[Spoilers] [Top 5] Shocking Story Moments in Baldur's Gate 3
[Top 5] Shocking Story Moments in Baldur's Gate 3
Hey, adventurers! Today, we’re counting down the top 5 most shocking moments in Baldur’s Gate 3. Fair warning: we’re about to spoil some jaw-dropping, mind-blowing moments that will make you rethink your choices and side-eye your companions. If you’re not ready for spoilers that could shake the Nine Hells, now’s the time to step back. But if you're ready to relive the chaos and gasp all over again, let’s dive in.
Number 5 – Dark Urge Revived by Withers After Being Killed by Bhaal What makes this moment one of the most shocking in Baldur's Gate 3 is the sheer unpredictability of it. You spend the game unleashing the Dark Urge, making brutal choices, and following Bhaal's dark whispers. By the time you defeat Orin and confront Bhaal himself, you finally have the choice to reject him. The twist? He kills you on the spot for your defiance, a move that feels final—like a true ending. But just as you’re bracing for that game over screen and wondering how you’ll explain this in your next save file, Withers steps in and nonchalantly brings you back to life.
Number 4 - Killing Nightsong at the End of Act 2 What makes this moment so shocking in Baldur's Gate 3 isn’t just the act itself but the sheer magnitude of its consequences. Convincing Shadowheart to kill Nightsong doesn’t only result in one death—it sets off a chain reaction that alters your path dramatically. With Nightsong gone, Ihzobehl’s protection collapses, and the Last Light Inn falls to the darkness. Jaheira is found lifeless, and with her death, key storylines, including her leadership in later quests and Minsc’s involvement, are lost. The death toll doesn’t stop there. The tieflings you fought to protect meet their end, and Dammon, who could have provided crucial upgrades and rare equipment, is no more.
Number 3 - Destroying the Grove What makes this one of the most shocking moments in Baldur’s Gate 3 is the sheer brutality of it. Siding with Minthara and the goblins isn’t just a betrayal—it’s a descent into chaos. At first, it feels like any raid, but soon, the reality sets in. You’re not just fighting warriors; you’re slaughtering innocents. When the battle moves inside the chambers, you find tieflings cowering, pleading for their lives. Their cries and terrified voices make it clear: this is no simple fight, it’s a massacre. You’re forced to confront what your choice truly means. And then, after the slaughter, a goblin hands you Alfira’s broken lute, casually mentioning her fingers were snapped to take it. The celebration feels empty, and the cost of your decision hits hard. Worse still, Karlach and will leave, unable to stand by your side after such a betrayal. Halsin?
Number 2 - Alfira Killed by the Dark Urge Number 2 on this list is the brutal, unexpected murder of Alfira by the Dark Urge. Unlike other dark moments in Baldur’s Gate 3, this isn’t a choice—it’s a forced act that reveals just how deep the Urge’s control goes. Alfira, the warm, hopeful bard, visits your camp for one night, bringing with her a sense of light and innocence. But when the night fades, so does she. When your character awakens, it’s to the sight of Alfira’s body sprawled on the ground, blood pooling in a ritualistic pentagram. The sheer horror of realizing your character committed the murder without your input hits like a sledgehammer. You might pass the stealth check to hide her body, but the pentagram remains, a glaring testament to the carnage unleashed.
Number 1 - True Identity of the Dream Visitor Taking the top spot is the jaw-dropping revelation of the Dream Visitor’s true identity. For hours, this figure is your guiding light, the one presence offering hope, advice, and a path through the madness of mind flayer tadpoles and Absolute cults. You spend time choosing their appearance, creating someone you trust and perhaps even admire. But then, the game drops the mother of all bombshells: your beloved Dream Visitor is none other than the Emperor—a mind flayer. It’s the kind of twist that makes you sit back and say, “Wait, what?” The guardian who has been your source of reassurance turns out to be the very thing you've been conditioned to fear and fight against.
