Romancing Karlach in Baldur's Gate 3
Romancing Karlach is one of the most rewarding experiences in Baldur's Gate 3, known for her passionate heart and fiery personality. However, it requires attention to her specific needs and values. Here's a breakdown:
Key Approval Factors
-
Kindness and Compassion: Karlach strongly approves of acts of kindness, helping those in need, and standing up for the oppressed. Choosing the heroic option in dialogues, especially when it involves protecting the vulnerable, is a surefire way to gain her favor.
-
Honesty and Forthrightness: Deception and manipulation will generally lower her approval. Be honest with her and others.
-
Fighting for the Underdog: Karlach has a strong sense of justice. Supporting those who are downtrodden or unfairly treated, even if it means going against authority, will earn you significant points.
-
Physical Affection (Post-Engine Fix): Initially, touching Karlach is dangerous due to her infernal engine. Once you start fixing it with Dammon's help, she'll appreciate physical affection and playful interactions.
Act 1: Initial Interactions
- Recruitment: Find Karlach near the Risen Road. Siding with her against the Paladins of Tyr is crucial.
- Infernal Iron: Finding Infernal Iron and giving it to Dammon at the Emerald Grove or later at the Last Light Inn is essential for starting the romance. Repairing her engine cools her down, allowing for physical contact.
- First Kiss: Once Dammon fixes her engine the first time and she's cooled down enough, you'll get a chance to have a "hot" (literally) kiss. Select dialogue options that express your genuine attraction and desire to be close to her.
Act 2: Deepening the Relationship
- Further Engine Upgrades: Continue finding Infernal Iron for Dammon to further improve Karlach's condition.
- Romance Scene: A more intimate romance scene will trigger after progressing her personal quest and achieving a high enough approval. This generally involves sharing vulnerable moments and expressing your feelings.
- Last Light Inn: Protecting Last Light Inn and its inhabitants from the shadow curse will greatly impress her.
Act 3: Commitment and Beyond
- Final Engine Solution: By Act 3, finding a permanent solution to Karlach's engine problem becomes paramount. This may involve venturing to Avernus.
- Commitment: If you successfully navigate her personal quest and maintain high approval, you'll have the opportunity to fully commit to a relationship with Karlach.
- Endings: Karlach's ending is heavily tied to the fate of her engine. Depending on your choices, you can either find a way for her to survive on the Material Plane or join her in Avernus.
Important Considerations
- Approval is Key: Consistently making choices that align with Karlach's values is the most crucial aspect of romancing her.
- Patience: The romance progresses gradually as you address her engine problems.
- Don't Be Afraid to Show Affection: Once her engine is being fixed, show your attraction to her.
- Be Supportive: Karlach carries a lot of trauma. Be a supportive and understanding partner.
