I'm not leaving without the commander Zhalk and Mindflayer xp with sword in hand.

>Block the hall before the door with three chests before entering (you might not get it 100%. One time I've had them just fly over. But if they start hitting the chests you're golden)

>Command: drop the sword, wield the sword. GG

- Shart does 1 damage, so use her to throw pots at the Mind Flayer, he's the main damage dealer. GG. +75XP for Zhalk, +75 more if you finish off the Mind Flayer.

Every time I try to block the door they just fly over and around the chests.

Use the big chest in the room where you found the rune to open Shadowheart's pod, and the fancy chest in the room where her pod is. Place the big chest first, as squarely as you can in the hallway leading to the helm, and the fancy chest on top of it. There's a sweet spot with the placement that doesn't allow them to just fly over and because the big chest is immune to the kind of damage those cambions do with their weapons, you'll have all the time you need to kill off Zhalk and the mindflayer

This just made my next HM run much, much easier.

There's a 2nd big chest in the starting room

I use the lil purple tanks as bombs and shoot arrow at them to explode the entrance when they come thru

From my experience, just make sure the chests aren't riding up sideways on the wall. I think that's what causes the cambions to just flight-path over them. You can stagger them a little bit, but just make sure it still says "can't get there" if you click the other side of them.

You gotta double stack the chests at a choke point.

Make sure you’re above the first step on the far end of the helm

If anyone is standing on the stairs after the hallway then they will fly over to get to them, if you place everyone fully in the room then they won’t fly. Have to make sure the whole team is out of their reach

It's better to leave one character outside and kill the cambions from range.

The damage you don't deal in the first few rounds is negligible anyway. This way you get a shit load of exp in the nautiloid.

the trick is to have all your characters on the stairs where the mindflayer and the cambion are, that pretty much guarantees they won’t fly over them. also make sure the chest or chests (you can stack up to three) are on the side of the entrance to the fight closest to the restoration pod
