Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Killing Nightsong and saving Jaheira's Life (spoilers)

*spoilers*








Is there any way to avoid this? Or at least save Jaheira? Besides Jaheira, everyone inside dies too, which means loosing a lot of content in Act 3. Content I would really regret missing. If it matters, I'm playing as Tav, not Durge.

Co prawda gra wyszła prawie rok temu, ale może warto pierwszy akapit zaznaczyć jako spojler?


I'm fairly sure that it is an either-or choice.

I hope my memory is correct, this was a PT quite some time ago.

As Tav there are two ways to save Jaheira while killing the Nightsong;

• Lore-accurate way - You'd have to reload a save prior to Marcus revealing himself and intentionally let him abduct Isobel while fighting him. This way your character would still maintain their neutrality by simply failing to protect her.
• Lore-inaccurate way - Reload a save prior to entering the Shadowfell and just go kill Isobel. Unfortunately your character will be considered a traitor within the story.

Not sure what you mean with "traitor". I convinced Jaheira that "it wasn't me" and everything seemed fine after that.

Meaning that instead of Isobel's death being treated as an actual accident in terms of the story and the MC acting accordingly, killing her directly will instead treat it as a treacherous murder by having the MC lie to Jaheira about it (plus I'm not sure if Tav gets this dialogue, but Dark Urge gets to confess to Jaheira way later if they killed her).

Considering that Padzi is roleplaying a neutral character; it's an important distinction to make because one is treated as an accident by the story, while the latter an outright murder.

Not sure if encouraging Shadow to become Dark Justiciar is neutral. I mean, we know what a DJ means by that time. But anyway, it is an interesting (evil) path to go. I think it's best just to go with the flow, there are so many different options that you probably don't need to do all of them. Sometimes you just decide this path is not for you. I did that when I tried the really bad DU. Had to abandon halfway act 2. I managed the "resisting" DU, but the Bhaal-chosen DU was not possible. Now, with patch 7 apparently embelishing the evil endings, I'm really , really curious to see it. But going through many hours of not-fun , or even nauseating playthrough to discover these endings. No, I don't think so.

Ok, guys. Thank you very much for the responses. They helped me a lot. Jaheria is alive, Nightsong is not.


One more thing. I'm trying to do a fairly neutral run. My Tav thinks Shadowheart should become a DJ. This is not an evil run. Some of my companions will have good endings, some not.
