The BEST EVIL PARTY In BG3 - Honour Mode Darkness Party Build Guide

Four great builds and they all work great together! Annihilate enemies with the power of DARKNESS - they'll never know what hit them!

Making sure all characters have great synergy, don't compete for items, and cover every possible scenario is hard. Luckily, I've got you covered!

Hey man - since you say in your videos that you read every comment I hope you are reading this one:

I just wanted to let you know is that the videos you've produced on baldur's gate have gotten me through a rough spot in my life as I have struggled with depression. the funny thing is I barely even play baldur's gate, but Ive played a lot of DnD, and something about the content you yave produced for this game has been so relatable and enjoyable that Ive looked forward to each one.

In lieu of my ability to support monetarily, I hope that you will take this feedback and gratitude as my thanks. ❤

I think it is funny every time I hear you say, "and like every warlock before us we take agonizing blast and devil's sight." While I totally agree with you that these are the proper choices, I vividly remember a time when every warlock build guide said to take agonizing blast and repelling blast.

Something that would be super appreciated (not sure if there’s audience for it but there’s at least one) would be a brief rundown of an order to tackle things in act 1. Doesn’t need to be super detailed every fight breakdown just kind of a general flow as to not stumble into crazy hard fights without expecting it.

You are really the best at doing BG3 guides and builds ! I learn so much thanks to you, and I enjoy particularly your party builds. Also the fact that we don't need specific late game stuff to be able to enjoy the build you make are really nice. Please keep doing this amazing job if you can !

I'm specially happy to see this party build, because I have started a game with a similar flavor, I will say, but didn't work really well, specially in early game, so I just stop playing with that save (Im doing honor mod now so, it's fine), but I do want to come back to then, because I have the best idea on the RP side for this play through, and I will be using this builds to make this fun to play ! So thanks so much !

Oat of Ancients evil Lockadin without breaking oath? Better save money to payoff the Oathbreaker Knight

[MidKnightOTC]

for Astarion, I went with arcane trickster up to level 7 and took 5 levels of circle of the land. He was using gaseous form and misty step, transforming into wolves in battle and scaring the piss out of shadowheart 😂 and he really felt like Strahd.

Could you please post a Truly OP Party build where each of the four members center their playstyle around True Strike?

[TylerTried]

Perfect. I am almost done w/ my current honour mode playthrough and was wanting to do an evil sorc build. Your timing is always impeccable.

E: Oh even better a beast master. I've been wanting to try one.

[colinfrederick]

Hey man, very intriguing builds! I’d recommend starting the video with footage of the build in action, rather than just minthara’s face. I’m hesitant to try this since I’m not sure how it would be practically

[holinessmo-liness]

perfect timing!! Just started my 3rd play through (first DUrge) going full evil party with Lockadin as main last night! Timing could not have been better 😘

[eduardoserpa]

Love the Beast Ranger idea. I've been theorycrafting a Darkness-based party around Shadow Monk, so I'll be adding that one to the list.

[trashcangoblin]

What a super rad concept for a party. Love it ! Your builds are super cool and very intuitive to understand 🎉

[mileswickersham]

I really enjoy your party videos. Thinking up parties makes all the mental gears turn in a very enjoyable way. Thanks!

[Zvaenne]

currently playing your melee-honormode party build in - well, im a sissy - tactician to get back into the game, enjoying the sheer brokeness of it all come together... my first honormode will feature this builld and the evil route, i did put it off for a long time, but i think im ready and this partybuild is really something i never tried but always kinda wanted :) thanks mate

small edit: on my playthrough i was almost in act when i finally dropped this build cause i still had 2 chars without blindimmunity making it really awkward... you might want to adjust for devil sight on all chars untill late act2 if you want to play with darkness a lot, it is very safe and definetly worth it but it also is quite the hassle :)

Awesome build tho and thank you for letting me clear my first honormode with all your help through this channel! :)

[lauradeneault]

I never thought about doubling the duration of command. Good idea :-)

[RavenRoth]

I would love to see some of these parties you create in game play scenarios with your commentary, showing how these builds come into fruition would be super cool. Great work!

[indominability]

Whoa... I'm about to start my honor mode run with another set of your character build videos (Best Party Honor Mode), but this made me question that decision entirely!! Fantastic as usual, but more than usual here!!!

[macjabeth]

FYI... Beginning with abilities and moving up, rather than starting with cantrips and going down, makes it difficult for us console players to follow along. We can't skip sections while leveling up, so we have to fill in random spells and selections just to reach the abilities section. Then, we have to work our way back as you progress. You may not have been aware of this, but it's a challenge for console players, and it's quite frustrating.

[razorsedge]

Since the sorlock is the one mostly running haste, it's actually best to go sorcerer 5 for haste since the haste you got from warlock is only once per long rest.

Been binging some of your videos as I come back to the game to trophy hunt. Love the content, pacing and communication. Keep it up.
