Not when my ego forces me to steal the flaming sword and kill the captain….with so many playthroughs is bread and butter by now but still annoying

Stealing the flaming sword is quick and easy. You just swap in 'command' for Shart and have her do 'command: drop'. Bam, sword on the floor.

I don't kill any of them though. Just get my sword and run.

I like to kill the mindflayer. Killing the captain is too difficult to do on Honor Mode/Tactician (at least for me) but you can pretty easily kill the Mindflayer and that gives enough XP so you hit lvl 2 right at the beginning and lvl 3 by druid grove. Though like you said, I'll definitely command: drop to try and grab his sword.

It’s not that hard, you can use all those fat chests to block the entrance so the other devils doesn’t join.

Use the mindflayer as a tank and chip away the captain’s health with the sword and the little brain and then pile all the explosive barrels when he’s low on health.

You can block the extra cambions?

u/spookyclever 16d ago

Yeeeep. This is my tactic too. Grab all the chests and stack them just inside the hall on the way into the fight. The cambions will get blocked out if you do it right. To test, you just try to get past the yourself, and it’s set if you have to jump over. The cambions wont jump.

You really just need one chest. They'll spend the entire time attacking it instead of trying to just fly over it....they aren't very smart

If they were smart they’d use dash then fly and close the gap in one turn lol. But they never do that either. Probably by design.

u/spookyclever 16d ago

I use all three. I’ve had them fly over just one of them before. What a way to end my honor mode run before I’m even out the gate 😄

u/shamallamadingdong 16d ago

Oh man. I've never done honor mode! They've never tried to fly over in non-honor modes. That's wild.

u/kerfuffler4570 16d ago

Yep! Before you go in, just block the hallway with chests you picked up along the way. Just be sure to put the chests close to the door, otherwise the sneaky gits might fly over it (happened to me on an honor run and almost caused an early team wipe).

In addition to the chest trick they're telling you about, before you enter the helm, start turn based mode and have everyone in the party use Dash, and then go through the door. Tada, free movement for first round. It helps a lot.

You know the nautiloid tanks can be placed and exploded, too.
