Convincing Shadowheart to betray Shar and release Nightsong | Baldur's Gate 3

If you dont persuade her and she kill nightsong everyone in the lightin such as Jaheria dies!

I had no idea that I started breaking shadow hearts belief when I passed a perception check in act 1 and asked why she had a selune marking on her lol

Her face looka so goofy here

got a crit straight away... really pleased with the result

This game is the best thing to happen to the gaming industry in years.

Oh my god I love this game

I failed the check and she still threw it away

One of the greatest moments in this game. God, I love this game. It's really giving me back those dragon age origins goosebumps

I keep going back to listen to Nightsing's va its so good

When she transforms into her armor with the sword i genuinely had chills

I had no choice but to push her off :(

The melody is so beautiful - I was completely captivated, no pun intended

So sadly, I have two saves. One where I freed her and we are currently fighting in the tower but all the mini side quest freeing the gnomes and finding the kids are gone. And another where I start all over from the beginning of the dungeon which took at least 2+ hours along with three bosses I have to kill again. Should I move on and let mol n the kids die or should I free her after I do the tower

I just threw the spear in to the abyss myself and she automatically goes to this dialogue

The voice acting in this game is amazing almost without exception but I really got to hand it to whoever voiced The Nightsong/Dame Aylin. Stunning work! The conviction of her delivery gives me chills as much as the music in this scene.

I rolled a fucking nat20 during this scene lmfao. That's a top 10 gaming moment for me, I wanted to persuade her so bad.

Literal chills when that music kicks in. So, SO good.

Sailor moon reference

Didnt need to do/say anything. She did this all by herself on my playthrough. So proud of her s2

My Shadowheart got shoved over the edge then left me forever when i rescued nightsong...

"Aylin" means "Moon Glow" in Turkish. So as a turkish player i can say they've chosen a great name for her.

Balthazar?

as in the Supreme Patriarch of the Imperial Colleges of Magic and one of the Empire's greatest wizards of the age?

shadowheart was dead when i did this so i was confused why she said she betrayed her goddes.

Love that her hair turns white after this! This is what we chose on our first playthrough

great...is ther any chance I could do it as barbarian xD ?

Bro I wanted aasimar to be playable in this game and now I see why they didn’t, they used them as a empyrean/solar hybrid

I love how after all the machinations and evil magics needed to hold the Nightsong in this place and siphon her power for a century, all that is needed to break evil’s hold is a heartfelt gesture of kindness.

Truly beautiful.

Shadowheart looks prettier on low graphics ngl lmao

Shar is such a petty little bitch goddess... like you save your parents and in exchange she will hurt your wrist forever because petty

Shadowheart actually left my party after this because I couldn't use her properly so I didn't bring her to the gauntlet and I freed the Nightsong without her.

I had a cool nat 20 on this moment no joke. I had basically chosen every respectful of her belief option I could have up until this moment too so role play wise I felt like that famous Last Airbender scene with Iroh and Zuko. Iroh had always been respectful of his nephew's hunt for the good guy, but when he saw him reach such a self destructive moment he stepped in. So my guy literally has a moment of, "I've respected your choices, but you have to think about what do YOU want!" Made the 20 feel so good, even if I know from others that she can make the choice herself too.

my character was dead when shadowheart had this dialogue so couldnt stop her from killing nightsong🫠

Thinking on this it's so sad to consider what probably happened with viconia in the time span between baldur's gate 2 and 3. She managed to escape servitude to one evil goddess only to find herself manipulated by another.... Trying to find a better path only to discover...loss.

If you have very high relationship with her,doing nothing is the best choice.She makes the decision on her own.

Guys, just trust our goth mommy and keep your mouth shut and she throws the spear away. Literally just stay out of it and she does great

What armor does your character have?

When you see her fully transformed and then you realize that Ketheric sent an undead male version to capture his daughter which the Nightsong loved. That dude was an srse

she is thrilled with me so basically the most amount of approvel i can get yet i can't even convince her cuz my char don't have persuasion skill so i can atmost get a +8 so a 28 even when i roll a perfect 20..
that feels kinda bs. when she constantly says shit like, she didn't know what it felt like to smile or have butterflies in the stomach before she met me.. having to roll a 30 seems extremely excessive. shouldn't it decrease the amount needed depending on your relationship.. meanwhile even tho i dont have that good relations with Lae'Zel i got her to turn on Vlaakith mega ez..

can't stop thinking about this scene, one of the most emotional moments in gaming for me.

What is the reward from going against shar? Do you get a different quest / reward route?

Good Choice! 😇

I finished the fight right before talking to nightsong, then shadowheart was at my camp all of a sudden, and i couldn't get her back there. I started dialogue with nightsong and Shadowheart was back talking with her. I also passed the persuasion check, spared nightsong. Shadowheart was at the camp again. I go back to the camp to get her back, she starts a dialogue, and tells me i ruined her life and leaves the party. Wtf... haha

I killed her just before entering this location, i got sick of this fanatical sh*t 😬

it's kinda horseshit that the good ending is entirely dependent on this very difficult dice roll. i find this game goes out of it's way to punish you for not doing a charisma build.

I wish I knew what the track is called the one that plays in the background when you free her... It's SOO damn BEAUTIFUL!

That scene and music was beautiful. I was sp excited when I found out she was an Aasimar (prb my favorite race) honestly wished they was playable

I had to kill my shadowheart cuz she went crazy ...

actually you can avoid that hard roll if you pick the first line then convince shadowheart listen to her.
