Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Commander Zhalk's Flaming Sword Sheath/Unsheath

As the title says, after you have looted Commander Zhalk's flaming sword aboard the Nautiloid at the beginning of the game, the weapon is always unsheathed.

- Kill Commander Zhalk
- Loot weapon (Everburn Blade)
- Finish Nautiloid section
- Meet Lae'Zel
- Equip the weapon on her

=> Weapon is always unsheathed and can't be sheathed, so she is always running around with the weapon in her hands, even when in camp and she is drinking from a cup, she has the weapon in that same hand during the drinking animation.

I think it's a bug because of the constant fire on her. You can't sheat any weapon while dipped on fire, at least all the weapons I've tried I had to wait for the fire to vanish first. So because of that, we are getting that weird bug. I think it will be fixed or maybe even changed in future patches.

I see I am not the only person bothered by my character holding a flaming sword blade with their bare hands while not in combat.

The holding thing may be more of a dwarf/halfling issue? Is the idea that two handed weapons are too big for them to walk around with them sheathed on their backs? Even thought they are sheathed on their backs in cut scenes? I ask because my dwarf is now using the greatsword from that fallen Paladin and he's still walking around holding it with both hands when not in combat.

The demon commander from Natuloid now has a two-handed sword - 2d6 + 1d4 fire. Great weapon for Laezel to start the game! Very enjoyable and does not break the balance.

Now the ability to kill Commander Zhalk looks like a reward feature for the curious player (and it's much easier to do it than before), and killing two other demons still looks like an easter egg. I have not tried to kill them, it is very difficult

I love it.
