The Whispering Mask embodies this aspect, leaving uncertainty about the fate of characters who choose to don it.

Using The Whispering Mask
Auntie Ethel's minions won't attack.
Players can pass through the illusory door without getting it killed.
Authie Ethel will frequently force the wearer to attack their party members and make other poor decisions.
While attempting to rescue Mayrina, there are additional individuals who can also be saved. Among these is a door guarded by individuals wearing masks. If players equip the mask and pass through the door, Auntie Ethel will eliminate the door.
Once through the door, it is safe to remove the mask without causing harm to the door. On the other side, numerous formidable enemies controlled by their own Whispering Masks lay in wait to ambush the player's party. By ensuring everyone wears a mask, they can avoid being attacked.
Wearing the mask frequently poses a danger as it compels the wearer to harm their own party members, even utilizing powerful spell slots to do so. If the objective is to rescue these souls by defeating the boss, it is feasible to navigate the room without wearing the mask. The level of difficulty for this stage will vary based on the players' choice to drink from the well or not. Nevertheless, once the minions have been eliminated or sneaked past, there is no longer any need to keep the mask on.
Baldur's Gate 3 is available now for PC. The PlayStation 5 version will be available on September 6th, 2023. A version for Xbox Series X/S is still in development.
