You can easily get to those vaults by shooting the buttons on either side between the vaults, the buttons turn off the traps and let you walk around like normal.

[bryonduncan]

The Devil's Fee dialogue option is unlocked by noticing the real demon objects in the store or if you get nosey and trespass into her office.

I wonder if that huge parasite-stash at the docks will show up if you blow certain stuff up outside of Moonrise. There is an area there at Moonrise docks where your party will notice a large shipment of parasites, waiting to be loaded onto a boat. You can discover it whilst exploring Moonrise before the attack starts. There are guards there, but if you just walk around and explore, they won't attack you at this point.

9:00 That trapped room at the Counting House is actually much simpler to deal with than I thought. I was way overthinking this, I think, until I noticed two buttons on either side-wall. They sit between the two glyphs - and I don't think you need to pass a perception check to spot them... but I could be wrong. You can simply shoot both buttons with a bow/crossbow from a distance - doing so will deactivate the glyphs. They'll still be there on the floor but you can now step on them without getting teleported out of the room.


The vault room opposite the one with the glyphs can also be looted - you just need to find a way to get through those metal "fences" (there don't seem to be any doors or gates). I tried Gaseous Form but that didn't work for some reason. IIRC, Misty Step and Dimension Door both do work. I only looted the vaults on the left hand side and at least one of those vaults has some very nice stuff in it.


Also, also, also re the Counting House: It seems that once you progressed to a certain point, none of the NPCs present in the main vault room will mind you lock-picking any of the high security vaults. I think you'll even get a response like "what are you doing? ... oh well... who cares at this point, anyway?) from the head-banker. There's one vault down there that contains a book with some very interesting info on the main story, explaining a lot of the plot details and background before you ever have them revealed to you via

[Ririten]

5:55 This building belongs to the drow who asks for your blood in Moonrise Towers. if she survived and you agreed to give her your blood before, she can further uhm, unlock the power of your blood. For a rather crazy and creative power.

[abysstreader]

You can also get two parasites at the cobblers house, but I'll let anyone who hasn't found them figure it out.

[bacchus]

I really appreciate the nuance you put in the video, both in avoiding ovious spoilers (while still giving usefull clues on where to go) and underlining how different play-throughs might affect different situations.

[Smileyhat]

At 5:40, this is actually a location where you find a drow alchemist who you can meet in act 2 at Moonrise. After having given her my blood in act 2 and then meeting here at this location in the video, she gave me a potion that made my blood explosive. So now every time my main character gets hit, she explodes and creates a fire area around her. This effect seems to be permanent.

Also, I'd just like to know how your team has so much HP. My squad is level 10, and my fighter has only just crossed over 100 HP with everyone else around the 70s.

[jotainkiva]

There are interactables in the diabolist shop, where if you succeed in checks, you can determine that she is quite a capable diabolist and a dialogue for her to open the better shop appears.

[julienrouche-lestonnat]

6:04 it's the house of the alchemist Oblodra, you can find her in the towers in act 2 and give her astarion's blood.

[GhostpainOG]

The last bit with the Necromancer has a quest attached to him about finding a zombie assistant. There are two free-wandering zombies, one in the alley on the right, right by the gate when you enter and the other in the graveyard. Get the quest from Carrion the Necromancer and then talk to those two. I haven't finished it yet. You can go upstairs and deal with the zombies without Carrion noticing or caring.

[StoneCardinal]

05:41 Secrets of an Assassin : this house is the blood merchants house from Act 2. if you give her blood previously when you approach the house, there will be a huge explosion from her testing your blood. she will then give you a potion to make your blood explosive and do minor fire damage to whom ever. she is also a vendor

[DILANSAVINDA]

In the Secret of Assassin place there is a trader "Araj Oblodra", she first found in Moonlight towers in Act 2. As Karlach I gave her some of my blood in Act 2, in Act 3 when I go to her house, the house explodes. She is doing some tests with Karlachs blood.

[pyrflie]

The Vaults can be accessed with teleportation arrows or spells. Conjuration Gale is pretty big here as he can use a bunch of summon spells (that are useful in the fight ahead) and use Benign Transposition to gain access to the Vaults at the same time.

[aspirion]

5:41you can encounter here the Aray from the moontowers which wanna have Astarions Blood. She is just another trader in the City and sells you lots of Alchemiestuff and Potions.
You can still donate some blood to her.

[aingeria]

8:30 water on the rune's deactivates them. there's a notebook somewhere in that area that talks about how water makes the security system malfunction (the glowing symbol doesn't go away. but you can walk on them)

[CHIIIEEEEEEEEFFFFSSS]

4:50 it's not time related - somebody needs to pass a certain number of intelligence checks on the stuff around the store to notice that she has rare, powerful items on display. This unlocks the dialogue checks.

[matenagy]

8:57 you can see the button on the wall. Just shoot it with an arrow and the trap will no longer affect you. Also there is an other button on the opposite side

[NotAValveGame]

In the bank vault the puzzle to get behind the big vault door you can find a note somewhere in the room that basically says don’t use water on the runes and if you use water on the runes it breaks it

[niydfass]

Actually correction about some stuff! Spoilers for Dark Urge and Act 3:



















the Chosen of Bhaal mentioned in the letters and the one who stole from Raphael's home was actually the Dark Urge origin character, not Orin. In a normal playthrough you can find their corpse in the Temple of Bhaal, and if you are playing them you can get a unique itneraction with Helsik where she recognizes you.
