Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion MAJOR ENDGAME SPOILERS - I Think My Last Scene with Shadowheart was bugged :(

In my playthrough, I romanced Shadowheart, convinced her to turn to Selune, and let her let her parents die. I got the beach scene, as well as the one at the statue of Selune (I think), and we also talked about starting a farm together.

I also chose to become a mind flayer myself after freeing Orpheus.

I totally get if that choice is what caused her to tell me that we had to part ways; it'd be tragic but fitting, and while it makes me sad and a little heartbroken, I respect the narrative giving weight to consequences.

But when she was saying that she told me something like "May Lady Shar keep you..."????

I think the game didn't register as having renounced Shar?

I was also weirded out walking through town after we let her parents die that she kept getting affected by the Mysterious Sharran Wound. At the time I shrugged it off but now that I think about it, maybe something messed up the save file and they thought we kept her parents alive?

Any help would be great with it. I feel like I haven't gotten the ending I actually earned and it's leaving a sour note on an otherwise fantastic experience

it's definitely one of the choices you've made: turn mind flayer. In the end, you don't lose much anyway, Larian made sure of this.

But why did she bring up Shar? Like, that's the only thing that bugs me about it, she wasn't worshipping Shar anymore at that point.

note that the game is bugged to the limit when it comes to story and companions. a lot of things don't stick together, a lot of things are unfinished, there is no logical continuity of the narrative. They'll probably fix it, but they won't fix the broken story. especially disgraceful when they have been living on subsidies since 2020 and still couldn't do what they advertised

My read on this:

It's curious, because there is literally a video on Youtube showing that you can stay with Selune Shadowheart even as a mindflayer.


Either your approval from Shadowheart wasn't necessarily all that high, or perhaps the decision to let the parents die played a role.

Maybe there was some other trigger missing. Hope it's fixed.
