Baldur's Gate 3 - Lae'zel Romance/Child + New Patch 5 Epilogue

[@ladonmccabe]

"He will be a fine warrior, *if he chooses.* Or a poet, or an explorer, or a scholar." So beautiful to watch her grow into her best self, choosing acceptance and love, along with her warrior spirit. You can tell that, even though she is a fighter, she loves unconditionally, now.

I also left the egg from the monastery crèche with her, she was not my romance partner. I encouraged her to “become the Comet” and return to her people with the Prince’s Dragons (as he made the sacrifice). At the party Lae'zel appears as an astral projected entity (purple translucent). She actually drops more lore about the Xan than what’s mentioned here. He is with the mages of Xamvadi'm. "I’d trust his care to no one else”. In the battle against Vlaakith, Lae'zel also mentions she is responsible for securing an alliance with Zaerith Menyar-Ag-Gith, the immortal god-king of the githzerai, ruler of their capital, Shra'kt'lor, and an ascetic who reached out to her in good faith.

I think you have to steal the egg from the hatchery but not give it to Lady Esther. If Laezel is in the party when you are stealing the egg she can convince the infirmary head to give her the egg voluntarily by having her promise to raise the child to become the strongest warrior the world has ever seen. Up until this patch having the egg in your inventory until the end of the game did nothing.

Despite the "reputation" githyanki possess, Lae'zel never gave me the impression of cruel and sadistic. Instead, I've always seen passion Everything she does, she does earnestly and wholeheartedly Her beliefs, her love, her hatred, and her way of communicating her emotions are all so poetic I think her romance stands out to me because she comes off as "difficult" to love, but when she falls for Tav, she loves as intensely as shes lived her life

[@Unotuchable]

She was basically a teenager experiencing the outside world for the first time.

[@bessieburnet9816]

Well said. Love Lae'zel's character. 👏🏽

[@JStryker47]

I did sort of have that impression at first, when playing the EA build. But I kept her around anyway, because she seemed handy in combat. Then when the bard class was released, I found that pleasing her without being a total jerk was easier than I'd originally thought, and I was able to get it on with her for the first time. And of course, I'd been dying to see where the whole creche quest would eventually lead, when the full release came out. Not only was I ultimately pleased with where her character arc goes, but I was even more pleased to see her in action, when leveled up. Once I'd get her past level 5, she'd practically become my Ace of Spades.

What an amazing character Lae'zel is. I loved seeing her progress and change, because of the decisions you make in the game. She can become a completely different character. This is my favorite choice for romance in the game.

[@AndyMacster]

There has never been a character arc in gaming that glows as brightly as Lae'zel's

[@alexjgilpin]

2:37 Between Orpheus choosing to fight Vlaakith and 9:53 Lae'Zel choosing to stay in Faerun I think this would make a far better origin point for the Githzerai breaking from the Githyanki in most D&D campaigns. It would definitely do a lot to explain why some player characters wandering Faerun are part of the Astral Sea peoples. In the Zerthimon story Githzerai probably have little reason to come to Faerun in the first place, which doesn't add up as well as if Orpheus sees this plane as allied, or if the PC is a descendant of Lae'Zel.

[@jayk9068]

The game mentions them being here for a while and the monastery where they are set up has "ancient" gith soldiers as corpses scattered around, and Gale mentions it fell into ruins a long time ago. So haven't they been here a while already in the back story of this game?

I could be wrong but i believe after seeing the hatchery in the creche if you speak to Lae'zel about it she tells you not every githyanki is capable of laying eggs and those that can are specially chosen by Vlaakith to do so meaning the hatchling most likely is indeed the one from the hatchery assuming you never handed it over to the lady outside the creche

Yeh, I am assuming you get the son by taking the egg from the Creche. Lae'zel explicitly states she won't get pregnant through having sex with you so the baby can't have come from the two of you. I lied to the woman who was wanting it (might have even killed her) because I didn't want her to take it to the Society of Brilliance or whatever, apparently if they raise it it does not go well. Then I had Lae'zel carry the 40 pound egg around for the entirety of my campaign, just for the thematics of it. And then was surprised to hear it hatched in patch 5 and we have a little baby. :P Funnily enough it still makes me uneasy that Orpheus is upset with you about taking the egg.

Typo in the dialogue at 5:22 lol

[@GoonManGuy]

Since the Emperor is a control freak, I think there is only one way for everyone we care about to get the best ending. I want to preface it with the theme of the game being to rise up in spite of the greater forces controlling us. We write our own destinies. Namely, fuck Mizora, Vlaakith, Zariel, Mystra, Cazador, Shar, and Bhaal. With that said, depending on your romance option: - Orpheus becomes a mind flayer, Githyanki Tav joins Lae’zel in the liberation of their people. Otherwise, Vlaakith supporter Lae’zel is convinced to stay on the prime material plane. - Wyll becomes the Blade of Avernus and takes Karlach back to the Hells. Tav can go too, if Karlach was romanced. - Shadowheart rejects Shar and her parents are rescued. - Astarion does not complete the ritual. The goal here is to reject our masters, not become them. - Gale gives up the Crown. This seems counter to my premise, but Raphael is very certain that Gale will cause something akin to the next Time of Troubles, only much worse. - The Shadow-Cursed Lands are healed for Halsin. - Minsc is convinced to collaborate with the Guild. - Jaheira and Minthara don’t need any extra effort aside from being alive at the end of the game, but Minthara does love Tav even more if they become a mind flayer, and one ending makes it out that becoming illithid isn’t as bad as Withers thought it was. Become squid at your own risk. Sprinkle on Dark Urge rejecting Bhaal as desired.

[@mishiara5499]

While sweet, i feel like keeping her with you pc you are denying her from her true calling and fate. I wish there was an option that you join against vlaakith in the astral seas together

I'd personally argue it goes against her entire character arch, especially if you romance her. If you romance her she says you shown her true freedom, and how much she likes Faerun. If she stays with Tav it plays into this really nicely imo!

I can fix her, but you actually fix her

Fix how? She opened up more when romancing Tav, realizing how beautiful things are, not just blood and war. Opened her eyes maybe, but not fixed.

[@anthonym840]

​​@@Zindoriffic techically fix. So when u help her see that Vlaakith is a liar or stick by her side, she begins to see things from ur perspective. For instance if u choose to do certain things she no longer thinks that it has to always end in violence, even though she will admit that she may have preferred it. But she starts to get an epiphany about her her trust in u. Amd starts to see everything about her. Her biggest flaw however is her blind faith in Vlaakith, its the same mirrored flaw that Shadowheart has. U technically speaking do fix this by proving all of this to her.

Why do you hate Halsin? Other than maybe the whole *bear* scene 😂

[@12345heyguys]

I noticed you had no mindflayer with you in the end, was there something added where you can get this scene with orpheus and nobody turned illithid?

[@Praetorian349]

There's a tricky way to convince Orpheus not to need someone to turn Illithid, but it comes with a brief visual glitch in the conversation where you are Illithid for about 2 seconds. Then after that every interaction behaves as if you succeeded without needing anyone be Illithid. You ask the Emperor to give you the tadpole that will turn you Illithid, then betray him and free Orpheus. You can then convince Orpheus to trust in Gale's plan to blow himself up, saying you have the tadpole you can use to turn Illithid if things don't work. Gale blows himself up, no one has tentacles, everyone's happy. :) Except Gale.

i need to know how this is done

[@Praetorian349]

@@Carlos-qu1rd The steps I mention in the reply should cover it, but I can make a video walking through it if you like.

[@alissapenridge7516]

⁠@@Praetorian349you can also side with Orpheus, have Gale turn illithid, then have Gale surrender the crown to Mystra and ask her to turn him human again.

@@alissapenridge7516 Oh wow, that’s so cool! Thanks for letting me know, I’ll have to try that end out at some stage.

[@MeamoRamon]

Wait what.?..I couldn't convince Orpheus to use Gale to destroy the Netherbrain and had to become a Mindflayer myself (didn't want to sacrifice Orpheus for Lae'zel)...that romance ending was weird... :/

You're telling me i would've had a child?!?! 😢. I let her go save her people, since i let Orpheus become a mind flayer. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
