Baldur's Gate 3: 10 Best Secrets You Need To Find

2. Taking Commander Zhalk’s Sword In Baldur's Gate 3 (The Easy Way)

Just about the first secret you encounter in Baldur’s Gate 3, or at least the one all your friends will make sure you know upon kicking off your first playthrough, is that the devil Commander Zhalk can actually be defeated in the game’s first area.

This is something you’ll absolutely want to pull off because he drops a sweet sword, but the battle itself is a huge pain. Mainly because the game is encouraging you not to engage and to just bail.

But you’re a hero and more importantly, you want that sword. But there’s no need to wear your party out trying to end the dude. Instead, you can try this easy method. Shadowheart has a command spell called Drop that you can swap in through your menu that makes the big red guy drop the sword so if you just want to pick it up and head on out, you absolutely can.
