Summary
Oh, Alfira. It’s impossible not to fall in love with this delightful bard when you first meet her early on inBaldur’s Gate 3. However, if you’re playing as The Dark Urge, you won’t want her to get too close to you.
Spoilers for The Dark Urge run of Baldur’s Gate 3 ahead.
For some reason, Alfira decides that The Dark Urge is a very trustworthy and safe person to hang around, and will join your camp in Act 1. She doesn’t last long at all though, and gets slaughtered by the player as soon as you long rest.There is a way to save her, but it’s a bit annoying to set up and involves attacking her completely unprompted when you first meet her. So, a modder has made it a lot easier for everyone.
Keep Alfira Alive In Your Dark Urge Playthroughs With This Baldur’s Gate 3 Mod
Save Alfirafrom Nexus Mods user TLG53787 does exactly that. It stops Alfira from ever turning up at your camp, meaning she avoids The Dark Urge’s wrath. However, someone has to die still, so it instead spawns in the bard Quil Grootslang, a backup character who turns up in the base game if Alfira is either killed already or knocked out.
You’ll still have the blood of an innocent on your hands, and your campmates will still interrogate you over it the following morning, but at least you can take comfort in the knowledge that Alfira is out there, playing her music in peace.
That said, killing Alfira is always a great way to kick off a truly evil Dark Urge run. And there’s never been a better time to do one, asthe latest patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 added new evil endings for everyone. Unsurprisingly, the new Dark Urge ending is absolutely brutal,especially if you take your love interest with youto see you drown the world in blood.
