Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 has a secret approval mechanic to unlock rare Shadowheart content Larian StudiosThere\u2019s a hidden Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 approval score for Shadowheart that can lead to a rare dialogue in the game, depending on how many points you\u2019ve managed to rack up. Shadowheart is one of the first companions you\u2019ll meet in Act 1, later revealed as a strong devotee to Shar \u2013 an evil goddess in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Depending on the choices you make throughout your journey together, you can let her go down a dark route or steer her from what her faith demands her to do. Before going any further, this article will contain spoilers for Act 2. So, keep that in mind if you have yet to reach that point from the Underdark or Mountain Pass. After progressing the game through Act 2 long enough, you\u2019ll eventually stumble upon the Temple of Shar. This is where the Gauntlet of Shar trials take place, eventually leading you to Nightsong once you\u2019ve successfully completed all of them. Though it\u2019s possible to skip the entire thing with a certain method. After passing the point of no return or Shadowfell, Shadowheart can either kill the Nightsong \u2013 provided that you\u2019ve obtained the Spear of Night and didn\u2019t drop it somewhere \u2013 or persuade her to spare the immortal being. Generally, these are the two common outcomes in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. However, YouTuber SlimX revealed in a video that aside from the regular approval, Shadowheart has a second, hidden approval mechanic referred to as \u201cNightsong points\u201d that can affect her attitude toward both Shar and the Nightsong. In total, there are six points available. Depending on how many points you\u2019ve earned during your playthrough, Shadowheart may start to doubt her religious devotion to Shar and even soften up her character when encountering the Nightsong. The way these points work is that you\u2019ll be able to earn them through certain dialogues or moments that \u201ctest her faith.\u201d These are triggered by: Conversations after Shadowheart reveals her wolf memory – Conversation about Shadowheart\u2019s wound flare – Using the Noblestalk to uncover her memory – Giving her blood during the Gauntlet of Shar trials – If you have enough points and approval, she\u2019ll always spare the Nightsong unless you tell her not to. Those who prefer to play the game for roleplay purposes may want to rack up as many Nightsong points and approval as possible to get that rare dialogue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
