The Best Items in Prologue Nautiloid in Baldur's Gate 3

Everburn Blade

The Everburn blade is a fantastic two-handed greatsword for the very early point in the game at which it can be obtained. It provides 6-19 damage, a significant increase in comparison to Lae’zel’s base longsword 4-13 damage.

Prepare Command

In order to get the Everburn blade, first have Shadowheart pepare the spell Command.

Cast Command: Drop on Commander Zhalk

Then cast Command: Drop on Commander Zhalk. There is a 55% chance for this to work, and you have up to 2 casts with 2 spell slots. Then if/when he drops it, pick it up.

Optional Pre-Assist with Pommel Strike or Concussive Smash

You can increase the probability of getting him to drop the weapon by using Pommel Strike (by Lae’zel) or Concussive Smash (by Shadowheart) to Daze him first. Daze gives him disadvantage on the wisdom saving throw, thereby increasing the likelihood of successfully forcing him to drop the weapon.
