Tips, Tricks, Exploits & Gimmicks

Entries

  1. EXPLOIT

    Act 1 Helldusk Armour

    Extremely high AC heavy armour that you do not need proficiency to wear. A decent amount of XP as well.

  2. TECH

    Bank of Volo Kidnapping

    A very useful speed running tech that ANYONE can learn and do. Even easier to execute on console.

  3. EXPLOIT

    Child Labour

    The children yearn for the mines — and you can fulfill their dreams.

  4. EXPLOIT

    Condition Locking

    Replicate the Shadeclinger Armour bug — keep the beneficial condition after removing the item, now with many more items.

  5. GIMMICK

    Dagger Paladin

    Get additional Divine Smite uses with a paladin and a dagger.

  6. TRICK

    DRS Potential

    Some Damage Rider Sources are still alive and well in Honour Mode — a very brief but satisfying primer.

  7. EXPLOIT

    Dual Wield without the Feat

    Equip two main-hand weapons via an item-swap method — no Dual Wielder feat required.

  8. EXPLOIT

    Free Shield of Faith

    A spore-servant Priestess Gut casts Shield of Faith on your entire party without concentration — refresh at Glut after each long rest.

  9. TECH

    Infinite First Turns

    Thin the herd a little before committing to the turn order. Most compatible with the Stealth Archer build.

  10. EXPLOIT

    Infinite Sorcery Points & Spell Slots

    Omit long rest cycles on solo runs — removes the downtime of daily buff cycle routines.

  11. GIMMICK

    Magic Clubs

    A very silly unintended weapon that breaks all damage numbers and floods your damage log — a fun starting point to explore DRS.

  12. TECH

    Moonlantern Skip

    A quick trip to Act 2 to expedite party power on subsequent playthroughs — access to stronger gear and items.

  13. EXPLOIT

    Poly Dominate

    Build an orphanage for the strongest summons — wifi children for buffs.

  14. GIMMICK

    Shopping District

    Either version of the Volo kidnap can be used to collect your favourite vendors together.

  15. EXPLOIT

    Space Gummy Duplication

    Exactly what it sounds like — turn some space gummies into many space gummies.

  16. TRICK

    Surprise Rounds

    How to trigger Surprise rounds consistently — and why many bosses (especially on Honour Mode) can't be surprised at all.

  17. TECH

    Turn Buffering

    Usable by ANY class — use spell slots, channel divinity, metamagics, rage, ki points and so on without ever spending the resource.

  18. EXPLOIT

    Vendor Exploits

    Saves at least 5 hours every playthrough — a fun back and forth exchange between the community and Larian with the hotfixes.
