I'd take her to devil court for the "heartless" clause in the contract, as it did not specify as to what is defined by "heartless", as she implies that the contract ment "having no heart", this violates this part as the infernal engine that was placed in Karlach's chest is by definition a heart. Crude, prostetic heart, but still a heart, as such, by the law of Nine Hells the contract has been breached, and the cheating devil needs to be punished.

[@RubyRoseITA]

Nope. By definition the infernal Engine ISN'T a heart. It doesn't pulse, it only keeps her alive acting as fuel. A heart, by definition is: "S hollow muscular organ that pumps the blood through the circulatory system by rhythmic contraction and dilation. In vertebrates there may be up to four chambers (as in humans), with two atria and two ventricles." The infernal Engine doesn't pump blood nor it contracts or dilates. So your case is forfeit, you can go now dear Ta-ta!

[@RubyRoseITA]

@@nightmareraven3045 Welll you should re-do your studies, dear! By the law of the nine hells the devil who makes the contract isn't forced to specify any kind of detail in their contract, that is the human's duty, afterall Wyll had the chance to add detaiils or even change the contract before signing it! Therefore, by heartless, that means everyone who doesn't have a heart by definition! And... Modern definition? You do know that definition, in the "real" world was invented even before steam was found? Aaaand... The D&D world is in the middle of a steam-era. Just think about the fact we have newspapers, or even a fully fledged hospital in the shadow cursed lands! Considering that hospital is one of the hospitals used during the invention of lobotomy, where medicine was at one of its peaks... Yeah, i'd say the definition is already valid.

[@Playernotfound-404]

So, in actual contract law she would be in violation of intent. Generally speaking, one uses the ordinary meaning of a word in order to determine what the intent for that contract is. The word heartless generally means someone who is without empathy, as that is the general meaning of the word that is how literally every court would adjudicate it as. Unless the contract specifically identifies heartless as meaning somebody who lacks a heart you cannot use "technically they don't have a heart anyways" as a defense. Now this becomes important when you realize that both parties in a contract are beholden to said contract. She is just as bound by contract as he is, it's not like she can't not give him powers If he's doing what he's supposed to and it's not like she can just decide how the contract goes. The contract is there and it is sealed and both parties are equal in its execution. Why is her definition of heartless more correct than his definition? Trust me devils do not want to establish that the power of interpretation is in the contractor as opposed to a separate body/the contractee or vice versa. Otherwise, you're having situations where a contracted devil is told things like kill anyone who walks into this room and if somebody flies in there they still get punished for following what was told if they don't kill them because they didn't walk in.

But Wyll does actually have Dialog about the Tadpole.

Not saying it's the most elegant solution to ever solution, but they kinda give a lore explanation on why things are, the way they are.

[@ArgentumFox]

There are a couple of things at play with both characters. First, both Wyll and Karlach are designed to be found a bit later in the campaign, so normally people would be level 3 or 4 when they find them. Second, they both come with lore explanations for their weakened state. Karlach's Infernal Engine is not working properly now she is out of Avernus and, as @eiselfe2435 said, Wyll blames his tadpole.

And it would make the entire plot point with Kethric Thorm making a deal with Myrkul to revive his daughter pretty irrelevant if he could have just waved a level 1 scroll at her and gotten the same result.

[@theetiketcrk8189]

just watching this made my heart ache. karlach is such a sweet character.

[@weebjeez]

Because of how much Wyll protested about letting Karlach live, I shrugged my shoulders and said "Whatever, my party member wants to kill this NPC, who am I to stand in his way" Then he IMMEDIATELY started to get second-doubts. I was like "dude... I literally wouldn't have done this is YOU hadn't told me it was the only way. You can't be like "oh, what have we done" no, dude. What have YOU forced ME to do!? I then started to loot her corpse. And upon seeing her inventory I realized she was supposed to be a recruitable NPC. Guess that what happens when you avoid the pre-release stuff.

[@thatoneguy9816]

Forced you?

[@simplesubtitutions7105]

​@thatoneguy9816 yes he forced him. Dude throws a tantrum at the start saying to not trust her. I knew she was recruitment because of small clips I've seen on the game. But if I hadn't I would've probably killed her too

[@thatoneguy9816]

you could've said no. You don't blame someone else for your reluctance. @@simplesubtitutions7105

[@leroygreen9227]

That's what I thought too. Wyll was talking about her as if she were Medusa. I also met the fake Paladins before confronting Karlauch and thought killing her was a no-brainer. I didn't realize until I seen some videos days later, after I saved over it, that she's actually playable.

[@weebjeez]

@@leroygreen9227 Same on the Tyr Paladins. Met them first, they led me to Karlach. Wyll's quest was to slay her, everyting was lining up!! It wasn't until I saw the loot she had (undies, camp supplies, named clothing) that I realized that I'd f'd up.

If Wyll got freed, our tadpoles were cured, Mizora destroyed the Elder Brain and gave you a Ring of Wishes, it still wouldn't be enough to justify hurting Karlach.

[@usctrojans001]

It was Day Two for Me and I had No Idea what I was Doing and what to Do First. I decided to do Wyll's Quest to kill Karlach. Wyll got Glitch Stuck in Some Mine so I took another Companion to Hunt Karlach. Took the Mission to Kill Her for the Reward. I Never Even Spoke to Karlach and Attacked. Took Her Head back for the Sword. Hours & Hours Passed before Figuring Out She was a (Hot) COMPANION!!! =(

[@bluelenaeevee2053]

I could never! I was trying my best to play an evil character in my first playthrough. I did alot of bad and Lae'zel threw herself at me. However things got difficult when Karlach came into the picture. I TRIED SO HARD TO STAY EVIL BUT DAMMIT. Karlach made me turn good XD Now I'm dating Karlach and Lae'zel is heartbroken.

I hate that this is the only way to keep Wyll from turning into a demon, and yet still not enough to free him from that blasted contract. I think I liked his early access questline better.

[@jotacecm]

What's different about his quest? I never played the early access

[@JStryker47]

@@jotacecm In EA, Mizora was missing and his mission was to find her so that he could try to negotiate his way out of his contract withher. The way you went about it was by interrogating two certain goblins, whose information implied that she was held prisoner somewhere in Moonrise Towers.

[@k4iten_]

I think Larian should add a Persuasion check when you first talk to Mizora to convince her that technically Karlach's infernal engine CAN be considered a heart, thus cancelling the deal due to it violating their contract.

I'm not certain about this, but if you recruit Karlach and then ignore the whole druid grove questline and progress to Act 2, you might be able to get both?

[@NightmareDoll_]

@@PeteringYT You can keep Karlach (and Wyll). Just kill her before the night Scene with Minthara happens where Karlach leaves (and keep her in your Party). Now the "leave Scene" (and Wyll's leave Scene) is skipped. After that, she is revived automatically. If she is not in your Party while she is dead, she is still there but she's not revivable. After all this happened, both, Karlach an Wyll are no longer against you. Her Quest can no longer be completed.

[@g.s.651]

This is like murdering Scratch. Thanks for the video, cuz I could never.

[@Kserijaro]

For my first playthough i picked Lae'zel, Shadowheart and Gale as company. Turned out all three have their stories TIED to main plot. Comparatively, Karlach, Astarion and Wyll feel like second hand actors doing their own thing. Kinda feels bad.

[@Awesomeisme7000]

Act 3 Wyll has more relevance but for Acts 1 and 2 definitely agree.

[@danjal87nl]

Karlach had a chunk of her story lost on the cutting room floor (there was supposed to be an entire segment in Avernus the size of Underdark supposedly - leading to her "good" ending). I imagine there's a similar explanation with Astarion's daddy having originally had stronger ties to the cut uppercity part of the game as Cazador Szarr's palace seems oddly placed on top of the walls. (Imagine it was originally supposed to be in the Upper City). Wyll, again similar story. I imagine that the Upper City would've held context with the nobility of Baldur's Gate and a certain someone becoming part of the powerful elite. Instead of it just kinda... Happening... The main difference that Wyll and Astarion's primary quest were done. So they probably just moved bits around to place it in the lower city.

[@omidog06]

I mean gale can literally be killed at first meeting by Dark Urge, and Lae'zel and shadowheart could kill each other so none are completely irreplaceable, act 3 has a lot of Wyll and Asterion moments, and my whole main playthrough I've not used Lae'zel once, Karlach however has a few throwaway lines and not much else though from what I've seen.

[@michasokoowski6651]

@@omidog06 Gale can also die because of bad rolls.

[@tyler-hp7oq]

Wyll is the son of probably the most important character in Act 3 lol. Shadowheart has no relevance to the main plot at all in Act 3. The reason she was sent on the mission to steal the artifact is such a disappointment lol.

[@kevbotchill]

The editing on that part is hilarious bro

When this happens just ungroup and make sure your character reaches the conversation first.

[@Markoniepolo]

[@bobmcbob49]

Normally if you bring Wyll to the bridge at Wyrm's crossing, the guards think he's lying about who he is and call him a tiefling. Wonder if they let him through now or not

[@chickendrawsdogs3343]

Decent looking armor there Wyll. The Selunites want it back.

[@joka760]

Can you not kill Karlach and then revive her? Wouldn't that mean that Wyll technically completed his part of the agreement?

[@StabYourBrain]

You can only revive party members and when you kill her, she obviously doesn't join your party. From a narrative or "lore" standpoint, Revivify only works on people that have been dead for less than a minute and since you only learn about Mizora and Wyll's Pact once you take a long rest, it is safe to assume that Karlach has been dead for too long to be revived.

[@jessa2666]

The photo shop to not get it taken down 😂

[@jamison85]

For anyone wondering what the reward is - it's an Infernal Robe: Cloth armor, +1 AC, resistance to fire damage, and can cast Fire Shield. Nothing special, really. I haven't explored Karlach's story, as she doesn't fit my party in this playthrough. My regular party is Wyll, Shadowheart and Lae'Zel, with myself playing a SorLock. I recruited her and am friendly to her, but I find her ever so slightly annoying. Maybe that'll change on my next playthrough. Still, absolutely not worth the item reward, and she certainly didn't deserve to die. It might change some of the future interactions though, maybe the gate guards in act III actually recognize him without the horns.
