How to kill Commander Zhalk?
I just read your guide https://www.dnd.town/guides/things-not-to-miss-in-baldurs-gate-3/ realized i totally missed the Everburn Blade weapon from Commander Zhalk. So I started a new game to try to get it, but man I just can’t kill him, does anyone have any advice for me? Thanks

Hey @Garrit yeah don’t feel bad, I also foolishly followed that mind flayer’s advice and ran straight for the console, leaving that fiery blade on the ship, never to be seen again 🙁
I then attempted it on a second character and got it, but he definitely is not easy, as they buffed him for the release version. Took me a lot of tries, but was worth it. There are various ways you can increase your power, but it still comes down to a lot of RNG.
I’ll create you a guide tomorrow, but some quick tips that I can give to your right now is to:
- Save the brain in the second room from where you start the game – he becomes a 4th party member and usually hits harder than your own party members.
- Use Shadowheart to either buff the mind flayer, keeping him alive or to use guiding bolt on Commander Zhalk.
- Don’t cross too far past the fight, as this will trigger extra mobs to spawn at the stairs, which you really don’t have time to deal with.
- While the game says you have 15 turns to kill him, you actually only have about 8, as the two devil assassins spawn on turn 9 and will reach and one shot your characters by turn 7.
- There is a trick with Command spell that I never tried, but will make another character and try again tomorrow using it to see if it works, while writing the guide.
Hope that helps for now 🙂
