BG3 Duoing Commander Zhalk and the Illithids without Exploits (DUO-NO REST-NO EXPLOITS | Ep. 1)

The BG3 (Baldurs Gate 3) Tutorial Boss fight is renowned for being one of, if not the, hardest fights in the game. In Episode 1 of this BG3 (Baldurs Gate 3) Honor Mode Duo Let's Play Challenge Run I will be attempting to Duo Commander Zhalk and the Cambions without resorting to cheese like pathing abuse, mob-bugging or the like. Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction and Rules 01:43 - Character Creation 04:01 - Waking up (and finding the Ice Arrow) 12:33 - Finding the Speed Potion 19:54 - Finding the Candle 20:32 - Setup before the fight 29:43 - The Chain to Disarm Commander 42:39 - Killing him too fast! 51:39 - Setting off the Trap 55:16 – I am an idiot... 01:04:35 – This move could cost me the victory :-( 01:14:23 – Final Round... Almost there! Rules for the let's play are as follows: 1: Honor Mode (Mostly for the changed rule set) 2: Duo Run Not allowed: Bringing more than 2 party members to any given fight (special exception for tutorial where Shadowheart gets to be there but isn't allowed to act) Allowed: Other companions helping from the camp to the best of their abilities. 3: No Long Resting Not allowed: Intentionally resting to regain spellslots or abilities. Allowed: Regaining Spellslots/abilities through forced long rest (and maybe through rest stations). Resting to progress quests - But all resources must be reset as if no rest! (redo spells, use up spellslots, waste abilities, etc) 4: Pick the hard version of every fight. Not allowed: Using dialogue to make a combat easier or skip it entirely. Avoiding fights by stealth or the like. Allowed: Having "friends" you don't intent to kill. Doing fights "out of order" 5: No cheese – depending on definitions Not Allowed: Lugging around barrels, stealth bugging enemies or otherwise intentionally bugging the game, and things of the caliber. Allowed: Using "locally sourced" barrels for advantage (as long as they belong at that location, blowing them up is just dandy). Breaking potions for AoE effects, dipping in candles, and other clever use of game mechanics. In short: Duo No Cheese No Rest Honor Mode Challenge Run Shoutout:    • Slaying Zhalk, the Mindflayers, & the Camb...   #baldursgate3 #baldursgate #bg3
