Sarevok | Baldurs Gate 3 Wiki

I thought he was pretty straightforward on Tactician on my first play through (still playing it). But after I looked at his statblock the first time, I reloaded and respecced Gale to change his spell loadout. (Avoids an unnecessary long rest this way, you see... and I am a man of integrity, sir!) It helps a lot that I play PnP DnD, and also played all the way through *both* the BG1&2 series and Divinity: Original Sin 2 *twice.*

Karlach: Wildheart/Bear Great Weapon Master, Hasted; Tav Gloomstalker with Harold, Hasted; Gale's Evoker-rated Fireballs; and Gale and Wyll Counterspelling on the ladies' turns. This approach nuked him first, fast, and then took down his stable.

Got to him and heard horror stories, but got lucky and on one of the first turns a crit from my ranger triggered a paralysis. Was able to basically burn him in one full turn since all physical attacks crit and Divine Smite on crtits is overpowered af. Didn't even have to deal with the guards since they couldn't even reach me in time.

Still easier than the Spider Matriarch at level 4.

Not sure what's more annoying, when people come to wiki pages to complain about bosses being impossible or badly designed, or when a guy comes along with the most busted build in BG3 where you twin-cast the biggest damage spell in the game, with all the stat buffs possible, an Elixir of **** You, and guarantees a crit on it with LotFR while their allies cast buffs on him and immobilize the enemy entirely while save-scumming to guarantee the perfect roll and then says "Eh, not much of a challenge tbh, Act 3 needs to be rebalanced to be more difficult." Maybe try and not use your 4-multiclassed hyperspecific build where you get 33 quadrillion INT and try and come at it like a regular player would and it might be a more difficult time, eh?

Sarevok is a well-balanced fight. Obviously considerably more challenging if you fight him where the knights can see you, but I've fought him twice (once on Balanced, the other on Tactician) and had a great, challenging time both times.

Low WIS. Command: Grovel and you're good, you don't even need Otto's Dance

Although the death-buffs from the 3 echoes are intimidating they’re actually not that hard to deal with. You’re better off focusing the ghost b*tches down so they’re not constantly buffing Sarevok and debuffing your party, then after that it’s just a DPS race. Bless your party and debuff Sarevok with status effects (fear, prone, spells) and you can negate majority of his buffs

On Tactician difficulty without min/maxing it was an easy fight like most act 3 bosses with good tactics and a little luck.

I saw he was level 16 so I banished him first turn, then killed his 3 minions. When he came back it was 7 on 1.GG.

I really am disappointed with act 3. Level 12 characters with legendary gear and a few summons just flat out steamroll everything if you have half a brain cell.

And no, I'm not minmaxing, cheesing, or looking at guides. Totally Blind playthrough. Act 3 still good but definitely a dip in quality.

Killed him in first round with my lvl 6 cleric/5 sorc using chain lightning (makeoshir), channel divinity, twin spell combo. Act2 and 3 have felt very easy imo.

first attemp : bluh the boss with just < 300 hp , this battle will end fast.
after battle : holy sh_t this beast is fast !!!

Retreat. Lure Sarevok backwards through tribunal door and close it behind him while attacking warding bond spirit. Leave a summon to catch the slow spell while keeping most of your party away from the aoe. Dogpile Sarevok with a barbarian, or high AC character with the shield spell, or both.

Did a solo tactician run and had to cheese him with Otto's ID. Absolutely no clue how you can fight him honestly.

One of the trickier fights actually. This fight can be pretty easy or almost impossible depending on your playstyle. If you have big damage at the ready, then killing Sarevok will not take long. But if you have a party with only a single pure damage dealer and/or other members full support/healing/utility - then this fight is so hard to finish without Otto's Irresistible Dance spell. I happened to have 0 scrolls on me and the fight was like 1.5 hours long. Then I tried it with preparing the Otto's ID and finished it no sweat.

Can Dark Urge have Saverok as a companion still? ANyone know?

Acts 2-3 fights have been so disappointing. Truly shows how much this game needed Legendary and Lair actions. Especially their pitiful change Legendary Resistance that couldn't stop my DC 26 Wizard from holding him. Absolutely pathetic.
