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.

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.

Protip: Aggro range of those cambion is 16-17m, and they dont aggro on attack (just spell cast). If you position properly, you can kill both cambions out of combat for an extra 150xp.

What are you talking about? As soon as they spawn they rush into the area, you aren't doing anything to them out of combat. Plus you've got the time limit.

Give Shadowheart Command and have him drop the weapon and pick it up. Done.

Not really. It's a good weapon early-game when even +1 weapons are rare, but you'll get much, much better as you progress.

An extra 2.5 avg damage is nice but it's not worth agonizing over.

My guy it's literally just a regular ass greatsword with 1d4 fire damage added on. That averages to like, +2 damage. It's outclassed by the first +1 greatsword or greataxe you can get your hands on.

Oh yeah, there's a trick to prevent them from interfering. If you pick up the two cartilage chests scattered around the nautiloid, you can place them in the hallway leading to the bridge and block their pathing so they can't get to the fight.

And how are you supposed to kill them within the time limit even with them not attacking you?

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.

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

Isnt that have very low hit chance to him? I dont reload that often using disarm warrior because there are many ways to boost it disarm attack hit chance. I respec Karlach in my case.

It's like 55% which is damn good considering the situation.

you aren't. that's why you block them from engaging in combat with you.
the one you're supposed to kill or disarm at least is the General. having to deal with the General AND two more cambions is... very very unpleasant. No way could anybody win that fight normally. don't let anybody tell you otherwise, because they ARE cheating.

Step 3.5 Reload your game if he saves or cast the spell again.
Step 4. Pick up the sword and transfer it to your main character.

yes, that particular spell (command) has a decent chance of hitting. it's your main physical attacks that have a terrible chance to hit.

which, btw, is not until much later in Act 1. it's a decent weapon at the time you get it.

No im not referring everburn blade, im talking about Kithrak Voss blade. He is level 12, in act 1 even if you do all quest you will be around lvl 6 i think. Command can make him drop his blade but in my attempt the chance is so low that Im not going to bother. Much faster to just grab some hireling or respec someone into warrior. Drink invis potion, sneak and straight disarm him. That blade is the best sword in act 1 and 2 so it is more worth it to spend time to get that sword instead of everburn blade even if you are not a gith. If a gith using it that blade easily is one of the best sword.

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.

I made most of act 1 with that blade, on my TAV. Then my TAV and Lae'zel get both giths swords at the monastery, but until then I found no better greatsword sword.

Simple, pick cleric and take the command spell, then have the demon drop the sword, equip to fighter either you or lae'zel then kick the demon's ass, should put you at level 2 by the time you reach the beach, the best strat is to take out the straglers with shadowheart and use all your attacks spells magic ect. on the demon then have shadowheart sprint to the machine, guiding bolt will be your best friend during this for both the illithid and the new weilder of the everburn. have fun and you can change your class and stats later with withers so enjoy! many bosses can be taken out by just removing their weapon from their hands and taking it
