Can You Beat Baldur's Gate 3 using NOTHING But Summons? Act 2

Well, here it is. Still a fun run, but definitely getting a bit annoying with the amount of actions and load times.
Cannot imagine Act 3 getting any better, but I will make my way through it, mark my words.

14:05 risking 5 oppurtunity attacks just to attack you once is definitely a "you pissed off the DM" moment

As someone who's actually named Connor, I LOVE that Larian finally put respect on the name by making such an op character

A trick to killing zrell is that once you originally talk to her when first entering moonrise, she goes to her room that only her and 1 floating eye see. If you kill the eye, she usually doesnt notice, so just close the door and kill her while she has no help and is suprised. Helped my honour run so thought I'd share.

The Mountain Pass and the Underdark should be called Act 2 of this giant game. The Tiefling Party really feels like finishing off Act 1.

I love Wyll just saving the world only with his weird ass pokémons

[kitasukirimi]

These cutscenes really suit Wyll, serious main character energy coming from him. I can’t imagine how his dad would react to his newfound friends though 😅.

I used a Druid for my recent play through and was blown away by how good the dryad was. Cool to see some respect on her name in this vid. That staff bonk goes crazy 😭

You can actually heal undead summons directly, unless it was recently patched. I've not played for a month but in my last session I found out that summons have an inventory when directly controlled, and you can pick up dropped potions and drink from the inventory menu. I tested it with bulette and a minotaur which glut resurrected, and then tried it with Connor and a generic raised zombie. Elixirs also worked, and I gave bulette a colossus potion which was hilarious! Definitely give it a try and see if it works.

I'm currently playing a necromancer wizard in act 3 and my summons stomp every encounter. Currently it's just 4 flying ghouls and the 5 you get from danse macabre. I use the abyss beckoners you get from the zhentarim hideout in act 1 as the only summons in the game who are completely immune to demonspirit madness are the flying ghouls and the danse macabre ones. I believe this is because flying ghouls would act weird while under madness and the danse macabre ones aren't directly controlled, but just follow you around. The deva does have a very high wisdom save and can pass this check frequently but they like to fail it at the worst time unless you give them heroes feast. The ghouls and flying ghouls with resistance to everything except psychic are sporting an effective health of ~160 with aid and heroes feast, with the flying ghouls healing off prone/sleeping targets for half their health every turn. The only problem with this build is steel watchers are immune to prone so if you wanna try this to cut down on the amount of summons, find a way to deal with the foundry first.

Great challenge run video. I learnt a lot about the game that I wouldn't have otherwise and now I might have to play a spore druid.

FINALLY BRO! AS A SUMMONER/CONJURER ONLY PLAYER I HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THE SECOND PART <3 THANK YOUUU

[TiredFrog-yywy]

As soon as I saw this was posted I immediately ran to watch. Bouch never disapoints <3

undead creatures can be healed by using aid (which increases max HP and adds the value to your hp)

casting aid again reduces the max hp (leaves your normal hp at the same spot it was as long it doesnt exteed your max) and adds the max hp with the healed amount again
feel free to heal undead and credit me :D

[zanuka]

having kar'niss as an undead follower is insane, i love it

[giacomocasartelli]

New challenge: can Connor solo honor mode?

[Greyjoyful]

banger video as always, these weird runs (esp with honour mode bosses) really make me consider how to apply certain strats to my own save haha. excited for last part!

Regarding the lady who wants the egg, you can cheat her and give her the owlbear egg (from Act 1) instead.

Ketheric will change his mimd even without nightsong being alive

[carsonw]

You make me think about this game so much differently. You’re the man
