Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players explain why blowing up this NPC is the morally good option larian studiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have admitted that they would rather let this particular NPC get blown up rather than rescuing him, claiming it\u2019s the morally good thing to do. As you journey through the Underdark in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, you\u2019ll stumble upon a dwarf named Derryth Bonecloak, searching for her missing husband, Baelen. After a bit of exploring in Underdark, players will find that Baelen\u2019s situation is much worse than simply being missing. The mushroom picker had ended up getting trapped by himself, surrounded by dangerous explosive mushrooms with nearly no way out. One wrong move and literally everything will blow up to pieces \u2014 and it\u2019s up to your party to save him. Initially, if you\u2019re playing as a good character, naturally, you\u2019d want to land your hand to get him out of the situation. However, in a Reddit thread poking fun at \u201caccidentally\u201d blowing up the mushrooms, players admitted that they\u2019d rather leave Baelen to a cruel fate rather than rescue him for the sake of his wife. \u201cOnce I learned that if you blow him up, Derryth loses (1) one abusive husband and gains one (1) adorable cat (with your assistance). BIBBERBANG,\u201d commented one user. For the uninitiated, freeing Baelen can be considered one of the \u201cmorally misleading choices\u201d in the game. This is solely because while Baelen appears confused and suffers from memory loss when you first meet him, a bit of digging later on in Act 3 can reveal that he\u2019s been an abusive husband and a heavy drinker. As such, players are going out of their way to make sure the dwarf doesn\u2019t see the light of day. One user even jokingly described the situation by writing: \u201cBaelen: Help me\u2026!!! Tav: OK. IGNIS!\u201d Meanwhile, another user mentioned: \u201c\u2018yo BIBBERBANG WATCH OUT-\u2019 Me grabbing the Noblestalk before it blows away to feed Shadowheart.\u201d \u201cI saved him the first time. Then found out he\u2019s an abusive d****wad and kinda wanted to murder him. Next playthrough just let him die,\u201d one chimed in. At the end of the day, it\u2019s up to the player to choose whether they want to rescue him and give him the Noblestalk. Though if you\u2019re romancing Shadowheart, it\u2019s worth giving this to her as it will allow her to restore her memories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
