To free Shadowheart from the pod in Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of the first missions and despite Lae’zel’s advice to leave her alone, it’s logical that you’d want to do so. If nothing else.
It means gaining a party member a bit earlier than usual, which isn’t too difficult. We’ll go through how to rescue Shadowheart from the Nautiloid pod in Baldur’s Gate 3 below, as well as the ramifications of doing so.
How to Free Shadowheart in Baldur’s Gate 3
Players seeking to release Shadowheart in Baldur’s Gate 3 should begin by entering the door on the east side of the room where she is imprisoned.
When players reach the chamber beyond that door, they should proceed to the east end and interact with the Dead Thrall on the ground. This body contains an Elaborate Key, which should be taken and returned to Shadowheart’s chamber.
There is an Elaborate Reliquary box in the southeast corner of the chamber with Shadowheart that may be opened with the newly gained Elaborate Key. Players will discover an Eldritch Rune within this container.
Which may be used to activate the console to the right of Shadowheart’s pod. Once the console “hums to life,” Baldur’s Gate 3 fans should choose to lay their hands on it, which will result in the elf woman’s liberation.
It should be noted that some classes in Baldur’s Gate 3 can liberate Shadowheart without ever getting the Elaborate Key or the Eldritch Rune. Finally, players who do not liberate Shadowheart from her pod will still come across her later in the game. In actuality, the confrontation occurs very soon after the prologue ends, and letting her to die would not prevent her from joining the party in BG3.
What happens if you don’t rescue Shadowheart?
Shadowheart will perish if you do not save her as she will be slain by either the Mindflayers or the tadpole developing inside her. If you wish to take Shadowheart as a friend, you must first rescue her from the Mindflayer pod.
So that’s how to free Shadowheart in Baldur’s Gate 3 as I’ll see you in the next guide.
