In this article, we will guide you on what will happen upon defeating Commander Zalik in Boulder’s Gate 3, released on 3rd August 2023. To defeat Commander Zhalk and the Mindflayer, you’ll need to employ every available party member and spell. Make sure to save Shadowheart as she’s a Cleric with important spells.
Upon encountering the two enemies, you’ll notice that the Mindflayer is invulnerable to attacks. However, it takes significant damage from Commander Zhalk. He won’t engage your team, allowing you to focus your attacks on Zalik only.
If you manage to beat Zhalk, your reward is the Everburn Blade, a fantastic magical Greatsword that deals an additional 1d4 fire damage.
It is essential to remember that after defeating Commander Zalik, you must loot his body. It doesn’t matter who does it; as long as your party members or you collect the loot, otherwise, the sword will remain at his body’s location.
