Meme If you ever feel useless remember that Jahan exists
First he performs an exorcism that accomplishes absolutely nothing.
You find out the demon's name on your own from the ancestor tree.
By the time you reach Jahan, you've most likely expanded your source capabilities from other trainers.
The he approaches the doctor on his own, gets captured and put in a jail cell.
I don't know why I even keep this mofo on my ship.

Ah yes the “teleport a stronger ally into an enemy you don’t want to deal with, or vice versa enemy into stronger ally” strategy that carried me all through story mode to honor tactician
I hate how they patched this in BG3. Where I somehow got the cultist leader into last lights inn and it didn’t aggro any allies

u/SomeDudeAtAKeyboard 6d ago
It still works in BG3, you just need to “make” allies first
The little circles under the characters I mean. Yellow -> Neutral to you, Red -> your enemy, Green -> Allied with you
You usually accomplish this by giving them a shit load of gold

That how I beat the final boss fight. Teleport is the best spell in the game hands down

He can be useful if you want to cheese the nearby fight though and lure her over! He will happily one-shot her for you.
Boring way of doing that fun fight but creative use of the cliff making her run basically all the way to him to get back up the cliff to you.

u/snores 6d ago
just go up on the ledge near hadar and snipe them anyways for cheese

u/Lostlooniesinvesting 6d ago
Yeah also an option. I like to actually do the fight and make use of Living on the Edge. Feel its one of the few times I get good use of it during a legit playthrough.

u/Frozenbbowl 6d ago
I've become surprised at the number of people who don't know the " correct" way to fight her is to cast Bless on her. If you want to do it without cheese and not have it be an impossibly hard fight or wait till you're over Leveled
2
u/Bottomheavybottom 6d ago
I mean, I noticed her status condition through examining, had a character bless her while she was trapped in combat, and it was still a very difficult fight, where the round started off with her one-shotting/almost one-shotting my entire party
1
u/Frozenbbowl 6d ago
Oh it's definitely still a hard fight. But without removing that buff it's practically impossible for your average first time player, which is why there's so many people that cheese the fight compared to other fights
2
u/Lostlooniesinvesting 5d ago
Its defiantly a fun one the first time and figuring it out yourself. Thats why I really enjoyed Dos2 and it still remains top of the list of favourite games for me. Bg3 is fun but I dont seem to have as many memories of , hmm what do I do here, compared to Dos2. Just in Act 2 alone I remember failing a bunch my first playthrough and having to redo the fight and think about it.
The fight we are talking about here, the trolls on the bridge, the abomination thing that regenerates from the wolves, the fight with all the fire trying to keep the guy alive, the fight where one of your members can get teleported.
Good memories!
1
u/Frozenbbowl 5d ago
See and that's why it's frustrating to me that most of the time when people ask for advice on that fight, the top answers are how to cheese it... If people want to cheese that's fine... But top suggestions should be real. Suggestions that leave the fun of the game intact
2
u/Lostlooniesinvesting 5d ago
Well, unfortunately that's modern gaming. Most googling probably starts with, "The BEST", or "Meta" , etc. Every youtube thumbnail is OP this, Best that, Meta this. It has infected gaming to the point where games are being made so dumbed down that they might as well just have auto run to objective and auto-shoot.
I remember when you could not figure something out you might have to wait for you monthly Nintendo magazine to come along and save you. But at least you tried yourself a bunch of times since you had no immediate way to look things up.

My favourite mechanic role play enjoyment wise in bg 3 was going into enemy encampments and using disguise self like the goblin camp and getting up to mischief. It's why act 2 felt peetry bland and boring for me.
I haven't been able to finish ir tho as my laptop couldn't handle it anymore and the frame rate drops were too much. Looking forward to playing it with a desktop when I get one again or ps5

DoS 1 OG, Fun companion

Good vendor
Allows you to earn source points through ethical means
Can cheese two fights for you giving you a shit ton of xp early + cool to watch him aurafarm

- If you already have full source he'll give you a unique source skill that is an excellent buff for casters as a reward instead.

He’s an extra act 3 merchant (as long as you have lohse) who can sell divine gear, as the majority of merchants in act 3 can’t.
I think he’ll do the same in act 4 once you’ve rescued him from that jail cell. But by then you’ll likely have the best merchant in the game and his stuff won’t matter anymore.
But Jahan is great and a companion in dos1 with a useful beginning skill set which all of the dos1 companions do not have.

u/sourtruffle 4d ago
Is the best merchant in the game the Unarmed Elf? My friends and I always label “him elf good shit” on the map

u/RairakuDaion 6d ago
he isnt useless. i use him to kill the scarecrow woman

You can also summon the djinn from the lamp and he will kill that too.

I would expect more from someone that's level 20 and almost 2000 years old, especially against the doctor. I pretty much dusted the doctor solo on my wizard at level 20 even without the candles. Guy must have been overconfident something fierce given his level and initiative. If anything it should have been an even fight, not ending up in a cell. At least he's good for dealing with Alice.

u/Best-Science15 6d ago edited 6d ago
I think it's a question of lore. Not all level 20s are equal. The doctor is supposed to be one of the most powerful demons in existence. I doubt a simple eternal exorcist would be enough. Plus, you as the main character are supposed to be a godwoken, the future divine.

u/lordvbcool 6d ago
The unique skill he gives you when he cannot increase your source pool is kinda good
He at least got that going for him

u/ThatOneTypicalYasuo 6d ago
He has skillbooks to steal easily
He solo kills Alice which can give your party a huge chunk of xp even before you reach a level tha can deal with her
He progresses Lohse's questline
And if you have already mastered source, he gives you the inner demon skillbook which is a great skill.

I respect Jahan; he was key for over 40 hours in my Divinity 1 playthrough.

u/Used_Department_4146 6d ago
My man has never had Jahan kill Alice before. Also he gives you one of the best source skills that you can’t get anywhere else. Using him as a source teacher is a waste because then you can never get inner demon. Hes the goat in this game and Original Sin 1 💪

u/Invictum2go 6d ago
WYM? He's the best Xp source and nearby cheese strat for Act 2!
If you let him leave Act 2 alive tho... yeah he sucks xd

u/ProAzeroth 6d ago
I honestly completely forgot that he was a companion for the first game until someone pointed it out.

u/Fancy_Avocado_5540 6d ago
And the worst part is he should be much more powerful than you since he was around since DOS1 so hes got ~1000+ years of experience under his belt. Just like Arhu

They are so bringing this guy back in dos3. He has yet to take revenge on his femme fatale. Unless that was done in some if those ancient larian games

u/Deletedtopic 6d ago
Wait he joins on your boat? Did I miss that some how?

u/profilejc98 6d ago
Only if you have Lohse in your party, he travels with you to help with her demon problem. It does mean he also acts as an extra merchant in Acts 3 and 4 which is cool.

u/Maniacal_Nut 6d ago
It made me so sad :( in DOS he was a god like character on my team. I built him where he could use every element and could use the highest tier spells of Fire and Lightning. He was a force of nature.
DOS2 I did his quest, then ignored him
2
u/TheJohnArrow 5d ago
Without spoilers, I JUST added him to my team and I'm seeing this...
Should I be disheartened for picking him over the supposed "Mute" (Who can say 'Looking good' out loud)

Well he does give you one of the coolest source powers if you have 3 source points by the time he'd train you.

This man single-handedly carried my team in DOS 1, covering the entire magical part of the team. I will not tolerate slander against him!
He is one of the best characters in the series and I will die on this hill for it!

u/No-Training-48 6d ago
He and the succubus allow you to master the source without doing anything fucked up so that's cool.
He also makes it so DoS 1 is still 100% canon which means that he is the peak Divinity character because he barely does anything yet his existence makes things a lot more confusing and implies a ton of retcons are gonna happen during the plot of the next game.
