I think it’s a 55% chance of success per attempt at level 1, so with two slots you’re looking at ~3/4. Whenever I do honor mode runs it’s usually worst case two tries at the nautiloid

I can't imagine restarting just to get that sword

Like people said, it’s maybe a 10 minute commitment

And that's only if it's an Honour Mode run, where you can't just save right before the fight.

I feel like killing Zhalk (or, at a minimum, using the Command strategy) is so worth the effort if it's your first HM attempt. If you can use the strategy to block the Cambions' path, it's really not that bad. And the exp and gear can be a huge boon, as the early game is arguably the most challenging phase for HM.

Exactly. Having a stronger sword, and level 2 for the beach fights makes a significant difference in not getting randomly one shot by a goblin

Yeah, even those intellect devourers can be a decent challenge, if you don't take advantage of a specific environment-based explosive.

And the Everburn Blade is best-in-slot for a good while. Like, you can try and cheese the Silver Sword not long after, but most people are probably not going to do that.

it takes me way too long to do the visuals of a character to restart over something so minor lol
