Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players reveal why it\u2019s \u201cmerciful\u201d to kill Nere Larian StudiosSometimes it\u2019s not all about being good or evil in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Sometimes players find themselves having to murder to provide some resemblance of mercy, especially when it comes to True Soul Nere. Sure, there are some NPCs that players are always happy to take down, and True Soul Nere doesn\u2019t exactly convince Tavs to save him in the nicest way. As such, players are usually happy to let him die, or will set him free and kill him themselves. However, there\u2019s a select few that believe in saving as many as they can, with Nere being one such addition. Though, as detailed by the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 community on Reddit, there\u2019s one key reason as to why it\u2019s actually \u201cmerciful\u201d to kill True Soul Nere in your playthrough. True Soul Nere\u2019s saved form is a bit more undead \u201cThis happens when you spare Nere. I was surprised\u201d shared the player on the game\u2019s Reddit, attaching an image of the zombified True Soul Nere, now clearly a slave to Balthazar and most certainly lacking in the power he once had. Naturally, the playerbase loved to see him suffer, with many joking that \u201ckilling him by beating him to death, cutting off his head, looting his body of all valuables and throwing his corpse into a lava flow is the merciful thing to do.\u201d Others were quick to praise Larian\u2019s subtle direction and moral compass, adding: \u201cthe game does its best to put off even evil characters from allying with the Absolutists.\u201d If players choose to spare Nere when he\u2019s trapped in the poisonous cave and fail to convince him to leave the Absolute then he\u2019ll continue his task to find Balthazar in the Temple of Shar, going after the necromancer on his own. Shortly after, Balthazar will turn True Soul Nere into a zombie, who appears when you eventually meet the evil NPC. Some would argue that being turned into a zombie against your own free will is a fate worse than death, meaning if you\u2019re planning on making the relatively infuriating character really suffer, then sparing him initially could be the way to go. At least you get to take him down later on in the game when you meet him in zombie form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
