Editing part 2! Hopefully the vid will be done within the next week!!
Nice Video!
I'd Like to See another part of that series.
Keep Up the good Work
Should be up soon!
Great pacing! Enough to see what's happening throughout the act but not the slog we all know goes into it lol. Awesome vid!
What a great vid! Patiently waiting for part 2.
I am excited to watch this, thanks for your great work 🎉
Hope you like it! Felt like I've been editing this damn thing forever haha. Lemme know what ya think!
I love the use of Faust for the music, very apropos
Whoa! Was just about to go to bed and you dropped THIS?! Hope you’re doing well man! Glad to see you still kickin!!
This was epic, loved the narration and use of spells. Very creative bro.
Working act 2! Hopefully done soon. All i got is myrkul left
Just found your channel, love this video and looking forward to more. Nice work bud.
Awesome run!!! Yes more please
really well made video, got a new sub! You've also motivated me to try a solo run, don't think I have the game knowledge yet for honor mode, but tactician should be doable. Can't wait for the next part.
Hey thanks! Surely you can do it. If I can, you can!
My man singlehandedly made me go back to BG3..
I’m sorry haha
You have become my favorite person to watch BG3 content, cant wait for more especially ACT II
Should be out this week if I don't distract myself too much!
When I don’t have the time to actually play ….or play well , this is great !
I'm also necromancing my way through the game! i plan on going spore druid at some point as well just to add a little more spice but i really enjoyed watching this!! looking forward to the next one!!
Any advice you have from your necromancing? I do intend to use a lot of Stinking Cloud/Killing Cloud + Undead swarms for many of the future fights :)
@@remortisgaming that's pretty much what I'm going to do. Crowd control and then use as many minions as I can to just swarm the enemy!
Awsome video my man! Hope you'll continue the series and add similiar content, great job!
I’ll be doing act 2 soon enough. Been enjoying vrising, taking a lil break from bg3 to avoid burn out
@@remortisgaming Sounds resonable. I'll be moving on to your vrising content then it seems. Looking forward to act 2!
First bg3 run I’ve ever actually watched. That was really entertaining
You really think so? I'm glad you liked it! I was kinda nervous doing this type of content since I mostly just do guides.
Definitely, you should keep it up, you’re pretty good at them
that intro hit me something different :D lets goooo
Nice to see Solo run that is not Gloom stalker !!!!
there are a few other youtubers that do good solo runs that arent typical archer builds. pheeon, thetruant, bouch are my favourite
Robsenpai just finished a solo honor mode run as a paladin and also did all of the non essential fights like ansur and raphael
Nice play man.
Theres a much easier way to deal with the intellect devourers at the very beginning. When you first come upon them and they run off, go into sneak mode and sneak up just past the fire on the ground on your left side, wait there about 10 seconds and the intellect devourer on the ledge will climb down to the ground.
As soon as its on the ground go into turn base and hit the nautiloid tank on the ground near it with a fire bolt. It will take at 2 of them in one turn and you'll only have to deal with one.
I expected to speed run this video but instead watched it all. Well done with your Thunderwave build.
Hahaha and you thought you were going to see Necromancer action. HAH yeah right. Next Act we definitely use alot more Necromancer spells and abilities :)
Good luck necromancing your way across Fearun.
We're gonna bring the ROMANCE back to NECROMANCE baby! Wanna raise a family with me?
43:30 shadowheart died and started moving like Denzel Crocker when someone mentions fairies
great video
Ive been doing a necromancy build for a whole party. Its REALLY frustraiting that there's basically nothing at low level. Something like the shadowblade spell from Xanathars could at least add some flavor, but that's level 2 so any Arcane Tricksters and Eldritch Knights couldn't use it until level 7ish.
Some level 1 spells, especially melee focused ones similar to Divine Favor would be really nice for that. Plus more clothing options. If we could deck out the party in skulls and leathers that would look really on point. Maybe even some low level necromancy staves, bone weapons, etc would help.
Oh Boi I can't wait to see act 2 right away, is what I thought before realizing that the video was 20h old x)
Hahaha I feel that! Took me about a month to make, only because I've been so busy with work IRL. Hopefully it won't take me nearly as long to find time to play the game and THEN edit it all :)
I'm def trying this
You made it look easy. GG
I hope chapter 2 comes soon! really fun video :)
I’m glad you liked it! We’ll see how soon I can pump it out. Been extremely busy at work the last couple of months. Hopefully I get some downtime soon!
@@remortisgaming i was wondering,you using zombies over archers cuz ur solo?
Good stuff! Making me want to make videos!
What’s stopping you?
@@remortisgaming I've got a video idea its just been difficult to sit down and record for some reason. I'd really like to do it though
If you want to use summons consider a 3 level dip into cleric for Aid which is 25 hp per summon!
Lmao the Beholder cheese was incredibly satisfying
lol there will definitely be cheese to be had in act 2. No barrelmancy though :D
Impressive gaming
I'm just about to finish my first playthrough of any DnD style game ever, bg3 as a cheesy drow rogue, I definitely want to go through as a wizard and necro might be the play... not sure if I can do a solo run just yet though
If you sneak up to flind the gnoll instead of walk up it will automatically activate the interaction with flind if you stand up next to them(works 4/5 of the time for me)
Necromancer? HAH! More like THUNDERWAVE-Mancer or Cloud of Dagger-mancer... what a phony!
In your defense, that's as far a necromancer you can build; its early game just sucks.
What happened to magic missile mancer 😞😞😞
Edit: this was pre watching
Necromancer?! I don't even know'er!
Necromancer? Ha more like...umm...uhh...action then...bonus action...mancer...
@@fattiger2000 bonus action? more like "bones for us" action
Bout to do a necromancer run myself. Gonna go gith to do a good cop bad cop routine with laezel. Well bad cop worse cop. Gonna go evil but not sure if i want a dirge playthrough
THe thing about DnD and necromancy is, i found clerics (evil domained ones) to be far better necromancers then wizards/sorceres in all actuallity. They have a far easier (un)live in the early portions of their journey, (pnp as well as vgs) they also provide better support to their minions with harm, whcih heals undead creatures, and the death doman, naturually helps with the whole undead stick alot too
Edit: ahhh dang, i forgot we do not have access to the domain of death in BG3 .....
Nice vid ! About the gloves you stole from the Zhentarim, later in ACT 3 when you can summon i think 5 Ghouls or so, they will never get mad because they count as demonic creatures, they get the free bonuses from the gloves and you dont have to fear about them turning against you haha, at least they never turned against me, it should be your permanent gloves in act 3 as soon as you read the necromancy of thay again. Keep up the great content! :D + if you pre buff all your summons with Longstriders and so on they can literally solo everything and you can just sit back and watch haha. Cant wait for patch 7 so i can do a Drow Necromancer Minthara romance bad playthrough and dominate the whole world ^^
Indeed! Hopefully we make it to Act 3 to enjoy our Thayan Ghouls :P
What the hells?! You can drop containers off cliff to open them??! Hells yeah!!
Just proving my case that barbarians are the best rogues in bg3
Remortis what would you say your favorite game in terms of necromancer content is? You seem to like playing necromancer or edgy summoner types so I figure you might know some other options. I play necro whenever a game offers me the choice but that seems rare at this point
That’s a good question cause it changes over time. I used to love Diablo 2 but d3, d4 path of exile, and all those types of top down action RPGs don’t do it for me anymore.
I think I like turn based stuff the best. Each game does something cool with Necromancy though. I’d probably have to say Pathfinder is probably some of my favorite necromancy playstyles to be from. Referring to the tabletop that is. DnD is solid too but 5e is very limiting compared to pathfinder.
For me when i go wizard I like to take alot of the spells associated with that subclass. So I'll take almost all of the necromancy spells.
The Necromancer subclass really starts at level 6 with stronger undead summons. Before that i presume you are also using the minor illusion + cloud of daggers trick?
No illusions here! Though I do lean on cloud of daggers quite a bit, I mean who wouldn’t? But the illusion > daggers combo can be super cheesy which is why I avoid it.
But yeah it’s the main spells I use are Firebolt, Thunderwave… lots of thunderwave. Cloud of daggers and Magic Missile.
for the chest bug, if u clic on the icon that is in the left/down corner, u open it wherever u are in camp
that didnt work for me either sadly!
What settings you use in game & shortly tell me plz about your PC in general. Ty
uhhh.. I think I’m on high or ultra. I’ll check my specs when I get home, but I just use a gaming laptop. An asus ROg strix, it was about 2500 when I got it.
Very creative. Did you try with necromancy plus plus mod too?
I did not! I should investiate!
I'd like to see the rest of this cheeseomancer run
🗣🔥🔥 we getting 4797 turns per combat with this one
TRUEEEEEE... well probably not til next act! xD
At 16:05 you could have put on the bracers of defense and gotten to a 20 AC
Good catch ;).
I’ve never had two Owlbears attack during that fight. It’s always only been one owlbear plus the baby lol
wait, why do you get two owl bears? is that an honor mode thing?
Yup. Honor mode gives every “boss” encounter an extra mechanic
🏃♀️🏃♀️ I'm telling morgana
BG3 is an awesome game, i just wished that when you are 4v1 in some situation, the NPC would just be smart and not attack you straight away. Like okay i tried to rob you, but if you rebel you're dead, so just don't and submit
I am pure evil in Bg3, but the people I play with are doing a good run, so I can’t ruin it
Hey, remember you can access camp supplies from the icon on the left!
It didn’t let me!
@@remortisgaming oh, thats weird.
@@medicgaming9117 right?! How else am I store these bodies? 🤣
In Act 1, when you save Arabella if you dont talk to her parents they survive and you meet them in Act 2.
But if you talk to them and they give you thier amulet of dancing lights they die in Act 2 in the darkness.
Oooooh interesting.
51:20 when your brain goes
Haha basically! At this point during my recording/editing I was sick and exhausted haha
Did you ever solve the camp chest glitch?
I did not sadly.
Have the unedited 666hour vod?
Not really, since I actually recorded/played in several sessions. It was agony editing it all haha
I believe you could have gotten the permanent zombie companion without saving his wife, you just need to grab the wand from Ethels workshop and use that on the husband instead of the spell
I did. The wand you get is called Bitter Divorce, you need Mayrina free from the Hag for it to become Second Marriage. Without Mayrina you don't get the proper wand. You get the one that only summons a hostile zombo.
@@remortisgaming dang that's unfortunate, sorry I couldn't tell what you did to try to resurrect him. The wiki makes it seem like you could do it without his wife. I appreciate the info for my future runs!
This makes Dark Urge look more like Bright Actions... how you make Dark Urge look like the good way? haha
Because I'm not Dark Urge
I am struggling playing a spore druid in my 3 player co-op run. My turn taking a long time + not doing as much damage.
Are you using concentration spells?
@@remortisgaming I am. Lots of crowd control.
@@ScreaminpirateEDC well, in act 2 moonbeam works wonders and does some great damage!
i hate that dorky helmet so much lol
That double 20.....
Just for good measure! Haha
The whole meme that magic users are "squishy" is pretty common, so I cant hate that you use it like most people. However, I am not so sure it is just an innocent joke anymore since the next dnd edition...update(?)...whatever it is, does not seriously address the issue. As long as magic users are the most "tanky", can do the most damage, and are the most flexible, you are going to have a game where half the classes become nearly obsolete at some point in a campaign, which isnt a great vibe IMO. Apparently though, WotC does not realize that the meme is just a meme and will not until people start calling them out on it.
I have been to act 3 a handful of times in honor mode and died every single time 😩😂
What got ya? My first real honor mode attempted ended at the temple of shar platform :(
@@remortisgaming ansur got me the first time I made it, most recently Raphael got me I think I went in under leveled and I accidentally stumbled into a fight with the water monsters at the docks lol I didn’t know they were there and I had just finished up the fight with the wizard that wanted the night song I can’t remember his name rn
What is the step-by-step build?
I’ll post the build guide after the run is completed. I do put timestamps for each time I level up though
7:25 you can kill 2 with the exploding purple barel
Oooooh I’ll remember that next time. Will save me some potions 🤣
you do realize there is a chest icon in the bottom left corner that allows you to access your chest.
Yup. Didn't work either.
you gave baelen the noblestalk?? youre a monster.
It’s the best choice honestly cause she ends up leaving him!
Oh I didn’t know that she leave him. Do you still have access to the shop in act 3 ?
@@lenam317 I believe so! we'll find out though! Almost done editing act 2 :)
"a few free shots on her" *spider queen dead* HOW did you do that
No idea. Some kinda bug where she didn’t react
@@remortisgaming is there a follow up episode? I couldn't find it
@@jstefens working on it! editing it now :D
Sorry Scratch, but Shovel is best boy.
Always thought of Shovel as a girl personally, just going off of how she sounds. Shovel’s kinda like Crona from Soul Eater in regards to their gender
@@oliverbires5106 Could very well be!
Necromancer solo run, where our first necromancer spell is 40 minutes in.
You’re absolutely right. Necromancy options are very middling in the early game. sure we can use chill touch instead of firebolt, but realistically firebolt is superior in the majority of situations. Just the nature of 5e I’m afraid, at least with the PHB. With Tasha and Xanathar we get more useful Necro spells like Toll the Dead andl life transference and summon undead. In strixhaven we get Wither and Bloom. But alas in bg3 we’re mostly limited to PHB spells
New episode soon please!
I have 400 hours and never saw 2 owlbears there before
It’s from honor mode. Makes certain encounters harder
I love the narration. The silent play through just don’t do it for me. This is excellent. Happy to follow along on your journey.
I didn't know you could just push chests????
Fr I have 500ish hours on BG3 and only just found out about this haha
Wheres act2?
Coming! Been on a V rising arc for a bit. Needed a lil break. But i should have act 2 coming in the next couple of weeks
No one gonna talk about Remortis 2nd fail roll to eat herself??? What happened?
?? I used inspiration to reroll
Volo is NOT a Bard, he is a Wizard.
He’s a bard in my heart
Shadow heart and Karlach :(
Some sacrifices had to be made. Let's find out if Lae'zel makes it!
Please I love ur videos but can u just use like tav creator music or something in the background lol
Ohhh down by the river?
Um actually🤓 Volo’s a wizard not a bard
Truly? I've only known him as a bard in my entire DnD career
Can Durge be Necromancer?? is his daddy is Bhaal?? when NEcromancy is Mircul??
yea he can. but i didn't wanna do Durge this run.
Myrkul is the god of death us, but so is Jergal
@@remortisgaming can i rp Durge Necro where i got my powers from Bhaal? or Bhaal dont use Necromancy>?
@@CEOofTunneling you can rp however you want. He doesn’t focus on it but I’m sure necromancy works well with bhaal
Not mama k.. 😮
Go make some friends.
Huh?
@@remortisgaming Necromancers are famous for making friends.
@@KudzuHaiku Forever friends!
Bro straight up stole SleepingDog's vide idea
I don't even know who that is. It's also not the most original idea, as I usually have an affinity for Necromancers...
@@remortisgaming look him up, even the thumbnail
but i believe ya, dont stress about it, in the end you still made the video ^^
U died in act2 and thats why there isnt a video? Isnt it?
No. I just took a break. Almost 800 hours in bg3 and made tons of YT content for it. I'm burnt out. Not trying to force the Honor mode playthrough for the sake of content, otherwise I'll begin to despise the game.
Spore druid is not that great compared to necromancer
I disagree. I’d argue it’s even better, all necro wizard has going for it is slightly stronger minions, and 1 additional animate dead minion.
Meanwhile Spore Druid gets access to a lot of the same spells, and a lot of really good Druid spells too. However I think Necro 6/spore 6 to be incredibly powerful compared to just necro 12
@@remortisgaming That one minion doesnt seem as strong compare to the ghouls you can later summon as necromancer, also druid infestation is limited alot
@@kamikadzex123_cz4 until you get the spore Druid robes in act 3. Thing is if you do 6 necro/6 spore you can have your 4 animate dead minions,
4-5 fungal ghouls, up to lvl 6 spells for wizard, and some solid damaging or cc concentration and healing spells from Druid.
@@remortisgaming sounds interesting. I would still pick 12 necromancer, i love the class and dont like druids, but thats just personal XD
@@kamikadzex123_cz4 filthy tree huggers!
Top 5 worst game I ever played. You have the patience of a saint to learn the cheap bs in this.
bro has 0 planning ability and thinks the game is bad cause of it
Aw poor little guy probably got stomped immediately after leaving the ship
why send them to camp ? i kill those i can, and simply dont free those i cant. NO npc means No npc help, not even extra potions you shouldn have by then :P
Cause I’m not a murderhobo
