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 🙂

Hey Elven 🙂 When rolling with advantage, two dice are rolled, but the combat log only displays the higher result.

So not its not bugged, its just doing the calculations quickly.

But it does show 2 dice on screen, maybe you just clicked past it without realizing.

I show how it looks in my video here https://youtu.be/F5FrzN2153c?t=522
