BG3 How to get Gandrel's crossbow without killing him - ish (DUO-NO REST-NO EXPLOITS | Ep. 16)
15A BG3 (Baldurs Gate 3) Duo Honor Mode Challenge Run. No rest-No Exploits.
Can you get Gandrel's Crossbow and still have him alive for the good ending in act 3? Yups, just knock his ass and grab it. He should be alive and happy come Act 3.... that is if you DO remember not to kill him of cause.
Once Gandrel has been dealt with we are off to the Goblin camp. Where we use the BEST way of getting in anywhere - Disguise self!

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.
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: Rest Chambers. Forced Rests. 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.
Extra rules about economy:
6: No Stealing from Vendors
Unless I am about to kill them. I can still steal from other people/items on the ground.
7: No Scroll spamming.
I'm not allowed to just stock up on scrolls and spam them to win a fight. I am still allowed to buy a few scrolls here and there and use what I find as I please.
Other goals:
Always attempt to take as little damage as possible in fights.
