Everburn Blade is impossible for casual

[WookieNinja87]

If you don't have the 4+ hours to just fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, fail, and fail for forever then you will not get this weapon. I understand that it's one of the best weapons but the only time you can get it is on the nautiloid and it's near impossible to get especially if like me you only get an hour or two to play a day. Many saves and many more reloads, different tactics tried and nothing worked. Those that say it's easy or got it in one go I'm convinced are no life kids. I love the game but damn it pisses me off when there's a powerful weapon that is locked out for me because I have a life and work.

In all the save files I've done, he's only not dropped it for me once, and right after that reload he did.

His percentage isn't even that low so quite frankly, I have no idea what you're doing wrong to fail this hard at it. 😅

It took my team 3 tries to kill the devil for the flaming sword. Did I get lucky?

Command: Drop weapon

[Empukris]

Everburn blade is much easier to get if you collect all those explosive barrel and put it on his feet. It will not kill him straight away but enough to severely damage him, from there just kill him nornally without relying on disarm.

The legendary twohanded githyanki sword however required a lot of savescum. As the only way to get it early is with disarm warrior but you cant use laezel.

Pick up a chest and block the door way. The additional adds wont be able to get past it. Make sure Shadowheart has Command prepared and Use "Drop Weapon" on the commander. You'll get it in no time =)

[Old Ironsides]

Shadowheart's spell "Command". Use the drop option on him.

Only one character needs to reach the controls and use them.

My last attempt I command dropped him. He dropped the sword but it wasn't on the ground anywhere. I figured it dropped but was in his inventory so I had to kill him. Took forever and got him to 8 hp before tweedle dee and tweedle dum came in and decided to one shot my whole team. It's just stupid. Over an hour with nothing for it. Just wasted.

The everburn blade is not even that good. I'm pretty sure it's the same as just dipping a normal greatsword in fire (not that substantial). If you really want to get an OP sword early, there's a gith that had a 9% save chance against my paladin's command drop that you can do some research about.

Drop weapon command works for the githyanki sword as well. That's how I got it after 20 or so reloads.

I did that as well. I collected all 4 barrels it allows and dropped them near him only for them to drop about 5-10 feet away. It doesn't let you place them accurately which makes it hard. Trust me I tried 4-5 times. I have done these suggestions. Blow him up, he survives with 30+ hp and mindflayer dies he goes on to one shot my party. Command him to drop, sword disappears and before I can kill him the cronies fly into existanse and one shot my party. I just see no answer in the hour or two a day that I get to play.

I always "cheat" to get it because I'm in a hurry.

Basically, here's what you do:

• Prepare Command and Protection From Evil and Good on Shadowheart if you are not yourself playing a Cleric.

• When the fight on the bridge starts have Shadowheart cast Command: Drop on Zhalk. Save just before castimg so you can reload if needed. Move Shadowheart as close to the mindflayer as you can.

• On her next turn have her cast Prot From Evil/Good on the mindflayer. You may need to use Jump to get close enough.

• So, you can either grab the sword and run if that's all you want, or proceed to farm xp by getting some kills, up to you.

• Have Laezel collect all the tanks (including the one in the chamber where you find Shadowheart). Place them around Zhalk and the mindflayer, but sligjtly further away from Zhalk.

• Now, you can equip Laezel with Everburn and have her wail away on Zhalk (savescum if you want, only accepting hits from her) until the adds arrive (I've had more issues killing Zhalk too quickly and then the minsflayer turns on me).

• Make sure somebody (preferably the weakest character in this fight) is next to the controls rdy to connect before the timer runs out.

• Shadowheart has Firebolt if your MC doesn't and can ignite the nautiloid tanks. You can use them to finish off Zhalk and the mindflayer, or you can try to time it to hit the adds too (you gotta line them up using the mindflayer, which can be tricky). They have a LOT of treasure and the xp is nice. Loot all the other mindflayer and cambion corpses while you do this (a couple random gems).

• Keep an eye on the timer, savescum as much as you need - before every attack if necessary - to get it all done in time.

Hold left-Alt to see what's on the ground.

Save before the Mindflayer attacks and save once he lands a stun on the devil. Once the devil is stunned you can hit him with Inflict Wounds. 3d10 takes him down pretty quick.
