Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Best Way to Kill Enemies in the Helm

What are the best ways to kill all those enemies in the helm? I run out of spells. I have the Gith, a brain and myself the wizard. Should we try to leave and restore and then come back?

I ran past most of them, using bonus action to Dash in order to clear more ground.
You're repeatedly encouraged during the encounter to "just run for it" and it's hinted strongly multiple times that you need to get out of there ASAP.
You don't need to kill them.

Yup - use your speed potion & run like mad ! I don’t think it’s a scrap to try & fight your way through - only one has to make it to the control thing

Only one is not exactly true, only your character has to make it there. I tried with Lae'zel cause she's the fastest with her additional action but the game didn't want her to activate it. It had to be my character.

My main charc went down and I had to do it with her. It worked.

I used Lae'zel because she's faster it it worked just fight for me. Went right into the cutscene.

I presume someone will find a way to defeat the devil for laughs, hopefully on video.

I once past beside the devil commander and I triggered an AOO : my main died.
( I was trying stuff out for fun : I am not a noob. Hmm, though it was a mistake. )

The fight is truly trivial due to the way stealth currently works. (Warlocks Eldritch Blast and hex really helps as they have no force resistance)

1. Go in kill the 3 imps.

2. Go upstairs.

3. Kill 3 imps.

4. (optional but makes stuff easier) shove the devil 1 or 2 times to position him downstairs.

5. Go to the "gallery" further upstairs (1 elevation level above the thingy you need to press)

6. Proceed to stand in a "lightly obscured" area (symbolized by half sun cursor) from which you can range attack the devil (either a bow or Eldritch blast)

Repeat below until all 3 devils are dead:

7. Range atack.

8. Hide.

9. Go back to 7. Unless the combat ended.

You get xp only for devil kils (mindflayer gives 0)

Takes around 10 turns? Depends on luck and when the mindflayer dies.

The player should get some sweet treasure for defeating that devil! But Larian would have to seriously remove any cheeseballing exploits from that encounter.

Hmm... well that would not make for a very epic video.

You can cheese almost all fights using the combination of ranged attacks and bonus action Hide.

If this fight will ever be doable it will always be via some cheese. Lvl 1 you do max 19dmg per turn with your 2 available range characters while the enemy has 200+hp combined.

You can also kite them with jump (up and down gallery) or around the "holes" downstairs. Stealth cheese is just less tedious.


Would love an AI fix that would factor in some "threat" so that after few loops AI goes for the character that actually threatens them and not chase the closest one. (you would have to then cheese by starting to do dmg with the character that kited, but emersion would benefit).

Hehe. Yes. My first line was humor. The second was a general comment for Larian.

OK I need to find where the tips are. I am borrowing a friends WIDE 34" monitor and it feels too big. I eventually figured it out on my own lvl 1 vs lvl 6 x4 means make other plans.
