FAQs

Should I let Shadowheart do the trials? ›

The short answer is yes, players should definitely bring Shadowheart to the Gauntlet of Shar. Not only is this location part of her companion quest, but she'll also give players some much-needed insight when it comes to conquering the temple's various trials.

If you play on Tactician, having the Karmic Dice on will make the game significantly harder. This is because enemies already have a +2 on every roll they do, which means by increasing their lower average you will effectively make them do more damage to you.

To put it simply: a cap of level 20 would make the game impossibly long, with at least an entire additional act needed to accommodate it. It also implements a balance of rewarding the player by leveling up at key intervals without delving into the more overpowered abilities of D&D's higher levels.

So, while BG3 doesn't really have 17,000 completely unique endings, there are at least 17,000 variations on the endings it has. Most players will probably never see the same exact ending variation twice, which makes each replay as interesting as the last. But the exact number of endings doesn't count for much.

Players should only really allow Nightsong to be killed in Baldur's Gate 3 if they are inclined towards an evil run or if they really want to see an evil version of Shadowheart after she becomes a Dark Justiciar. Shadowheart also gets a powerful weapon and strong armor piece from Shar upon becoming a Dark Justiciar.

To free Shadowheart in Baldur's Gate 3, head into the room east of the pod. Head to the corpse lying at the other end of the room and pick up the Eldritch Rune. Head back to the console to the right of Shadowheart to use the rune. Place your hand on the console, then use the command to 'Will the pod open'.

The truth is rolls are rigged in both modes, depending on the situation. You'll notice incredibly high rate of low rolls for your party during combat, but the same trend won't apply to enemies, especially when they're setting up early in the fight. This is with "karmic" dice on or off.

Just roll with it.

As IGN's Rebekah Valentine reported this week, Baldur's Gate 3 players may want to turn Karmic Dice off in the game settings. Karmic Dice, which are enabled by default, avoid failure streaks, while keeping the results mostly random.

No, because that's actually part of D&D system. If somebody at the table is using weighted dice they'd be called out for cheating and karmic dice used to be called weighted dice in the options for a reason.

Summary. Baldur's Gate 3 is based on Dungeons & Dragons 5e but has a maximum level of 12, not the tabletop RPG's maximum level of 20. Expansion of the level cap is unlikely. Higher-level spells and stronger villains in late-game DnD make it challenging to continue Baldur's Gate 3 past level 12 in a video game format.

What is the easiest class in BG3? ›

Use your Illithid power to "Will the pod to open," which will set Shadowheart free.

First things first, freeing Orpheus will make the Emperor betray you and join the Netherbrain, since you're taking away his protection, which means you'll have to fight him during the final battle.

Even if everything goes to hell, or you decide to just kill everyone, you can pick up the thread and say 'I'm gonna do this next'." So as you might have guessed, there aren't 17,000 distinct endings, these are just all the different paths you can take during your playthroughs.

Right now, the most evil ending you can get involves becoming the Absolute. There are a few variations on this, as you can partner up with Astarion or Minthara to take the throne together, or just take all the power for yourself. If you're playing as The Dark Urge, you can even claim it in Bhaal's name.

If Baldur's Gate 3 players choose to persuade Shadowheart to stay her hand and not kill the Nightsong, she will be changed. She will become kinder, and instead of willingly choosing to murder her family members, she will earn the option to save them.

When prompted, hand over Shadowheart to Viconia. This will cause you to completely avoid the encounter and have Lady Shar's faithful join you as allies in the fight against the Elder Brain. The downside is that Shadowheart will permanently leave your group.

If you fail to save her on the ship, she'll be in a pod on the beach. If you don't save her there, she appears in the Grove. If you don't talk to her there, she eventually finds your camp and joins you. If you rush to the Goblin Camp without her, the artifact magically comes to your rescue.

At all, none. You can spend the game never talking to Shadowheart and bring her along to the nightsong and as long as you just shut up during the conversation and let her choose, she will always choose to spare her.
