Some viewers may find the following video disturbing. Viewer discretion is advised.
Hey everyone, welcome back to Board Games Unlocked and Bailey and are continuing Balders's Gate 3. We just got done beating Kath. I can't believe these bodies are still here. Oh yeah,
I think it's crazy. Like the
even the bodies like from like the first area would still be there.
That's impressive.
There are come please on the chair.
All right, Withers. What's up?
Shadows yet.
The dead three united under the cover of darkness. The balance. The way he looks at us, he looks like he's like,
"There are deaths to this."
Super high unpls possess souls?
I don't know.
I don't know. Do they
Forget that. What are you?
So, what happens? I'm assuming he just shows up if you even if you don't go talk to him. Like, what happens if you just don't find him? I don't know,
right? Yeah. I don't know what would happen.
He probably just shows up. Hey, what's up?
I'm in your camp now.
I'm a god.
I shall ask yet again. Doithids possess souls.
I do not. No. I haven't thought about it. Thou shalt think about it now, and I shall give the answer. Mind flares are soulless.
Oh, wow. You're [ __ ] racist.
Yet.
Wow.
The three amass anthid army void of apostolic souls that could imbue them.
It withers. You forgot to light one of the candles in the back.
A flock without souls. Yet
he's like, "Oh, hold on, hold on. Reset. This is the question thou must come to answer. Until such time be availed of my services.
What?
Yes.
Bane, lord of darkness. Bal, lord of murder. Merkel, lord of bones. Once judged, ascended, then vanquished as one and as three.
The alliance is reforged. Mortal, the plain.
Well, didn't we just kill Merkel?
Yes.
And the gods shut up.
I think it's Merkel. Yeah.
All right.
Whatever. Withers. Well, that was all fine and good, you know. I cannot believe we did not level up. Oh, dude. We are all 207. Like,
oh, wow.
I'm like I'm right there. I'm I need 207.
You're just just edge. I need 307.
And more than
a I don't know. He needs 582.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah. What a loser. I mean, I guess it makes sense if we're doing most of the stuff. All right. Can we go to camp now?
I think so. Everyone at camp had uh things above their heads when I came here earlier, but I didn't. I just walked past everyone.
Uh, I need to talk to you. And I'm just walk like, "Fuck off."
Except Lizelle.
Except Lizelle.
All right. Hey, what's up, Will?
Gods be damned. With that parasite in his brain, father could wreak untold havoc in the absolutees's name. Should Boulders Gate fall to the absolute, every one of the coast cities will be ripe for the plucking.
We're not just fighting for our cure. We're fighting for my father. We're fighting for the gate. We're fighting for all of Fyun. Okay. Mizora said you could say what led to your pact in exile. This time I know the whole truth. But first, a question. If your home were under siege, what would you sacrifice to save it?
Oh, nothing. I hate I hate my home.
Yeah, [ __ ] the home.
Yeah, that place could burn.
I could never be so disloyal.
I don't even know like where I'm at.
Or are we all from Balders's Gate?
I think so. I think that's the main Grand
and was called away to Elterell to help settle a dispute.
That's when the cult of the dragon made its move. The cult of the dragon.
Hey,
religion.
Some believers hold that undead dragons will inherit the world. Others worship the dragon goddess Tiiamat and intend to summon her to Fyun.
That'd be cool.
To conjure the dragon queen and lay waste to Boulders's Gate. A 10day after father left. I heard a whisper as I slept. Dusk Hawk Hill. The queen of chaos awakens. Go alone. I grabbed a rapier and set out. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. Yet not a single star was shining.
Rapers are terrible.
There they were.
The foot of the hill.
Like in real life or you thinking just in Boulder's Gate?
I think in like fantasy games.
I think it's just a kind of a waste.
Uh yeah. I don't I don't want to I'll paint the clearest picture I can. Below the mount, I saw five totems with dragon heads carved on top. Each head held a massive orb in its jaws. Around each totem, five robed figures were chanting. First softly, then loud as a banshee's whale. There was a crack of thunder and a gust of wind. A storm descended, and one of Tax appeared from within. I kind of wish I'd let him show me
his lips against you crosseyed.
That same cannon whisper.
She will destroy Boulders's gate.
Grant me your soul and I will give you the power to save it. She read the terms while two devils stood witness and I said yes. One soul for one city.
Like a stupid choice. Uh yeah, it's H.
Yep, that's
She didn't. She came on order of her mistress, Zariel. Tiiamat made a play for power. Zaryel had other plans. That was the most ever said.
That sounds like a way more interesting story.
Got her prize.
You are correct. Team
added to her.
That sounds way more fun. Fighting dragons. Oh yeah,
this game doesn't even have a dragon.
I was about to say I'm like, does it not? That's so lame.
We see him. We see him.
Oh yeah, we do. Yeah. In uh at the Grove, you can look through the
Yeah. See the cut scenes?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's about it.
He returned to an unsuspecting city and a wayward son with a smirking devil at his side. I tried to tell him the truth, but my mouth couldn't form the words. I'd led him to the battlefield, but Mazzora had swept it clean. After he said only one word, go. So I did. H Okay. Goodbye. I think Carl's the only one that ah the Alberon the and and Scratch are still playing. You saw Gortage, didn't you? What the [ __ ] was he doing down there? Is all of this because of him? The t
Oh, yeah. She hates that guy.
How?
Um, I'm It's been like two days and I completely forgot who Cort is.
The heroin addict.
Oh, okay. Okay.
Yeah.
I'd never have protected a Bayite even a decade ago. I looked after that [ __ ] with my life. I trusted him. He gave me away to Zariel without a second thought. And now he has to die.
And I'm going to be the one who kills him.
Not if I kill him first. He can't get away with what he's done to me, to us. He won't get away with it.
I can feel
I can feel it.
The engine is getting louder.
I can feel it.
Louder. I I feel like like it might burn out completely and soon if I don't find some way to fix it.
Yeah. Yeah. You know, Zary may have put a [ __ ] thing in,
but Gautach go for the go-ahad. You expect this [ __ ] from devils, but not from the people you care about.
Not from It's a shame he turned to heroin.
Got business there I'm highly [ __ ] keen to attend to.
All right. Um, just saying, uh, there's a few scenes like we we probably won't have Carlac with us. Um, since we have Jiara now, but uh, Carlak should not be involved.
Okay.
It ruin it ruins everything.
Oh, hey, what's up?
What's up, dens?
I had to go through and rew arrival with great anticipation.
She [ __ ] everything up.
Okay, cool. I will step closer. You're so hot. My voice rattle your bones as I proclaim our victory.
Yeah, rattle my bones.
Maiden Saluna, hear me. Katheric Thorne, traitor, Apostle of Merkel is dead at last. Blessings upon the first time I hear the word Merkel, I only think of Merkel. Like,
it's like, okay, why did I have to get close to you for you to scream that in my ear? I'd have taken gold over a prayer.
Uh, this is true.
We are a powerful party indeed. Fyun itself trembles at our touch.
Okay, you kind of got evil there for a sec. Seems like it.
Our thoughts are as one, my friend. You must face the chosen of Bane and Bal. I will do my part to see them laid low. Um, okay. So, you didn't really tell me to say yes or no.
No, she didn't.
She just says we think the same.
Hey, you and I mind meld.
Anyway, you got to go do this.
The dead, too. Remember,
are you coming with me?
You must face them.
I will help.
Pray, ask, and I will tell. um
a century of it. I have mourned her.
I wonder if I wonder if she can if Isabelle can live or if you can prevent her from
when I saw Kethic had made her live again.
Oh, you can his
You just don't blow her up.
You just don't blow her up.
If you save her,
if you save her like when you're fighting that
angel guy.
Yeah. Which by the way, we never see him again. Um great wise eyes or save her from him.
He did not fancy an immortal for's mate.
She's also locked like in like that kind of spell thing.
I was the last.
Oh, this is that's a lie.
Sorry. What?
Yeah, that was a longed thing I didn't really want to listen to.
Yeah. Yeah. You basically you save her from that and she never go she never has to go to the tower or anything and then you rescue her and they [ __ ] and like are very
what can I do for you?
Oh, okay. What's up, Asterion?
Um, let's see.
The thing that will decide my fate forever more. Yes, it's been on my mind. Why?
What was that [ __ ] like? Why? That was like so overly sarcastic. Oh, the thing that's that will decide my fate forever more. Yes, you [ __ ] idiot. Yeah, I think I have been thinking about it. Um, uh, I just I just I just want to know what your intentions are. That's all.
I hadn't really decided on the specifics. Obviously, we could stop the ritual or not. What? I've obviously thought about it. If I was the one who completed the ritual, I'd have such power and I could walk in the sun without fear I'd turn into a mind flare. I don't know if that works. Um, you think a mind flare parasite would turn a high vampire?
Uh, in this style setting,
don't even know if I could complete the ritual. It may be impossible.
Maybe. I don't think it's tempting. Um, all right. Why?
Why? That was so [ __ ] funny.
All right. I don't really want to talk to anyone. I finally want to go to bed and fully heal.
Fully heal.
Probably have a weird weird uh wet dream with my
There it is. Oh no, nothing. Interesting.
Oh, the shitty camera angles. Got it. Oh, hey, scratch.
The dog wags his tail, a small bag clenched between his teeth.
Give it. Yeah, he's so well behaved. He's such a good boy.
He gives in and surrenders his final bag of poop.
I'm going to pet him. He's my favorite.
Scratch his tongue lols out happily. His tail wagging even
as I'm digging into his flesh with my sharp gauntlets.
Yeah.
And oh, and Scratch is dead. Oh, cool. I got some sandals, dude.
Wow.
Pristine mesh toe sandals.
He was really generous and got you sandals. He Oh, hey, I have Kath's Warhammer. Do we want to give that to anyone? Probably not. No. All right. Send to camp. Send to camp. I mean, we have so much money. It's like, send to camp. No one uses a sword and shield. Uh, send to camp. What am I wearing? That's so heavy. I don't know. Nothing else is like sticking out. Huh. I don't know. Any potions I can make? No. Okay. All right. Well, I'm leaving.
Uh um talk to Hson right here.
He's just hanging out out here for some reason.
Oh, hey. What's up, dude? You prevailed, my friend. Now your path takes you to Boulders's Gate. But I cannot join you.
You [ __ ]
Out there. The curse still thrives. I failed this place.
What the [ __ ] We did everything you asked.
Now I must remain behind
and stand watch over it.
You have to come. I need you.
This place needs me. I wish it were different. I truly do.
There's just nothing I can do. Nothing.
The curse remains.
I have to stay. Why? I have to.
Someone has to look at someone has to watch it suffer.
All right.
Okay. Well, thanks, Hson. I mean, we got a we got a chick that's probably better than you anyway. So,
we leave the heart of the absolute alive. Thanks to you, you did well.
Look at my [ __ ] claws. Jesus Christ. Catherric was only the first to fall. There are many more battles.
Look like I'm coming.
And they will not.
That's how you either look completely zonked on Xanax or you look like you're about to nut.
Um,
yeah.
I don't need allies. I have
an asset to you on the journey ahead. The Harpers.
What Harpers? We killed them all.
To succeed, we will need others.
I
If the buildings are demolished, there are always survivors. There are always those who will fight.
Alder's Gate may not know it yet, but its fate is bound to ours. Dude, it'd be so funny
if we tried to play like the heroes, but we just keep making bad decisions that like
have horrible consequences.
End to the absolute
frozen all.
Okay. Why does it feel like I mean I know we're heading into act three, which is the, you know, the end. Um, but it feels like
the road to Boulders Gate is west of the town.
Like what am I trying to say?
It feels like there's a bunch of stuff that's like
may be gone
that should have been done in like maybe act one.
Um cuz it's like I mean there are three main enemies it seems like. you know, the the the Baines of all these people like we just killed Katherine in act two and there's two more.
It's like why didn't we fight one of them at the end of act one and then you know the other one at end of act two and then yada yada instead of cramming it all into the final act.
Yeah. No, they did it all in one.
Wait for me.
Yeah. I'm going to wait right here.
Yeah. Oh no, don't wait. I'll wait once we start down that road.
Okay. Let's go.
Oh, wait. What?
What?
Perhaps we could have lifted it.
Oh, every single time I've came through here, there's been people here for us to fight. Oh, so we didn't go through and destroy the uh the Githani [ __ ] stronghold. Nope. No, we actually got like an update that uh here. Let's see if I can find it. There was something that I thought it said like advance without doing something with the Gith Yankee.
Yeah. Yeah, that was that was uh the thing. Lizelle I talked to Lizelle at camp and she was like, "Oh, you didn't do that? Well, I'm going to go I'm I'm leaving. I'm going to go do it." And I was like, "You leave. I'll kill you." She's like She's like, "You're hot." And
is that really Is that how that went down?
That's really how it went down.
That's so funny.
You're hot.
Uh, yeah. I don't know where for now.
I mean, we like why should just let her leave? It's not like we're taking like we're ever putting her in the party through.
No, but it's funny to go through and tell her she can't do something.
Two boulders, gate. Yes. I don't care about loose ends. Oh, finally
defeated the path ahead clear.
You should be elated. The sight of the land you leave behind does nothing to alleviate your sorrow.
What did we do that pain?
It cannot compare to Hson's.
Shut up. No one cares about him anymore. That just that quick animation of him being sad. I'm guessing we could have healed this place.
Yeah, there's a way. But I don't know. Like it's you help that shadow kid like
you do the shadow kid. You help the
the [ __ ] lady, the angel lady, and beat Kather.
Huh? I don't know. I don't either.
Well, another thing we tried to I figured it would be killing like those three three uh like big guys like the doctor.
I think that's I think that's part of
there's the rich kid heroin addict. He like acts like he's like still in his 20s but he's clearly like late 40s.
Late 40s like pushing 50s.
Like that haircut is not doing him any favors. No, that's a badass. Like bad.
That's a badass haircut.
Like bad.
Then the word ass like it is assation for my inauguration are complete.
No, Lord Gortasha. We were interrupted. Another quake in the lower city.
More severe this time.
So you came cowering to my chambers. I'm flattered, Sergeant, but even I cannot command natural phenomena to cease. Forgive me, my lord, but there is panic in the streets. The people are afraid.
Perhaps the people would be calm if you kept your nerve. I expect better from the flaming fist than to run scared from a slight tremor in the earth. Get back to your duties.
Duties, duties, duties. Patrolling and saluting and following and bowing and scraping. Yes, sir. No, sir. rib and cut your throat. Sir,
your plan is falling apart. Lordling, give me a reason not to cut you to ribbons.
Uh, yourself are in
this dick.
We need to focus on reuniting the stones or the brain will break free.
These quakes are
Oh my god. What the [ __ ] was that?
Expected.
They'll be traveling to the city.
Let's make sure we give them a Bulurian welcome. I itch to peel you, to split her skin, to see your skull shine in the light. Little tyrant. Lucky for you, I harvested a whole family of living flesh in Rivington at High Sun. They will sate my bladethirst tonight. Oh god, you smell like ass.
My blades will thirst again. So, there was a uh a quick clip of Matt Mercer talking about um trying to make D&D dark and how you can only push it so far because you just have players who will naturally make okay um make it like a joke or try and have fun. So, you can't be too serious. And that could not be more true about this game for me. Like, it feels like it wants to be very serious and stuff, but it comes off so edge lord.
Yeah. So, like
like I want to peel your skin. It's like, oh god.
In uneasy silence, one sleep away.
Hack three. And then there's like shuffling forward.
Um, but like with not Mercer like there is like Sorry, you were just like you're just right in my crotch. Now it's just us two. Oh, I like this view. That looks cool.
Really nice.
Anyway, sorry. What What were you saying? Um, but like with Matt Mercer, like how he says that, like, yeah, that's definitely true. But you can find a group of people that you can like really pretel like, hey, we're doing this. It's a super serious, super hard, like this type of thing. Let's try to be serious with it. like you you can
you can't I feel like that is that would be good for like that group alone, but like it it's like could you imagine trying to listen in on on a uh like on a D and D campaign that was trying to be way too serious about everything.
I mean, it would be harder. Um,
but I also think that this game I don't know if I I just I don't know. I don't know. I feel like if I were playing it by myself and just kind of like letting myself get absorbed into it, maybe I wouldn't have as big of an issue with it. But we'll never know.
Yep.
We will because I'll never I'll never play it again. I will not. Is this our camp?
Yeah.
Oh, okay. Let's see.
Even though we just slept.
We did.
Um, Asterion wants to talk.
Does he? All right, Asterion, you're the only person that we're like doing his main story for.
Yeah, but his main story is actually good.
I I am legitimately intrigued. So yeah, he's probably going to say something to be like, you know, before he's, you know, he comes off as a little bit like Tim Curry. Uh, before we go into Balders's Gate, there's something I must do. Oh, yeah. What is that, Asterion? I must nut in your butthole. All right. [ __ ] I guess
the gate is closed.
Pretty close.
As is Kazador. Kazador and his right of profane ascension. An imperial suare attended by devils and spawn alike. A grand ceremony to honor one exalted vampiric master.
Why is he still so mad him to an unfathomable station
to place him?
I I don't know position of such. He seems to be super angry at Kazador, but he wants to be exactly like him
to kneel.
Oh, yeah, he does.
Offer their necks.
Ah. Haha.
Of course, I envy him.
Why wouldn't I? The problem with what Kazador has done is that he did it to me. So,
if the time comes and I can see ahead of him, I'll take his place
before his blood can hit the floor. Um, let's find out more about the ritual before we waltz into Kazador's front door. If we track down my old comrades, the other spawn, we may discover more and be finally positioned for yours truly to ascend.
He's like in my if it was me, I would have done the exact same thing.
And but the only reason I'm pissed is because I was affected. And it's like, you know,
that's
that's a fair fair way to look at it. It's that's just a it's overly typical.
They'll find us likely with bad fangs. We should get to them first. Then we can make their pretty tongues.
Oh, okay. Interesting.
As Kazadors change their orders, they'll be in the dens of this town seeking prey.
All right,
that was it.
Now we have to admit. Can't wait to uh kill Asterion.
No, we won't. We won't kill Asterion. Shouldn't kill Asterion. I should say shouldn't.
No, we shouldn't.
I I No, no, no. Like, I don't think there's a thing that pops up to let us kill him.
Like, if he goes to become a high vampire, is that just like, oh, hey, now we have a powerful vampire on our side.
I I think so. Yeah.
Okay.
Cuz that's what I did for I did that to one of mine. I let him the last days weigh heavily upon you.
We kept him a high vampire and then on my me I killed or uh stop is not a god
stops the entire thing so no one could do it by the dead three.
They mean to use it to take control of the sword coast.
All who carry the tadpole are governed by the brain and by extension the chosen. It will take but one order to transform them into an army of mind flares. This would have been your fate too were it not for the dream visitors protection. With her help, you have uncovered the cult for what it really is. A plan of conquest orchestrated by the gods of death themselves. Together, you have the power to thwart the dead three. If you follow this path to its end, the Elder Brain will not answer to the chosen. It will answer to you. Will you liberate them from their parasites and their religious delusions?
Why does that moon look like the exact same moon from Destiny?
For your own purposes.
It's like an asset that they just stole.
It really is what it looks like.
Uh, sure. Do
not have long to wait. All you need to do now is sleep.
Talk about sleep is not for you.
No noise, no nothing.
Join Yeah. What the are these Joplin, Missouri meth addicts? What the [ __ ] is that, dude? That's Or Florida man.
Florida man monks.
Fight your way to the portal. I need your help.
It's so [ __ ] funny. Uh,
okay. These guys are really uh strong, so we can either Yeah. Unfortunately.
Well, let's beat their ass.
Well, we So, we have three turns to get to the portal up here.
Oh, like all I think all of us have to Why can't Oh, path is interrupted. I'm like, why can't I shoot him?
Oh, well, got a critical on that person. Nice. What now?
I think we can do it. I like how I hover over or not. I guess I'll just critical miss.
Like gets a critical hit for the first time,
right?
And you're just like, I'm going to miss. Come on. You got this. A
I mean, did you teleport? Oh, no you didn't. You had Oh, man. You You had her just book it away.
Yeah, I had her get up there.
Okay, I'm just going to try and kill him.
That's fine. Well, I'm going to with Kyle. I'm going to go through and kill these two.
You deserve this. You deserve that for having her run off.
Come quickly. I can't do this without you. Oh my goodness.
Magic missile on these two. We'll kill them both.
Yeah, I need to do this first though. We're going to do see how far magic missile reaches. I think. Yeah, perfect. Go to here. Good thing we can all misty step.
And then this guy on me.
Oh,
hey, you leveled up. I also leveled up. We all leveled up.
Yay.
More are coming. Hurry.
Yeah, it's it's because
we all become ths.
I'll be right back.
I wanted that because uh more people more of them show up over here.
Oh, really?
Yeah. Yeah. So, I wanted her up here. So I could do this
and a dull moment.
Start [ __ ] fighting these guys next turn or at least like knocking them away.
Can you move her out of the way? Uh, I can't. Uh, cuz I'm trying to go like right there. Oh, okay. I guess somehow. Oh, I see. I see. Why do I not have enough movement, but it's telling me that's So, I'm trying to miss the step, and it's like, nope, not enough movement to miss the step within this zone. Whatever.
It's weird.
It's fine.
Nice.
And I should do 15 damage.
Or I'll do 11 cuz of course I will.
I've been doing, you know, 15 damage like pretty much.
What the hell are they doing?
They're punching you. literally fisting you,
dude. God damn. They get a million attacks.
They do. They have so many [ __ ] attacks. Uh level whatever. Oh, level nothing.
Yeah, level nothing. No, this one. This one right here. Let's bump it up to a three.
There we go.
There's that one at least. Okay. And or not. That's cool, too. Don't miss me step. That's fine. Okay. So,
are you Oh, you're behind it.
Yeah, I'm behind it.
I was like, oh god.
And I can't.
How do you activate it?
I think we all just have to be within
Hurry. Yeah, there we go. We just have to be in a specific area.
Oh, okay.
Come to the skull
of it.
All right. She's Oh man, Jihira, you have not slept well.
Yeah. No,
going to blow and soon.
Oh yes, blow.
Oh man, got to give us our math.
They are They are like,
dude, that is like Yeah. Florida man drug addict right there. This looks cool. Yeah, this is a really cool scene. I'm glad we just stood there, you know, mute, didn't [ __ ] do anything just to watch this.
Oh, this is a skull of a dead god. By the way,
I'm here.
Just follow me. I'm under attack.
Um, are we in combat? We are.
No, we
Oh, we're not. Okay,
I'm not in combat.
Okay, cool. I'm going to level up then.
We are.
Okay, cool. Don't move from where you're standing.
Okay. I'mma level up then.
Yeah, I didn't level up.
Level nine. What does that get me? Indomitable. I have become as dur whenever you fail a saving throw. I can roll again. Oh, that's nice.
Hurry.
That was it. That's all I got. And more health. And he got infiltration expertise. Adopt a new identity. Changing your appearance. Okay. Don't know how that would be helpful.
Okay, so
I need you now.
Oh, I was going to say I can hit short rest.
Yeah, I didn't think I'd get into a combat going up on the top, but it still activated it as a combo.
Oh, I Okay. Well, I guess I'll just go on in. Oh, wait. So, are they just all
Yeah, they're just Oh,
watch your back.
Oh, watch your back. Can I shoot them? Are they just outside of my range? Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. As soon as you jump over there.
Well, so much for peace.
Well, so much for peace. See, they even gave us dialogue whenever we click on our characters. Why Why not just have us [ __ ] talk or react or make noise, make any [ __ ] sound?
What are we doing? I think it's your turn, man.
Yeah, it's Jara. I'm getting her into
Oh, that'll do. I Okay. Did I kill one of them?
You did.
That's what I was waiting for. I leveled her up and then did that. That's so funny. I can't hit her from here.
Jesus Christ. They're so [ __ ] strong.
It's so stupid.
Why? Why did they get a million attacks?
They're monks. The monks at this level get I think four or five attacks. So like Yeah. Step quick.
I won't give in.
Okay, I'm going to attack and hope should kill her.
Okay,
come to the skull.
All right, now I'm going to level up Kyle real fast. What level spells do you have?
I have level uh four.
That's it. me.
Yeah.
I'm assuming at max level you get up to five.
Yes. Six.
You get up to six.
Yeah. Okay.
So, I only have five because I'm only at uh four right now because I have that one level of fighter.
Oh, yeah. I forgot you.
Yeah. That's literally the only reason why.
Got it. I'm going to Well, I'll wait till you level up and then I'll hit short rest.
Yeah. Yeah. supposed to get a new spell.
We can't hold them off much longer.
Shut up. You will wait for us.
We are leveling up. Do you get it?
Yeah. Can we please get cooler? What is this one? Okay, try this one. This one. Oh, and I get a [ __ ] feet. Hell yeah, dog. By that, I'm just leveling up my
I need you now.
Shut up.
All right, go ahead and short rest. Okay, baby. Short rest. Max health 103.
On my way.
All right, let's go. Let's jump all the way over there. Oh. Oh man, that sky that that space areas that looks really cool.
I'm here. Dad,
I think I'm like I It shows me next to you, but I think I'm like one or two things behind you. No, not the brain things that have like 2 HP.
Okay. Who the [ __ ] are these people?
Yo, we'll we'll find out here in a second.
Before you do anything, I am your ally.
I know, Dad.
We are in danger. The guilty protection against the absolute. I must subdue him or everything we've worked towards is lost. Don't let my form deceive you.
I am the one that's been protecting you.
Ike is out.
My players look cool.
I am the one that came to you in your dreams. Help me. Uh,
die monster.
I don't believe you. You're a mind flare. Uh, well, you know, that's a choice I wasn't expecting.
Yeah,
that's cool. That's cool. There we go.
How do you want to proceed?
If you can't hear me, I'm clapping. Um,
you saved a child from a viper back in the drone's grove.
That definitely happened.
You saved the Asima night soul from her.
You blew up the harpers.
Continued existence and not a mind flare to be all the proof you need.
Now help me.
All right. destroy the god. They prevent me from securing their master. Do it.
Either this he's he's correct and oh, you know, I guess that makes sense as to why he wanted us to use our powers.
Yeah.
Um, okay. This is a cool decision. I'm digging it.
Yeah.
Together, we can turn the tide.
It's not over.
Yeah. Um,
come to the skull.
I'm like, what the hell?
I was hysterion.
Jesus, dude. You're so far up there in front of everyone.
Yeah, apparently. Where's everyone else?
Me and uh one spot back like two spots back.
Yeah, dude. We so far behind.
I don't think I can attack any of them, nor do I have misty step anymore. When do we get bonus? Uh when do we get bonus actions back?
Bonus? Well, the the that's a once a day or the long rest action.
Once per turn.
The missing step. It said short rest.
Does it say short rest? Oh.
Uhhuh. Okay. Okay. Okay. Can I Let's see. Pushing. Ah, damn it. That was real. Oop. Can I do it again? Can I do it again? I still have movement. I don't want to target myself. I would like to. No, you can't knock him off. That's so stupid. You you can. It just didn't let you. Like that's that's one of the ways that I beat this low. I beat this area once.
No, it's not letting me. I guess that's not an area. This area is not an area you can jump off.
Gotcha.
Okay. Or be pushed off. Okay. Well, I'm probably going to get [ __ ] over here.
You You are so far ahead of us. You are definitely going to get [ __ ] [ __ ]
So [ __ ] stupid. I'll get us over there as fast as I can.
I must want to [ __ ] restart cuz like I'm going to get dropped. Hey. All right. Oh, well, I'm dead now. I'm dead. Oh, one of us missed. Why are those even here?
Oh, it's just two of them and then the guy in the middle. Okay.
I Those are there literally to just Oh, nope. There's a guy up there.
Four. There's Yeah, there's four of them.
Yeah, just to be cannon fodder.
Yeah, just be there for a second. All right, finally. Um
Jeez, the fact See, what's stupid is you're so [ __ ] far behind. Why are you in initiative?
Yeah, that's also really true. Okay, let's see. I think if I if I dash as an action, can I get a farther jump thing? I cannot. That's garbage.
She has a [ __ ] thing that lets her jump once per turn. Extra. Oh, [ __ ] Yeah, Jiara.
Yeah, that's so [ __ ] Okay, so Jiara at least is here with you.
Okay, good deal.
Oh, yeah. I gave her all of Carlac's movement stuff. So, she just is, you know, the guy uh the cop from the Kotti with a Chance of Meatball. That's her.
No, I've never I've never seen that movie,
dude. You've seen the meme at least of like the the
I think I Is it the one where it's like it's enough to make a grown man cry?
Like, is it is it I I
again I have not seen that movie. I watched Big Hero 6 for the first time like a year ago.
Never watched it.
It's okay.
It's It's fine for me.
Do I have a [ __ ] thing of flying? I don't think I
lame. What useful is all these [ __ ] scrolls, but I don't have the one thing I want.
Do I have a scroll of flying on me for no reason?
I don't know. Let's find out.
I don't. I I don't. I have a bunch of potions that I should that Well, I actually used one of them against uh Merkel. Merkel. Merkel. Oh,
every time it cuts to black, I keep thinking of cut scenes happening.
Okay, so we have Oh my god, the emperor is level 12. Good thing we didn't fight him.
Yeah,
I guess we would have had probably to get the Yankee on our side.
Where's Lizelle? Liselle, can you talk to your peeps?
No, she would. I think she turns on us. Oh, probably. She's a stupid [ __ ] Oh, hey, there. There you go.
Yeah,
I forgot I have one of those. I will probably have a stereion. Use that.
I think that's all I can do, though.
I'm at least here now.
Dude, what the he like abandons me.
Yeah, he also leaves. He's like,
destroy the honored Oh, man. There's someone up there. I keep thinking there's like two of them, but then
Yeah, there's four. There's four of them. Oh. Jeez, that person just Okay.
Okay.
Like a punch me from a distance.
Must have advantage. Can I hide?
I can. Okay. So now I do have advantage. So I think I can do air of construct slaying. Undead deals double damage to constructs. That doesn't do anything. That's good against Hey, don't don't let me forget I have an arrow arrow of arcane interference that breaks concentration and sil and does silence.
Nice. That we will need that later.
Okay.
Nice. That's good.
Okay. I think I'm gonna keep aim back here if if this person's gonna stay.
Yeah. Do you want me to move me closer to you?
Uh, no. I think Jiara and I can if you and you and Asterion deal with Zeir Gishra.
Yeah, the guy next to us.
Yeah.
Do that one.
Okay. So, let's see what I got on me now. Oh, once when you kill a foe, you gain five addition once per turn when you kill a foe, you gain five temporary hit points and an additional action. Elixir blood lust. It's pretty nice. Interesting.
Uh, you know, we have these. Might as well use them. Oh, he saved against it. Dang it. Let's lacerate your ass. Let's Okay. God, every time I try and do just anything, I miss anything cool that's not a regular attack. What is resonating key? What is that?
Um, let's see. It is
Oh, all right. I'll Is that Oh, 18
resonating key. Is that like something they're going to do like an AoE attack?
Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
Dude, I'm I'm regretting us picking Jiara. She kind of She kind of sucks.
It's not that she sucks. It's the fact that they just [ __ ] overly just targeted her. Like
they Yeah, they have done that pretty much since we added her to the party. It's like, oh, focusing on on her. It's like, okay. But she always goes down. I kind of miss uh kind of miss car lag just for that. Well, she also went down super easy.
I don't know.
Did that [ __ ] hitting me?
What did that save against it like chaining to that other person? Yeah, I He's a [ __ ] monk, so I'm assuming he has evasion, so he made his deck safe, so he took no damage.
Okay, fun.
And she failed, so she only took half damage.
Yeah.
Oh my, dude. Monks are [ __ ] stupid, dude.
Piss me the [ __ ] off. Well, I mean, there's a good AoE attack over
I'm That's exactly I'm going to drop one on them. Uh, which one am I going to use though? Let's see. Uh,
dude, I'm at half health already and we haven't even done anything to Orpheus. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. Uh, where the [ __ ] are all my spells at? Did I Okay. Okay. Well, apparently I dropped some my [ __ ] fireball off and I don't remember doing that.
Yeah, that's true. Um, pretty sure all we did was sleep.
I don't Yeah, I didn't. Besides when I leveled up, I didn't change anything. Maybe when I leveled up, it reset.
I can see it doing that.
Can too. Okay, there's 18. That guy says taking no [ __ ] damage.
What is he like? How do you check? I can't Oh, examine.
Yeah, examine.
Um, and entity has advantage on physical checks and disadvantage on mental saving throws. Your mean to falling damage and jump distance is tripled. Slowfall dominated. Yeah, 10 rounds.
Is there someone on our side now?
Yeah, one of their guys are on our side. 10 rounds.
Hold person on Aarian though.
So, I'm going to drop his concentration off of him.
Hopefully.
Hey, there we go. He's immune to malice for I don't know why. Okay, I'll take that. And then I'll second wind. 18. Nice. I'll take that.
Oh, he broke his domination.
Oh, that's nice. Cuz of course he did.
Oh, and he's and he's not going to attack the emperor and just come over and attack you. What the [ __ ] Why?
No,
dude. I I don't even know. Okay. Wow. Did you hear her? What a surprise. You went down. [ __ ] you. I love how we got dominated and it's like, "Hey, 10 rounds, you dominated." Nope. I broke it.
Uh, let's see. This is 16. No, I don't want to hit him with that anymore.
Wait, why did the not get to go?
Oh, he's held. He has hold person. I thought that just meant I couldn't move. Yeah. No.
All right.
Of course.
Oh, yeah. I broke it.
Oh, you did break it. Okay.
Yeah, the last one broke it.
I just saw three successfuls in a row.
Oh, I killed him. Yeah.
Yeah. Broke his neck with like your stick.
Just two of them. Just [ __ ] beat his ass with it. I must regain control over the Kyakani prince.
Well, then go do that. We have this island.
What did What was that?
What the [ __ ]
He like ran over just to move away to get opportunity attacked and held person.
Dude, that that's it's kind of okay.
It said saved, did it? Let's see. Yeah. Where is it? Like
yeah, it said uh Asterion failed
the he failed.
It says failed, but it on screen it said saved. Yes.
Um Oh, no. No. He saved against the clutch of the north wind. And then there's a separate attack that does the exact same thing. Of course.
Okay.
That's cool.
Well, okay. So, they're dead. I can't go pick her up, nor it doesn't really matter if I do.
So, it's just this this guy left. So, I would just go ahead and Oh, I was going to say just go ahead and just [ __ ] him up.
Uh, well, if he's dominated, we'll see. Hopefully, he can stay dominated for two seconds. Oh, okay. I guess I'm out of it now. Wait, where's the other chick?
We killed them all.
Oh, we did?
Yeah. Yeah, it's just a dominated guy left.
Yeah, both of them jumped over towards uh Jiara, remember?
Oh, okay.
And [ __ ] pissed her.
Not enough movement to shoot. I love how it says not enough movement to attack instead of out of range.
Yeah, right. Cuz
again that would make me think, oh, I just need more movement
and
but no, you need a whole 30 more feet.
How do I not I [ __ ] this game, dude. How do I not have advantage against this guy who has his back turned to me and is dominated?
It's a good question.
There you go.
Broke out of it. Time for him to come attack me. Oh, or Asterion. Oh, well, Asterion's dead,
dude. He critted twice.
Yeah, of course he did. Why? I mean, why wouldn't he? We get one crit, you know, every four combats.
This guy's doing it like it's [ __ ] going out of style,
right? Oh, wow. Two 20s in a row. Yeah, that's easy. Uh, let's see. What do I have to [ __ ] this guy up? I don't think I have anything. Ah, [ __ ] it. Let's do this one.
Ah, I'll heal eight.
Subject to get Yankee quickly.
Oh, hey, there we go. Oh, now you're going to do something.
I'll go pick her up.
Can't even catch my breath.
All right. So, something going to happen if I go to attack this guy?
Can I not even attack him? How do you attack him?
You You don't We We shouldn't have to fight this guy since we We're We're stopping the githani from freeing him. We should just have to kill this G Yankee and
Oh, okay. I thought we had to attack him.
We don't want him to be free.
I see. Starts sucking on his toes. Oh, he's he's imprisoned. I gotcha. I thought he was like doing some spell.
No,
thank you. That was too close.
No, you're a mind flare. End of act three.
I am a mind flareer. Yes.
End of act three.
Without me.
There's actually hidden force act that you didn't know.
And so we should swoon and offer a kiss abomination.
I would not even know where to plant it. Dude, either she got hit in the both [ __ ] eyes or she's just not sleeping well. So,
it's me or you?
It's me. I'm just deciding which one I want.
Um,
since she talked, I was curious.
Yeah, I I don't know. Guess she just had to step in. And
you may call me the emperor.
I'm not going to do that. An adventurer, I came from Boulders's Gate. Though I was never one to be constrained by circumstance,
I longed for more.
Brought me to Moonrise towers on a search for treasure, to a colony of mind flares who caught me, changed me to what I am now. For years I served the Elder Brain, the one you know as the absolute.
Oh,
I was a throne like any other. But I was fortunate. I broke free and started.
Wow. How'd you do that? I just did.
Yeah, it doesn't give you any information.
And they let me leave.
Glamorous, but there are plenty of them. Rare missed. and they fueled me when I did my work. I had the good fortune to meet Juke Stillming. We formed a partnership and through her I became the governing force behind the knights of the shield, the largest merentile operation in Boulder's Gate. People referred to me as the Emperor. Such was my influence, though of course they had no idea what I really was. We could do
I know.
I was happy for a while until my true nature was discovered by the tit.
Hello. I'm here, father. Look at the thing behind me.
He torn me from my home and brought me back to the brain where I became a slave once again. A slave he continued to call the emperor. It's a brain with a crowd
intended as a slight.
Yeah, that's the thing that
the heights from which I fell.
They slightly mentioned it.
Fond of it. It encapsulates well who I've become.
Yeah, they slightly mentioned it a minute ago. Um like during Kthrax, you know, the 3 4 days ago when we did this.
Yeah.
Um but they mentioned it that the crown is what controls them.
Oh yeah, they did. Yeah. Um I like how you can get stuck on Did you really have to eat those criminal brains?
Yeah. Like none of the cosmic whatever of the elder brain or anything. Uh did you really have to eat criminals brains
and then the then you can just bypass everything and just say so they get the spear.
Yeah.
What is this? We fought to tame Prince Orpheus, the son of Gith herself. His power has been the source of your continued protection against the voice of the absolute. The power to disrupt hide mind communication. It is the same power that enabled Orpheus's mother to bring about the fall of the Elithid Empire eons ago. A power she passed on to him and that I leveraged for you. When Orphus's mother left, a user took her place. Blackath declared herself queen of the Githani. Blackth wanted his power, but Oreus rose against her. And so she sealed him and his honor guard within this prison.
Bound by infernal chains, Orpheus could never leave. Bound by duty, his guard never would. They were close to breaking my home at prince. And if they had succeeded, we would be lost. I am relieved. You have embraced your potential enough that you could help me eliminate them alone. Orphus will be much easier to control. You
know what's funny?
They never once through this entire game mention why you.
Like why you what?
Like why you like why did they pick me? like our characters to do this.
Uh because there's there'd be no game. I mean, otherwise like
like most other games like when they're like, "Oh, here's this main like here's this main thing you did. We chose you because you're blah blah blah." Like,
oh, like, oh, you're you're an you're a dragon born or you're like an heir or something like we're just regular people that
Yeah. And they just happen to choose. They're like, uh, those guys that uh that I they're I'm them. It's them.
Like, out of all of the people that like were on that ship or like who had the mind flares inside their heads, why us?
Yeah. It's just one of those weird things.
Because a video game needs to be made
to answer.
True.
It all is ruined.
Like, oh, because we have made a private for a video game. Yeah, we really wanted to make B3 and the chosen found out about it. This is impossible to explain, but it was important enough to them that Gortach sent me to retrieve it. The moment I found it, I felt a change. My free will returning. I followed the feeling inside and found Orpheus. I realized what the prison was for. Containment. While my body was within the prison's bounds, my mind was free. I could resist the Elder Brain, the chosen. Better yet, I could plan to overthrow them. All I needed to do was subdue Orpheus and find allies in the outer world.
you.
Oh, maybe maybe we could say why us. Nope. Yeah. No, it just doesn't.
There may come a time when that is necessary. But there is no guarantee that his power would survive his passing. The risk is too great. The moment his protection is gone, you would become enthralled to the Elder Brain, just as I would.
Oh, but we could break free like you did. But in this brain, we are already the same.
Jewels in its design.
That almost sounded like the same voice actor as Asterion. I'm nothing like you, you freak. Ew. Let's get out of here, guys.
We're like in other ways, too. Here's my penis. Uh, okay. Well, I don't really like any of these options, really. Sure. I appreciate that. But this is what I am. My original body was destroyed when I transformed. When I first escaped the Elder Brain, I searched for a new vessel. But the longer I inhabited this one, the more it grew on me,
and the chicks love it.
I realized that returning to my former self would only impose limitations. Any advantage I could gain by restoring my original appearance, I already had to hand in the form of magic and that humanoid shape you've come to know. As Analithid, I have far surpassed who I ever was before. You too should embrace this change.
Nah.
Uh, okay. I believe we'll have a better chance of defeating the Elder Brain if you embrace your latent lithic potential. I've been studying you for a while now. I believe I can trigger the next stage of your tadpole's life cycle while continuing to preserve your independence. You have seen what I can do. Imagine yourself with the same strength, the same intelligence, the same devastating beauty. If you let me, I can evolve you.
No,
I understand. Let us hope then that your
I like having my big old orc penis
with three gods of death and a giant magically enhanced elder brain.
He's like, "Yeah, but now you get four on your face. Dude, is this a tooth?
No, it's it's a [ __ ] worm, but it's like
look after
uh
use it when you're ready to
It's albino.
I go and just eat it.
Uhoh. You're supposed to to become an olifid.
I don't want to.
Now, do we all have to do it or could you choose to do it? I think I could choose to do it.
Let's not let them reach it.
We must bring the
I I did it in one of my runroughs. I like fully embraced it and uh yeah, it was like it pretty much uh I had to talk everyone else into it.
Gotcha. Come on, guys. You had to peer pressure them to do to do tad litha drugs.
I did. I was like, "Hey guys, hey, you want to do this? It'd be really cool." like, "Don't you want to be cool?"
Like, I got Lizelle to do it and she's like, "I don't want to do this." And I'm like, "Just [ __ ] do it so we can have sex." And she's like, "Okay."
Yeah. Cuz of course. Uh, okay. Well, I think that is a great place to stop. Uh, I like this this one. This actually had me intrigued.
Yeah, this is this is where it gets a little bit cooler. Um, it's just a shame you have to play for like 40 hours to get to the fun, good storytelling part. Um,
but yeah, everyone, I hope you're enjoying. Stick around for the rest of the series. Like, comment, share, and subscribe, and have a wonderful whatever time of day it is for you.
