New INSANE Weapon You're Not Supposed to Get in  

Time for a Kratos playthrough

Thats what i thought of as soon as i saw the blades

I have a dead Kratos run, was using an 2H axe, but seeing this I may have to revive it

Especially if you have bound weapon on it. Lol

TO TELOS ARHIZI

Homie will straight up just let you pickpocket him with zero questioning I doubt he cares 😂

He knew this trick was possible, he was just waiting for someone to finally figure it out.

"Why did you let me do that?" Withers sighs. He rolls his eyes. He speaks his words as if he had said them a million times before: "For the lulz."

Hes probably snickering to himself in amazement at how crafty these short-lived mortals really are

That happens when you’re a god lol

Ty for this info

I know what im doing when i get home🎉

Why wouldn't it halve the damage?

@@Isaaxmy assumption would be that tigers swipe when they attack and since you are a tiger barbarian you get the full effect of the swipe

​@@kkswerzthe tiger attack is worded to divide the damage... but a neat synergy is great weapon master giving +10 damage does not divide its +10 to each target. I suspect the original commentor was thinking because this bugged blade is dealing only fire damage or is like a spell it may also ignore the division on the tiger cleave move. But I don't know whether or not that works.

@@Isaax It does, so it's generally only optimal when you can hit 2 or more enemies. However, it does also inflict bleed, and if you got the Wolverine animal aspect you can lock enemies down. The Wolverine aspect makes it so attacks against poisoned or bleeding enemies puts their movement to 0, but for some reason the very first attack that inflicts bleed also gets rid of their movement.

Yeah, thought because it's a different damage type they wouldn't be halved. They are however. Any additional damage you add such as from great weapon master, burning weapons, or smites, is not halved. Also notably the extra radiant damage from a Deva mace is not halved.

Because the swords are supposed to literally be made of fire, not exactly something you can just away on your back. Unfortunately, doing this bug also gets rid of the fire effects for the weapon.

​@AirLancer While not entirely composed of flame Mr. Cambion's burning sword you can steal on the Nautiloid with the drop spell fits on your back just fine

It might, but even if it does, the permanent Flame Blade will scale off Str instead of the original spellcasting stat

​@@pointblankvt6780 binding it as warlock pact weapon would make it CHA based though, no?

Yup​@@Kasiarzynka

@@pointblankvt6780which is better actually. This sounds stupid but remember this game has 3957271014858 21 and 27 strength pots. So it’s just a distinct advantage and damage and to hit buff

That's quite a few strength potions

this no longer works

@@Sansanvi_Inanis I just did it the way they did in the video 7hrs ago and it did

​@@Sansanvi_InanisIt still works. I just did it. You must keep it eguipt on the hireling when dismissing.

Maybe he was trolling

You were having problems because you didn't follow the instructions then you followed them and it worked You're a genius

How would you do this with the shadow blade?

@@j.w.7608 Pretty sure the same way, just have the hirling summon the highest tier SHadowblade tell it get lost and then rehire it

@@TherenDuskunfortunately there isn't an upgraded Shadow Blade since it's only accessible through the ring

​@@Alateriel91 2d8 psychic damage is still extremely good on a light weapon, especially since you can give every enemy psychic vulnerability. Not to mention its effect that gives you advantage against enemies that are at all obscured. The only things it's really weaker than are generally other weapons that you're not supposed to be able to get permanently either.

Fr? Ok damn ill be a magic blade dual wield spoor druid barbarian or something... mhhh or maybe warlock, could be fun with the extra necrotic dmg with the blasting option

Yes, but that's from an item(as far as i can see). Therefore, it cannot be upcast.

​@kungknas6108 I mean a 2d8 psychic damage finesse weapon that can pretty easily have permanent advantage is still really good

@@superdino196696 Oh yes, mostly for a rogue though. If I'm making a fighter, paladin or similar, I'd rather have the flame blades.

While cool, I feel like there's already some awesome weapons that don't get the love they should for a dw spec.

lmao

I’m interested in this. What’s his class? I’m thinking Berserker Barb multiclass with Eldritch knight.

​@@gonggongliveof course berseker

​@@gonggonglive yeah that combo isn't just for theme but it's actually strong. It's my karlach build.

There's a ring that lets you cast shadow blade, which is a spell from dnd of the same name. I guess they didn't make it an option for wizard since shadow blade has a reputation of being the backbone of a few very broken dndttrpg builds.

They’re hot :(

so *this* is what Kratos feels like leans into the fantasy even more at this point

I honestly did the same, Everburn Blade was my main weapon for almost the whole game on my first playthrough as a Fighter alongside a crossbow that inflicts Bane (that and an over-abundance of scrolls). I gave the Blood of Lathander to Shadowheart and it basically made 95% of Act 2 battles utterly trivial (kinda goes out the window after because Undead enemies aren't as common after act 2).

Everburn is cool to look at, and useful early in Act 1, but I think people overestimate its power mechanically. It is surpassed the moment you find an otherwise mundane +1 Greatsword (sold by Grat in the Goblin Camp), or another +1 melee weapon if you build for it (such as equipping a shield). An additional +1 enchantment is easy to scoff at, since it doesn't sound so sexy. But mechanically, it matters a sizable amount in the big picture. Even if you don't dip that +1 weapon in a candle, other source of fire, toxin, etc. for the +1d4 damage, the +1 to accuracy is adding enough extra damage to compensate on its own, and then you have a permanent +1 damage, as well. _Missing_ enemies drops damage output hard. Having said that, the Everburn Blade looks so cool that I often run with it far longer than is optimal and I'd never fault someone for doing the same.

@@tantalus_complex the +1 is actually fairly over rated. The best that it can do is actually break even. but realistically it doesn't. Literally the only advantage you get out of it is the +1 to hit but the guaranteed damage for those hits is the same, with a good likelyhood of burning blade doing more. Enemies in Act 1 aren't that missable unless you insist on doing GWM on literally everything. That's when you are going to drop your damage output considerably. Otherwise the slightly less accuracy but slightly higher damage output is going to mostly balance them out if not work slightly in burning blades favor. This is because for each 1 extra hit you make from the +1 attack, it's going to be made up for within a few hits of the burning blade, and the +1 attack is only adding 5% greater odds of hitting. yes it'll turn a 45% chance into a coin flip for you. But if you are hitting 90% of the time without it then that 5% is not doing much for you. what this boils down to really is use the Burning Blade if a basic +1 is all you got access to. Cast Bless on the person for more of an advantage than switching weapons will actually give you and the best of both worlds, AND you won't have to waste actions dipping anything to do fire damage to your enemies. Trade them both out once something better comes along.

@@Quandry1 A 1d4 is never going to be make up for the DPS losses incurred when whiffing entirely. Yes, it depends on your difficulty level. If you play at higher difficulties, enemies get bonuses to their AC. The higher the enemy AC, the more value is provided by that +1 to hit. If you invest in GWF or Savage Attacker, yes, it gets closer. But then just take a +1 weapon and dip it. If your combats are lasting so long that the 1d4 outpaces the +1 damage and +1 to-hit bonus (which is questionable anyway), then it is worth spending a single bonus action to dip a +1 weapon - or, even better, prep it before combat. Combats rarely last more than 2 rounds in an optimized and prepared party. Bless is indeed great, especially when pre-cast. But once you hit level 5, Spirit Guardians is going to net higher impact to party DPS (through direct damage and crowd control via the speed debuff and magic item effects, like Radiant Orbs) - unless you're up against Shar's gang. Plus, you don't have to concentrate on Bless when you can grant it through healing while wearing the Whispering Promise ring. But having the Bless condition up doesn't negate the value of a +1 enchantment, especially once you hit the Mountain Pass and especially on Honour Mode.

You are working for a logical fallacy. Assuming that the damage has to be made up in individual combats and it does not. The balance is over lots of combats and lots of damage rolls. 1d4 averages 2.5 damage which means 10 damage in 4 hits. The same amount of damage that you get out of GWM, and GWM is in fact balanced around this long term balance. Much higher damage on individual hits brought down into balance by the large number of hits you are actually going to miss by using it in many cases. On top of this. Those 4 hits happen even faster once you get up to the point of extra attack at level 5. Which boosts you up to an average damage of 5 per round when both attacks hit, which is going to happen almost as often as a basic +1 weapon. So even if we take off the 2 damage from the +1 enchantment you are still highly likely to be doing 3 extra damage on any given turn. This is going to more than make up for the few extra missed attacks for such a small attack bonus difference. Dipping for your bonus action has other uses depending on your class. Including potentially other attacks, rage for increased damage on every attack, or even healing as well as attacking. people bring up the Bless on healing often but they do not bring up the fact that it is short duration and thus has a high cost in constantly needing to spend resources on healing to keep it up. It's a nice bonus, particularly at higher difficulties, but it is only that. A bonus, not a reliable cost effective strategy in many cases. The healing bonus also tends to ignore the fact that the concentration version of bless tends to affect more people for much more cost efficiency in a lot of cases. A cost efficiency that can potentially make up for Spirit Guardians. Spirit Guardians is strong but it requires positioning, and may require some enemies to kind of work with you to get full effect out of it, luckily there is a decent chance that the enemy AI does play along on many enemies. But it's base average damage is only 12 per enemy and requires a level 3 spell slot which is potentially taking up healing resources if you are using healing to keep bless active. This means there is potential for your other 3 party members to make up for this damage through more of their own depending on the situation and may end up being a better option, partly because Spirit Guardian's greatest strength is against large numbers of trash mobs that are close together (just like fireball ironically but Spirit Guardians lasts potentially longer for a single casting). And yes I am aware that Spirit Guardians can have damage type synergies such as with radiating orb. But there are also a lot of indirect synergies with Bless as well. Most Notably the fact that GWM becomes a lot more viable in a lot more places for it's extra damage, which greatly makes up for the damage loss of not using Spirit Guardians. At the same time it can make Sharp Shooter more viable on a different character in more places. The combinations really kind of get to the point that it gets hard to calculate the full usefulness of a full duration concentrated bless because of all of the possible non-direct synergies that are created within the full party over arguing for a single characters increased damage. Which is also true for many support characters and their spells and effects. it really depends on each individual scenario and there is no one good overall rule to follow between them. Both are highly viable.

😅

Don't we all.

Blessing to all of pirates 😄😄😄

I’m just playing on Patch 5 And before that I was playing the release version I loooooove all these well hidden exploits for a single player game. So many FUN secrets theyre only good for the game since they’re unlikely to be stumbled on and affect gameplay unles you WANT them to

@@markrayanvaldez4136 i cant imagine pirating BG3 of all games, if any game earned the right to be loved and bought it is BG3

Do you get the mod for his panther?

I would literally die if I did that.

I tried it just now in a new run, it works. I'm currently at the point where you arrive at the grove for the first time

@@emirkh8160 and what was your spets to make it work. I did hire him, lvl up druid guy and casted highest scimitar he could, but after that when I returned him and hired him back he was with default gear

isnt it just the arabella shadow blades and these ones?

@@thedoomslayer5863 Would theoretically work on pact of the blade summoned weapons, though they aren't as strong.

I dont trust drow...

Yeah I made Minthara a strong drow

What about a strong Cleric of Tyr Dark Urge Drow?

My two lesbian heavy armor two handed hammer combo is lovely tho 😂

​@@q6906just threw in a fun fact about their sexuality😂

which warding bond exploit?

What? Just use it in your playthrough right now lol
