I'm of two minds on some of the big boss fights. While they are obviously harder than standard fights, boss encounters have pretty detailed notes on exactly what to do to trivialize them, typically written in the handholdy fashion that Phil really enjoys.

However, even with specific instructions, there's still an RNG element and some assumption that you know what you are doing. Like with the hag fight, the guides will probably list a variety of options for dealing with the opening, but then say something like "after that, just do X damage to trigger the next part." Probably with a few general recommendations for how to inflict damage and general combat tips on where to position yourself and the like, but because Phil has such a limited understanding of the mechanics he might not know what to do in the more generalized parts, or he might struggle to set himself up correctly. He might also struggle with the more detailed nature of the guides since he has to account for his whole party instead of just one person, and we've seen that Phil doesn't exactly retain information well.

There's also a good chance Phil doesn't understand how to properly use support/buff based mechanics, which are a big part of breaking the game, especially in lower levels where you don't have as many build options because you're waiting for the big power boosts from levels 4 and 5. Buffing isn't as big of a deal as something like Pathfinder, but there are some pretty wild things you can do in BG3 that really swing things in your favor. Even with handholding, I don't know if Phil will utilize them because that involves a few seconds of prep, which he doesn't have patience for.
I kinda hope he gets fucked up on Grym. Not because it's hard, but because he has to weaken the boss before he can really hit him. But, we all know Phil and he'll magically know what he has to do for him.

I thought about this being a funny fight too, but then I realized that we probably won't see it.

He played the game for what, 8 hours now? And he only arrived at the Grove.
Lets say he really will play until middle of January (highly unlikely) this would leave him with around 50 hours left to reach Grym.
I just can't see it at his pace.
Especially if he will keep "exploring" and do a majority of the encounters like the Hag, Harpies, Owlbear, Burning Hotel, Village, Karlachs Quest, not to even start about the Goblin Camp, the quests in the Grove and the Underdark with the Duergars.

There are just too many possibilities to frustrate him to the point of quitting way before Grym.

The best part about the Hag fight and the Goblin camp is that I've seen people smarter than Phil (with more BG and thinking experience) struggle on those two parts even with nifty hints. There was one guy on the BG3 subreddit who was stuck on the Goblin camp for nearly three hours before he decided to seek help for it. Either one of, or both, will break Phil completely if he attempts them and that's what I'm dying to see.
 
If you aren't watching the pure dentchat feed, you may not gather this, but all that staring at chat in between combat turns is literally him looking for chat to play the game of the year 2023 for him, and they are essentially the only way party teamwork is instituted so far in this game. So, unless chat can force him to implement coherent teamwork, with handheld contributions most likely, he'll need a hot set of rolls to press button to win in a string of 1v1's at this point. Alternatively, I guess he could learn from trial and err--- :lol: couldn't finish it, sorry, anyway enjoy the salty rage today mentally ill mouth drooling moron detractors. Sadly for me, Derich doesn't like good vidya games so he won't be free from beating his meat raw cooming over cam girls instead of Phil's tits today in chat, and I'll be poorer for it.

Wait hold on. There are tricks to those?
 
Yes. You can throw a bottle at hag and mark her with status. Or come at level 6 or 7 and kill her in her hut with few potions of speed and see invisible eye or scroll
Or, if you’re an Open Hand Monk, rush her at the beginning of the fight and topple her ass then have the rest of your party reenact the Ides of March.

Fukken bitch took my eye.
 
right? right? right? right? right?
holy fuck, does he ask khet if he should wipe his ass too. This guy is literally an NPC.

Though did anyone notice how he keeps mentioning "you can't go back" or pretending to not understand how to make a separate save...he's not playing honor or custom.

This is so he can say "See I don't save scum it's the mentally ill dunce detractors that make up these lies about me cause they're stupid moron heads". Which is one of the most fascinating thing about him, he claims he doens't do or never said something but also you can go on his own channel and find videos he uploaded himself of the contrary of him doing saying the opposite.

Didn't he try to play this off once by insinuating it was detractor edits that made him look like he's lying but just dropped it cause how would detractors upload shit to his own channel. I swear it was around the time he showed his youtube key and someone uploaded a vid of someone playing pocket pool. Or am I. having a Goutdella effect.
 
This is some of the most entertaining video games streaming content I have seen in a while.
DSP is a legend

I mean, if he wants to dismiss the tactic that will save him the maximum amount of embarrassment then I’m happy to step out of his way. “Phil beat BG3 after 426 played hours and over one thousand reloads” is still better than “Phil got his shit pushed in by the Viconia fight 27 times and ragequit after spending two streams trying to beat her”.
 
I mean, for a bisexual vamp he's aomewhat tolerable. Just as long as you not try to do any ultra-gay shit.
Well there's that whole scene where he tries to bite you, which phil may """"accidentally""" go along with it """accidentally""" triggering the romance ack ack ack. Claiming he didn't know even though Asterion lays it on pretty thick when hitting on the PC

Looking forward to the tonal swerve when Phil inevitably decides to treat him like a silly slutty sissy causing him to dump his character’s worthless ass.

I don’t think BG3’s writing or characters are timeless or anything but they’re head and shoulders above what Phil gets in 99% of the games he plays so I’m sure that’ll get a nice loud “HUH?! Whut happun’d??!! I don’t get it!!!”

Holy shit he made it into the enclave.

rest of your party reenact the Ides of March.
I've gotten her before she even reached her lair before, but you realllly have to know whats going to happen.
Silence area + pickpocket her invisibility potion and she's pretty much done.

Outside of that see invisibility is your best bet. Honestly though depriving yourself of that whole area is a shame. But its interesting to see all the people freed of her control.
 
druids grove boys, let's go.

phil has leveled up and has to pick new spells, he's very upset by the number of spell options he has.

we're just reading descriptions and then explaining what it means.

"dark vision? that'd be good in dark areas"

masterful commentary.

he's legit just asking his viewers to pick the spells for him.

"thanks for the help with these spells because I don't know anything about these spells"

why not? you read the spell descriptions, what more do you need to know?

phil went with Hold Person.

he spent 15 minutes on leveling up.

phil is floating the idea of "multiple" runs of BG3 which is hysterical since he's not even going to finish 1 run, but ok.

phil has encountered the druids and I pray to whatever god that is listening that he accidentally starts a race war.

spent 8 or so minutes trying to steal a key from a bird, want to note he saved before trying, despite saying there would be no save scumming this playthrough.

phil thinks shadowheart is in some way connected to the druids because her hand mark flared up after talking to Kagha.

doesn't understand why you would have the "Reach for your weapon" dialogue choice against someone who just nearly killed a 12-year-old.


"why do they hate the demon people and not me? technically I'm an outlander, I shouldn't be here."

man is a retard. she hates the "demon people" because they are refugees living in her house eating her food and taking up her place. you're just some guy who showed up in the past 10 minutes.

cave man has gotten up to beat his PC some more as it chokes to death on 10 years of dust.

"DID THE BIRD DIE? AW MAN, IT'S DYING"

bird status debuff "exhausted"

it has been an hour of stream team, so let's recap what has happened. Phil leveled up his character, he stole a key from a bird, he talked to Kagha, and he talked to Neetie. That's it. You're caught up now.

phils goal of the day is to hit 660 members today, weird, since a month ago I thought he only wanted around 550 and that was it? strange how that number keeps climbing.

"I don't know what the hell I'm doing"

it's a basic RPG man, like, just do the quests?

he is terrible at navigating the shopping menu for some reason, you'd think he'd be better at it. phil is trying to sell a 33 gold item to a vendor for 45 gold.

"this is bullshit"

phil is displeased the vendor will not pay him more than the value of his item.

phil revealed himself as a survivor of the crash, and people immediately attacked him. he is surprised by this.

"MISS? this is ridiculous, why is it every time I have a high chance I miss? it's fucking stupid. what's the point of having abilities if the abilities can never be used because the game screws you over on the dice roll?"

sometimes that's how the dice fall, fat boy.

"I took damage from my own spell, it was giant damage"

man walked into his own tornado of knives and is surprised he got cut. now he has to figure out how to turn off the spell so he can loot the corpses. he is struggling very much with this.

now he can't figure out how to recast Speak with Dead, so we're just sitting here. "I didn't make the game, I dunno."

"since our first stream we've lost 70% of the viewers"

sounds like a successful business owner to me.

"im down 7hp which is REALLY stupid"

you're the one who walked into a storm of blades? that you summoned?

phil screamed at a viewer for saying "just play the game" despite them apparently not addressing him in the slightest, they were responding to someone asking if the game was worth getting.

he has encountered the Owl Bear.

with much menu struggling phil killed the Owl Bear, he now questions whether or not to strike down the Owl Bear Cub. He is concerned that it will want revenge on him and his family.

since no one gave him a direct answer in the chat, he has allowed the Owlbear Cub to live, Phil is HORRIFIED as the cub begins eating its mother. he's absolutely fucking flabbergasted, he was mouth agape, eyes wide, don't be too shocked phil, Jasper Kitty will do the same to you one day, I'm sure.

phil downed a potion of animal speak, but the cub is busy eating its mom, it does not have time for you phil, he's enjoying his fucking meal.

"just because he can speak doesn't mean he wants to? well, tough shit. i bought the damn game, I want to talk to the creature."

he keeps prouncing lae-zal as "layzil"

and that's pretty much the end. so let's recap. in 4 hours of gameplay, here's what happened: Stole a key, talked to Kagha, talked to Neetle, leveled up, fought the Owlbear.

that's it, see you next time kids.

this was a slow ass stream.
