If they ever adapted BG3 into a show without Tav as the main lead, plotwise it should be Lae'zel. The Githyanki play such a big role in this game and she honestly has the best character development.

[@KitGusta]

Apparently canonically Laezel and Shadowheart are the most important characters in our party, while Gale should be the leader of the party if Tav didn't exist either. So it would be cool to see it.

If you go past the first save in the zaithisk and succeed all the others you can prevent the debuffs as well as convince Lae'zel that the Queen may be lying to her due to the Zaithisk not working correctly. She'll then be cool with you purging the entire creche cuz... weakness breeds weakness.

[@Jenna_Talia]

That's one thing I don't get about Lae'zel's character. She's so so quick to happily be an enemy of her people, the goddess she's looked up to and worshipped her whole life is false and seeks to kill her but she near immediately recovers and takes it in stride. I know she's remarkably strong and has a steel will but I don't feel like anybody would be able to recover that fast after such a revelation.

[@angryvaultguy]

​@@Jenna_TaliaI guess because githyanki are so militarized as a culture killing is no big deal so when the creche become hostile to her in lea'zeals mind it's her or them

[@richytheking1315]

@@Jenna_TaliaI don’t think this is true at all. Her first interaction upon being told shes an enemy of her people is that Vlakith must be testing her. Her first impulse is to deny all evidence and delude herself, yet you can still hear the heartbreak in her voice as she says it because she clearly knows the truth and doesn’t want to admit it. She’s incredibly hurt by this and basically turns off. Her next interaction is her proclaiming herself Vlakiths most loyal servant. Girls going through it and shes just trying to hold whatever face she can. Wouldn’t be surprised if she properly breaks down off screen that night. If anything killing the creche gives her a distraction in the least.

[@str8forthakill]

You can outright murder the entire creche after using the device that can "remove" the tadpole, including Therezzyn, Lae'zel wont raise an eyebrow because there is a "traitor" and they are "protecting" them. Steal the gem and enter the chamber to give the relic directly to the queen, then convince Lae'zel about the queens lies and exit the relic. Poof, and she is loyal to the Orpheus instantly and sees all other Githyanki loyal to the queen as traitors.

[@Xeroid49]

heres a tip, go back and kill all the githyanki ( lots of FREE XP), then go and nuke it for the funs. that way you get all the xp for killing them since nuking them does not.

[@greetingsargonian]

yeah this is the way. do quests, then kill everyone, then nuke

[@adriankoch964]

As usual you can get 3x the xp by first talking your way through, saving &loading, defeating everyone non lethally, saving&loading, then killing everyone who is knocked out.

[@rodswoodworking7151]

I did not know this trick, gonna try it when I get home since I just got to the creche.

[@rogercollins239]

You can put your 3 additional party members in the safe zone before triggering the nuke, then just Revivify the MC afterwards.

[@juice6521]

Or you could be a badass and run out of the crumbling temple Indian Jones style.

[@helpfulDeathgod]

You can also deny giving the artefact both times, kill everyone on your way there, and the Lich Queen will still show herself. You still have to agree to do what she says at that point, as she will otherwise Wish you to death if you don't, side with your Dream Visitor, and then come out. It requires a speech check on Lae'zel a few times to keep her going along with you for some of it, and when you come out, though it is much easier if you did the Zaithisk first because she's more willing to believe that something is wrong then.

[@lifeonmars4088]

Astarion did nothing wrong

[@ChiakiNanami736]

Correct.

[@lendial]

I came into this with Lae'zel having neutral opinion of me and came out of it with her at around 50. I was so worried she would leave but luckily i didnt kill anyone unless attacked first.

[@juice6521]

I murderered everyone and then Oppenheimer'd the shit out of their base.

[@ryit6249]

Why does your Guardian remind me of the chief of police from Zootopia? xD

[@nathandudley4537]

Easiest way I found to "nuke the crèche" is to open the iron flask while you hide in a closet. Technically my party hid in the closet while the wizard opened the iron flask and then ran to safety. Darkness and fog cloud until they nearly destroyed eachother and then joined the combat.

[@Viliar]

Lol. 'Complete her quest to keep her'. That's some detective work

I initiated the fight with just Shadowheart, then have the other characters sneak in. But then after killing everyone there was a pretty high requirement dice roll check to convince Lae'zel.

At 12:35 to spin the statue you can use a bottle of grease if everyone fails the athletics check and you dont want to reload.

I was so happy, I AM HAPPY, to find this out for "myself". This makes one of the greatest "FLOW" in my gaming-historie ! It started with the 2 statue, one i could move, the other one i miss the "athletic-turn" . After many turns and tryings, i only hit with my monk at this statue and see it , IT WORKED !!!!! After the hidden wall was opened, my mouth doesnt stop to close :-) . i got the mace and close the cases . BUT, why your PALADIN looks indivdual ??? Does i miss something 😂😂

Fought the GythInquis first, LaeZel left the group temporarly upset and waited for me to enter the Astral plane, got same dialogue and chose same answers (turned against Vlaakith, open your mind) and she was fine killing the whole Creche on the way back ^^ (didn't nuke it tho) And indeed the hidden Athletics rolls on the statues are sh#t

[@greetingsargonian]

i learned later that you can throw oil on them and they will work!

[@xignum]

Mine was similar, but very different. I killed the inquisitor but Lae'zel died in the process. I can't revive her and in the journal it says she left the party after turning on the party. So yeah she's just dead now, and nobody has anything to comment on the matter.

[@AshGreen359]

I didn't have to destroy the power source. I just misty stepped out

[@Nopee531]

Went into the crèche with good approval left with max 💀

[@carlossantana4108]

You mentioned saving right before making the check to move the statue; but fun fact, if the statue gets stuck and you hit it with a weapon attack, it will "unstick" it so that you'll then be able to move it normally.

[@nguyentran7068]

Alternatively you can pickpocket the stone from the Kith'rak to go through the sealed door. Lae'zel will still side with you against the Inquisitor if you have enough approval with her, else its a 21 DC persuation check. After that you can nuke the place however you like

The worst creche experience for me was when Lae'zel turned against my party. This can happen if you let her speak to the inquisitor and attack him before going to the prism.

[@rafaelrigottocunha6826]

It may be bugged after the latest patch - multiple people wrote the same issue. Or something changed that I am not aware of. Or you might used the little Lathander thingy that allows you to take the mace without consequences. When I played, you needed just to take the mace without permission to trigger the cannon

I've done nothing of sort, and lae'zel still sides with me 😂 I took her to the doc, she almost died in the machine that should cure her, then i refused to give the prism, killed every gith, took the weapon in the secret room but used the lathander's token, so the gun didn't activate. I also took the egg and gave it to the strage lady of the society of geniality or whatever, and lae'zel didn't care.
