As part of the first anniversary of the release of Baldur's Gate 3, Larian has released more juicy data on players' decisions in their various playthroughs on X, “The Everything App”. It's always interesting to see the wild ways others have chosen to experience the game, but the best part is learning things you didn't even know were in the game Spoilers regarding the ending of Baldur's Gate 3, and content regarding suicide Warning.

Before we get to the main event, I want to shout out the most evil choice in the game: turning Tara of Gale's Tresim family into a hairless cat. It would be cruel, but even this ambiguous outcome, experienced by only 2,185 players, is downright mainstream compared to Lae'zel's most bizarre possible fate.

“Thirty-four players playing as Lae'zel chose to commit suicide at the end of the game after being denied promotion by Vlaakith,” says Larian's infographic on this rare outcome. But how do you get to that point?” Thankfully, YouTube's SlimX, an esoteric expert on Baldur's Gate 3, has published an instructional video on the subject.

The ending requires an extreme edge case in which the player from Lae'zel swears allegiance to Vlaakith in Gith's personal quest, but chooses to become a mind flayer when presented with a choice by the emperor. Much of the drama and tension surrounding becoming a mind flayer in this scene stems from helping Orpheus, the exiled prince of Gith.

So, this setting alone requires some unnatural choices. At the very end of the game, the mind flayer Lae'zel makes an astral call to Vlaakith, but it goes unanswered. Realizing that his body and soul have been rejected, Ikazul is faced with the choice of ending his life there and then or continuing to live regardless.

Not only must he choose Lae'zel's “evil” path in the game, which is to remain loyal to the immortal witch, the Empress, but he must also do something bad, becoming one of Githyanki's irreconcilable enemies for no reason at the last minute.Baldur's Like so many such cases in Gate 3, it speaks to Larian's next-level commitment to respect and respond to player choice. And being rejected from Vraakis' “Ascension” is not so bad. What is referred to as the “living Valhalla” of the Gysyanki is actually a cover for Vraakis to deprive his most promising subjects of their life force.
