Half-cheesing the Netherbrain (Honour Mode) | Baldur's Gate 3
UPD: since patch 6 the invisibility trick doesn’t seem to work, it disappears after climbing the brain stem & only summons remain invisible.
I decided to cheese the first half of the final boss battle by using invisibility (just to be on the safe side since it was my first HM run).
At the start I planned to cheese the second half too by throwing a bag of explosives/fireworks at the Brain. However, I accidentally threw a wrong bag & after it got stuck in the air I took it as a sign from the universe to at least attempt to put up a proper fight. So, here is how it went. I resorted to mostly spamming high level scrolls. How did I acquire such a mighty stash? The answer is simple: crime.
The party was at level 12: Astarion - 8 Open Hand Monk / 4 Rogue Thief, Karlach (TB thrower) - 5 Berserker Barbarian / 4 Rogue Thief / 3 Eldritch Knight Fighter, Dark Urge - 8 Swords Bard / 2 Fighter / 1 Wizard / 1 War Cleric. I sided with Orpheus.
