How to Kill Sarevok Anchev in Baldur’s Gate 3
Defeating the antagonist Sarevok Anchev, who is known from the previous episodes of the BG series, is a major achievement in Balur's Gate 3. Players who successfully eliminate this Bhaalspawn during the Investigate the Murders quest will be rewarded with valuable items such as the Amulet of Bhaal, Sarevok's Sword of Chaos, and his helmet. For fans who decide to take on the challenge of confronting Sarevok in Canduhollow Tombstones in Baldur's Gate 3, this guide provides all the necessary information.
Defeating Sarevok Anchev, a formidable adversary in Baldur's Gate 3, can be made easier by following these guidelines. Additionally, players should be aware that Sarevok will receive supportive buffs from characters such as Echoes of Amelyssan, Illasera, and Sendai.
Choose the most skilled party members. The ideal team for this battle consists of Astarion, Shadowheart, and Gale. Astarion will provide protection by eliminating Echoes, Illasera, and Sendai from a distance. Meanwhile, Gale and Shadowheart will inflict significant damage on Sarevok through spellcasting.
Maintain enough HP. Sarevok Anchev possesses powerful attacks and can strike three times per turn. Therefore, players must ensure that their characters have ample HP to avoid death after Sarevok's initial assault.
When facing Sarevok, it is important to be aware of his invulnerability, which is granted by Amelyssan's Sanctuary spell. During these moments, players are advised to attack him with area of effect spells such as Lightning or Fireballs. After the invulnerability subsides, players should unleash all available spells on Sarevok, while ensuring that Shadowheart stays healed.
By following these tactics, players should have no trouble defeating Sarevok, even at level 11, despite his higher level of 16. Alternatively, players can opt to use different characters, specifically Karlach and Lae'zel, who can attack multiple times in a single turn. This allows for a quick and easy defeat of Sarevok. However, it is worth noting that this battle is optional, and players can choose to avoid it by becoming a Bhaalite Undead Assassin.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available now on PC and PS5, with an Xbox Series X/S version also in development.
