BG3 - Don't Make These HUGE Mistakes!

With the pouch tip, it's a great way to more easily throw healing potions. Put the potions in the pouch then you can open pouch and throw them from the pouch inventory instead of having to open your main inventory to do it.

I learned you can heal by using Throw and throw a healing potion at someone. It explodes and boom! +hp!

A guild wars commercial!!! I need to play again.

Me: gale use this shield! throws a shield at him

Is BG3 on xbox?

Huge mistakes? These are more like basic tips.

My husband just brought me this today and im waiting on it to finish downloading. Ive never played this before so this is a big help. Thank you!

If you have a weapon that is versatile, with shield you deal less damage then without shield. Yes, people forget it all around, but there might be that reason into it as well (staff is one example even tought he doesn't use it for hitting)

Crazy how much u can interact with everything in this game

As someone new to the BG universe and games like this, your video SAVED ME! The trap trick and the potion trick in particular are huge life savers for a newbie

How do you make sure everyone will be in combat when you have ungrouped and start combat?

My tip is not to reload safe files all the time and just go with whatever your story turns out to be.
Please, at least for your first playthrough :*

You can also throw the potions between the characters (dont throw it ON them) :)

Itd be nice to see some of these for the Deck.

Alt. Right click! Blerg!! ;)

Why is it 5 questions? Seems arbitrary

For pc not console

bro that hitting a potion thing on the ground is HUGE holy. im so mad this could have made things 100% easier lol

i never bother to organize my inventory, i just tab and then search for what i want. the game lets u use items from other characters inventories

How to use squirrels for animal Talk? Where to get them?

some of those tips would be useful, but I play on my ps5, so I don't know how to do these things there

Added tips
Don't forget to pick up the Speak to Dead Amulet early on. It's in the same room you meet Withers in Act 1 inside a chest. Plus when you use it, you don't need to expend another spell slot after the first casting. I don't know if just having the regular spell works the same way, but I always keep it around.
Make sure you're playing with a balanced party to cover your bases. You're going to want a tanky character, a skill based character, a magic user, and a healer. If the people in your party can check multiple boxes, then even better. Seems pretty obvious if you play plenty of D&D, but I made this mistake by having my Tav (a sorcerer) in a party with Gale, Wyll, and Astarion. My party was getting clobbered on the regular and since none of them had healing, I got game overs a lot in Act 1. Went through the entire Goblin Camp with this because I didn't realize Karlach was a party member, so I didn't recruit her until after that point. Similarly, I was talking to my brother, and his party comp was his fighter character, Lae'zel, Astarion, and Shadowheart (he forgot to recruit Gale, Wyll, and Karlach). So yeah, make sure your bases are covered and don't forget to recruit as many origin characters as you can.

With potions there is no need to place them on the ground and hit them you can just throw the potion and it will do the same, you can also use the to res a party member from range by just throwing a potion close to them, make sure who you are targeting it in the splash zone. Another fun interaction is if you are facing anything that does a ground area smash you can place potions as defense, example a health potion at your feet when a large enemy uses a smash attack on you then that potion will heal you. Got that tip from a streamer who revived them self in at the forge in the underdark when they made a mistake in battle and was stuck under the forge's hammer with the enemy you encounter there. She triggered the forge with a firebolt and smashed herself and the enemy killing both of them but she revived thanks to the potion.

Also a nice one I use when I am facing something my party is really bad at facing or an enemy we are not exactly on lvl for, I fill a backpack or a crate with anything explosive or damaging when broken, alchemists fire, poison, bomb, grease bottles ext. Then throw that bag towards the enemy / group of enemies you want to delete. The bag breaks and everything scatters on the floor, make sure you have some explosive in there target after to start the chain, then fire anything to ignite the chain. My personal favorite is a fire arrow for the splash fire that has never failed me, a firebolt has once or twice. Do note that depending on how many items you put in the bag when that chain starts you system might lag a little. Do note that this does not seem to work with pouches, I have not had success with those as they don't break when you throw them. Along with barrels this is my trump card to end a troublesome fight quickly. Used barrels to end the grove fight in a single round when I made a mistake after that fight that got me killed before saving causing me to have to redo the fight.

My mistake was putting on the clown makeup and now I can’t remove it. It’s glitched on my face. Every single cut scene. I look like this. 🤡 GOD HELP ME!😭😭😭





I did try to fix it. I went to camp and had my boyfriend take my character for the long rest ( the game was made under his account) that didn’t work. Nothing works. IT’S BEEN A WEEK!🤡😭

It feels like every tip video is for pc wheres the tips for console players?

Sorting Items in Party View. How could I miss this button for so long?!

Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑) GW2 is still a thing?!?! I thought it died nearly a decade ago! 🤣

2 of the greatest games come out, BG3 and Starfield and I cant play either one becuase I have Xbox One...summ buulllsh!t 😫😑🙄😒😪🤣😆

You need to do 10 reasons to stop playing this functionally broken game larian is refusing to fix

34 hours before I remembered the quick save. Fuck my life.

Can somone interpret the keyboard controls into ps5 version?

one thing you missed out is that equipping shields will reduce your max damage of the weapon you have equipped, so while you are indeed getting more protection with the shield you are also reducing your max damage.
That inventory decluttering is truly something i needed to know, with all the crap i pick up i really needed to know that i could use the pouches that way.
Heres another important thing to do, manually save from time to time otherwise you gonna make a mistake somewhere and you find your last save was 2-4 hours ago 😂

I have been going through beginner guide videos and this is the first one that is a guide to the game and not to D&D in general. Like, I already knew how Bards work. I needed to know how to organize my bags. Thanks so much!

what to do with objects that DONT show up with alt?? some are super useful like barrels with good items!! this is really stupid...they should be highlighted

Free tip:
allways swap to your secondary weapon at the end of the round.
if an enemy uses "drop weapon" on Karlach, I rader she drops her bow.

Really handy stuff, thank you for putting this together!

Where is "ALT" on the PS5 controller?

I know this sounds insane, but are you Portuguese and have I missed it all this time?

how are u switching between character inventories without clicking on their profiles on the left?

speaking of using environment, you can take out every one of the goblin leaders without fighting if you either shoot a bridge support or push them into a pit. 'shove' is a useful skill

Half of these tips are something the tutorial literally tells you lol

the potion hack is sooooo amazing

What buttons should I press if I’m on console? You used buttons like Alt and Shift but you didn’t say what the correlating button for controller users would be.

If you haven't discovered the "glitch in the matrix" in the game, which i am praying is a hidden easter egg. Ill be posting the video very soon, just waiting for comformation from BG3 dev's. It's either an Easter egg and/or simply just a glitch in the matrix lol.

Overhyped don’t buy it.

Guild Wars 2, lost me with the first Buy Expansion, the mounts. Because they did their classic move from Guild Wars.. Lets break all builds and force them to buy the expansion.
Done. Not playing that game with companies anymore. That is also.. when most left.

dunno if somebody already said that but as of now after the new patch potions don't give splash effect to everyone anymore, or at least it happened plenty to me that they didn't

I’ve identified traps and they keep stepping on them so frustrating 😢

Wth... i was not expecting out nowhere a guild wars 2 moment hahahaha I play the game for +11 years and came here for see about BG3... what a good surprise XD

as a dnd player If i crit fail at a check then i will own that failure
