I had this happen when I fast traveled back to an Act 1 area while the Halsin quest was active. I got his backpack in my inventory after fast traveling and then he disappeared completely from my camp and Last Light. Had to reload a save to get him back.
I cheesed a major boss fight in Act 3 with Thunder Wave. Still got the loot, too, because the baddie was supposed to "escape" after being reduced to 0HP and got put back on the map.
Ladyhawke, Excalibur (this one is much more R rated than most, it features an on-screen rape in the first 5 minutes), Legend, Labyrinth, The Princess Bride, Krull, Conan.
The 80's were really a heyday for fantasy movies, weren't they?
There are two battles before the final boss. One is the courtyard you are at. The other isn't so much a battle as a harried sprint to your objective. There's another restoration pod at the door to the boss. Go ham.
Edit: The final boss fight is not a gimme, though, so don't use up all your consumables on the way there! I went into part of it expecting a victory lap and got my shit packed.
I'm in Act 3 of Baldur's Gate 3 on my main run and keep proliferating new playthroughs instead of finishing the game.
For the fight in Grymforge you're talking about, there's also an opportunity to get some of the duergar on your side, which makes the fight a lot more manageable.
Also, the game never explains this, but you know the buttons in the bottom left of the screen during cutscenes? You can use these to trade with characters that don't normally have an option for it, to switch party members to sneak around while the one in conversation distracts an NPC, or to attack before a cutscene finishes playing out. Doing these things can affect the outcome of game events!
Their character is the druid.
Unfortunately, I don't think you can put a new thing into the bottle, but it would be hilarious if you could.
Yes, you can use it like a Pokéball.
Lmao, I just did that fight on my evil playthrough. Scraped through on Balanced due to Shadowheart's special Darkness spell, a minor zombie apocalypse, and abusing potions of speed so Minthara could dump four smites per round on the boss.
I always get static shocks really bad at the grocery store! I think it's the cart wheels making a Van Der Graff generator effect. I get a zap every time I touch a shelf! It would be nice to not have to deal with that.
