FAQs

Who is the most romanced character in Baldur's Gate 3? ›

But let's talk romance: while Baldur's Gate 3 has a number of intriguing romance paths, Shadowheart's is easily the most popular, with 51.3% players completing her romance arc (which you can find a walkthrough of here). It turns out she really is God's favorite princess and the most interesting girl in the world.

You won't be able to recruit all companions in a single playthrough – the decisions you must make will exclude certain party members from joining you forever – so you need to think pretty hard about which party members you want to hang out with most before you get to that point.

There are a number of important Rolls coming up that you'll need to pass in order to recruit Minthara. You'll need to speak to the commanders and pass multiple Wisdom Rolls in order to convince them that they should throw Minthara into jail and spare her life. When Minthara is thrown into jail, follow after her.

This means that, out of the female Origin Companions, Lae'zel is the least romanced character. Minthara is less romanced than the githyanki fighter, but getting close to her involves making a series of evil decisions, which are not often taken by characters aligned with a good playthrough.

The Paladin is the strongest class and subclass in Baldur's Gate 3 due to its damage output, survivability, and versatility. The Paladins can access various weapons and armour types, allowing for diverse playstyles. Combining Extra Attack with Divine Smite results in exceptional raw damage potential.

Baldur's Gate 3 - 44 ADVANCED Tips to Master! Letting Astarion bite you is an easy way to get approval with him. The simple answer is yes, as the only downside is gaining the Bloodless debuff, while Astarion gains the Happy buff and his approval rating of you increases.

Normally, you can either get Minthara or Halsin as your BG3 companions – but not both. Minthara only joins if you destroy Emerald Grove and facilitate the Tiefling refugees' murders. Halsin, head druid of said grove, naturally takes a dim view of those actions and refuses to join. The reverse is true as well.

Halsin is a powerful druid and a worthy companion. Although you get him quite late into the game, he should prove useful as a powerful frontline unit with spellcasting utility, similar to Shadowheart as.

yes! The owlbear can be recruited as a pet/ally, and while it's not quite a companion on the level with the others, finding the nest and the creature's mother starts a little chain of events that can have impact all the way to the very end of the game.

Who can you sleep with in BG3? ›

Simply put, nothing happens if you ignore Astarion. If you walk away from his offer or simply never approach him to begin with, you can always find Astarion in the same spot on the beach, even after you leave for Act 2 without him.

Obviously, as one of the three Baldur's Gate 3 goblin leaders, killing her will contribute towards helping the Emerald Grove, but you can follow a more evil path and side with her - a fitting choice for any BG3 Dark Urge players - or even knock her out in a particular way, causing her to show up again in Act 2.

To recruit Minthara, it is necessary that she remains alive during Act One, so make a save (or two) right before encountering Minthara to ensure she has the status effect. And remember, you must use non-lethal attacks when she gets down to low HP to knock her out instead of killing her.

Recruiting Minthara causes Wyll and Karlach to refuse to join your party, and you cannot recruit Halsin at all. Make your choice.

As of December 2023, Gale topped the Origin charts as the most played character, and I was instantly curious to find out why. With nothing else for it, I took on the role of the wizard of Waterdeep, and just a handful of hours in, I'm already starting to understand why he's such a popular pick.

The Baldur's Gate 3 Dreamlover is a player-created NPC. It's also the embodiment of the Mindflayer's tadpole in your character's brain, and it will tempt you--if you wish. Our guide discusses the Dreamlover romance and encounter sequences.

Sexuality. Asterion, like the rest of the romance characters in Baldur's Gate 3, was confirmed as pansexual by Justice Geddes on Twitter.
