Baldur's Gate 3 is a treasure trove of secrets, with Larian Studios gradually unveiling more about their acclaimed game. Dataminers have been instrumental in uncovering these hidden gems, including a particularly intriguing evil ending.
This dark conclusion was initially discovered by dataminers and has resurfaced during the testing phase of the game's eighth major patch. In this ending, the protagonist can eliminate the illithid parasite by forcefully extracting and destroying it, all without suffering any harm. Following this dramatic act, the story branches: the hero and their companions can either depart together, or the hero can choose to leave the companions behind.
The gaming community eagerly anticipates the release of the eighth patch, expecting that it will fully integrate this sinister ending into Baldur's Gate 3, enriching the game's narrative choices and player experiences.
