You can still get fire sword from the ship but it mega mega near impossible !

I was able to do it . alot of RNG involve but manage to kill him thx to my squid friend. But then he turns to attack you and other level 4 imps want to kill you too. so you must at least have 1 person already set up to run to activate the ship.
But reward is huge .

its not impossible just hard most of us how played the EA got the sword

[Eldiora]

Had Shadow Heart and my Paladin Bless and Buff the Mindflayer so he hits the boss, worked out with a few turns to spare. The 2 reinforcements are worse, luckily they did not reach me before the boss died. I love that weapon.

Wizards and Fiend Warlocks can just cast Command - Drop Weapon on him.

[barentsoya]

Clerics can also cast Command - Drop Weapon. Perfect start for your warpriest!

[Morai]

Shadowheart has Command as well.
