Last we left off I spent over 60 hours completely beating act one of balers Gate 3 by myself was it worth it well judging from this pouch that weighs 66 lb and is full of spell Scrolls and consumables I’d say it was in addition nobody I care about has died yet they’re
Just stuck in Camp playing Uno or something today we push forward into act two and try to beat every possible encounter as a lone wolf We Begin Act Two by entering the shadow curse lands this area gives you a unique debuff that deals damage over time but you can avoid this with
The light or Dancing Lights can trip so it’s more of a slight inconvenience than something to actually worry about moving forward we encounter a group of Harpers who we introduce ourselves to and they are quickly ambushed by literal Shadows this encounter wasn’t too much trouble due to the adequateness my meat Shields
And of course Darkness because casting Darkness at the enem is constructed of literal Shadow somehow makes the fight easier I then make my way to the last Light in which is a little on the nose for the area but you know whatever jira kindly introduces herself and we make
Our way to Damon so we can potentially romance carlac yeah Damon’s here wait what the huh did Damon just die what the so apparently there’s a glitch if you did something with the strange Ox in act one I I don’t know what but it will cause it
To transform at a certain range and instantly start attacking Damon entering turnbas mode doesn’t stop it and reloading doesn’t even fix it Damon is basically guaranteed to die to this glitch is there just no way to save Damon hold on this is so stupid is this actually the case which locks out carlac
Character progression along with some equipment and since I’m a simp for carlac I couldn’t let this happen unfortunately it seems like there wasn’t any way to save Dam but there is if you do what called a gamer move oh my God it’s so complicated what first thing you want to
Do is find the trigger range which renders in the strange ax and go a little bit behind it then go talk to Withers at your Camp you want to reclass as a full level seven sorcerer make sure you take distant spells one of your metamagic options then take Misty step
As a second level spell and banishment as your fourth level spell canive in theory you wait for Damon to be in the correct position and then cast Misty step distance spell which may allow you to then cast banishment on Damon before he gets one shot allowing you to attack the shape changer and
Initiate combat with it after multiple attacks attempts to get this to work I finally managed to accomplish it and was extremely relieved to see demon was alive and well after I banished him to whatever place he ended up after reclassing to our normal warlock cleric build I then bought
Various items from the vendors of the last Light in the most important being the charge bound Warhammer The Shield of devotion the cloak of protection and the darkfire short bow all four are extremely good for our current build the charge bound Warhammer lets us scale our damage about on par with the everburn
Blade The Shield of devotion gives us a plus two AC and an additional first level spell slot the cloak of protection grants a plus one bonus to AC and all saving throws and the dark fire sharpo grants the ability to cast haste once per long rest while also granting
Resistance to Fire and coal damage after upgrading our build I took this opportunity to sell pretty much all of our items from our cam chest we weren’t using granting us more than 7,000 gold pieces after destroying their economy like the British Empire we finally went
To talk with jira she let us know that the absolute is likely residing within Moonrise and we’d need a way to get past the shadow curse in order to venture forward she said I could go talk with Isabelle but last time I did that a frat dude kidnapped her away so I just
Metagamed and teamed up with the Harpers in order to find the Colt’s secret KFC spice that prevents the shadow curse we find out that they are using a functioning Moon Lantern so naturally I immediately commit War just [ __ ] booming blade it is so massive and use my new found magic items
To deal over 60 damage in a single turn after obliterating all of these ads I freed the pixie from the Moon Lantern which grants the pixie’s blessing which completely negates the shadow curse it’s around this point that my friend Nory from Scotland joined in and I
Enlightened him on the best item in the game this has a Beholder inside of it so if I really need to I can just go you know pocket Beholder and you know pocket Beholder yeah yeah yeah you know naturally you can’t you can’t see the moving forward and exploring a bit I
Wanted to gain some more XP and I thought it would be a good opportunity to show off my game knowledge to Nori unfortunately forgot that these creatures do in fact have immunity to blindness making Darkness useless out of panic I debated pulling up the pocket holder of the iron flask I ended up
Adopting a much simpler strategy of just hitting [ __ ] as hard as I possibly can which ended up working way too well after that encounter we found a creepy tling child who wanted to play hide-and seek unfortunately for him volo’s eye lets you see invisibility making this incredibly easy since either they failed
The saving throw or you just Trace where the saving throw was made from after beating a kid in hideand-seek with military tracking technology he gave us a magic ring which I probably won’t be using and we moved forward exploring the rest of the Shadow cursed lands pretty soon after I got ambushed by
Blights and shambling mounds and quickly lost the fight after loudly declaring my ego okay armor I I do have ploud armor I do actually have ploud armor in case you weren’t aware never mind now that I knew they were waiting for me I was ready to take drastic measures to defeat them
A just kidding I just dealt damage to them out of combat so the surprise condition would trigger then demolish most of them with a third level maximize shatter I was running low on options so I teleported away to give myself more time to heal and was able to kill the
Remaining enemies with my big hammer you want to die that bad but hey I didn’t use Darkness for once so it isn’t always the go-to strategy sometimes you actually get to play the game after that we cleared out some measles and destroyed these cursed Ravens and we finally headed to riwin
And went to the Mason’s Guild basement because at this point I actually had no idea what I was doing since I never fully explored Act 2 up until this point after killing the ghouls and shadows underneath we grabbed the Helm of Arcane Acuity being completely lost still I encountered Arabella who we
Saved in act one who now has magical powers from the uranium inside the Statue of Sylvanas because that glow is not natural after killing her prisoners of War we finally leveled up to level eight and multiclass again into draconic sorcerer and made even more of a Tumblr
Character um yes I a half Dr half TL holy Warrior of Tora who made a deal with the devil and by dratic Heritage is finally unveiling itself I’m so cool we then quickly solved the plaque puzzle for the Statue I definitely didn’t look it up making our way into the Shon
Sanctuary we gain a temporary buff after succeeding some rolls but that wasn’t reward enough for me since there wasn’t anything else down here I was frustrated and randomly ATT the statue which actually spawned three enemies in so more XP I guess but it wasn’t as easy as
That I haven’t taken a long rest in a while so my resources were low and all three of them were level seven and one of them was a paladin so this wasn’t looking good I ended up burning all of my spells and resorted to just using
Booming blade and doing my best to heal through the damage with healing potions oh God Hello sir holy um might be time to take a long rest finally taking a long rest we are interrupted by maora who needs to rescue a client from moonrise Towers I persuade her that if we do this will gets to break his packed our Dream visitor tells
Us what a good boy we’ve been and Nory had to leave the stream moving forward we once again encounter our resident Disney villain who wants us to send one of his enemies back to the hells and aerion makes a deal with him to decipher the words on his back after which I send
Him right back to Camp after solving a simple puzzle we find ourselves within the gauntlet of sh we skipped the first puzzle for now because I forgot how to do it moved along the outskirts of The Gauntlet and met a cloaker which after dying for the first time encountering it
I reloaded my save and cast Darkness to win how exciting moving forward we needed to meet balazar in order to progress the story further but in order to do so we need to clear this encounter within the gar all of these enemies have sh sight which grants them immunity to
Blindness negating the effectiveness that Darkness would have had here in this encounter not to mention there are many more enemies than allies here meaning the action economy is is definitely not working in my favor luckily all we have to do is smash all these portals with our big hammer and
Luck our way out of getting hit too many times Anym oh no they’re doing the thing they want out bro the door is locked and we can have a chat at my wedding Bazar knows which car insurance company that’s balazar knows how to save you money most trustworthy balazar he lets us know of a relic deep underneath
The gauntlet that he wants us to clear away for and we March onward to the challenges The Gauntlet presents us the first one is the softstep trial which you can trivialize with a couple of invisibility spells and some knowhow of the maze the second is the self-same
Trial which is way easier on a solo playthrough because the AI won’t know how to play her character optimally so we just hit them really hard with our big hammer the third trial is the leap of faith and you can literally just see the path ahead if your eyeballs are
Working properly um so unless you’re blind this is pretty easy sorry to any blind viewers out there up next is the Silent Library destroy the portal in the center to remove the silence effect and Destroy any jusers in the room loot everything in here and careful of the
Traps in the bookshelves cuz I think like half of them are trapped at least and put the night singer book on the pedestal this isn’t really necessary but you gain the dark justi your Helm and the Spear of night which changes into a different weapon once you free the Night
Song or kill the Night song up to you of course before we push the story along we have to deal with Raphael’s little situationship with your gear by simply jumping or teleporting over this Chasm you can find yourself in a position to Ambush your gear giving you a massive
Advantage during the fight now unfortunately all of these enemies have devil sight which means casting darkness is once again completely useless instead we sneak up behind them and cast a cone of cold from a spell scroll dealing 8 8 cold damage in a massive area this opened up combat with
A massive amount of damage and we gain a surprise round on the entire encounter once we got to your gear we attacked him a bunch of times with my big hammer choosing to crit on the final attack using luck of the far Realms from the worms inside my brain sending him back
To the nine Hells naturally you would think that facing off against eight maragon and a displacer beast would be difficult but this is where our single level of sorcerer comes into play sorcerer grants us access to the first level spell shield which gives a plus life bonus to your armor class in
Reaction to an attack that would have hit you in addition to all my equipment that gives us an armor class of 26 of course you can get that higher but is that really necessary apparently so because even with my high AC I quickly ran out of spell slots to guard from
Attacks and found myself in a precarious situation luckily they missed enough times on my 21 AC and I was able to once again barely scraped by with zero spell slots left but hey this isn’t a no long rest run so we’re a okay after Gathering our umbral gems together we made our way
To the portal of the shadow faell where the Night song lies in wait for a future justicier so naturally I ran away and went to talk with Damon and the last late in so we could fix more of carlac engine unfortunately I must have ruined her romance Quest and she seemed more
Interested in Withers than a living person so my bad I guess I know we can cuddle later don’t worry boo I’ll see you later she’s just going to disappear isn’t she and she is gone from the map okay the hug was a win though you know it’s better than a
Hug from carlac hitting the Subscribe button you Dingus also hit the like button we return to camp and Mr Disney reveals that the writing on aerion’s back is for a ritual to become a true drag queen and his Pimp Daddy kazador plans on sacrificing him for his Ascension asterion obviously doesn’t
Like that so we agreed to kill Cazador free of charge because any excuse to kill evil people is a win before heading to moonrise Towers I decided to go to the wrathman toll house to defeat Garen go thorm for a little XP boost before we
Set the stage for the end game of act two the first time I forgot about the jealous avarice ability which deals damage to you based on the amount of gold you’re carrying so after dying horrendously fast I put away my 9,000 gold and took them on while this footage
Of me destroying them in the background is playing now’s a good time to mention that booming blade wasn’t working correctly at the time of recording this since it’s not supposed to trigger Deep Impact for packed to the blade so in reality I shouldn’t be dealing this much
Damage but hey easier to ask for forgiveness then permission right so any of the fights are lean slightly toward my favor by approximately 23 damage per round on average um in case you were wondering sorry guys after bankrupting Gango thorm we finally made our way towards moonrise towers and we met the
Big villain of this act JK Simmons God this is just the hardest character intro ever it’s so I’m so sorry my Lord outside my control Try Again oh my God after pissing my pants real notified us that the artifact is deep beneath the Thor Mausoleum where we can find Bazar which we’ve already done and Krick is already waiting at the top of moonrise Towers so um I guess the stage is set let’s get this rolling before I enter
The shadow Feld to confront Balthazar in the Night song I bring along shadowart to conclude her storyline one way or another as soon as I am able I initiate combat with Bazar after he’s done explaining how evil he is and you still fail to appreciate the gifts I bestowed
On you alien sad to see a thing of Beauty not recogniz like I said average aruse enjoyer can you take a guess how this fight went with a bunch of enemies who don’t have devil sight yeah that’s right we cast darkness and while quite a few enemies surrounded me they were no
Match for my big hammer after clearing these ads it was just me facing off against balazar who kept going to the exact same position his minions died at I got bored of Eldridge blasting him for my cloud and smacked him with my big hammer we began our conversation with
The Night song who questioned our MO motives for being here if we were here to kill her and claim the title of justicier after I denied that claim Shadow heart stepped in and attempted to stop me from freeing the Night song and while I do feel remor for this I used my
Big hammer on shadowart because if she isn’t safe nobody is I don’t care who I had to step over to be the hero of the story because with my power I am the very writer of my own tale and I decide the fate of this run long story short we
Weren’t going to stop now regardless of the te- posing models of the enemies I killed and Shadow heart apparently with alen storming into the material plane we also return with a slightly heavyish heart agreeing to storm moonrise with a large group that jira put together and
Take down JK Simmons once and for all beginning on the main floor the first attempt ends in an unwinable scenario after all my allies died so I reload and use the only tactic I know is guaranteed to work barrelmancy by casting darkness and walking into it you’re able to get
Close without triggering combat and set up your explosives after opening combat with a massive amount of damage they almost regained the advantage with Hunger of Hadar but I had plenty of Arcane interference arrows to deal with it as the enemies fell they stood no chance against us except for jira while
I was able to defeat powerful foes with my big hammer our Druid companion fell to the might of a Paladin’s Divine Smite when we cleared the rest of the floor jira’s corpse L still on the cold stone ground I found more worms to put in my brain and we ascended up the tower
Easily dealing with any who stood in our way after exploring the second floor I found enough worms to max out my ilth potential with my resources depleted knowing JK Simmons was waiting for us I took a potion of angelic reprieve to gain a long rest before facing him down
Aen joins us at the tower’s Peak and thorm realizes that his immortality is gone we at first tried to intimidate him into surrendering but failed the second second role he attempts to make me bow the artifact saves us however and we initiate combat with the oath
Breaker oh my God I’m going first okay so if I go to Krick now he’s just going to Divine Smite my ass so I guess we we can do something here that I like to call the ultimate strategy because I can moon beam oh my God is we’re going
To cast a third level shatter right here destructive wrath beautiful eldrich blast baby oh yes that’s only 30 to hit holy um Jesus okay uh never mind we don’t do that on Krick and instead we just Farm These necrom mites Krick I know you have Divine Smite but have you
Met my bestest friend booming blade have you met my best friend booming blade really cool guy I think we’re going to take care of your little annoying people here please just hit one nice hammer versus Hammer I win has only begun he runs away clearly scared of my
Big hammer and we chase him down the meat tube after slaughtering some walking brains we find that the client Missour wanted us to rescue is in fact misora herself and because she’s a the Packa isn’t broken yet for will God pushing ahead we find a large room with
Tons of Undead inside and quickly find myself surrounded within Darkness the death Shepherd kept bringing back its allies and darkness eventually dropped I teleported away lining them up for a lightning bolt afterward I was surrounded again but turned the fight in my favor with a wall of fire allowing me
To finish them off after solving this annoying 3D brain puzzle we find the waking mind in a couple pieces of loot by putting the waking mind into the severed head slot you can talk with a GI zerai who will grant you the GI zerai mind barrier permanent buff which grants
Advantage on intelligent saving throws not necessarily useful in the upcoming fight but certainly useful in the long run before confronting JK Simmons I clear the rest of the floor and Ambush these unsuspecting cultists with my big hammer now that we’ve gained a sufficient amount of XP it was time to
Descend to JK Simmons and destroy him after using the Rejuvenation Station we had our full resources at our disposal and we were ready to solo this major boss fight by myself you said it was under control The Testament of Merle we are the Power Rangers sorry an elder

Better we’re just better you did well to defeat cck but cck was only the first to fall yes there are many more battles ahead and they will not be so easily won you will need allies well if there’s one thing that this playthrough is about it’s that enough lives have been lost I
