Video summary

The video documents a chaotic and humorous playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3 where the player utilizes an unconventional strategy to defeat Lord Enver Gortash by mind-controlling another major boss, Mystic Karrion. Initially, the player successfully casts *Control Undead* on Karrion during a previous encounter, turning this formidable enemy into a loyal pet that follows them around the city. This setup allows the player to experiment with bizarre tactics, such as dragging Karrion out of danger zones or even letting him fight alongside the party against other threats like the Flaming Fist, effectively using one boss to eliminate another before finally bringing him to the final confrontation. The climax of this strategy occurs at Gortash's stronghold, where the player brings the mind-controlled Karrion into the room just as the final battle begins. Instead of fighting alone, the party is joined by Karrion, who immediately engages Gortash and his elite guards with surprising effectiveness. The fight becomes a spectacle of the player manipulating multiple powerful entities, including using spells like *Dominate Person* on Gortash's minions to turn them against him and utilizing telekinesis to throw enemies into lava or at each other. Despite some confusion regarding game mechanics, such as resistance to fire damage from lava and immunity to certain attack types, the combined might of the party and the mind-controlled Karrion overwhelms Gortash's defenses, leading to his defeat. Following the victory over Gortash, the player takes a moment to reflect on the absurdity of their actions, noting that they essentially used a boss from a different quest line as a weapon to kill the game's final major antagonist before the true endgame begins. The player also discovers a plot twist revealed through Gortash's private notes, which suggests that the Emperor and the Githyanki have been manipulating events from the start, hinting at a larger conspiracy involving the Astral Prism. After destroying Karrion's heart to permanently free his soul, the party prepares to leave Baldur's Gate for the final confrontation with the Elder Brain, marking the conclusion of their journey in the city and setting the stage for the ultimate finale.

I want to try and control undead the mystic kerrion and it works. Is he fighting? Wait, what? Dude, did I just unleash a boss on the flaming fist and he's going to kill them? Oh my gosh.

Are you ready, my friend? >> What are you going to do? >> Like the foundry, the neurostor's exterior is near impossible to penetrate. However, its inner circuitry is highly unstable. I'm going to rain fire upon it from the inside out. Gond, let your hammer be my courage, your furnace, my heart. Wait, I feel like they're running so slow. Damn, the steel watch foundry has been destroyed. Wait, so there's no more steel watch in the entire city. >> We're alive. Blessed God. And the foundry crumbles behind us.

Go on, find your own. >> Uh, hello, Thumbbo. Mystic Carrion's told me all about you. >> Mystic Carrion? You're working for him? Oh, no. No, no. I knew he wouldn't let us leave in peace. You don't have to help him. He's the one you should be after, not me. >> Why? >> You've met him. How can you need more justification than that? He He murdered me. Murdered my friends. Snatched us right up from the dark side and and made us these these things. monsters fit for gutting and and grinding and and desecrating the dead. He constantly abuses us. Makes us do the the worst things you can imagine. There used to be five of us. My friend Dallas, he couldn't take it anymore. One day I saw him drive a coffin nail right through Carryan's skull and another and another. We thought he had done it. Freed us all. Then when dawn came, Talis seized up suddenly like something had got a grip of him. We ran to help, but he just exploded. I got so much blood and and pulp in my eyes. When I look back, Karion was just stood there completely unharmed. >> Well, do you know how Kerrion brought himself back? >> If I knew that, I'd have tried to kill him myself. I know this is going to sound strange, but I've been watching him, trying to figure it out. And >> yes, I can. >> I think he's a mummy lord. A mummy lord. What makes you think of that? >> After Talis died, Karion blindfolded me and took me into a strange place, a foul and ancient place somewhere the living wouldn't dare to tread. Down there, he showed me a jar. Said it contained the secret to eternal life. And if I behaved, he would share it with me. I I think it was his heart. I'm not stupid. I know what he did to my friend. God's how I'd LOVE TO SMASH THAT BASTARD JAR. That's how you kill Mommy Lords. You know, >> I already found his layer. The jar you saw, he hid it inside your body. >> What? His own heart was inside of me this whole time. >> Get it out. I have to get it out. No matter. This is still the safest place to hide. It's just bad. That slimy bastard. He hid it in me the whole time. >> How did he not notice? And immediately he just threw it up. >> Grind it to dust. Holy. Found Mr. Karen's heart. We must destroy it before we kill him for good. We told the Rumba that he had Karen's heart in his chest and he vomited out. We should destroy it. Do we destroy it or do we go to the mystic Kerrion and say that we have it? Cuz I kind of think we have his brain, his liver, and his heart. I think we should do that. Hello, gentlemen. Such a juicy customer. >> Hello, Mr. Kerrion. >> I sense it, too. >> Our guest brings with him the stench of Thumbbo's disobedience. Hand his carcass to me quickly. >> Not so fast. First, tell me about the reward you promise. I have to try something. >> Wasn't expecting that. Good. >> Okay. >> And once Wait, why is there one here? Okay, I want to try and control undead the mystic kerrion and it works. Oh my gosh, guys. That was insane. What just happened? I have an undead pet that's like a boss. Nice crit on the sneak attack.

This is a boss. >> I mind control the boss, dude. This is so funny. Okay, so now I'm going to take him and I'm going to take him back to Thumbbo. Dude, this is so funny. Dude, look. This mummy lord is just walking around town. Hello, Thumbbo. Does he do anything? >> Please, we don't have time to waste. Carrion's heart must be destroyed. >> I destroyed the mystic Kerrion's jar. >> You You did? Then what are you waiting for? You You must destroy the rest of him. Put that MONSTER IN THE GRAVE WHERE HE BELONGS. >> NOW, let's try this. >> Control undead lasts until the long rest. So, let's do a long rest and just see what happens. Cuz I took him and I put him right next to Thrombo. Okay. Now, let's see. Let's see what happens here. >> I need this more than you. I think >> you destroyed something very precious of mine. Now, you dare to seek an audience with me? >> I think not. >> So, it starts the encounter here with him. Thumbbo is part of the encounter now. Thumbbo is now part of the encounter. Let's just skip our turn. Let's just skip our turn and see what happens. Okay, Thumbbo broke his own. Oh, he just he just killed Thumbbo. I got throbo killed. Oh my gosh. What?

Dude, frick. I spent all that time doing that for nothing. Try waypoint first. Hold. Okay, so Mystic Carrion, he will follow us if we port between the Bassilis Gate and the Southspan of Worms Crossing. I think he he comes with us cuz I went to I went to Southspan and then I came back and he was there, right? >> Oh, dude, he doesn't leave that area. Interesting. But whenever I go back to the area, he's still there. Interesting. Okay, we'll just keep it going then. Is there a way? There's There's a way to sneak in, but I I'm trying to remember what it was cuz I I kind of want to sneak in. I don't want to do this whole fight. The answer entrance. Yeah, the side.

Wait, is he fighting solo? What if they kill the mystic the kerion? What if I dude? Did I just unleash a boss on the flaming fist and he's going to kill them? Look, fist Broco used counter spell as a reaction to Mr. Karen's action. So clearly something is happening up there. Used opportunity attack. Used opportunity. Dude, they are fighting. Go back. I saved it. I saved it and we'll just see what happens. I'm just going to let I'm just going to let it run.

Oh, dude. I came up at the perfect time. Mystic Karion is at 84 health. Wait, but how is he how is he taking damage is what I want to know. Cuz if he's immune to slashing, immune to piercing, immune to bludgeoning, I guess he's getting hit with like radiant damage or something. Dude, he he put in some work. Oh my gosh, dude. He almost 1v5s them, dude. We basically had Mystic Carrion solo this whole fight. That's so funny. So, we saved a bunch of spell slots. All right, good work, Mystic Carrion. Our mighty mighty carry, Mystic Carryon. Carry on, Mystic. How can I heal him? No effect on undead and constructs. Wait, hold on. Short rest. >> I thought I was going to boil him.

Why would they put it there? >> To conceal it, one would imagine. And to maintain the illusion of their own control above ground. >> Do you think we're ready to face the Elder Brain? >> With the stones in hand and the chosen dead, we stand as good a chance as we ever will. As to how good a chance that is, I cannot say. But I have hope. >> You know Boulders Gate best. So, how do we find the Morphic pool? >> If memory serves, there are smuggling routes beneath the city. They will take you underground. When we reach the pool, we will find the brain, and we will end this in death, thorom, or freedom. But a word of caution. Once we cross into the Elder Brain's domain, there will be no turning back. Finish your business here before you proceed. The brain will be waiting for us. Wow. Damn. So, this is it, huh? This is the point of no return. Oh, yeah. I uh I should actually do speak to the dead, right? Wait, where is his body? Oh, it's over I dude I freaking like I I abused his freaking dead corpse. I was throwing him against the wall doing everything. >> You seek Gortach. His soul is already suffering at my hands. That is the fate of all those who fail me. Is that Ball or Bane rather? Is it Ball or Bane? Bane. Okay. If you're not Gortach, then who are you? Oh, I guess I can ask. >> I am Bane, the black lord. I am the ultimate tyrant. I am fear. I am hate. And you, you are the dagger that bled Merkel's favored. You are the thorns that prick at my sides. >> I'm pricking. I'm pricking. You are proof that still I will rise and bar and Merkel will yield. One question asked, four still remain. >> Four? You said I prove you will rise. What do you mean? >> You live for power. You have proven it with every fallen foe, every chest opened, every skill claimed. As long as mortals and immortals v for sharper blades and louder voices, I am strengthened. So it is for Bal and Merkel. And so it is for you. You make me eternal. >> Yeah, but why does it even say that when there's not even that many? Oh, okay. I guess the dialogue keeps going. What can I do to earn your blessing? I'm just curious what he'll say, man. No, actually you know what? What can I do to learn? That doesn't mean I have to do it, but I'm just asking, right? It doesn't mean I have to commit to it. It just I'm I might just be curious. You know, >> you have already laid the foundation. You gained my favor when you slayed Gortach. Your need for power exceeds even his. Use the nether stones to commandeer the brain and unleash your infected army. And I will count you among my chosen. Or do not. Your lust for victory still brings you one step closer to me. >> Why did you ally with Merkel and Ball? >> Why do red dragons ally with the Githani? Why did the broken god befriend tier? Ah, but you already know the answer. By making one ally, you deny them to another. And by turning mortals illithid, you deny their souls to their keepers. You do not stoke fear by reaping your own fields, but by burning your foes. I am no agent of yours. I seek power for proper ends, not for its own sake. >> The corpse says nothing more. You did not ask a question. >> Okay. Well, chat, we defeated Gortach. You know what's the craziest thing about all this? By the way, the mystic carryon, the last boss, is still with us. Might be important to read. Yeah, I'll read it. Actually, Gortach private memoir notes. Number 16. The Astroprism Heist. After that dream I had about the Gith Yankee threat to our accelerated grand design, my research led me to pour through the old archives left behind in Moonrise Towers by the high heralds. These records include Whoops. These records included some surprisingly early sources. Both Gith Yankee and Gith Zarai Gith Yankee and Gith Zarai that mentioned a relic or artifact called the astral prism or the prism. Though the source of its power was unstated, this artifact was reputed to be able to project a field that disrupted Ilithids psionic. Such an artifact would clearly be an existential threat to both of our absolute ambitions and the grand design. All three of the ancient sources agreed the astral prism was in the hands of the Gith Yankee Lich Queen of Lack. Thus was born the plan to send a tadpoled strike team in a regrown nonaloid piloted by the emperor to steal the astral prison from Black. Wait, what? the plan to send a tadpoled strike team in a regrown nautiloid piloted by the emperor to steal the astral prism from Blackith. So from the very beginning of the game, we were corrupted. They like mind controlled us. Oh my gosh. So the emperor is the bad guy as well. The emperor is in cahoots. Oh my gosh. What? I was never in love with him. He's a dude. And I am not a lover of dudes. I am a lover of my fellow man as friendship, but not nothing more. Thank you. Oh my dude, I am blown away. So, what is our next quest? Destroy the Elder Brain. Wait, are we are we about to do the last boss? I think it's time to go to Lower City, Central Walt. Okay, time to kill Mr. Kerion. Chad, can we get some 07s? Mr. Kerrion, you fought us. You fought well. You fought hard. You helped kill Gortach, but now your time is up and we no longer need you. Your soul will be released. It is done. >> Yes, Thumbbo. We did it. We did it. Thumbbo. >> Yes. I don't know how to thank you. Here, please take this. I think it's valuable >> and I will need it. >> Two infernal diamonds. Stab of cherished necromancy. I guess it's time to go to the Balders's Gate gate. Morphic pool dock. I am Am I ready for this? Once you enter this place, there's no turning back. The finale is here, Chad. The end of Balders's Gate 3. Guys, it's time.
