Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Reach the transponder before the nautiloid crashes!

I certainly hope so.

In the early access they already have a ship crashes and game over message. I cleared out the transponder room and tried to go back into the nautiloid, then I got a message that the ship crashed and everyone died.

Oh, sweet, I'll have to try that

Can't you even force turn mode on yourself if I remember correctly? They showcased that a while ago as a way to navigate traps and safely prepare ambushes. But possible of course that it got removed?

You can indeed. Ctrl-Space if I remember correctly. It's the closest thing there is to pausing, though there is a slight cooldown on it after you turn it off.

So much speculation; so little time.

Oh yes you can ... presuming you do that in time.

Do you remember that HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE amount of feedback about companions, or even PCs standing in fire/poison as combat ended and dying instantly, bcs the game was dealing its damage in real time?
I do.

Happened to me once too and I hadn't saved in a while.

I would be ok with the 15 round penality, after all the game tries to make it urgent to reach the transponder. Doesn't make sense, that you then have all the time in the world to clear the room.

MAYBE I WANT THE GOLDEN SWORD!!

If you are playing a Cleric* or a Warlock-Fiend Patron you can cast Command: Disarm on Commander Zhalk and he has a 55% chance to drop the sword.

Then you can scoop it up on the way to the transponder.


*Shadowheart does not have the spell prepared in Early Access and as she is not a full companion yet you can't change her spells.

Haha, lovely! I wonder if after disarming, you could then also pull it with Mage Hand? Anyway, thank you very much for this tip, I'm gonna try that.

Apparently in the full game you can access companion inventory again, so stands to reason you can respec spells. Frankly, I'd rather just 'Command - Drop' the sword and get into Act 1 already.

I compared save times a while back and I was actually higher level sooner in one playthrough by _not_ killing the cambions. The time sink of spending 20 rounds doing 2-3 damage isn't necessarily optimal use of play time.

I still prefer to blow them all up with purple tanks, the good old fashioned way!

Cool.
Where was that confirmed?

So what is the quickest way to get the everburn blade?
I assume command: drop with shadowheart?

Does anyone know what the wis save of Commander Zhalk is?

Commander Zhalk in Early Access has a 12 Wisdom.

Nothing confirmed. ‘Stands to reason’ means I’m speculating. If we can manipulate companion inventory, why not spells?

That said, I don’t rate Everburn that highly, Susserblade is better.

I'm asking where it is confirmed that you have access to companion inventory on the Nautiloid?

I didn't get that far into the game.
But nevertheless I was torn between equipping Everburn or the Paladin Sword.

isnt 13-15 rounds pretty close to when you have to get it done anyway is the assistant bateezu (aka devil during the dnd is devilworship era) show up on their own?
Change being..?? OTOH during some patches your illithid master turns on you if you finish the job too quickly too of murdering zhalk for his sword.
