Complete Companion Guide to Shadowheart | Baldur's Gate 3

Complete Companion Guide to Shadowheart | Baldur's Gate 3

Gather your party and return to the Forgotten Realms in a tale of fellowship and betrayal, sacrifice and survival, and the lure of absolute power. Mysterious abilities are awakening inside you, drawn from a mind flayer parasite planted in your brain. Resist, and turn darkness against itself. Or embrace corruption, and become ultimate evil. From the creators of Divinity: Original Sin 2 comes a next-generation RPG, set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons.

Choose from 12 classes and 11 races from the D&D Player's Handbook and create your own identity, or play as an Origin hero with a hand-crafted background. Or tangle with your inner corruption as the Dark Urge, a fully customisable Origin hero with its own unique mechanics and story. Whoever you choose to be, adventure, loot, battle and romance your way across the Forgotten Realms and beyond. Gather your party. Take the adventure online as a party of up to four.

Abducted, infected, lost. You are turning into a monster, but as the corruption inside you grows, so does your power. That power may help you to survive, but there will be a price to pay, and more than any ability, the bonds of trust that you build within your party could be your greatest strength. Caught in a conflict between devils, deities, and sinister otherworldly forces, you will determine the fate of the Forgotten Realms together.

Send her into the githyanki patrol invisible and get her to cast command drop on their leader Voss. He drops his legendary silver sword of the astral planes which is ludicrously powerful.

Three weeks i’m playing this game and i finally find a youtuber who gives me detail information on the game’s crucial outcomes! Gratitude brother, subscribed!

Would appreciate giving such stacked infos on the good and evil walkthroughs for Paladin and Bard MCs. Also a guide of all individual Acts if possible in regard to which quests to do first and last to move on to the next with outcomes to expect. ❤

[SirCrusher]

An interesting thing that happened to her in my playthrough was she passed a wisdom save in the druid's grove and the wolf didn't frighten her, so I had no dialogue.

[HalFromTartary]

You know you’re playing a game with incredibly well written/acted characters when you look up a guide on builds for a companion NPC, have to scroll past 15 guides on how to romance them, and still end up with a guide that’s 4% build and 96% romance.

Outstanding character writing and acting.

[Croonerr]

hey i just wanna say i love your works. all organized and well prepared also well presantation. thx for the effort

[robhimself]

Turn on my TV and find a 44 minute Shadowheart guide posted...

My man. You are the realest, the driest of all bears.

ACT 1
-freed her from the tube for +10 approval
-say "i wont pry" in the first long talk with her
-start to pry everything after you discovered selune's chest in owlbear cave when shes being sassy about it, as far as night orchid and cant swim thing (must be triggered in act 1 if you care about early romance scene in act3 later on
-try your best to keep the artifact as a secret and just pump those approval
-keep pushing it and when she trust you enough, talk to her and with high approval you will get wine scene
-give her shar's idol from gymforge for +5 approval

ACT 2
-just give her night orchid and support your emo girl
-you can give her the bluestalk (or you can give it in act 1 but if you push her she will eat it with a disapproval but probably the best pic in case you cant trigger the dialogue in act 2)
-ask her to say "feck you shar" with nightsong
-say she still have you after your party escaped justiciar's temple, and say yes when she ask you to be with her

ACT 3
-skinny dip and just save her parents

and no, there wont be dialogue option on she likes night orchid and cant swim in act 2 because its too late if you dont get it in act 1 and it will prevent you from getting some cutscenes and moments even tho she already considered you as a lover, so make sure to push her to say everything in act 1 and max approval you can get

shadowheart isnt the easiest for approval unlike gale or wyll you can just be a generic heroic MC, for SH sometimes if you do good stuffs she wont like it or no approval, and sometimes if you ask for payment or being intimidating to NPCs she will like it

[darinsingleton]

Back in EA, I was always reticent to push Shadowheart to reveal things; but now it seems unlikely that patient decorum will produce any appreciable benefits. So, I will press her more firmly in the future. Unfortunately, I'm a Mac-user, so I will have to wait to try out this new strategy; and will pick up the rest of the video at that point as well. Thanks for the insights, as always.

[Akeladn]

What if the kiss and wine scene happened BEFORE the party with the druids?

[samu]

I made my shadowheart a war cleric, after she tells you she wants to be a warrior for Shaar seems for like a logic in lore thing to do, also war cleric felt strong and badass

[redneckst]

ShadowHeart is in my party and I'm running her as a Cleric, Wizard Sorcerer. She's turning out to be very deadly not to mention that I'm romancing her. I disagree with him about pushing SH to get as much as you can out of her. I've found that doing the opposite works out better in your favor.

[stratuvarious]

It's funny, I didn't even think about the persuasion as being challenging, as Charisma is my main stat and I'm proficient with Persuasion. Go Sorcerer!

[noamto]

2:00 The Everburn blade isn't a +1 greatsword though, it's just a magical greatsword without and enhancement.

[enderskunk]

actually you do get the option to run off together if you became a mind flayer

[OLC]

You do this type of video with Karlath and it’ll blow up

[dave_by_day]

29:43 I'm at this exact moment except it's bugged. Saved Nightsong, talked to Shadowheart afterward, I'm in that exact camp with that weird tree in the background except Nightsong is nowhere. I've been in act 3 for 20 hours and still no Nightsong.

[ThAnonimus]

Man you're good! Thanks for the upload.
I've just watched it only until the point where I am in the game to avoid spoilers.

[adiuro]

In the under dark that special mushroom (same place where you rescue the befuddled dwarf) cures her wolf bite if you give it to her and convince her to eat it.

[WeavyBoo]

So when does the skinny dip thing happen in act 3? I went minthara in act 1 bc when i smacked up the tieflings, shadowheart got so drunk already she didnt want to sit and chat, so i went minthara. I went selune, i comimented her hair, even at the carnival i picked her for the love thing. I HAVE COMPLETED HER QUEST, amd still nothing. Boys is it over or is there hope?

[SpaceySigh]

I am on my first playthrough and I switched the artifact into my inventory. I somewhat regretted it because I wanted to see her in those cutscenes. It wouldn't let me give it back lol
