Baldur's Gate : What Happens if you kill Karlach instead of recruiting her?
3Baldur's Gate : What Happens if you kill Karlach instead of recruiting her?
In this Baldur's Gate 3 video, we dive deep into the pivotal choice between killing or saving Karlach and how it impacts your journey, especially when it comes to Will and his pact with Mizora. We explore the consequences of choosing to kill Karlach instead of recruiting her, including the powerful Infernal Robe you receive from Mizora and the ongoing ramifications for Will’s character arc.
When you decide to kill Karlach, you’re rewarded with the Infernal Robe, a rare and powerful piece of gear that grants fire resistance, boosts your Armor Class, and lets you cast Fire Shield at level 4, once per long rest. While this might seem like a tempting reward, it comes at a significant cost. Mizora remains pleased with Will, keeping their infernal pact intact, which might seem like a good outcome for now, but it actually deepens Will’s struggle to free himself from her grasp.
By choosing to kill Karlach, you lose out on a richly layered and emotional storyline. Karlach isn’t just another companion—she’s a character with a tragic past, having escaped Avernus and the clutches of the archdevil Zariel. Her story, which involves stabilizing the infernal engine that’s replaced her heart, is one of survival, redemption, and ultimately, revenge against those who wronged her. If you recruit Karlach, you embark on a journey to help her stabilize her heart, confront her past with Gortash, and possibly find peace before her time runs out.
Throughout Acts One, Two, and Three, Karlach’s story intertwines with the main narrative, offering unique quests, emotional depth, and significant party dynamics. You’ll miss out on powerful moments, like Karlach’s confrontation with Gortash, her struggle with the infernal engine threatening to consume her, and the tough choices you must make to either save her or accept her fate.
Killing Karlach not only robs you of these storylines but also changes the tone of your game. Will’s relationship with Mizora stays unchanged—he remains trapped in the pact, and his hope for freedom grows dimmer. The dynamic between your party members shifts as well, with the loss of Karlach’s fiery spirit and combat prowess.
This video breaks down all the consequences of choosing to kill Karlach, including what you gain, what you lose, and how it all ties into the broader narrative of Baldur's Gate 3. If you’re weighing whether to keep Karlach alive or go for the rewards, this video gives you all the insights you need to make an informed decision.
