Baldur's Gate 3 - 2 ways on how to easily beat Farslayer of Bhaal Ghislev in Undercity Ruins

2 easy methods:

1) Turn your characters invisible, and sneak over to him.

2) Jump over from the spot I show you while sneaking (feather fall recommended). Note that I detected the ambush, but it doesn't matter if you don't, I tried later without detecting it and it worked.

Important note about option 2: Make sure you sneak around the way I show you, if you use the ladder Astarion took you will get detected and surprised.

Note about why I sneak Karlach down: it's to trigger the ambush and spawn the Farslayer. If you have "see invisibility" you don't have to do that.

Even if you do have see invisibility, I recommend you only send 1 party member up above to start, because when I had all 4 party members up the Farslayer just teleported below.


Karlach was sent down because she can't be surprised.

If you don't have a berserker, or anyone with the alert feat, send a mage hand or something down there.

Wasting a level 3 spell slot for magic missile may have been unnecessary, but I wanted to make a good video ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You can also use a rogue with dual daggers that also deal some kind of elemental damage because each "tick" of damage counts for removing unstoppable charges. So if your 2 daggers each have acid and fire or whatever (dip your weapon into a candle) you can fully remove the shield without wasting a spell slot.

I suppose there's an option 3) as well, which is to use dimension door or misty step or whatever.
