a bardadin, a berserker and a sword-lock walked into avernus. Zariel: .... why do i hear boss music? Asmodeus: i aint helping you with this one *grabs mountain sized pot of popcorn*
@@davidperte62 it synergises surprisingly well. can wear the heaviest shit, dual wield (Phalur aluve is fcking busted) and with swords bard the flourishes with smites on them hit fcking HARD. not to mention the large amount of spell slots for smiting and charisma being both their spell stats. i considered paladin warlock but felt bard fit a follower of eilistraee drow woman better.
"Better let these fuckers know I'm back. And this time, I'm not alone." Thank you Larian for feeding us lots for adding this scene...it was spectacular 🥹
I didn’t even romance Karlach, but I couldn’t allow her to go back alone. She’s adorable, wears her heart on her sleeve, and morally, is the best person in my party(Aside from Wyll). So the three of us went into Avernus, together, because as a friend, I wouldn’t want my best friend to go into hell alone.
@@sale5315 Same for my character. But I found that end rather fitting for the two of them. I couldn't leave Karlach and Wyll down there alone. Though him and Shadowheart are apart they will see each other again. Each of them fighting every day just to see the one they love again. I find it a rather bittersweet ending for the two.
@@andreiriboliIgnoring the fact that Wyll have respeced into Fighter in best case ? Like dude lost his warlock powers, i dont expect him being TOO useful in Avernus And also do you really want to live Karlach of all people to her fate ? She been through enough shit already and if this trip to Avernus should be last one for her, then i want to make sure she gets out of this alive
@@skell6134 Except you're ignoring the fact that in the epilogue they're both alive and well? Karlach is a Barbarian and had already been surviving in Avernus on her own for a long time, and now she has Wyll - who I'd like to remind you isn't useless in combat, and was already a skilled fighter (not the class) even before making the pact with Mizora - she is fine. Besides, Shadowheart needed support just as much, since she had decided to honor her parents' wishes and let them go. The difference is: besides my character, she would have no one to support her.
I got the Gith Rebellion ending AND Karlach's Doomskayer ending at the same time. IT WAS GLORIOUS! My gf's character sacrificed himself, becoming an illithid after romancing Lae'zel, and she still loved him and invited him to the rebellion. My character tried unsuccessfully to romance Karlach, but we became good enough friends where my dwarf followed her into the Hells 💀💀
i highly reccomend to reload save to before you missed the opportunity to romance her, (at the moment of current patch 6 its bugged and you need to start it in act1 exactly at the Tiefling party after saving the grove, in earlier patches it was possible to start romance before or after the celebration, hopefully it will be fixed). The cinematics, dialogues and mornings following the romance especially in in Act2 & 3 are really tender and heartbraking, you will learn more about her Avernus backstory and your heart will totally melt off
I was happy with this ending. Was worried I was going to lose Karlach for good. But then Wyll suggest going back to Avernus with him by her side. My character romanced Shadowheart but also made a promise to Karlach to find a cure no matter what. And I couldn't just leave those 2 alone down there. So I find it a bittersweet romance. Shadowheart is in the Sword Coast fighting back against Shar. And in Avernus my character is fighting to live every day in order to see her once again. Giving me Pirates At World's End vibes which I like. Obviously their reunion during the epilogue was nice so I got to cement that in my mind. Down in Avernus the 3 of us, Dragonborn Ranger, Karlach, and Wyll causing all sorts of chaos in the hells. Not the ending I set out, but one I feel is appropriate. On to the next adventure.
romanced her first playthrough and now she has such a special place in my heart. sat there with tears in my eyes first out of pain and then joy in post battle cutscene to the epilogue 🥹
This, alongside the ending where you jump on a fricking Red Dragon with Lae’zel and fly off into the Astral to go kick Vlakitth’s ass are easily the two best endings in the game and could both be DLC that write themselves
I literally almost fell out of my chair when the metal started playing and karlach went doomslayer on them imps i hope to see karlach's story continued, hope she makes it to that forge in avernus to get her engine repaired.
Larian is the only game studio for which I would drop down on my knees, beg and offer anything they want just so precious Karlach could get her heart fixed and stay with us. I don't care if you have to do some horrible shit, or do something literally impossible like saving all the Gondians. I just want her to have a chance to stay home, go adventuring with Tav or anyone else, far away from the accursed hells.
This was the ending I got on my very first playthrough. Even though my Tav had romanced Gale and kinda broke his heart by leaving him so suddenly, this ending was still so awesome! Especially since Wyll joined them in Avernus. I love when Karlach ran at the imps while screaming in slow motion with Tav and Wyll running after her with the badass music in the background.
They need to make a dlc where if you save Karlach, you get the old gang back together to go to avernus for that thing she mentioned during the epilogue
Don't forget adding the 🍒 on the 🍦 to 🔝 it all, have Zariel serve as the main villain & final boss where you could finally give her a satisfying swift 🔚 from your ⚔️.
@@gavincarothers595 that honestly sounds perfect! Giving Karlach the complete revenge that she deserves and then she can come back to the material plane forever!
It's incredible how the musical notes dance showing the situation you find yourself in, the acceptance, the expectation, the hopelessness of a battle until its sad end in Avernus, it's a possible goodbye of lovers, it's finally the high point, you can see zariel crying under the bed
Dude, this is one of the best endings I've seen in a videogame... Reminds me of Planescape: Torment (1999) a lot. So bittersweet... Yet hopeful, thanks to the Epilogue 🥹🙏🏻❤️
Can you imagine if there was a baldur's gate 4 set some years after bg3 events. Karlach and the main character show up as companions in avernus. This theme plays.
I just wish your romanced companion could come with you as well. It's weird to leave Shadowheart behind and fuck off to the hells with Karlach and Wyll. But then again, I guess someone who just recovered her freedom from a cult wouldn't be too kin into exiling herself to Avernus.
@@Mediados Y’know what else she literally says? That she doesn’t want to die. Yeah she prefers death to going back to avernus, but she doesn’t want to die either. I tried to correct your comment because it made it sound like she was eagerly awaiting her death the whole game.
@@thatguythere6161I think it's appropriate to assume she meant going back to Avernus ALONE when saying all of that(especially since it's quite literally said before you/Wyll let her know you wyll go there too) Otherwise she must be happy to reenact Doom with her friends
I messed up the romance route, but at the end, Me and Wyll both went with Karlach to Avernus. and I can picture the 3 of us forming a sibling like bond throughout the adventure and the 6 month time skip
I romanced Ascended Astarion and then went to hell with Karlach and Wyll before he could tell me that I could never leave him, so during the epilogue it feels like he's really pissed at me while I'm over there, still a vampire spawn (his spawn), and I'm telling everyone how I'm kicking a ton of ass in hell, then I finally go talk to him after everyone else and gives me that creepy "see you later...darling" mega oof lol what evil schemes must he be plotting? is he planning to abduct me or something? The AA dlc shall be called 'the runaway bride' lmfaooo
So I finally finished BG3. I rejected and conquered the urge. Romanced shadowheart helped her free her parents, helped Wyll get free of his curse and helped Karlach accept the beauty of life and its impermanence. Together the three of us journed to avernus and I love the open endedness of it karlach’s gonna get better for real, I’ll keep my promise to shadowheart and return to her. A peaceful life for all the characters in the campaign except for Gale he died. And honestly I like it better than him becoming a god. Him accepting his own limitations and choosing love over power its a beautiful end to his story I feel like his sacrifice shows that he truly learns there's something better than his own desires something truly worth dying for. Plus I'm a writer at heart and bittersweet endings are my bread and butter also his sacrifice was like thbiggest chekovs gun ever I needed that itch scratched so as much as I loved the character killing him off made sense for that playthrough.
80s action movie ending was not what I envisioned for the ending of this romance but after spending all game terrified she was going to die at the end, I'll take it
This was so fucking badass I'm so glad I decided to tough it out for 10ish playthroughs to get this ending, felt so fucking good to see karlach in the epilogue
I feel so bad for letting her die duribg my first playthrough, cause i thought it was best for her since she wished to rather die free then go back to avernus😢
a bardadin, a berserker and a sword-lock walked into avernus.

@@godsplayingfield yeah makes sense, usually people go for either warlock for pact weapon or sorcerer for more slots to smite with
Tav: Knock knock!
Zariel: Who's there?
Tav: Some!
Zariel: Some who?
Tav: SomeBODY ONCE TOLD ME-
To become Doomslayers with Karlach has to be one of if not the best ending in the game
I’m so glad I went to Avernus with Karlach cuz as the scene finished it literally reminded me of Doom. Such an amazing game
Me and the wife fighting the hordes of hell together (6 months and going strong)
It's even better if you have Wyll who's got yours and Karlach's back as 3rd Wheel by your side.
Why? Together you can fix her in hell after 6 months.
Zariel won’t know what hit her.
"Better let these fuckers know I'm back. And this time, I'm not alone." Thank you Larian for feeding us lots for adding this scene...it was spectacular 🥹
Best line since: "in a world without gold we might have been heroes"
Yeah... I loved this scene and that line.
@@operationawesome8662 wow, thanks for reminding me of this line. Awesome moment
"Remember soldier...you asked for this."
Rip and tear with Karlach in hell. I know damn well what I signed up for.
But she never asked for this... Adam Jensen style xD
Really wish I had the option to say “wouldn’t have it any other way”
Chuckles..., "Yeah, I did babe, yeah I did."
And I'll do it every damn time without hesitation.

Listening to this at like 6 am after playing through the night to finish the game will be unforgettable
I’m so happy they added the epilogue that all but confirms her engine can be fixed. We can give best girl Karlach the happy ending she deserves!
All I can say is, Fuck Yeah Soldier!
Karlach is best girl and nothing shart fans say can change that.
Laezel wins.
She's easily the top fan favorite face being the mascot in Baldur's Gate 3 out of all the main cast, apart from
Astarion, Shadowheart or Gale
"Exactly, Bing Bong!"

yea..... and now when i hear certain osts all i can see is her pretty blue eyes ;-; YOURE GOING TO BE FINE KARLACH 😭
We're going to rip and tear, soldier. UNTIL IT IS DONE.
Absolutely couldn't bring myself to let her die. Couldn't have asked for a more metal ending.
"Better let these fuckers know im back. And this time, im not alone."
"And remember Soldier.... you asked for this."

Idk, marrying Gale is a pretty freaking amazing ending
I am sorry, but Shadowheart romance cannot be beaten - it is the only way how to meet bing bong
@@coolfish420 It's because you're not a Gith! You wouldn't survive the astral plane and she doesn't want you hurt!
My first playthrough this was my ending. I'd pay good money to have a DLC where me Karlach and Wyll rampage through the Hells.
I literally almost fell out of my chair when the metal started playing and karlach went doomslayer on them imps
i hope to see karlach's story continued, hope she makes it to that forge in avernus to get her engine repaired.
It was this and Raphael's song that took me by total surprise. What and epic moment and song to go with it.
I laughed so hard when Karlach lit a fat blunt with her fingertips, unforgettable
The Power is Karlach's personal theme song, and I refuse to believe otherwise
isn't it "I want to live"
@@SpaceElvisInc I Want To Live is the theme of the entire party.
@@SpaceElvisInc more like astarion's
@@CryoNya Nah, Borislav Slavov (the composer) said "I Want To Live" is the player's theme. He wrote it for the players

This is objectively the best and most epic scene in the entire game. Only thing that comes close is Raphael’s final act

Well if they do it for her then they’re gonna have to do it for Lae’zel too with Vlakkith.

Playing as Karlach and Romancing Minthara was a trip >.>
Oh wow, thats a unique path. The story of a broken drow being inspired by the passionate blaze is preety cool
Imagine if we had an Avernus DLC with Karlach. OH BOY!
More like "The Power Metal," amirite?

romancing Karlach as redeemed Durge made this hit WAAAAAY harder than it already did
This music closing out my honour mode run will stick with me for years to come, such a fucking amazing game and Karlach is best girl
I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS THIS WHOLE TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best thing about this ending was that despite Karlach wanting to die the entire campaign, we do eventually find a cure.
You get to have your cake and eat it too!

What a great piece of artwork, it almost looks like a champion card if Karlach was announced as a League of Legends hero 🤣
Indeed it’s a mtg card image of karlach

WE'RE MAKING IT THROUGH AVERNIS WITH THIS ONE
I romanced Gale one play through and there was no way in the world I was letting my bestie walk back into Avernus alone...so Wyll and I went with her
Its still hard to not hear "what ive donnnnne" at the drop.
There’s an edit of it out there if you want I can get the link for it
