One of the best tips is while your main character is talking to someone, and you know a fight is coming. You can switch to your other characters and set them up in the best positions for the coming battle, and once it starts you have the advantage.

ALWAYS enter turn-based mode before attacking when out of combat. Your actions/bonus actions will refresh. Its 8 attacks before the enemy turn. I had the bad habit of moving my charchters than attacking but than they dont have an action point when they enter combat. Now I always enter turn-based before attacking and get 2 attacks instead of 1

There is a nice combo. Use gun powder or grease before setting it on fire then throw poison to detonate the fire zone once again.

Another tip I'm abusing is having your ranged character (or character's) carry three wooden boxes in their inventory. Whenever I can't get to a high ground, I go into inventory, righ click --> drop the three boxes, stack them on top of each other and right click --> climb up. Portable high ground. With Sanctuary you can even do this in the middle of combat.

Almost 300hrs in and I'm still learning things. Love the video and makes me want to run to my PC and get into the game.

One thing that lot of people don't realize is that you can use water or grease to reveal invisible enemies, including throwing potions next to invisible enemy. You can also throw some potions to do effect as long as you throw potion next to character you want and not directly at them. For example if you throw healing potion next to NPC, it will heal them because potion breaks and splashes.

Also, don't underestimate terrain control spells like web, or vine spikes, they can be insanely powerful especially in tight corridors where you force enemies to walk through. I easily killed those three ogres in blighted village at lvl 3, because I spiked the terrain and it took like half of their HP till they walked up to me.

This was hands down the best combat tips video for BG3.

[MortenHaggren]

Another great tip (that wouldn't work in 5e) - Spiritual weapon can be attacked, but has resistance/imunity to almost every thing - and the enemies sees it as a valid target, meaning if it's the closest thing to them they will all group up and attack it meaning your party is safe from harm. And while they are nicely grouped up you can AOE them down at your leasure.
It only costs a bonus action to cast ( and a 2nd level spell slot ), but unlike 5e it does cost *your* bonus turn to move/attack, it has it's own.
Insanely OP :D

7:48 started a game with a group of friends, i took a cleric with command and one of the others had a barb. got to the helm where the mindflayer is fighting the demon guy.. commanded the demon to drop his flaming greatsword. barb snagged it and we ran out if that fight. saved a shitton of time trying for the sword. lol

[SirCharles]

Nice one on Sanctuary. I didn't realize how useful it could be! Barrelmancer is hilariously awesome!

[JustNilt]

Nice, I was unaware that grouped party members were all handled in a single turn. I'd seen the enemies doing that now and again but never figured out why. I just assumed it was a pack ability or something. This is really useful so thanks!

[berylman]

The part about using actions on close party groups out of order was especially useful

[DOOFUSTHEDOGS]

90ish hours in full release and 40 from early and i definitely learned a thing or two in this! Thanks dude

[colmortimer]

That last one is the best, I have done this before battle, but not made use of it in battle there are so many times Astarion goes first, and I might be able to get someone next to him for sneak attack. But I do in general need to use the environment more. Sometimes I remember to dip my weapons, or look for barrels or a brazier to drop on someone, but usually it's after the battle that I am like, I could have used that.

[kwdblade]

People complaining that this game is "too complicated" have clearly never played a paper and pen tabletop RPG XD
This game is the closest thing to the chaotic nonsense a DM has to put up with as the players conspire to derail the entire campaign

[davidwhite]

Thanks for the advanced tactics! Never played a D&D game before, takes some getting used to.

[MegaParrotMan]

I’m right at the end of the game and have never used poisons, or many otherPotions except for health. I hope that on my next playthrough I’ll be more interactive with my options.

[sesimie]

That entwined turn order tip was a new one for me....Great info

[nimz]

Another thing with Grease is that it seems to break concentration, which can be very helpful.

[jaredjohnson]

As a noob I found these tips really helpful 👍
