| Zhalk is encountered at the helm of the [[Nautiloid]], where he and his minions are fighting [[mind flayer]]s. Despite his impressive stats and powerful weapon, he is not aggressive to the party so long as the mind flayer he is fighting is alive (he has a 80% chance of hitting it). However, considering the 15 turn time limit along with the fact cambion reinforcements will eventually arrive, he must either be beaten or bypassed hastily.
| |
| | |
| If you simply wish to gain his [[Everburn Blade]], there is a simple way to get it without killing him. Before starting the fight, have [[Shadowheart]] or any other [[cleric]] prepare [[Command]] and use [[Command: Drop|Drop]] to disarm the cambion. Alternatively, you can give Command to a warlock during character creation as one of their known spells, and swap it out during the level up to 2nd level. He won't even bother to pick up his sword, giving you plenty of time to do so. If possible, use Command during the first time, while he is stunned by the Mind Flayer. Else he has a chance of succeeding his save against the spell.
| |
| | |
| As for killing him, it is far harder considering his large amount of [[hit points]], [[Armour Class|AC]] and being resistant to most [[Damage Types]] you can deal. However, there are three (or four if you picked it up in the last room), [[Nautiloid Tank]]s that are powerful explosives. While he is resistant to fire damage, all 3 to 4 tanks can take down half his health if the rolls are in your favour on both his [[Saving Throw]] and the damage rolled. It is recommended to only blow up the tanks once the Mind Flayer he is fighting has softened him up first. Also, disarming him as stated above will greatly lower his lethality. If he is still alive, using [[Caustic Bulb|Caustic Bulbs]], [[Spiked Bulb|Spiked Bulbs]], [[Magic Missile|Magic Missiles]] (If running as a [[Wizard]] or [[Sorcerer]]) and normal attacks to finish him off. Do keep in mind when he dies, the mind flayer will become hostile to you.
