    This is the Gameplay Walkthrough of Baldur's Gate 3 (2023). This guide will show you all the possible endings for Karlach 'Companion' and how to get all the 7 endings.
    Baldur's Gate 3 presents players with the chance to engage with a diverse array of companions, necessitating the cultivation of relationships with these individuals as the game's narrative unfolds. Among these, Karlach, the Tiefling Barbarian, has garnered significant admiration from players, emerging as a top romance choice within Baldur's Gate 3. For those interested in pursuing a companionship or romantic involvement with Karlach, queries may arise concerning the potential conclusions that her character arc entails within the game.
    While affection for the benevolent Tiefling Barbarian, Karlach, is on the rise among enthusiasts, the storylines involving her in Baldur's Gate 3 do not culminate in the happiest of conclusions. This factor contributes significantly to the compelling nature of her numerous narrative arcs within the game. Karlach's central storyline revolves around the restoration of her infernal engine. Following this restoration, she comes to realize that the engine generates excessive heat for the material plane, implying that it will inevitably lead to her demise unless she returns to Avernus. Nevertheless, the prospect of returning to Avernus entails forsaking the life she holds dear, thereby forcing her to abandon a realm she toiled diligently to escape from.
    The most poignant aspect concerning Karlach and the various outcomes her story presents is that none of them fall neatly into categories of good or bad. The conclusions of her narrative are fraught with nuances, subjecting players to emotional turmoil if they've developed an attachment to her character. Two potential endings involve Karlach's return to the dreaded Avernus, a fate she finds more dreadful than death due to her aversion to being conscripted into conflict. In one scenario, she might journey to Avernus alongside Wyll, while in another, she could undertake the journey with the player by her side. However, as previously mentioned, the prospect of returning to Avernus is something that players who care deeply for Karlach wish to avoid. The uncertainty of what lies ahead for both Karlach and the player in Avernus adds to the complexity of this decision, amplifying the emotional weight attached to these choices.

This resulted in her doing the "goodbye"-speech alone and then blowing up with Wyll reaching for her but failing to do anything about it.

    Of any characters deserving and needing a good ending, Karlach was it. Betrayed, sold yet always up to fight for the good of others. Fucked by life doesn’t begin to describe her whole experience.
    Yet, I feel like the best ending remains if you follow her with Wyll to Avernus. At least you get to stay together, and she can be rid of the loneliness part. And if there is any possibility that Larian could release a short DLC I would definitely petition that we get as new objective to find Karlach’s heart make her whole again. Then it’s all about escaping the hells another time.

    Karlach going to Avernus witb Tav is my personal good ending for her. Even without Illithid powers, Tav and Karlach are extremely powerful warriors who even managed to beat a devil. While Raphael is not even close to be as strong as characters like Zariel, I think if Tav and Karlach do not try to intervere with higher forces, they have nothing in hell to fear.
    Also if you rescued hope you not only have another ally, but also a nice place to stay 😊

    • @seeinred
      @seeinred 9 месяцев назад +14

      I'm kinda curious about Raphael's relative powerscaling.
      He might not be as strong in traditional sense, but he has some wild shit going for him:
      - He's the Mephistopheles' child.
      - He's very good at this whole Devil thing - even through the game we can see how well he plots, how he expands his forces, we even help him recruit one of the assets - and no matter what we do, he ends up being recruited.
      - His fight has one tiny, tiiiny thing that might be game-changer. "Ascended Fiend". I've yet to find any info on that, but if you put it on the same relativity scale as "Vampire - Ascended Vampire" it changes everything. It will also justify his whole power plot and ability to efficiently use Crown to it's fullest.

      @@seeinredI mean he needed the Crown of Karsus- the most potent magical artifact ever created by a wide, wide margin- to get the nerve to make a move against Zariel. Beating him definitely makes Tav and company look pretty tough, but it's definitely wishful thinking to hope they would be able to kill Zariel on her home turf. It's all headcannon so as far as you're concerned whatever seems the coolest can be what happened, but based off the DnD source material it's basically impossible for Tav, Karlach and Wyll to kill Zariel in Avernus. *Maybe* Ascended Astarion, Crown of Karsus Gale and Chosen of Bhaal Durge could pull it off, but Karlach and Wyll without his pact are pretty much the two weakest members of the party by the end of the game lol

      ​@@Sdogofdoom I had the opposite problem with it, none of the characters are pure good maybe except Shadowheart after her redemption. Gale is a power hungry fool thinking he's good but actually easily manipulated and is just narcissistic overall, he never thinks of others and always self-centred. Karlach, is the most kind hearted amongst the group but also power hungry, has that weapon mentality where she always has to kill and is pretty much an anti-hero. Which I think is cool but doesn't go well if you're going for a pure good playthrough. Wyll is also self centered and is a fool for heroic approach, he doesn't care much about the cost if it means he gets to play the hero. Lae'zel is a fascist alien who always thinks her race is always right, and if they're wrong then it's because someone else from her race is right. Astorion and Minthera are just pure evil. There's not a single character who is a true good person, they're all wrapped up in their own worlds and are too obsessed with themselves and their perspective. Which makes a lot of sense for the narrative, and pretty cool overall to see them try to do everything just to survive but it would also be really cool to have a single pure good character. We have like two pure evil characters so why not a single pure good companion? Still, it's just my own nitpicking so can't really blame anyone for it.

      @@MilliardoVD Datamined content shows that not only did Karlach have a full ending where her infernal engine was fixed and that she survived, but that most of it was fully voiced and complete. However it required triggers from the Upper City portion of Baldur's Gate and when that was cut, so was Karlach's Act 3 storyline. What we have behind have been confirmed to be Karlach's "fail state" endings which were meant to only play if the player neglected her quest chain.

    So sad. I honestly hope Tav/TDU (maybe as a mind flayer even? lol) + Wyll + Karlach in Avernus is the expansion being considered. That sounds like the one reasonable high level adventure after all the power crazyness in the base game. Lae'zel goes with Orpheus, Gale rebuilds and gives the Crown to Mystra, becoming her chosen for that. Shadowheart is the one looser end in this. But all of them could be part of the story at some point. Hope and her house fit in very nicely in this as a base of operations and connection to the material plane. And the story could further explore Zariel, Mizora, etc.

      @TheGodLycan At the same time that statement was made Swen also commented that it isn't out of the question, but that they'd be taking a break for the time being.

      Sadly they cut most of interesting path to wrap up the otherwise masterpiece. Hope they will get back evrything they had to cut because Hasbro made them rush release and more.

      Well when the actual ending is only like a few minutes of VERY shallow dialogue, who gives a shit lol. Act 3 over all was SUCH a disappointment. I wish I just did the main quests and wrapped it up, all of it felt like filler except raphael
