Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Cambions spawn on illithid ship

Does anyone understend where 2 cambions should spawn after killing the commander Zhalk and illithid? When I going mage classes with no STR and use Laezel to move barrels they spawn at remote control and didnt see me, so that's easy to kill them. But today when I go with my warrior they have spawned after my back and I barely killed them. Is that thing is random or what?

they spawn by script when commander Zhalk gets down to his last few hit points and run into the room from the same door you entered by... this makes it somewhat random as to are you fighting them with your mind sucker pal or if you actually kill commander Zhalk before hitting X health with a big crit the mind sucker will turn against you {and then they spawn} making you have to fight every one and running is your only real chance at that point

I have managed to kill everyone twice [Bard and Cleric of Light runs] by casting "Faerie Fire" on Zhalk giving everyone 10 turns of advanage against him then recasting it against the spawns to cream them before finishing off the sucker with explosion barrels... the timing is tricky and my cleric was lucky because Wisdom was only 14 but i then had time to casually explore the helm

They do that if you close off the entrance to that room with barrels or objects to the point there is no way to path. I guess they flew around the side. Haha.

Easy way to solve them is to stack barrells along that entrance corridor ...
So you dont block the way in, and yet its impossible for them to avoid it. >:]

You have to be lucky tho, they are resistant to fire damage and sometimes that explosion dont hit them too hard ... other times, i managed to kill one right there, and the other was left with up to 20HP.
