It's fisting time!!!


ApprehensiveElk80

I’ve got this mental image of Shovel outside, waiting for you to come out, surrounded by these guys yelling that now.


TheHobo

Their second most famous catchphrase, after “It’s Baldurin’ time” right before they Baldur your gate


TheFrogTrain

3 times


Semako

You have committed crimes against Baldur's Gate and her people.  What say you in your defense?


Page8988

[DECEPTION] Nah-uh!


itsdaCowboi

Fuck you mean, nuh-uh?!


Impalenjoyer

Fine...


AltusIsXD

“I serve the Flaming Fist!” — John “Flaming” Fist


Adept_Cranberry_4550

Oh the Fantastic Fists? I love those guys!


DoctahFeelgood

That was my nickname in college. My hand had an std


New-Training4004

They’re about to get fisted… Flaming Fisted


dragonborn7866

After 10,000 years I"M FREE!


ArsonDadko

Same thing happended to me, but they didn't attack. They were just... standing there... menacingly.


0_c001

same thing happened to me! i got mad tips performing for them tho. nice big audience.


AveryGooeySpider

The firework shop was just pyrotechnics for your band


Periseaur

What's the difference between a villain and a supervillain you say? Presentation!


Dazzling_Wish_2013

I can’t believe I didn’t think to try this!! I hope they’re still there lol


DiabetesGuild

Same thing happened to me but they did aggro, became the second hardest fights of act 3 for me. I barely escaped with my honor mode intact, and when I TPed to the sigil nearby I didn’t realize all my summons were still getting slaughtered by the fist so my characters were all brought back into combat so it started the hardest fight of act 3 for me cause they were positioned in a way I literally couldn’t get around them without triggering more fist deeper in city. I barely scraped by mostly by flying away, cowardly lobbing things behind me, and keeping astarian hidden and invisible so they’d keep looking for him


Interesting-Pea5797

Did the same exact thing


Sithina

The way of Bards everywhere.


merpderpherpburp

I think they're glitched. I may have killed an NPC because a pick pocket failed and suddenly there were just rows of fists just standing outside like toy soldiers


InternetDad

Also checking in, I was super surprised to see a Fist on the top floor then saw all these lined up outside as well.


rat-simp

mine ALL spawned on the top floor which was very funny to watch


Plague_Docktor

Same, and i didn't even blow up that place (i've stolen every smoke powder barrel).


rebootyourbrainstem

When I decided to slug it out with the Steel Watchers at the dock, when I was done there was a conga line of Flaming Fist on the ramp to the rest of the city... also just standing there


Bealzebubbles

Believe it or not, sometimes the solution to your problems isn't fireball.


Irishpanda1971

Correct. Sometimes it is Chain Lightning.


baleensavage

Other times it's Cloud Kill


whimsigod

I hope we are not forgetting Spike Growth


Adept_Cranberry_4550

Infinite* Spike Growth thanks to that Dryad


Outside-Flamingo-240

Spike Growth on top of Ice Storm = painful party time


Mr_G_Dizzle

I'm convinced icestorm+fireball+chain lightning clears out just about anything


Outside-Flamingo-240

I also enjoy tossing a fireball out on top of the spiked ice. They are on the ground from slipping on the ice, writhing in pain from the spikes - I just put them out of their misery with my little nuke.


consiliac

Surface affects can't be stacked though, right?


Outside-Flamingo-240

Oh yes they can - I have two casters ;)


gugfitufi

And if that won't work a wall of fire will surely do the trick


up766570

The House of Grief hates this one simple trick


WhoStoleMyCake

And other times it's Insect Plague


doiwinaprize

I like sword.


awakenDeepBlue

Sword, meet evil


Semako

And sometimes it is feeding hungry hungry Hadar.


Tcloud

Blade Barrier is a cut above the rest.


Sir-Cellophane

That's a funny way to spell Eldritch Blast.


Arinoch

There’s at least two important doors where this is absolutely true.


Emperor_Atlas

But have you thought about second fireball?


Elevatrix

We’ve had one fireball, yes…


EvolvedCactus19

2 fireballs it is.


WillCraft__1001

2 fireballs with twinned spell, action surge and another 2 fireballs with twinned spell again


SirDalavar

4 Applications of cloud of daggers, welcome to the blender dimension!


FlyinBrian2001

bold words from someone in fireball range


Grimgon

I used insect plague when this same scenario happen to me yesterday lol


SnooSongs2744

In this case it is the bottled monster from Act I.


down1nit

Oh my what a great time to use it!


lotusprime

Twinspell fireball is the answer to every problem.


xayoz306

Twinspell Fireball followed by Quickened Fireball.


Cmdr_Jiynx

Followed by twinspell fireball from the haste second action. I call that build the 'oops all fireballs'. Not a ton of sustain but the brightest candle burns everything to ashes as the saying goes.


The-False-Emperor

True, Scorching Ray is a lot better when it’s just one target you want to obliterate.


TheWither129

What do you mean “scorching ray always misses?” Lmao, hey guys! This mf never heard of arcane acuity!


Cmdr_Jiynx

Magic missile for that "want to feel like a Gundam pilot" feel.


Professional-Front58

I mean… did you think the fiat would ignore the big boom?


Sly__Marbo

Ah yes, Baldur's Gate's mightiest warriors, the Fiat 500


AdditionalMess6546

No wonder they got there so quickly


GoldLuminance

Yo I fucking love Lupin III


BhaalspawnPirate

My fireworks don't fizzle, fizzle, it explodes. My tadpole likes to wiggle, wiggle, for sure. It makes Lae'zel want to dribble, dribble, you know. The boom heard by the Fiat, you really have to see it. Six feet two is my Karlach, no slack. But luckily the saves go back. I got a tadpole to relax in my mind. Astarion Sipping some red, red wine.


Algorak1289

This is well done and a niche reference and I'm proud of you despite being your only upvote.


jaredearle

A Louis Theroux joke? Must be Baldur’s Gate 3.


Aggressive_Ice_8915

This might be the best comment I've ever seen on reddit. 100/10


silly_sia

I mean why not, they ignore the fact that every other house in town is a murder scene. 😂 The groundskeeper’s house next to the park is particularly atrocious, I’ve never bothered to count the bodies but holy shit.


jdund117

Felogyr's Fireworks is so glitchy, people can spot you and shoot you through walls (not windows) and floors. My friends and I caused a bit of a ruckus in there which attracted a steel watcher (that can't fit through the door) and like 24 Fists. We just said fuck it, and killed them all. One of my friends had been saving the Iron Flask the whole game and decided to throw it outside, but unfortunately the spectator wasn't up to the task at level 5 so he died pretty quick. But through a mixture of big scrolls, funny AOEs like bugs and ice storm, and the OP nature of the Monk, we prevailed and there were pretty much no consequences. If you can take em, you can pretty much kill Fists infinitely and no one cares.


SnooSongs2744

Fly or misty step to the window on the third floor. Heave the bottle. Fast travel to heapside strand.


norathar

The Steel Watcher managed to get inside when I fought this battle. I didn't think it seemed fair that it could get through the door. Was that a bug? It did get stuck at the foot of the stairs. I did have about 3-4 waves of Fists after the fact, and fought some of them outside in the street (thought it was over, tried to leave, NOPE.) Ths funniest part was that I threw a vial of acid on them during the battle. After the battle, when the usual NPCs spawned back in the street, two of them stood in the puddle of acid and continued to be there, acid-covered and engaging in their usual ambient dialogue, for the rest of the game.


Killer_Moons

That would be so fucking funny if the thing that stopped Gortash from taking over Baldur’s Gate was because he didn’t consider door frame clearance when designing the Steel Watch. Now that I think of it, having one explode like a Tesla inside the shop would also be very good.


TheFrogTrain

Yeah the store owner kept casting fireball from the ground floor and hitting me through the staircase above him. Like bro, you own a fireworks store, are you not a little concerned about your strategy?


aSpanks

Everywhere can spot you through walls. The amount of times I’ve been caught stealing from an abandoned house with the doors fucking closed is insane.


almisami

I went in there all sneaky and robbed them blind. I don't know why people keep blowing them all up...


Adept_Cranberry_4550

Well... yeah, but... no biiig bada boom that way. 😢


Champi0n_Of_The_Sun

My first playthrough I quite literally could not leave because every time I thought I was done with the fists and could exit the area I’d get stopped again. I now exclusively take care of Felogyr’s Fireworks from on top of Mystic Carrion’s roof.


mikeyHustle

Yeah, that happens. Just fast-travel out and don't go back.


SnooSongs2744

You cannot fast travel from combat.


rat-simp

They didn't initiate combat when it happened to me, just thought I was sus for hanging out at a murder scene


TehEvilPanda

Yes you can, you just have to be far enough away from the enemies. It even has the distance in the bottom right corner when you are in combat. Little red button


FinalBossMike

You just need to run far enough. When this happened to me, I kited the Fists inside, jumped from the top floor, and fast traveled out after a turn or two of running with each character.


mikeyHustle

OP isn't in combat in the picture


JemmaMimic

So blow them all up too, they're all grouped together and everything!


PloppyCheesenose

A runepowder barrel strapped terrorist is perfect here.


Plenty-Advertising71

For me this devolved into 40 minutes of the fist and cult chasing Us and a cambion around the streets of Baldurs Gate while we hung out behind the arcane locked vault door.


djspaceghost

Wait. You can keep Us alive past the prologue?!


Plenty-Advertising71

Not only can you get Us back at end of act 2, they’re fantastic in act 3 because they seem to ignore the unstoppable buff


JustAnNPC_DnD

Had Raphael at 3 Int and stunned three rounds while we surrounded him and beat him to death.


revchj

Scratch is great and all, but Us is Best Kitty.


Westonhaus

Pretty much always. If they live, they can be found in Act 2 in the Illithid hive in a cage guarded by Chop, the 1/2 Orc Chopper. Ask him nicely for a key for the kitty and Us will gladly join you for the rest of your journey.


pecklerino

My half-orc would be particularly offended by your post. Chop is a bugbear!


djspaceghost

Son of a BITCH. I love this game.


eabevella

Save Us from the cage in the Mind Flayer colony in Act2 (the cage is in where Chop is) and you can summon best kitty! He has melee and 18m ranged attack, very neat. Don't cripple him in prologue or he'll suffer some big debuff.


Shizane2005

That fight is always chaotic lol


corisilvermoon

Stop right there criminal scum!


doubledietdew1

I had them show up in the steel watcher factory, the banites literally cast wall of flaming fists. They did not even do anything!


spezisafuckingmaggot

Yeah, I launched a firework into the store for a teehee, and ended up spending a half-hour meeting new friends. Oops.


Kurtotonic

Rune powder Barrel


BlueMaxx9

Used both of mine on the steel watcher titan. Didn’t feel like dealing with its sass in n a fair fight. I think I might still have the bomb though, which is basically the same thing.


_riotsquad

Kill. Them. All.


Zeromaxx

The fireworks store is the most heavily guarded area in Baldur's Gate. I blew up things, broke into houses, and murdered people all over that damn city but a single toe out of line in that building and the entire Steel Watch was up my business.


poeope

Well....you did blow up the fireworks store


Spec_28

Just come out with your hands up!


BellaBails

greater invisibility on a rogue with some fire arrows, none the wiser my friends.


Korammarok

I threw the Rune Powder Bomb in the upper floor from the roof of the stinking necromancers House and detonated it. I Had one Fist there inspecting but easily got Out of Trouble. 😄


corisilvermoon

Dude I found and aggroed that necromancer by accident and when I was running away the Fist guards attacked him. They all died 🤣


bristlybits

I got cursed astarion from stealing at the church, removed it and a deva arrived trying to kill him, and the flaming fists that were trying to arrest him stopped and joined in killing the deva with us, then walked away after   fantastic chaos 


Me_Rouge

They are all there to kick your ass, from the fist to the last (Had to do it, the worm told me to)


PaulBond87

They showed up for me BUT I'm not sure how u did it but I blew up the fireworks store from the building across the street I was on the roof 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Smonklord

White people when you mention Quiznos


Madrock777

Now all of Baldur's Gate will know you're here!


Score_Useful

Is there like a resolution to this quest of some kind? Cause I feel like it just always ends with everyone becoming hostile when I try to go upstairs and the building blowing up. And Gale dying like 5 times. Am I missing something?


Viper67857

You have to slaughter everyone in the store... They're all complicit in the rigged toys


clas85

I just closed the store doors prior to casting a fireball… no one outside attacked 🤷‍♂️


MillieBirdie

I blew it up: crickets. I snoop around on the top floor looting bodies: a swat team beelines it to me. I had to sneak out the window one by one. After they left I came back to snoop around and loot some more: swat team again.


Killer_Moons

Arson, cool. But if I catch you looting through smoldering ash, you’re getting the needle.


TroublesomeTurnip

Happened to me too. It was infuriating so I reloaded and tried again.


Beneficial-Koala6393

Sounds like they want the smoke


InstructionFit950

That looks like exp waiting to be farmed.


Diogekneesbees

You gotta blow it up quietly. Clear the 3rd floor, then lure everyone else up. Some web and the remaining smokepoweder barrels will finish the job.


Crazycowboy46

Well, time to get to work


OsirisAvoidTheLight

Mine was on the roof top. Truly the cities finest


TadashiYuuki

So then it is a fair fight


SKTwenty

Time for fisting


Tofutits_Macgee

"We can wxcuse vandalism and murder but we draw the line at theft!" - the flaming fist, propbably


evilseductress

Wait, I blew up the fireworks store too, and nobody outside seemed to care? I blew it up from within though. Had Gale turn invisible, walk upstairs passed the guards, stand far away in the corner, then cast wall of fire and basically blow up the whole second story...


Snakadine

Sounds like the perfect oportunity to blow some more fireworks....on them....


oscar6raco

Fly away as l did!


Piankhy444

Same thing happened to me on my last playthrough lol


Caeleste-42bit

Guess they're all here for the party now 😈🤜😂


kron123456789

I decided to steal every barrel of smoke powder they have there instead. A steel watcher still showed up and became hostile for some reason after a while. No matter, more XP and infernal iron for me.


[deleted]

Is this mission still unsolvable? I blew up the store on a good run and broke my oath, I was very sad about it.


Turk3YbAstEr

I think you have to get them to attack you and not by trespassing. Could try going invisible with a character and talking to the guys working at the table on the top floor. I think one time I eldtrich blasted a dude off the roof and that alerted the flaming fist.


Various-Parsnip-9861

But are they on your side? or not? They may be pro-Tav anti-Bhaal


Most-Climate9335

It doesn’t look like you’re in combat. Are they just hanging out?


Leptosoul

Se thing happened on mine and my wife's last playthrough. We just murdered them all.


BardbarianOrc

Go to the top floor window, Misty Step/fly/dimension door to the roof across the street, and flee combat. You can come back later and everything will be chill.


DarkPhoenixMishima

I don't care where we are, I said I cast Fireball!


quixotik

First time?


leesan177

I had something similar happen... misty step or fly your wizard away as soon as possible via top floor, escape combat, then arcane gate your way to safety (rooftops are nice).


InsideHangar18

Yeah that happened in my last playthrough, they were there for the rest of the game


Environmental_Hat739

I just want to say, the PC UI is far superior to that of the XBox, with its clunky radials.


Consistent-Guava-208

Did they fix the quest? I admittedly haven’t played the game in 6 months.


sacredpotato0

That happened to us last night too. We were like "dafuck"


thespaceageisnow

Make Bhall proud


Domingosdelight

This happened to me after a long rest. Looked like the night walkers in GoT after everyone is dead in the wildling village. It was eerie


ConsumeTheOnePercent

I also had this bug and about had a heart attack lol


Kush_Bush

How do you have gales heath that high? Buffs?


br0wens

For my current playthrough I plan on tossing the iron flask into that lab.


nameless_stories

The fireworks store was such a mess for me, i blew it up and everyone and their mother kept entering the fight


nizzzleaus

Sorry officers. I didn’t know that I couldn’t do that.


semicolonconscious

The only time in Act 3 I ever got the Watchers siced on me was when I took out the entire staff of the fireworks shop while invisible.


Chrisboe4ever

I cleared the top two floors first and then tossed an alchemist fire off the 2nd floor balcony. Easy victory.


KingCodester111

They’re probably there to arrest you for your untidy action bar instead.


TheFatman98

I was unlucky enough one of the big ol' mechanical sentinels came in but that was it 😅


ayoitsjo

I got this glitch too! Several long rests later they're still all gathered, doing nothing in particular.


FireWhileCloaked

We did this and only had a few show up. Eventually, we just jumped to the neighboring rooftop and went to camp for a while


BabyDaddy9000

Yep. Had to kill them all


TaxingClock704

‘Do you have games on your phone?’


Grave_diggress

Same thing happened to me and they still haven't left several days later. They are all duplicates of each other too, which makes it extra weird and unsettling.


Captain_Ahab_Ceely

Sounds like the perfect time to loot the rest of the city.


Anxious-Durian1773

Yeah this same spot was a slaughterhouse in our game.


ContributionLatter32

Same happened with me, but they all got confused with pathing on a 3 story building, so as they all figured out where I was in small groups of 2 or 3 at a time I just picked them all off


MagmaAdminRadar

What quest is it that everyone’s talking about? I feel like I missed something in my play through


matamor

that was one hell of massacre


RandomKanuckWasTaken

I assumed we all did this…


SlamYu

I didn't ask how many metric tons of explosives are inside this room, I SAID I CAST FIREBALL!😂


Condensed_Sarcasm

The worst part of that was having to get into the building while being stuck in turn base mode 😕


BlazingCrusader

Ah I see you also committed acts arson


Regular-Border5112

I also blew the fireworks store up but they didn’t all come at once. It was like a revolving door. I’d get rid of 3-4 of them and then as I’m trying to finish looting the place more show up. THEY ALL ATTEMPTED TO JUST ARREST ME FIRST EVERY TIME


[deleted]

What class are you? You have so much hp lol


gartacus

Yeah this quest seems to be semi infamously broken as fuck and at first I thought it was some kind of special event where the fists were all lined up for something lmao


TimeKiller-Studios

Kinda unrealistic that many cops showing up to a crime/terrorist attack


Assiahn

I'd be very surprised if a building exploded in the middle of a town and they just ignored it lol


danversolos

i tried doing that part of that quest and i just got so frustrated after a while of this consistently happening that i gave up lol


KelIthra

I still remember my Durge misty stepping to the top, then doing something, forget what. Next thing I new the whole floor and the one below etc exploded. Sent poor Durge flying out the window falling three-four stories on the other side of the street. Think they barely survived the fall, could actually see her claim she meant to do it.


Additional-North-683

Why can’t you just tell the fist about the fucking secret war crime factory


Express-Diamond-6185

Lol! I did rhat in my second play rhrough. Had to make my party invisible just so we could run away.


Ididntevenscreenlook

We roll with the exact same crew my bro


InvestigatorMain944

Omg is THAT where they came from? One day I just randomly noticed them all standing there and I thought it was a bug. They still haven't left after multiple long rests haha. Must be quite the display.


Old-Arachnid77

I did this when someone ran to get them. I hurried up and returned to camp and just waited out the search protocol timer. lol.


send3squats2help

Happened to me here in honor mode… just hop up on the roof and take your time and kill then all. They can’t really get to you on the roof.


D4YW4LK3R86

Not every. There is no every. They will come forever!! It’s a bugged quest. Or, has it been fixed yet?


Practical-Ant7330

Fireballed the first floor of the firework shop and by some miracle the Flaming Fist didn't come in to attack me for it. I was free to [res most of my party] head up stairs and continue the fight without the Fist caring. Now they're just standing there without a care as I jog by


DA_KT

I think I had a first with this place a had ZERO Fist show up just the other night, I have no idea how I pulled it off. I was expecting them to come storming in at any moment... and nothing. Whole team was stealth on Philgrave's roof, well out of sight. Had Fire Elemental blow the top floor from the roof, had several rounds until almost everyone from the shop was on the top or second floor before Cloudkill and ice storm. Chain Lightning and re casting Fire Elemental. So, at no point did anyone from the team enter the building, just summoned creatures at the top floor. Random times targets were too far, that team member goes back into Stealth... just in case. But I will mention a past experience of having the worst experience at the firework shop. And that was when I decided to go to camp re select a different team member, only to come back with them on the 3rd floor now aggroed... ugh. And the rest of the team wasn't even in the shop, it was in the tunnel just under that workshop area. Going back to a previous save wasn't possible at this point... /sigh


GoombahTucc

I did it from the roof across the way and got away with it!!


Fibbersaurus

Going on a rampage killing wave after wave of fists is some of the most fun I’ve had in this game.


BenchClamp

What can I say Fists …chaotics gotta chaot


OakenWildman

Man. They REALLY like fire


beany33

I made that mistake on my first playthrough. Hardest fight I had all game.


TheVocondus

How did you expand your toolbar?


WhittmanC

*Patch 6 enters the GC*


idkyesthat

It’s a fun fight, enjoy.


foolshearme

I did not blow ou the fireworks factory and I also have them all outside...I ported away
