the whole reason why he willingly did that)!

So, fun fact, the Tiefling children CAN be killed as can the kid on the beach. The kid on the beach is easy, I have just had the harpies attack him before and he can die, also, if you go to the area, see him, leave, then come back, he's body is just left on the beach. As for the other children, if you attack the grove with Minthara and the Goblins, you can't kill them but if you go to their hideout, you find a few goblins walking around and all their dead bodies. Honestly, it's super dark and weird that you can do it! You might not want to do these things as doing them might mean you miss other killable characters but yeah, while you can't murder children your self, the kids in the game can certainly die!

The audio bonk for Scratch made me audibly gasp. This must have been so hard to do xD

I have a laugh everytime someone calls a devil like Raphael a demon. They hate that 😂

I personally wouldn't count it, but there is a third owlbear that gets called in if you're paying on tactician. The mother owlbear does a mating call as a legendary action in her fight to summon it But maybe you cover that later into the video!

Re; The Flind. You can make her attack her pack, attack the Zhents in the cave & finally, kill herself. You need to get closer to her by the end of the first round of combat, & it opens up a conversation with her

My man, this is peak content, keep up the good work, much love from Portugal^^

I think you missed the Mud Mephits and company in the swamp, unless I missed it in the video which is likely. Great video, though!

Act 2 spoilers In act 2 temple of shar there is one more instance of easily missed rat chicanery

It’s crazy how much of the game is in act 1

10:22 In fact, if you get closer to activate the quest but leave, a while later the boy will be dead next to the harpy.

This kind of reminds me of when I did the raid on the emerald grove but during the celebration minthara tried to kill me so I killed both groups so I uad no allies in the first act

Didn´t you theoretically miss the two cambions that join the zhulk/mindflayer fight after a few rounds? But else, great dedication to the vid. I just wish there would be a spell like pyroclastic eruption in DOS2 that targets every npc in a certain range so you could just blast them to pieces^^

I think he metaphorically killed Raphael by calling him a demon.

If anything, killing Oscar spawns more NPCs for you to kill because there’s an art party at Lady Janneth’s instead of a haunting. You just won’t get to kill Oscar’s lost lover ghost.

i was planning on doing a genocide run can't wait to see this series

W video, been wondering when we would see another video from mr dumpy. 10/10

There's also a boar near the place you meet Astarion and a spider cluster near the groove where you can get the guidance amulet

I never expected you to do this game, extremely glad you did 🙏

If any of the tieflings die, there are replacements at the tiefling party for any that would be there otherwise. (Just started the video so this might be covered but these are among the most obscure characters) edit: nevermind

Also if you give the egg to the woman, in buldurs gate you can find the gith that birthed from the egg, which would be a unique npc Edit: never mind he has been aborted

You need to play on honour mode to get certain NPCs to spawn

Amazing playthrough, cannot wait to see the second act
