Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Problem with Dark Urge Act2 [Spoiler alert]

I need help with the Dark Urge route in act 2, specifically with Isobel.

There is a moment, when the butler Sceleritas Fel tells me to kill her. I go to her to tell her that I am NOT going to kill her. In this moment, all ok.

After talking to her, the mission doesn't appear as done. Therefore, I don't get the following cinematic when Sceleritas Fel tells me to kill my romance.

During all Act 2, I have Isobel as a quest target.

I am doing something wrong? What's wrong?

Thanks.

The only way to get that scene is to outright refuse to kill Isobel while Sceleritas Fel is talking to you when everyone is asleep.

In one of my playthroughs I made the mistake of saying one of these choices, though it was probably the first one;

• "I felt the desire to kill her the moment we met..."
• "What has she done to deserve such a fate?"

Hoping it'll open some further interesting dialogue with him to explain the urges, but the dialogue instead ended and the game took this as Dark Urge being open-minded towards the idea of killing her. So I never got the romantic murder scene at all, despite refusing to kill Isobel when talking to her.

Also the scene is exclusive to ACT II I believe, so your only choice is to reload prior to talking to him and outright saying NO to his face. He'll become disappointed, once you refuse Isobel the journal objective will state that you're acting weird and you'll get the cutscene with your romance instead the next long rest.

My fist run I sais the same, but in this run I said:

- Hells! Can you read my thoughts?
- I'm nos doing a thing you say! This isn't who I am.
- I won't let myself touch another innocent.
- Stop talking as if you're brewing me a cup of tea! We're talking about real people!

I think they are the most negative responses to killing Isobel. And yet, after talking to Isobel and telling her that I'm not going to kill her, the game follows me without marking the mission and without the second visit from Sceleritas appearing.

Have you killed yet?

Once you have done that game will trigger everyone who still remains alive to catch up with you in Moonrise Towers, making Isobel leave the confines of Last Light In which in turn should be the triggering point for the cinematic scene you want to see as by that point she becomes inaccessible, you are not doing anything wrong it is just kept very open ended late into Act 2 in case you change mind and want to kill her thus simply telling her that you are not going to do the dirty deed does nothing to resolve as likely intended by design, for the freedom of being able to become a lying backstabber.

Simply take a long rest after you have done the killing of and caught up with everyone, this is just organically triggered very late into Act 2 if you are not steadfast.

Ok, I need to do:

Yes and just long rest before you walk into Act 3, after all you have the freedom to do this as many times as you wish in case campsite is que'ed with camp events.

Ok, I try. Thank you.
