9 Hidden Spell Interactions in Baldur's Gate 3

I have a good tip I don't see many (if at all) bring up. Not a spell interaction but if you use "Dash" 3 or 4 times BEFORE going into TBM you can easily get almost 50m movement in a single turn. I think I capped at 48m.
Edit - thats with Longstrider but without monk movement. So w Monk you can go even further

Would throwing a weapon refresh the Freecast ability?

The unarmed strikes while wielding a weapon thing is technically a bug but I think that’s how it should work so I’m gonna use it. Like if you have a free hand you should be able to make an unarmed strike. It’s silly that the game forces you to make a weapon strike when you aren’t even holding anything in your other hand.

dang, these just keep popping up! thx for sharing the wealth

I personally think Hunger of Hadar is one of the best spells in the game!

These need not to be patched. Technically this is an online game, but its single player mode. Therefore needs no patch on any of these. Hear that devs! If you put a pvp arena in the game then dont patch these pls. Thx.

why u bare freecast glitch?((( now u ruin all the good times for casters... thx for showing larian this HIDDEN INTERACTION.

Take a video about this , The world is now ruled by one community of people, the world Satanic elite, you can also call them the committee to meet the Antichrist and prevent the 2nd coming of Jesus, Trump called them the deep state, at the moment it consists of about 10,000 people, the main ones there are Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Windsors, Baruchs, they, their ancestors, descendants and other people who enter there have the mark of Lucifer, which, if they bring the antichrist and do not allow the 2nd coming, they will receive eternal life after the x hour, and the rest of humanity, for all the time that they have lived, they won't get anything, so all people should know about the existence of a world government (Jesus who was a The Prophet of God, not God.God will send Jesus as a reward to humanity, if humanity deserves it, for this it is necessary to fight Lucifer and his elite)

Thanks for the great content Toyhouze !!

Kinda odd he's only liking comments that are heaping on praise, and not also giving attention to those offering valid critiques, like how some of these are exploits, not tips. One shouldn't just respond to positive attention, that never bodes well.

Spike Growth + Hungar of Hadar. They can't jump or mystic step out of it, and have to walk over the spikes, whilst slowed down. Consider the large radius of the abilities. Initiate combat, retreat to a chokepoint, drop the abilities, voila! Even on honor mode this works well.

the fun police complaining about optional helpful tricks or abilities they don't have to use is peak lol.

I'm confused is the VOE thing a bug?

Freezing water that has an expiration timer seems to make it permanent when the ice melts back into water

The cleric: I'm out of spell slots... and my free cast.
The Barbarian: take off worthless clothing... Will fix it every time!

Cleric: I don't think...
barbarian proceeds to rip the shirt right off the cleric
"Now try casting"
Cleric: It... Works! How the... Nevermind

Thing is, Hunger of Hadar has other ways of being super nasty: usually pairing it with Create Water, Sleet Storm, Plant Growth, Spike Growth, Insect Plague, etc., since it doesn't count as a ground effect the way ice, spikes, vines, etc., do.

I can think of at least 7 encounters starting late Act 1 that get completely cheesed by pairing Plant Growth and Hunger of Hadar together, and the really beautiful thing is Plant Growth has no concentration requirement, so one caster can have both to effectively reduce a normal move speed of 30ft down to 6ft, while blinding and dealing chip damage each turn. The usual rules of knockback work as advertised here, so you can make a thunderdome of fuggsh*t that can add up quick.

You also don't need Helldusk for the Bear Heart shenanigans, Adamantine Scalemail also has DR attached (though it's only -1 to all damage), so it's possible to take the 28 of a Fireball and reduce it to 6. That's Medium Armor, which means a BRB will get full benefits of Rage while getting DR without any seemingly odd interactions.

I want to point out that a lot of these seem like bugs, and Patch 6 is around the corner. Don't expect any of these to stick around for a while.

Those "interactions" sound suspiciously like bugs or exploits

I miss dos2s REAL spell interactions. Environmental effects and cool spell combos are sorely lacking in this game

Jesus Christ dude BUGs are NOT spell interactions, this kind of content becomes literally useless once something gets patched. All your videos are just scrolling through comments checking which tips haven’t been patched out yet. I want to like your content but honestly stuff like this makes it genuinely suck.

I thought spore servants couldn't cast spells

Discovering that you can self cast vow of enmity is a gane changer for me

right at the end you said duelists prerogative gives you an additional bonus action instead of reaction. I'm still struggling with reactions because you only get one it says but seems like sometimes you get more.

Just a note about cloud of daggers and moonbeam: if you have other allies in the fight that aren’t companions it’s worth being EXTREMELY careful when placing the spell due to how much damage it can do in so many ways

Great stuff, Toyhouze!!!

Great content, I’m really enjoying watching your stuff while playing through this game a 2nd time. I want to get that armor for Minthara, but it’s SO expensive!

"Spell interactions" (bugs)

Your videos are amazing, because you go straight to the point, no fooling around with stupid intros... but it´s kinda sad when you show the currently bugs and a way that the player can use them.

That no-main-hand monk trick can finally get my offhand Cold Snap freezing-dodge Monk away from needing Fangs of the Fire Snake or Ki Resonating Punch! Time to minmax all over again 😅

Side note: the recent hot fix patched out the "bag trick" for merchants :(

All of these are just bugs rofl

man this game is amazing

Only from the bear heart, or can i get the resistence by other means, like warding bond too?

Keep them coming my mush , i love this game , i hope we get DLC on the Armys of Absolute, have you video of rogue/ bar fighter for reduced incoming damage buff thank u
