This Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 companion will praise you for turning them into a Mind Flayer Larian StudiosOne Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 companion is undeniably the best choice to turn into a Mind Flayer at the end of the game. In fact, they\u2019ll even end up praising you for the tough decision. Every Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 companion has their own reasons for trying to stay alive. For Astarion it\u2019s ascension and revenge, for Shadowheart it\u2019s rediscovering herself, and for Karlach, it\u2019s simply just trying to find a fix for the ticking timebomb that is her infernal heart. As such, choosing to make a companion a Mind Flayer, which is a choice you can make towards the conclusion, can be amongst the toughest choices in the game. Ultimately, they all have something to lose. That is unless you pick Karlach, who will actually praise you for turning her into one of the all-knowing octopus-like beings. As seen during the final scenes of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, and through dev notes highlighted by players in the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit, Karlach will actually end up thriving as a Mind Flayer, explaining that she feels \u201clike I\u2019m finally complete\u201d and that the decision \u201cmeans I\u2019m going to live.\u201d Interestingly, these lines are spoken whether she\u2019s a companion or an origin character, proving that it\u2019s both her internal monologue and her general feelings that praise the player for their choices. Such praise was highlighted in an interview with IGN in which the lead writer Adam Smith for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 explained that Karlach \u201chas a completely different reaction to it than other people\u201d when speaking about turning her, proving that she\u2019s the only companion who would happily welcome the change. Turning any other companion into a Mind Flayer is practically a death sentence for them, as they end up becoming the monster they had been spending the last few acts trying to keep out. But for Karlach, it was either Mind Flayer or the Hells \u2013 and it\u2019s clear she\u2019d happily pick the expansion of mind and ability to live over the fiery inferno of Avernus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
