Unveiling the Ultimate Dilemma in Baldur's Gate 3: Embrace or Reject the Kith'rak Artifact
Is surrendering the artefact to the Kith'rak in Baldur's Gate 3 truly worth the sacrifice? Unveil the risks and rewards of this daunting decision in the ultimate quest for power
Players must make an early decision about whether they should attempt to acquire the artefact from Shadowheart in Baldur's Gate 3. Regardless of the outcome, at a certain point, the artefact is granted to the player and they are given the freedom to choose how to handle it. This object remains mysterious, and even achieving success in skill checks does not unveil its true nature.
Therefore, players may feel conflicted when two Kith'rak NPCs request the artefact. On one hand, they might be relinquishing something that has been seemingly useless and lacks significant functionality. However, on the other hand, the artefact could potentially be one of the most potent and untapped resources available in Baldur's Gate 3.
This article divulges consequences within the game and reveals information the player's character may not know. Gamers committed to role-playing may wish to stop reading and find these things out for themselves.
Giving The Artefact To The Kith'rak
Here's what you need to know about the hidden consequences and unknown information in the game.
The artefact will return to the character no matter what.
The party, excluding Lae'zel, mostly disagrees with this choice. Although it may not have a significant impact on the overall storyline, it still holds significance. If players choose to relinquish the artifact, characters such as Shadowheart and Astarion perceive it as a betrayal of trust. These characters are displeased with the ease at which the character is willing to give away power that was once theirs.
If players desire to make this choice, they can opt to change their party members and have the majority of the squad remain at the camp, with the exception of Lae'zel. Lae'zel's positive relationship with the gith at this point leads her to actually approve of this decision. Players can extend the offer to both Kith'rak Voss and Kith'rak Voss Therezzyn, and Lae'zel will appreciate the gesture in both cases.
Baldur's Gate 3 is currently available for PC, with the PlayStation 5 version set to release on September 6th, 2023. The development for a version compatible with Xbox Series X/S is currently underway.
