Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Stupid mindflayer (nautiloid - spoiler )

It looks like they strengthened Zalkh on the nautiloid. ( I started the first PT with a ranger , beginning of August and managed to take Zalkh out. ) The number of misses from our friend the mindflayer now were impressive. But the reason why I add this in the "problems" topic, is that my bard succeeded in downing Zalkh twice with Tasha's uncontrollable laughter.
And twice the stupid mindflayer skipped his round and just stood there, instead of whacking the prone devil.

Tried several things, but never got Zhalk under 50 HP before the party, including the stupid mindflayer had gone down.

There also seems to be less loot on the nautiloid compared to august.

Shadowheart managed to get a successful "bane" cast on Zhalk. (OK, with a tiiiny bit of save scumming)
I buffed Lae'zel with bardic inspiration
But even with Bane, the mindflayer misses more than half of its attacks. . Zhalk missed maybe 1 or 2 in the entire fight. Lae'zel has some hits, but only for 4 or 5 HP damage
"US" clears the way through the hellboars and imps, with a bit of archery support from my bard, but almost all of the party turns attack Zhalk. He dances away from almost every one.

I haven't counted the saves needed to do it, but I finally got him . I had a critical hit from shadowheart with the necrotic attack for 32 HP, that was the turning point.
When the cambions came out, I had my PC flee to the helm. Lae'zel was down, mindflayer was down, only us and Shadowheart still hitting Zhalk . the cambions were now attacking "us". Shadow , on the doorstep of death, managed to put Zhalk down with a lucky strike and toss me the sword, then the nerves were connected and it was the narrowest escape I've ever seen.
But the constant misses from the mindflayer were really surprising. Anyway, this is not necessarily a "problem" if Zhalk is a class higher than the mindflayer in one-to-one combat. BUT mindflayer skipping its attack round when the enemy is prone,that is a problem. Larian please test this and, for the sake of the bards, correct it please.
