...Explosive, made by Dammon. The Orthon Explosive is the only item that can cause infernal burning, and can be crafted from the Devilfoil Masks found within the Underdark. There are 4 total Devilfoil masks that can be found - one at the dig site in the Grymforge, where the cave-in happened. One at the foot of a staircase behind a wall of rubble, and two found in a hidden room with Hellsboars and a Merregon Legionnaire: one is on the legionnaire and the other is on the altar in that room. Once you have at least 1 Devilfoil mask, you’ll need to head to Last Light inn and speak to Dammon. He mentions if you find any infernal material that he can craft something for you and these devilfoil masks are included. After you hand them over, he’ll give you the Orthon Explosive - one for each mask you give him. And what’s great about Infernal Burning is that it cannot be removed by Healing Potions, Wet, or even the Help action. A truly hellish condition indeed.
Next up is a hidden interaction with soul coins! Usually, soul coins are supposed to grant Karlach 1d4 fire damage when she’s raging, or when her hit points drop below 25% - but for some reason, it’s also granting TWO additional instances of 2d4 fire damage when Karlach makes an Unarmed Strike. That means up to 16 additional fire damage per unarmed strike, and 32 if the target is vulnerable to fire damage. This is a pretty amazing amount of damage since soul coins last until long rest, and would be really great when making Karlach an Open Hand Monk.
Next up is Golbraith the Mind Flayer Hunter! A Larian writer sent this message to a fan:
The Glitter Gala, Bloomridge Park, and the Blushing Mermaid form a triangle in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate, and at its centre is Golbraith's Cellar - where the mighty Golbraith Stredivas can be found. A mindflayer hunter of great renown, he has since retired and now spends his days writing - in the hopes of passing his knowledge on to future generations.
This NPC has quite the background story, and even has a gift for you! Galbraith is a character based off a real person - when a fan wrote to Larian thanking them for releasing Early Access so that he and his father could play before his father’s Alzheimer’s progressed to the point he wouldn’t be able to play, Larian decided to show their support to those affected by the disease by adding this fan’s father to the game. And like in the message Larian sent, there is in fact a large hidden area in the cellar, but to get a very rare shield, all you need to do is talk to Golbraith and he’ll give it as a gift.
Next up is the Shield of Scorching Reprisal. This rare shield has a very unique effect on it called Blazing Retaliation. When a melee attack misses the wearer, deal 1d6 fire damage to the attacker. This shield fits right into a radiating orb build which reduces enemies' chance to hit per orb. The shield also grants resistance to fire damage, which is the most common elemental damage type you’ll run into, so this shield is pretty good! It’s also pretty hidden. To find the Shield of Scorching Reprisal, you’ll need to head to Last Light Inn and head North across the bridge. Once across go immediately to the right, and you’ll need one of your party members to pass a perception check in order to interact with some rubble. You’ll then need to pass a strength check to destroy the rubble, under which you’ll find a fallen Flaming Fist’s corpse - and on that corpse is the Shield of Scorching Reprisal.
Next up is the hidden Upper City Sewers. These sewers even contain a Death Knight and are found near the end of the game. Right before the courtyard fight past the high halls, there is actually a secret entrance to the sewers that lets you skip the entire courtyard fight. You can discover this if you use Speak with Dead on the Absolute cultists right before the courtyard and ask them how they got here. These sewers aren’t entirely a cakewalk though - you will encounter goblins, absolute cultists, undead, and Stalker Svigne...

The character of Goldbraith being added to the game is such a heartwarming gesture. Alzheimers is horrible, but for that fan to have a memorial to his father eternalised in the game, it doesn't quite bring him back but helps to conserve the time they had together.
With how hetic and time consuming game development can be it always warms my heart when developers go as far to include a whole npc. Borderlands 2 did the same thing and even today I tear up thinking about how wonderful it is to have a helpful beloved npc being apart of a good persons legacy
His dad isnt dead
@@doma7956he's probably not entirely there anymore.
So, in moonrise prison those gnomes get those clubs right, well they are cool cause they actually auto equip, so if take one to act 3 and save duke ravenguard you can reverse pickpocket the club into his inventory which should auto equip and will make his sword available to be pickpocketed from him.
What....I had no idea
Fun fact about the orthon explosives. You can get better ones.
If you decide to fight the Orthon in the temple he’ll throw out lots of explosives as a suicide attempt. While the explosives on the ground you can pick them up before they explode and use them later. They can do up to 60 fire damage a piece.
Don’t they explode on next long rest like Gortash’s explosives??
@@FrostyFyre Not on my play through. Still got them in act 3. Veeeeery powerful stuff.
Though with Gortash bombs I never kept them. I always just threw them at the enemy since… Its a slog to get to the top and there are perfectly good bombs sitting there, begging to be thrown at bane’s followers. Lol
@@roguelionproductions3030 last playthrough I just one-shot him with Blood Money after reverse pickpocketing $$ on him, mind you it's been updated so you don't get your money back now so I'll probably end up doing the same as you now lol
Im 950 Hours deep into BG3, having completed several Solo and Multiplayer playthroughs and haven't seen so many of these! Its insane, I feel like every playthrough I go through I learn or encounter something new, such amazing work from Larian. Great video once again! 👍
If you fight Yurgir in act 2 when you first meet him, near his death he will throw around like 12 to 15 of 'em if you hurry and pick em all up you are in for a blast
Weird. I'm about 875 hours and the only ones I haven't done is eating the mind flayer brain (never occurred to me), and I was unable to enter the Upper City sewer (the grate didn't break for me). Most of the rest I'm kinda surprised made the list, like the Umberlee cave, which I thought was pretty obvious. Half expected to see something like the Boaal worshippers or second mithril ore at that point.
Tbh in this specific vid it was the frog, duke's sword and Golbraith that I havnt encountered prior to the vid. Maybe im just not observant enough 🤣@@timhaldane7588
@@timhaldane7588 the only ones from the video I havnt seen were the frog and Goldbraith! Maybe my friends and I were just not observant enough lol
Infernal Fury’s “hidden” bonus damage is likely due to a 2nd damage source from the [Tavern Brawler] feat. It adds the damage a 2nd time causing an extra 1d4 fire damage to stack with the first/original damage source. Which means it’ll also apply to improvised weapon damage as well as throwing damage. However, this also means that without [Tavern Brawler], Karlach won’t receive the “hidden bonus” to damage from the Soul Coin.
But why wouldn't you use it? Also it bypasses requirement to rage or be under 25%, but I didn't know it would stack if that requirement is met that's actually crazy.
Also it doesn't look like you even need to use the soul coin. Or maybe it's just because I convinced karlach that it would be wrong to use them, but she never used it and still has the buff.
Blazing retaliation - You totally forgot to mention how to find it. You can use speak with the dead on Marcus after boss fight with him, you can ask about treasure and you will get coordinates.
You can also just add orthon explosives to your inventory from the ground when they are thrown at you
Don’t they explode on next long rest like Gortash’s explosives??
@@FrostyFyreIf you're talking about the ones from the fiend, they're safe to nab
@@user-ug9gq7zp9t really? Dang I thought I heard somewhere that once thrown they were set to explode and would go off on a long rest just like Gortash’s so I never even tried. Guess I know what I’m doing on next playthrough!
9:40 fun fact! If lae’zel isn’t in your party. Her event that makes you take a long rest doesn’t trigger.
Meaning if she dies or never joins your party. Everyone including you can hog your semi permanent bless buff for all of act 1 and 2. Just don’t die, or respec.
This is what I did on accident my first playthrough, my party was mostly martials, and with all those permanent buffs I felt like I couldn't rest. Bless + 1d4 radiant dmg + bliss spores + Shar's 3 blessings, I was unstoppable
So since everyone in the comments didn't comment on this. You know those masks you turned into explosives in the beginning? IF you choose to keep them, and more than one character wears them (at the same time), they all gain a unique hidden buff that ONLY APPEARS when more than one character is wearing them. It grants +3 to strength and -3 to some other stats (i think the spellcasting stats). Great buff for barbarians and other strength classes, as well as murderhobo runs. It may also add some other effects, but I don't recall what past the stat changes
It grants +1 STR for every other nearby party member also wearing a mask therefore you need all 4 masks to be worn for a +3 bonus.
It's a fun secret, but not very good. +3 str is not worth the collective -9 mental stats. Even if you don't have spellcasters, you will fail so many saving throws against enemy spells
I think the 2d4 fire damage from Soul Coin interaction with Karlach is happening due to Tavern Brawler Feat interaction. Try it with and without Tavern Brawler and you will see that it only occurs with Tavern Brawler. So this is actually more of a hidden interaction with Tavern Brawler and not Soul Coins. Still very cool!
When you save Duke Ravengard from the Iron Throne, you can just throw his sword and shield on the ground when you control him during the battle, and then pick them up with your characters.
nice i def need to try this
he didnt have any weapon in my playthrough
@@TheCaptnPlanet Maybe they fixed it, but it definitely worked for me back then.
another cool secret that I didn't know until my 5th playthrough is that there's a special level 12 cursed imp enemy in the game which is guaranteed to kill one of your party members if you try to kill it in one go by attacking it. It is found on a boat near the Steel Watch Foundry.
Oh yeah this is why I sacrificed a bunch of summons to kill it hahah
So there is a ring that is AWESOME for a Warlock/Pallock build character in Act 1. It's called Ring of Arcane Synergy. Basically, with this ring you can use your Eldritch Blast, and on the next turn you can attack and deal additional damage based. If you've got a High-CHA build Pact of the Blade character, that means you can get up to an additional +6 damage if you've used all your feats on ASI to max your CHA.
Damn. Missed the ring.
But it's also kind of silly how survival is almost only used for the random chests in the ground. And you can still just use a shovel to dig them out even if you fail the check.
Yeah. I feel like the missed a trick with Honour mode. They included the option to not get notified when you fail a check in Custom mode, but didn't put it into Honour mode automatically.
The fact Larian listens to their fans and works in characters like Goldbraidth is EXACTLY why they need to take all our support.
They truly did an amazing thing with this game
Omg, i went the City Cewers backwards because you can jump through the windows into the room... Finally after 350 hours, i felt like i outsmarted larian because down there is also this invisible helper wich does nothing? But again, i was mistaken ^^
You can get blessing in Umberlee Temple, just put some coins in thier chest and you get blessing till long rest.
Always cool your videos
last one was really insane and cool
You can just use astarion to steal Duke ravengards armor and weapon
In regard to the survival checks, you don't actually need to pass the check. Just go into your inventory, right click the shovel and choose start digging and dig where it gave you the survival check.
Most of these I knew, but I had no idea about the sewers. I need to try that!
OMG! some many secrets !
question: does the 2d4 on hand attacks work on honor mode? I know they changed up how the damage riders work so im curious still
also you can find the shield if you cast “speak with death” on Marcus’ corpse (if you kill him)! he will reveal it to you making easier to find the shield
You can also use Speak with Dead on Marcus and he will tell you the location of the stash with the shield.
When you control ravenguard, get him go throw his equipment. Have the character who released him, pick it up.
For the Duke’s sword you can just have him throw it when you control him in the underwater prison. Same for his armor.
Even if you fail survivor check you can just use your shovel to dig up the treasure anyway.
The devil foil masks also gives a hidden buff if your whole party is wearing them I believe
You can actually farm Orthon Explosives. If you disarm Yurgir completely in your first fight and bring his health to certain point, he tosses a bunch of them that can be picked up and sent to camp (about 8-10). Keep healing Yurgir and then bringing his health down to prompt the bomb spread. Yurgir, who can’t use attacks without any weapons cannot harm you, so feel free to repeat the cycle. That’s how I got ~160 of them and had a hell of a time.
Ideally, bring him to the upper level of his arena since the bombs will be spread in a smaller area, making it easy to spend a turn picking all of them up.
You can get a lot of the orthon explosives if you grab those Yurgir throws. Just grab them before the next round starts, or they will explode in your inventory. I Got like 10. They Were very handy.
You can kill ravengard if you fight gortash when you first meet him at wyrms crossing, loot the sword from him and if wyll is still on your party then mizora will offer a pact deal to wyll to revive ravengard.
The frog was a pain, really.
Wasn't prepared, the frog left my team in a worse shape than both the elemental lava and Grym (lower level, team needed a long rest to refill the spells and no more short rest to restore abilities).
For them i prepared illlmater arrows to prevent the regen in lava, elixirs and other and done. For the frog i was like "WTF ?!"
Ah i didnt know bout the mind flayer hunter and the alternate sewer passage.
“Hey, Wyll, lemme just borrow your dad for a bit!”
Grabs the duke and runs off…
Damn, first time a “secrets you missed” video where its actually hidden things
So ravenguard’s sword.
I had it where ravenguard was infected by a tadpole, so I had to kill him fighting gortash, but then was able to have wyll rejoin a pact with Mizora to bring him back.
If you ever fail 4 survival checks, just summon Spike.
Edit: or just randomly use a shovel.
There is a greataxe that can also cause infernal burning.
So for the first one, Yrugir or whatever his demon name is throws a ton of them at you and you can just collect them for later
Those are actually called Orthonic Handbombs and don't inflict Infernal Burning, just regular burning. But that's another cool find!
@@Toyhouze oh I'm sorry thank you!! I know they looked similar as well
@@BeauMN Yeah they look exactly the same and have almost the same name haha
When you help the newborn mind flayer and have all the illithid powers, you will instead be rewarded with the ability to fly. So you don't have to become partial-illithid to fly.
I actually didn't meet Goldbraith when I went to his house. Is he supposed to spawn some other place?
4:17 that ain't gonna look good in court Emperor lol
You can also get Bless on your party by making a donation at the temple of Umberlee. You can donate anything it seems, and you'll receive Bless
you can use oath of vengeance
vow of enmity on yourself to give yourself advantage for 10 turns, similar to the gloves of the automaton
Me and my friends got wiped by that frog.
That Shield of Scorching Reprisal is only Rare. It literally says it right on the video
You don't need to succeed your survival checks to find a buried chest actually: just use the shovel where the mound is hidden and you'll dig anyway.
I finally know what the point of those masks is!
Time to make karlach a tavern brawler moon druid with soil coin power
Kua Toa, the worstly bullied race in BG3 😢
There's a part in the video where your voice sounded like Kermit the frog lolz
Hmmm I found the easiest way to defeat that dumb frog was just throwing it at a wall.
prettyu sure ive heard the same dialouge somewhere else
Lore-wise Karlach is always raging in a fight. No surprise she gets the buff
8:28 ….. or just get a sorcerer/ fighter wizard with a hat of fire acuity, cast scorching ray to get bare minimum +6 to DC and spell attack rolls.
Then use quickened spell/ action surge to cast either 5th level hold person on 4 humanoids, hold monster with a guaranteed chance to land, or cast chain lightning with a scroll.
Doing it with the helmet just seems terrible. Especially since two stack are removed whenever you get hit.
But whatever. I’m not gonna be playing with it…
And for those going “But fire acuity hat is gotten from the ox at last light! Why would you kill him for it-“ maybe because I have yet to SEE THE BASTARD outside act 2. So if he’s gonna ghost me at act 3, I’m gonna have him do it offically.
The masks themselves have a hidden trait that gives x strength to the wearer where x is equal to the number of other characters wearing it within a radius.
after you kill Bullete it still talks to you :/
No it doesn't. Just recently tried this, if the bulette is dead the hole will not speak to you
If I'm not mistaken when freeing Ravengard from the prison once you gain control of him can't you just make him throw his weapon and shield on the ground then pick them up, no more complicated than that?
