The Dark Urge Kills Isobel - What Happens if you Kill Isobel | Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3)

[@K369-v3o]

If you don't want your party screeming at you for this glorious act of blood letting, it's real simple. Kill Wyll, Behead Karlach, Dehand Gale. Save Minthara, promote Shadowheart, Dominate Laezel and laugh along with Astarion. Remember, Always give in to the dark urge.

[@Walsinats4]

Shart screaming at you despite the fact its her goddess’ curse that kills them

[@al_fletcher]

She does comment that this must be a twisted interpretation of Shar’s will when observing the curse

[@ComradeBread]

Because she's pragmatic about things. Sure it's Shar's curse but she realises that without Isobel's protection of the inn, things are just unnecessarily harder for your group. She might enjoy some protection form the curse but the rest don't and she knows she needs them

[@thouartseraph]

BG3 doesn’t have that good of writing to even consider that methinks.

[@MyUsernameIsGoofy]

There's a difference between hating a Goddess and hating a Cleric which just so happens to believe in that Goddess.

[@bignerd5529]

Probably because Shart knew that we needed their help first, whereas later when Shart finds the Nightsong, they were of no consequence anymore and they outlived their usefulness

[@cadenboissineau4604]

ACT 1 Dark urge: I dont know whats going on, but i have these twisted urges to do things to people. Companions: Oh haha dont we all? ACT 2 companions: HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?! Dark Urge: for fucks sake...

[@joshuaseagondollar2495]

Meanwhile Astarion and Minthara are the only ones who take you seriously when you tell them.

[@RecoveringLoLAddict]

I like how Isobel is open to the possibility of you redeeming yourself, even after you confess to her face that you want to tear her guts and and use her intestines as sponges. And even after you say you won't act upon your urges, the option for "I WILL FCKIN DO IT NOW" is always open.

[@e.b.farmer4]

If Karlach is still alive by this point… You’re Dark Urging wrong. 😂

[@fuchsraeude1294]

Exactly. Thank you.

[@shadowcastyt]

Nah way more fun to Palpatine it, convince everyone your cool then backstab all of them at the very end of the game

[@rustkarl]

I absolutely love the facial expressions they do for the dragonborn. There’s so much little movement that makes it seem so alive with its musings.

[@karmavirus]

I feel sad I was robbed of the conflict, but I stumbled on a way to keep your party mostly happy and kill her. I completed Nightsong's Dark Justicier mission for evil and I guess the result was that the city falls and Isobel dies to the shadows. The Butler is still pleased and gives me the new form, and the party only grimmaces about the new form but doesn't scream at you for murder like this video. So I guess you can win this mission via butterfly effect in a manner which the party doesnt blame you for it.

[@lefthook2397]

More like elephant effect since you crushed everything and just killed her as a side effect.

God, and I thought the game was fucked up enough when you're the GOOD guy.

[@TwinsenR]

Wow, this did not play out like this for me at all. I didn't get the visit from the little devil until I was approaching to attack Moonrise. I didn't really have an opportunity to kill her. Now that it's all over, she's standing next to The Nightsong. No way they'll let me kill her now. UGH!

[@BigHalfSteps]

Well you get an opportunity to a) Kill her when she gets abducted by Marcus b) Kill her while collaborating with Marcus c) Kill her afterwards by simply attacking her d) (haven't tested myself, but) kill her when she stands with General Thorm against you at the end of act 2.

[@heathengypsy]

Possibly not long resting enough.

[@phoenixale1091]

can you loot her armor? ok little update for people who are looking to get her armor there is no need to kill her you can loot her armor in the wardrobe in her room, the wardrobe it's on the left from the entrance of the room.

[@kratos5038]

flying horror takes away Isobel's body, watch the video again.

[@joeysalazar98]

Also in the graveyard of the mausoleum at the entrance

[@Spartenallec]

You get purple better version of her armor if you kill her too

[@sothesalamilidwontfit]

the robes in her room are regular and unenchanted. you only get isobel's unique robes when you find her body later

[@DanielEmp]

You can, after you beat Ketheric. It's a pretty sweet robe that gets replaced once you get to act 3.

[@MrSuvvri]

meanwhile if you let SH kill nightsong and tell her that because of it everyone in the inn is dead now she wont care at all

[@MataSanyo]

Thats part of the storytelling where both parts split very heavily till that she is deeply conflicted and has deep doubts and also is not rly evil, after killing nightsong she is fully in the hands of shar. With killing nightsong she also kills herself deep down and the doubts, and surrenders all to shar.

[@dantedarkies192]

Dark urge reminds me of a campaign I did in pathfinder. My tiefling ended up becoming the envoy for a crown that caused untold levels of chaos. By the end a tiefling monk was a Fiend-wereboar, who ate even his own party members, and caused insanity and chaos for sheer laughs, as well as a trail of bodies

[@bait668]

Uh question, why does Shadowheart care? It was a Selunite cleric and they all met the "love" of Shar.

[@ComradeBread]

Because losing a safe place to rest, allies and just generally making things harder for yourself is a tad inconvenient and Shart is a very pragmatic and practical person

[@hotdogz4857]

It's honestly worth destroying the inn. The Slayer is really good especially with the big health increase at level 10. Embrace your urge!

[@raphezar2049]

It's mid dawg

[@ComradeBread]

@@raphezar2049 like it's fine if you're doing a non resist Durge run but it is nowhere near worth losing the content and gear you miss out on by losing the inn people on a normal run

[@PhongNguyenThanh2503]

safest method is to use Invisible (spell or potion). Then use high damage move such as Flourish Range, and kill Isobel in 1 move. No one will agrro, and you can recruit Jaheira

[@battlefieldpro12345]

So after this, you could still go kill the Nightsong with Shadowheart?

[@setend6839]

I for the life of me cannot survive the shadow ambush afterwards

[@MrChupacabra555]

Interesting. I just finished encountering Isobel, and I am playing Dark Urge (but as "Lawful Good" as I can because Drama 😅) It was curious that I didn't take a long rest after getting to the Inn, and, try as I might, I couldn't save Isobel when the Flaming Fist came for her, but the game acted like I had been the one to kill her anyway. Doesn't matter; I Saved Scummed, went back and kept her alive, and got that encounter with the 'Butler' with that night's long rest (but decided to see what the full effects of her dying would be).

[@azazel166]

PSA: You can kill her at camp after the climax of Act 2, use invisibility and get as far from Aylin as possible and she'll give up after two turns.

[@Malgus87]

I guess this is an eviction notice

[@thehuskyraccoon]

Shouldn’t SH be happy you killed the moon witch’s daughter’s lover?

[@marekmd97]

So you can be playing as Dark Urge doing evil things and Wyll won't leave your party ? I wanted to start my 2nd playthrough as dark urge and use wyll as a companion but didn't know its possible.

[@mycelia_ow]

He's a pretty complicated character, when you speak to him about your urge or bad things you do ingame, his take isn't so straightforward like his persona would have you believe. He will not leave, and a lot of what I said is the reason he's a warlock, he's engaged in deals with devils and something happens to him if you keep Karlach alive. He really has no room to judge, you even talk about this ingame.

[@theepicduck6922]

@myceli Yep he's more a neutral good character on average short of destroying druids Grove not much he won't be down for stocking around for from what I've seen.

[@wile123456]

Why do you want the most lawful good character by your side in an evil playthrough?

[@lightskitty]

​@@wile123456funny question, either they like the character or they like the reaction of a good character to an evil one, more spicy and so on.

[@IamGruntonHGH]

My favorite thing is to save wyll, bring him onto the Nautiloid, then kill Mazura in front of him.

[@eli.sinell]

And what if I have knocked her out and that other dude took her? I fail the whole dark urge quest chain?

[@warriorcatsghd6060]

Can you still kill her after Ketheric got killed and she is in your camp?

[@greatestflames9199]

I did it immediately after. Just don't talk to anyone in the throne room close the door and murder her. nobody was even mad even though the merchant saw me do it.

[@Local_commentor]

Isobel and I got into a lil spat a hahaha dark ugre is so funny

[@chrispetersen4863]

Shadowheart's dialogue in response seems off considering the shadows are of Shar's doing... unless of course, she had already spared the one who is part of her quest (trying to not give huge spoilers here) so her, both lamenting over the death of a Selunite cleric and being mad for you letting Shar's shadows do their work seems to be inconsistent writing to me...

[@Tyrantofthewind]

Shar is twisted and capricious by nature, but often does not appreciate the direct approach or being unsubtle. Murdering the cleric and then watching your allies (and resources to fulfilling a larger mission) vanish all on a whim seems very much against her way of doing things. Moreover Shadowheart herself is contradictory, like most actual people, and will often say or act in opposition to their supposed views. This being one example among many.

[@chrispetersen4863]

@@Tyrantofthewind I suppose that's one way to justify it... Considering the MC did it in a room by themselves, without the other party members present, and successfully lied about it (thus keep it a secret... Shar's forte I might add) also makes the reactions of the rest of the party out of place. As an aside, Shar can be VERY straightforward when she needs to be, as several learned during the First Sundering, if I recall my lore correctly.

[@chrispetersen4863]

Also, as I think on it, the method in which Shadowheart and others are tasked with to earn the mantle of Dark Justiciar is about as straightforward as it gets when it comes to the final test. The other tests definitely touched on other more subtle ways and measures, but the final one is as brutal and unsubtle as it gets.

[@MataSanyo]

Sharrans only know as much as they need to know for their purpose, rest is lies. And shadow isnt rly that evil so she disslikes stuff like that. Its all part of her story telling of the kidnapped conflicted kid, woman.And she already has doubts befor that scene, so i think the reaction is written good. If u still dont know.

[@stormyblackheart7286]

I kinda like Isobel but I like my companions more. "We're killing strangers so we don't kill the ones that we love" - Marilyn Manson

[@MrDespresso17]

Do you lose any companions if you do this (aside from potentially Jaheira because obviously), or do you just lose a lot of approval points?

[@TheAfc666]

You don't even need to loose Jaheira. I killed Marcus first, then all the flying monsters and Isobel last (there was still a cutscene where her body is taken by one of those flying ghouls despite all of them being dead). After that, you can flat out tell Jaheira you did it because you love watching people die or you can pass some persuasion checks. You'll get into fight, because everyone in the inn will turn into undead - if you manage to keep Jaheira alive, you can still tell her to meet you in your camp and she'll join you. Alternatively, you can also admit that you wanted to see everyone die. Dark Urge honestly has some amazing dialogue options.

[@RodDJoyboy]

No I just told her worry about our enemies and sent her to the camp

[@XmrcaptainbobX]

Honestly am still deliberating whether to kill Isobel or my companion with my Durge route. , really want the slayer form. Also what would happen if you decide to kill Isobel after freeing Nightsong cause all the Harper's would be attacking moonrise by then, also wonder how it would go for you to give in fully to the dark urge only to reject Baal at the very end.

You can get a moon lantern from either the harper ambush (idk if it works without the harpers) or in a certain room at moonrise. If you’re unable to wander around the map because of the curse, shadowheart is immune to the curse, so you can use her to get the waypoints

[@RecoveringLoLAddict]

The way I did included some thinking outside the box. You can actually complete the entirety of Act 2 without ever stepping inside Last Light Inn, Jaheira even has some unique voicelines in the moonrise towers if you did that. What you have to do is : Find the Drider Patrol somewhere in the map, kill them all and free the pixie in the lantern. She will give you a blessing similar to Selune's blessing that will allow you to explore freely of the curse. That means you can do the entirety of the map content before the abduction (I did it in 1 day, can't confirm if her abduction is a timed event). You can powerlevel you character to lvl 9 or 10 if you clear the entirety of moonrise towers (you can shove guards off the cliffs). I don't recommend skipping the inn though, you get a lot of approval farming in it, plus 2 traders and some quest info. Just don't interact with Isobel, clear the map and cheese the fight with your OP characters (also keep in mind Isobel doesn't need to be reduced to 0 hp for the abduction to occur, the winged horrors have paralysing attacks and if she gets the ailment and an enemy touches her again, you fail the defense).
