This was filmed and tested as on March 1st 2024 so everything is working on the current patch. I will update this pinned comment with any changes.
I am still on act ,1 hag's hair and was able to go see rolan and initiate the cape fyi.
When getting feats for camp caster Gale give him tough. Regarding what gloves Astarion should be wearing…I have him wearing the Flawed Helldusk gloves when it was time to take on Yurgir.
You've helped me so much! BG3 is now one of my favorite games! Thank you sir.
Thanks so very much for doing these videos. Its appreciated.
Halsin died in my playthrough despite getting the dialogue from him about killing all the generals. I didn't do the celebration at my camp with the grove people but did talk to Halsin at the grove. I didn't realize Halsin died until after talking to Art about Thaniel and the quest log said that Halsin had died. I was looking forward for him to be in the party.
i cannot talk to rolan or get mattis unless i go back like 10 hours of save files is there a way you can explain how u actualy got mattis to apear? cant find any info other then talk to rolan anywhere
and i realy liked your playthrougth of act 1 and realy want to get that cloak if u can help please
Lmao my Minthara is also just hands and a head
Hi SwoleBenji thanks for the playthroughs. When will act 3 be up?
Now we just need the act 3 guide. Love your videos bro
U can pls continue showing lae'zel build i preferred playing
I didnt find matiis also what to do and by the way thanks for everything
new sub here! great vid btw, just curious if you have or plan to come out with a vid on how to get gold without the use of the backpack exploit? Dont know if it has something to do with recent patches but on console I am unable to put items inside it to do the glitch. Thanks in advance!
Still working through the Act 1 video, but had to come and drop a like out of respect for the work it must take to produce this series of videos…
I'm looking forward to getting stuck in to Act 2!
Thank you SwolBenji can't wait to dive in.
Should I eat a goodberry before each combat turn or just one before a fight?
For the kuatoa fight you can sneak in; to detect the ambush and reveal them. Then cast lightning bolt from the top of the cliff without triggering combat. 3-4 lightning bolts can kill all but the one one inside the hut. This abuses the fact that lightning bolts range is much greater than 60. Works fine in honor mode.
We all love you
How do you get companions to group in camp? When I select one the other goes back to his tent
2 items that should be mentioned to grab in Act 2 you don’t mention but were in each area to grab 1) killer sweetheart ring and 2) helm of arcane arcuity
Your first walkthrough made the game way more fun for me, looking forward to following this one. Thanks for all your hard work SwoleBenji!
Hope you desire to do act 3 sooner than later , the content you made for this play though is legendary! And was also a lot of help lol
ACT 2 GUIDE FINALLY OUT
Amazing guide mate, loved it!
Insane timing!

Dang. Ive been following the act 1 video step by step for about 2 weeks, bummed that i would have to keep waiting for act 2 once i got there and after literally JUST finishing the act 1 video i see act 2 video is up! Appreciate the vids bro. I messed up a bit in act one not understanding some things and accidentally long resting too early for certain things lol but im learning alot for my first playthough. Cant wait to finish and start other builds with the knowledge ive learned!
