- Here's another Lonewolf Tactician build for you. This time we're going for the Achievement Jack of All Trades. And to top it all off I'll be picking my classes randomly.
With a random assortment of abilities at our disposal, we try our best to show that a Master of None is the best build in the game.

I love the "Astarian disapproves" popup when you are killing him lol.
Astarian is THAT petty
To those who are unaware, you can get the jack of all trades achievement off of a hireling
Definitely the smart way to do it, but I like the challenge it can offer regardless. Might be best to do that in a multiplayer game though.
Great if you want to get the achievement, but I think it violates the spirit of the award. Doing an Abserd build could be fun once the devs introduce lone wolf buffs.
Yeah, but that’s insanely boring
lol whats the point then >.
You can also just never use a companion until you hit 12 and just level them that way
If you intend on using a shield, you can actually make an Adamantine Shield at Grymforge with another mold. It gives enemies 2 turns of Reeling on a miss.
Hey, thanks for the tip! I did end up making it and it'll be a big help until I get ketherics/Shar shield
@@Pheeonoh yea dude it’s super nice along with the fact that just like the other adamantine armor it also makes you immune to crits
Pretty funny because if you also have the armor they are doomed to be reeling if they attack you no matter what 😂
@@ttvkyberwolf6659 that doesn't work since they also both remove reeling on a hit/miss
The ribcage full of candles in your backpack got me
Out of all the people I've seen playing lonewolf, you are the only one recruiting all the companions and immediately killing them. Congratulations you psychopath.
So funny thing about survival checks for digging spots is that you can just USE the shovel from your inventory/hotbar. So it got to a point in me and my friends playthrough that whenever we failed a survival check we just used the shovel in the general area of the check and it just gives you the chest regardless.
Edit: shoot just saw someone also mention the shovel thing. Either way the tidbit about using shovels whenever a survival check happens is still good
Got like 4 playthroughs completed and didn't know this. Really frustrating when I know where most of the spots are but can't use. Thanks man!
You are a god send for spreading this. Was having some unlucky rolls in my honour mode run. Time to grab some missing chests
So the Survival check is basically just to tell you that there's treasure to be hand in the vicinity.
Check succeeded? The game gave you the exact GPS coordinates.
Check failed? The game essentially gave a blip with a metal detector.
Still not gonna meta-game this for the duration of my first playthrough.
I was thinking about this lol
Pro tip for underdark stuff, Mage hand can trivialize rescuing the dwarf from the mushrooms and can be used to pull the lever and twist the lava wheel during the grymforge fight.
But thats not Challenging enough!! Though I didnt even think about doing it with Baelen, good tip! I do like blowing him up though
You can also just use turn-based mode, the mushrooms don't react when you walk past them, only when you stand next to them during the environment turn.
For anybody going for the achievement. Go Paladin last. If you accidentally break your oath, that counts as "respeccing" (I believe it counts even if you don't officially become an Oathbreaker subclass)
while your box-jutsu is mighty, you don't need to ever fight or toss gut if you aren't playing a race who resists magical sleep (like elves). Just go along with what gut wants and drink the potion. it may seem bad, but you'll get some unexpected aid that handles Gut and her ogre guard. I'm doing a pacifistic run atm myself, and this was a nice way to get another Tadpole easily!
Was just about to say this myself.
13:00 Love the pannenkoek Scuttlebug Transportaiton reference, that deserves my sub
If I didn’t know any better I’d say you and Lemon from the Backlogs were either twins or best friends because your delivery, voice, thoroughness in editing and presentation, and sense of humor is almost spot on. He does like rogue like challenge runs (dark souls, salt and sanctuary, etc)
you can disable the lasers at the selunite outpost by hitting the crystal in the main statue's (the one actually inside the outpost) staff with 1 damage
And Shadowheart likes it when you do. Not very applicable to this run but still
@@sylph4252Most important part of it tbh
Destroy it after you killed the minautor, I ended up being able to fight it when it was standing on 3 HP, easy 75 XP. Of course you need to be fast because the minautor goes down kind of fast. Then destroy the crystal.
Helping the wifebeater with the noblestalk is WILD lmao
He'll give us cloud giant strength later! (I think)
Nan but hes not that horrible now 😂
I don't get why people are so bent out of shape over helping that guy. He made his wife do work and said mean things to her, okay so he's not a nice guy, she could have left him at any time. Instead she cursed or poisoned him until he was mentally challenged, then SHE made him do incredibly dangerous work and said mean things about him. If everyone didn't have this massive double standard towards the sexes they would realize she did everything he did, and more horrible things on top. And if we really want to be fair, we're only taking her word that he used to be horrible, but we can literally witness her being worse. What a G, the best is back baby!
@@papaAJ88 We see him act a fool if you give him the noblestalk, so odds are good that we're not wrong that he's abusive. What do you know about marriage in Faerun?
What's the double standard on justice / retaliation? =x
This is an amazing video dude! I learnt so much about how to strategize in different ways. I was a bit nervous to try out a tactician run but some methods here are so good! Great explanations too! Keep it up. Definitely looking forward to ACT 2
Dude I just found this video and your content is AMAZING! You're doing everything I've thought of and been like "hey, that would be fun"
fun fact: You can dig up a spot even if you fail the check, just use your shovel somewhere vaguely near where it usually it and it will work
love this idea, hope you continue the series!
Fun fact about the Grym fight. The wheel will turn if it takes damage. Meaning a well placed arrow will allow lava to flow, or even companions
9:56 fun fact:
You don't actually have to detect the dig spot to dig it up, so if you know where a spot is and have a shovel if you just use the shovel where it should be you will still dig up the chest. Very nice for future playthroughs.
Great video! It kept me from boredom while I'm very sick. Just so you know, since you're a human, you can let Gut kidnap you. Raphael will panic and send his minion to free you, killing Gut and her ogre. Your way was really clever too though :)
Dude your videos are awesome, i have already watched all of your challenges back to back 3 or 4 times.
Now do it again 😈 (thank you!)
Not sure if this has been commented or not but whether or not you pass the check for dig spots you can use the shovel from your inventory to dig them!
This video was so good! Hoping to see more from you soon
And good luck on your run!
Thank you! I'll probably shoe horn in another act 1 I wanted to do before making the act 2 vid
@@Pheeon take your time! No need to rush yourself
Crazy video, good job!
I am shocked that nobody else has seemed to figure out that you can demolish Minthara and get her loot by standing on that platform with the two ladders near the bridge
She and the nearby goblins can’t do anything but throw a few rocks and after that they hide beneath the platform and are completely free to AOE damage (I prefer to unwildshape Halsin and Call Lightning, but throwable grenades and arrows also work, just take even longer)
This should be a challenge!
Bard Cleric Wizard Warlock Druid Sorcerer Paladin Ranger Monk Barbarian Fighter Rogue is sort of viable. You get a ton of good cantrips and 1st level spells, plus Wizard spells to something like level 3 from scrolls. Your gear, scrolls, and barrels fight the war for you.
this is more or less what I did but I started Sorc for the con save proficiency and went rogue at level 7 as my first melee class to get persuasion/deception expertise just in time to get the Thorms to kill themselves in act 2
I did it. I used companions that also were level one at everything. You can clear most of the game with eldritch blast alone.
Fun video! Good stuff!
The cuts back to you in the bed while balthazar was fighting was KILLING me lmaoo
I'm glad I found this video, I didn't know how to muliclass without withers
Oh boy, this is gonna be good. Can't wait for the other parts.
That is quite Abserd
20:59 i mean you COULD eat, but you could also save camp resources by doing partial rest
But please sir it's been 6 days since we long rested :(
I saw this live, awesome!
Yet another banger
Thanks for the content👌👌
Thanks for the comment :)
I will subscribe, When you mentioned it, the subscribe button lit up and my neurons activated.
Looking forward to part 2 in the shadow curaed lands!
really cool idea for a run. Should be interesting to see.
Don't forget, if you fail your survival check you can just, you know. Dig with the shovel anyways!
WHAT I didnt know that tidbit lol. Still feels good to actually get the check. I'll have to memorize all the spots now
As long as you use it within the area that the dirt mount surfaces, it'll work yep! Just right click the shovel and dig. @@Pheeon
your videos are really enjoyable, keep up the good work
Thank you! I hope I can keep the longer videos coming
Excited to see the journeys of SoJoT
What's funny is I am doingthis on Honor mode, and your random wheel gave you the same starting classes I had been taking haha!!
someone made ABSURD best video
Good stuff
"Now for a name... Oh! I know" Saw it coming from a mile away but still comedy gold
One easy way to fight the goblin priestess is have 3 nautiloid tanks in the far corner next to the door where her room is, have Minor Illusion cast so she'll go near them, then Fireball one of the tanks, she dies immediatly in the explosion. She survives if you only put 2, I tried it. Then you can just get the key and the parasite from her corpse.
I love the caustic band
Pretty surprised you just threw Gut into a pit. Not only does she also have a parasite, she’s IMO the easiest one to fight.
I namely wanted to do it for the minor illusion Segway, just fought her normal in the upcoming drunk only
Spidercave is toughest..
I unlock illithid powers and perilous stakes first. Cast that on bosses helps with quick 100-0 a lot. The one from the travelers, one from Netty and the easy route with Gut (drink the sleep potion and let the assassin handle her). Gives u 3 illithid powers before minthara and Drag boss and makes those fighst “easier without barrels or cheese”.
Yeah I had beat the spider boss with the webs, I didn't shove her in the pit but It still wasnt the easiest time. I didnt know where to include the fight and just ended up not including it at all lol
The problem with Gut is, that some races are immune to the potion. The other problem is that, for example paladin is allowed to do a saving throw against the potion and has a chance to resist "due to power of his faith"
The sovereign fungus who travels with you in the underdark is considered friendly by those exploding mushrooms.
Good video
5:20 I had to replay that part because I really thought you said "There's a lot of actors here besides the jews." I wasn't paying much attention and it caught me off guard for a second
ah yes going with the absered character route the ultimate lifeform
The amount of tips people are giving you as if you wouldnt know about easily accessible routes and mechanics
Sometimes I learn a new one! Helps me route in the future :>
I like how you just ignore the fact that you have the blood suddenly.
I tried to organize the video into sections, since how I really played I was bouncing between regions every 7 seconds so it'd be awful to watch lol
Just an fyi you can right click a shovel to dig up any spot so you dont need anything in survival👍
Asking the real questions
My favourite part about the gnoll area was convincing the warlord and the pack to feast on the humans then for the warlord to feast on her own pack and eventually tear her own throat out shit was funny
Him pushing lae’zel off sent me 😂😂😂
Everyone seems to miss the best ring in act 1. If you steal the idol after stopping the ritual but before killing the goblin leaders. you can give it to mol who then gives you a ring that gives +1 ac and i think +1 to saving throws. Just pass a check for the grove to not care about the theft.
I know about it, but I like to rp a bit, and being a druid I decided against it
@@Pheeon Fair enough, thats my bad for just assuming. Every video about "best secret item in act blah blah blah" never mentions it. Seemed like it would be good for your build though. As far as I know it doesn't effect anything story wise.
I love this insanity
Abserdity? :)
You know there’s 2 mitigation deposits in grim forge? You can forge the armor and the great sword.
I got it! Though I opted for the shield
I can't believe you made Abserd
what was that weapon at grymforge? did you get the blood before the grym?
Ya! Mind the formatting lol, had to cut around a bit
I was hoping someone would do that
I went all out charisma for Jack of all Trades. Eldrich Blasted my way through it
doing grymforge with lathander's blood before the mountain pass mmmmmmh
Solid tip, make a route... Some items in the game give extremely useful stats and it really helps getting those on a run like this...
The route was: Get 28 AC, ?????, Profit
11:45 YOU TAKE THAT BACK
Got the achievement myself but did it with a full party and on balanced, you're mad xD
It's him, Bald Gate.
I'd love to see someone do this in Honor Mode.
I'm working on it! Not Jack of all trades, but lonewolf in general!
13:14 - Chasm is pronounced like this: ka·zm.
I had to look it up as I wasn't sure. Words that start with ch- are weird like that.
A truly Abserd playthrough
Puffin Forest Stan
Trader Jack
Jack of Alltradia
where did you get the legendary mace from?
It was the blood of lathander! Mountain pass in the githyanki creche. The statue puzzle is what opens it
3:32, nah bro your not slick. I saw what you did.
I'd like to speak to my lawyer
Bro is making Abserd.
26:00 you can avoid this combat by shooting the ore with a bow from far away and sneaking the whole way to the ore and back
Better to use absolute warboard than adamantite shield?
Yup! If you didn't throw her in the pit like I did lol
You dont actually need to succeed in the survival checks. You can just use the shovel in the approximate spot and it'll work
23:52 What is that blood of lathander doing there 👀- a little bit of sequence breaking? ö..ö
A wee little bit of.. video structure lol. I play like a madman going to 15 different areas, makes it awful to edit
@@Pheeon Haha yeah I get that, gotta mix it up a bit, my ADD brain sometimes just completely forgets the actual goal and then I find myself in an entirely different area--
what mods were you using during this playthrough?
None! :)
This video is a great way to tell that tactician isnt hard engouh 😂
21:23 you could just break the moonstone up top and you cant be shot anymore
Wait, since when do shopkeepers drop all their loot?
just casually steal's Astarion's under garments
If you had picked shillelagh early you could've started with 8 strength and used your 16 wisdom for attack rolls
I knoww, but I'll never be respeccing so the spellslot would be dead, and will be ending the run with 21 in all stats anyways.
(Which is what I was thinking at the time you're completely right in hindsight)
how do you see all the nearby items?
I believe it's by holding down tab or alt, I can't remember right now lol
do you have charmic dice on?
Nope!
This is Abserd
what was that armor on the thumbnail
Helldusk armor! Dropped from Raphael
for the temple security just break the crystal
why not go with 10 dex and just use heavy armor? both cleric and ranger can give any class heavy armor proficiency with the right subclass.
so unless you want the initiative bonus(not a bad reason to be honest), it would work better to min max charisma, and use eldritch blast or one of the spellcaster blades.
also, would give higher bonus in conversation, and since you arent save scumming, that charisma mod, could be the diference between a nice talk, and a hard fight.
as a side note, i feel like shilleilagh would be incredibly usefull at the start. you could basically dual wield 2 torches, and shilleilagh both, to turn them into 1d8 + 1d4 + wis mod. so with a 16 wis, you would be getting a 2x(5-15). and you dont even need neither dual wield, or 2 weapon fighting, since shilleilagh already forces the wis mod on the weapon it is cast, completely ignoring the need for either(specially since, torches are considered light weapons anyway).
I was mostly using elixirs of hill giant and wasn't really expecting to min max since I was spinning the wheel lol. I definitely should've taken Shilleilaigh though.
True JOAT? or are you using barrelmancy and cheese? I've put around 100 hours in JOAT solotact attempts without cheese, its better to get sorcerer or fighter online for the concentration proficiency.
I've been attempting to beat the game deathless resetting every time I die. Patch 4 has made dual hand xbows worse.
If you need help when it comes to act 2 without cheese, im your guy.
We'll see if i need the help lol, feel free to drop some words of wisdom during a stream. I'll should be able to do the bosses without much cheese now that I have some items under my belt.
It hurts to see companions getting killed. I love them all too much >_
When I’m tired of listening to the same dialogue and the slow run animations, I like to inject CheatEngine into BG3 to increase the game’s speed to 3-4x. Something to consider for someone like you, who I presume must be positively numb to the same old dialogues and slow combat in the game.
I don’t know if there’s a mod which does the same thing in a less jank manner, I know dialogue cutscenes can get a little weird since the sounds the game plays don’t get sped up as well- the actors lips just move stupidly fast and out of sync with the dialogue.
But anyways, I assume you might be able to play the game like this, and then if you want to post the footage you could just slow your recording down by the corresponding factor that you sped the game up by, thus making the resultant footage not absurdly fast.
"these guys hardly give any xp" my guy you can get off the nautiloid level 3 or very close to it by killing everything including the LTs during the Zhalk fight and its pretty easy with setting up nautiloid tanks and shooting the eyeballs on the ceiling
You also get level 3 from walking into emerald Grove :) frankly I've done the nautiloid toooo many times
felt im going through a new toon again myself xD@@Pheeon
I had no idea you couldn’t multiclass so many times😅
i got the jack of all traits as warlock by accident
