Giant Barbarian vs Death | BG3 Honour Mode

Video Description

Spoiler Warning: this video contains spoilers for Act II of Baldur's Gate 3. Most BG3 Content that I see covers build guides, or even solo runs. This video is for the person just looking to get their golden dice using a regular party without minmaxxing or exploiting while also being entertained. This video should give you an idea of how to route Act II of Baldur's Gate 3's Honour Mode and how to approach each of the encounters with a regular party. I am using the (relatively) new Giant Barbarian Subclass that was added in Patch 8 of BG3. I am mostly following Morgana Evelyn's frost giant build but dropping the chest for unarmored defense. Here is a link to Morgana Evelyn's original build guide video: https://youtu.be/PO5TdvMgrXo?si=H7v2IHn2MWkMPnRP As for the rest of the party, they are all mono-classed using the new Patch 8 subclasses (except Karlach who is a Wildheart Barbarian, and Astarion who is a Thief Rogue and later an Assassin Rogue/Gloomstalker Ranger). I am not the best player, and I probably don't use the most optimal possible gear. If you are interested in the most powerful/reliable builds, I would again recommend referring to Morgana Evelyn's build guides, linked here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iqPT3rGJ6-YFtMNot5GGkIVCYUS_hMjf/view Shadowheart Radiating Orb Explanation: At 28:20, I made a quick reference screenshot graphic for the gear used by Shadowheart throughout this video. If you are unfamiliar with radiating orb, it is a condition that progressively decreases the enemy’s hit chance for each stack of radiating orb. The Holy Lance Helm synergizes with the Coruscation Ring to stack even more radiating orbs on enemies as they continue missing attacks. The Boots of Stormy Clamour synergize to make your enemies fall prone, since the radiating orbs trigger reverb. In short, once you cast spirit guardians while wearing the gear shown in the graphic then nothing hits your team through Act II.
