...a class action called An Apple a Day. This Ooze can shapeshift into a minotaur, dire wolf, phase spider, or shadow mastiff. And in its ooze form, it’s a large colorful blob that can shoot acid, or lash out with a slimy green tentacle. It also creates an acid surface whenever it takes damage. And this Ooze is actually none other than the Strange Ox you encounter in Act 1, and depending on your choices, he can follow you for the entire game. To get Zlorb the Ooze to fight for you, you’ll need to save the Tieflings in Act 1, choose to save Dame Aylin so that Last Light Inn isn’t destroyed in Act 2, and then finally in Act 3, you need to find the Strange Ox in a barn and offer to smuggle him into the city. If you agree, he’ll shapeshift into a Strange Apple - thus the name, an apple a day - that you can pick up and once you enter the Lower city he thanks you and offers to join you in the Final Fight where you can summon and control him.
Next up is how to perform your way out of jail! If you ever get sent to jail on a character with Perform, you can actually use that skill to escape. To do this, first make some distance between you and the door and start performing. Once a guard hears you, he’ll actually open the door so he can listen to your performance. Once he’s inside the cell, you can cast Invisibility on yourself, and as he’s leaving the cell, you can follow him out. The classic escape from jail like a Bard!
Next up is how to get Infinite Spell Slots and Sorcery Points! In Act 2 there is a trader called Lann Tarv who sells 2 Potions of Angelic Relief, which grant you the effects of a Short Rest and restore all of your level 1 and level 2 spell slots. This, when used by a Sorcerer combined with refreshing the trader’s stock through leveling up a hireling, means that you can essentially get infinite spell slots and sorcery points. Sorcerers have two abilities, one called Create Sorcery Points, which spends spell slots to gain Sorcery Points, and Create Spell Slot which does the opposite. All you need to do is convert your level 1 and 2 spell slots into Sorcery Points and then use a potion of angelic relief to restore them. Then you can use those sorcery points to create higher level spell slots later. You can even stock up on these potions since Lann Tarv won’t be around forever and take this trick with you into act 3.
Next up is Marvin, the Talking Skull. Inside a Wyrms Rock Prison cell, there is an unusual skull that you can interact with. And at first glance what might look like just another bone on the ground is actually a talking skull! This skull apparently belonged to a powerful wielder of magic, who is able to retain their ability to speak through it! By speaking to the skull and answering its riddles, it promises you that it will teleport you out of the prison cell to freedom. This sequence of events reminds me of the scene in The Hobbit, where Gollum and Bilbo’s trade riddles and if Bilbo wins, then Gollum must show him the way out.
Next up is the Flail of Ages. This weapon comes with a level 3 transmutation spell called Elemental Age. This is a spell which enchants a weapon to grant it +1 to attack rolls and +1d4 elemental damage of your choice of either cold, fire, or acid until long rest. Each of these also inflict conditions on your target, Acid reduces armor class by 2, Chilled makes the entity vulnerable to cold and resistant to fire damage, and fire inflicts burning, dealing 1d4 fire damage per turn. But what makes this different from say the Drakethroat Glaive is that you cannot target with this spell - it always gets used on your main-hand weapon. Usually that would mean the flail itself, but with Dual-Wield, you can cast this on a different weapon when holding the Flail of Ages in your offhand. So you can grab another party member’s weapon, cast Elemental Age on it, then pass it back to give them this buff.

"Take a drunken shart in the basement" is definitely one of the instructions of all time. I'll remember to heed your word every day of my life.
-
0:30 that's a very...generous use of "entire game", unless there's a way to get the ox before the final sequence of fights
-
Since Vampire Bite also doesn't damage sleeping targets, I figured it's to explain why you don't wake up with missing hp if you let Astarion feed on you at night.
-
In order to aquire Strange Ox's help, you don't have to save tieflings or side with the Dame, you can do your absolutely worst, and still get the Ox to act 3.
-
To add onto "infinite spell slots and sorcery points" You can get the shield of devotion from quartmaster Talli, this gives you 1 level 1 spell slot However if you use all your level 1 spell slots, unequip and then re-equip it, it gives you 1 spell slot back So, use all your level 1 spell slots to make sorcery points, unequip, re-equip, make a sorcery point, unequip, requip, make a sorcery point Rinse and repeat infinitely, and its a one time purchase that doesnt rely on potions
-
want to add about the shar buff at 7:03- IF YOU ARE SELUNE CLERIC DONT TRY IT, shar will instantly deny you with no roll and you will get the debuff.
-
I use the strange book to store my books so I can have a designated area in my camp chest where I have one copy of hopefully every piece of literature I find in my adventures. Plus imagine picking up a book that weighs almost 100 pounds and opening it just to find hundreds of books stored inside it
-
regarding the radiant damage buff from the monestary, you can put any weapon on the pedestals, as long as they are the required categories: i.e. longsword, mace etc. You don't really need the ceremonial weapons, and also that's how you can get blood of lathander without triggering the solar lance. just complete this puzzle and take the key before entering the gith creche

“You probably never used your scrolls” My brother in Lathander, I am a dual short sword wielding Warock Tav, and my chosen companions are the ladies 3: Karlach, Shadowheart, and La’zel. Those scrolls are NECESSARY for my campaign. 😂
-
Flail of the ages is a returning item as it was also in Baldurs Gate 2.
-
Don't put your scrolls in containers if you're a sorcerer. Sure, they can be cast from inside the container but if you're a sorcerer, you can't metamagic them. Took me a while to understand why it wasn't working
-
I like all the references to bg2. Flail of ages? A random skull talking to you and he once was a powerful mage? How nice.
-
Bro escaped his jail cell like Megamind xD
-
Lmao Wulbren as a container is next level
-
The Talking skull is an Easteregg referring to Murray the talking skull from Monkey Island 3.
-
Something to mention about the Nauseated debuff, if you go back to the well with that debuff, you’ll get an even worse buff that makes you vulnerable to most damage types in the game
-
I got the ooze on my homicidal dark urge run, murdered the tieflings it showed up at last light, killed isobel and the ox was missing but not dead and then got to act 3 and it was at the barn, never spoke to the ox throughout the game either
-
I use the book as well for my spells. First time I found it I thought right off the bat it made sense to throw my spells in it.
-
I love how at 8:10 the game has the proper English form of 'nauseated' for the debuff, yet our man @toyhouze goes the extra mile to read it as the improper form 'nauseous' :D
-
You also get Shar-Stricken from the Gauntlet of Shar Altar even if you pass the check if you're a Selunite. Learned that the hard way.
