Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Story & Character Discussion Act 3 Spoilers: A big decision for Wyll, but no option to let him choose

In my playthrough, Mizora has agreed to break Wyll's pact in six months. However, after Gortash's coronation, she appeared to tell us his father has been whisked away (which was pretty quick, as we'd only just left the audience chamber!). That night, she came to our inn room and gave Wyll a choice of signing up with her again for eternity and saving his father, or letting his father die and breaking the pact immediately.

The only options I had are as per the below screenshot. My character definitely wouldn't encourage him to sell his soul, so I went with 3 despite the fact that she'd never try to make such a decision for him. And he went along with the suggestion without any argument. Whereas I feel that the Wyll in my playthrough probably would have made the other choice, as someone willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good and in the hope that he might find a way out later. He might not have, admittedly, and when I spoke to my party members afterwards they all seemed to be talking as though he'd given up his father of his own free will rather than because I'd asked him to, so for me it's less about the actual outcome than feeling that the scene and process didn't ring true.

have Wyll break the pact in exchange for his father's life, then rather easily save his father's life.

Having Wyll save his father leads to more story content and a massive dungeon quest that leads to another massive plot twist revelation about the main story of the game and some incredible legendary items. Obviously the implications for Wyll are terrible but at least once across all your playthroughs this is something you should do imo.

I don't think signing over your soul to a devil is equivalent to giving your life for someone/something. I think it's actually a selfish, short-sighted, desperate thing to do, because as we're repeatedly told throughout the game, bargains with devils work to their overall advantage, not yours. And their goals are never good ones. Don't do it. No deals with devils.

It IS possible to save Duke Ravengard after you cut Wyll's contract but it's significantly harder and Mizora will interfere. Just found this info on Reddit.

With Shadowheart, the 'right' way to change her is to be closer to her, and then trust her to make the right decisions, despite all her insane Shar talk all the way down in the Shar temple.

sacrificing his soul is viewed as the right decision by most of the companions

Some dialogue you get implies that Wyll had sold his soul even though he did not

Wyll: Hi! I sold my soul to a devil because it was Heroic.
Me: What?! That was a terrible idea!
Wyll: No, no. It's cool. I'm fine with it. Anyway, Mizora is pretty awful, isn't she?
Me: ....
Wyll: An evil, lying, backstabbing, sneaking, manipulative piece of (&**.
Me: ....
Wyll: Oh, and she has a new contract for me, think I should sign it?
Me: .... NO, OF COURSE NOT.

Addendum: Balduran was evil. The end.

Regarding saving Ravenguard

Mizora’s minions being unable to open doors was helpful

It's actually quite fun too, because it really makes you use all the spells in your arsenal to get around Mizora's little trap, like telekinesis or dimension door, or difficult terrain for the things she throws at you, there's a host of stuff and the satisfaction of beating her at her little game is extra satisfying.

The only thing she did in my playthrough was summoning the explosive spiders, which I disposed of quite quickly. Ravengard escaped pretty smootly, which did made me laugh. I mean, come on Mizora, for all that sass I thought you can do better than that.
