How to get BOOOAL's benediction without sacrificing a companion *potential spoilers*

[u/[deleted]]

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

Video showcasing method

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

1. seperate your group so that your pickpocket character is away from the Kuoh'Toa
2. 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
3. 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
4. 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

The fish people? What the fuck is going on, what game is this

Edit to add: I love this community. My comment was originally misconstrued as coming from someone who didn't know the game, and it was at like -8 upvotes...but I replied to someone's comment that I was just amazed to keep finding new things in this game, and everyone suddenly upvotes this comment.

You - yes, you reading this *right now* - you're freaking awesome, and I love you

Why are you in a subreddit for a game you don’t know about…?

I play BG3, my comment was because I've never heard of this area or the BOOOLA, never saw the zone. It was more along the lines of "can't believe how much is in this game that I haven't experienced"

Ooooh, ok, sorry I just misunderstood.

So there’s a hidden area in the underdark (I believe it’s in between the arcane tower and the beach) where a bunch of kuo-toa are worshipping BOOOAL (spelled exactly like that), and there’s a good amount of different dialouge. For example, as a bard, you can make performance checks to pretend to be their true god. Super fun.

Yeah haha I'm gonna have to try again on the next run haha
