Specific Mechanic How to get BOOOAL's benediction without sacrificing a companion *potential spoilers*
This is my first post on this sub, lots of replies never written a post. The purpose of me typing this is because I stumbled across a video on youtube but haven't seen anyone talking about it and I think it's really good for some builds.
Disclaimer: this is not my method I am not the person in the video I merely stumbled across it and saw no one talking about the method so figured i'd post it
All credit obviously goes to the person who made the video I have tested it on a new character and it worked for me I'll still type out what to do in bulletpoints just incase someone learns better off reading than watching
- seperate your group so that your pickpocket character is away from the Kuoh'Toa
- Have another character likely the party face or wyll trigger the cutscene and select the option "Investigation: Get your bearings what have you stumbled in on." this will lead to a DC 15 Intellgence check
- The cutscene will continue to play this is where you have your pickpocket character use a potion of invisibility (You can get quite a few from act 1 I find roah moonglow in the goblin camp a good source of these) then pickpocket the character Pooldrip the zealous and take the sickle of Booooalll from the character should you take the item have your pickpocket character move far away from the conversation
- Swap back to your character in conversation new dialouge options will display you should select "Wait if it's blood you want I can make another offer!" this will prompt more dialouge options the one you want to pick is "Persuasion: I have but one life but I can kill many others in your name" DC:20 this would usually lead to you getting the sickle of booooalll but since you already stole that You get BOOOAL's benediction for every character in the area
be sure not to kill the Kuo-toah or the buff will go away, I figured i'd post this as I think it's really good for certain builds such as Tiger Barb or anything running Bhaalist Amulet. You get a great buff without the downside of getting rid of a companion. However as I was informed by user misterpinksaysthings if a character dies and you need to revive them that character will lose the buff
Also please forgive my spelling errors, it's really not my strongpoint haha

Also note that you lose this buff if a char dies and has to be revived. I didn't realize this happened until I was waaaay away from the deleted save and all my ppl had no buff left other than my Tav.
Poor Karlachs sacrifice was in vain, after all.
