MODERATORS
Still muddling through my BG3 Dark Urge Honor Mode achievement-hunting run. I'm in the first part of Act I and nearly caught up to where I was when I died during the first attempt last weekend.
It's bad enough that I started a checklist that I can re-use when I inevitably die again. So far I've spent over an hour hurling goblins into a pit in a last-ditch attempt to hit level 5 before I take on
mild Act I spoiler
Kagha and the shadow druidsI've also got a bunch of pre-Mountain Pass Act I cleanup to do before I press on. I also have no idea how in the hell I'm going to take down the bulette. I already had no luck with luring it into the hook horror encounter by the sussy tree; I only got in one attack (that missed) before it burrowed and ran away. I guess there's the patrolling minotaurs. I think I'm saving that fight for after I have some more gear anyway, especially if I manage to score level 6 while still in Act I. (Don't judge; it's Honor Mode -- overkill is the name of the game. And also cheese.)
Edit: I am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty goblin camp will never be purged away but with blood.
There's no point of fighting the bulette really, even with glut rez it's annoying to navigate terrain. Minimal XP for effort and crap loot. Just run from combat each time.
Minotaurs are easy though. Spectator is much more dangerous in honor mode. Make sure to hit a petrified drow with a ranged attack to spawn it and avoid the surprise round from the cutscene. Keep your team spread out. That's the only dangerous encounter in the underdark really. Grym can be killed by keeping a player up above and chucking down random objects for bludgeoning fall damage, bring lots of heavy things.
I stumbled ass-backwards into the Bulette fight two nights ago and figured eh, what the hell. I had it down in about three rounds. Well worth the 150 XP.
Spectator was surprisingly easy. I did lead off by throwing a water bottle near one of the petrified drow, and that tripped the surprise round while I was well outside combat range. I took it down just fine in my previous Honor Mode attempt, too -- it made the mistake of flying all the way into the fort, where I had Lae'zel and Astarion waiting to tear it to pieces in melee.
And yeah, for Grym, I've been saving every pair of shoes and boots that I find as random loot so I can lob those at him. The only caveat is that you can't get the killing blow with a thrown item. Or, rather, you can, but you miss out on XP. Ring of Flinging + Gloves of Uninhibited Kushigo + Returning Pike on my fighter ought to be good for a laugh too, in spite of his piercing resist.
My new problem is that I haven't triggered the owlbear cub moving to the goblin camp yet, and I'm debating whether to take out the goblin leaders and gamble on him showing up at my camp on his own, or just persist in the doomed world that I have created. Ah! Well. Nevertheless,
