Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Hotfix 14 or 15 mindflayer vs Commander Zhalk

Hello,
I started over during hotfix 15 with a dwarf rogue and when I got to the final fight in the mindflayer ship, there was an issue with the fight between Commander Zhalk and the mindflayer. Even though I was in combat mode, they fought until the mindflayer died outside of turn order, which means Zhalk is gonna run around and one shot kill the 3 person squad. This didn't happen the first time I played through during path 15 hotfix 13. (I assume 13 anyway, I don't see an announcement for it.)

I tried reloading the area but the same thing occurs.

I did some more testing and I think I figured out how to reproduce it. I used another character that was created after hotfix 15, a wood elf ranger->beastmaster. The first time I got there I didn't use stealth walking into the room, and the issue didn't occur. If I use Shadowheart's spell to increase the main character's sneak, then make everyone sneak, select the Githyanki to be who is leading the group, then walk into the room, it triggers combat for the imps but the mindflayer and Commander keep fighting till death outside of the turn based system.

I don't know if any of the rest is important or just sneaking will cause it, but I think that should be enough information.

That's a reversal - I usually use that trick against enemies, not have it used against me. Nice catch.
