Lae’zel is a companion and an origin character in Baldur’s Gate 3. This fierce githyanki warrior has a questline of her own, which results in various unique endings depending on how you approach various scenarios. La’zel has a lot of endings in BG3, but three of them are most impactful as they decide the future of the whole Githyanki race.
Achieving all possible endings of any character in BG3 is impossible, and the same is true for Lae’zel. You can only choose a couple of endings with save scum, and for this reason, we have listed all the endings so you can make your decision to choose the one you wanted most.
Kill Lae’zel for Bad Endings
You will meet Lae’zel on Nautiloid, and she will help you crash the ship on the beach. Upon travelling towards the Druid Grove, you will notice her being captured by two Tieflings.
If you side with the Tieflings instead of Karlach, she will get hostile. The only way to stop her is by killing her at this point.
Upon reaching Githyanki Creche in the Mountain Pass, you will be confronted by Vlaakith, who will ask you to enter the Artefact and meet her. If you refuse to enter the Astral Plane, Lae’zel will get angry unless you have a high approval rating with her and pass a persuasion check of 12.
This will make her hostile, and you must kill her on the spot. Both of these acts will kill Lae’zel and her companion quest, The Githyanki Warrior, prematurely, resulting in a bad ending for her.
Kill Orpheus and Side with the Emperor
During your first confrontation with the Netherbrain, it will send you to the Astral Plane, where Prince Orpheus is being held. If you decide to kill Orpheus to side with the Emperor, this will make Lae’zel extremely angry, as this is equivalent to betraying the Githyanki people.
Even if you manage to convince Lae’zel to stay with you, she will leave the party once the Elder Brain is defeated at the end. This is also a bad ending, as you will end up losing Lae’zel forever.
Become the Mindflayer Yourself
If you decide to become the Mindflayer near the end of Act 3 instead of Orpheus or Karlach, Orpheus will thank you for the sacrifice.
After you defeat the Netherbrain at the end of Act 3, Orpheus will ask Lae’zel to fly with him on his red dragons to kill the tyrant Vlaakith. If you try to stop Lae’zel, she won’t stay, as she can’t be with a Mindflayer even if you are romancing her.
This ending is a mixed bag in BG3 as it has a good ending for Lae’zel and her people, but a bad ending for the players.
Turn Orpheus or Karlach into a Mindflayer
If you decide to turn Orpheus into a Mindflayer, he will ask Karlach to fight in her stead to defeat Vlaakith. You can kill Orpheus to free him from his form, and Lae’zel will fly away. If you are romancing her, you can ask her to stay, but this will end with her forsaking her people in your favor.
If Lae’zel is still faithful to Vlaakith, she will kill Orpheus herself and fly away to join her queen, Vlaakith. However, if you are playing as a Githyanki, you can join her.
If you use Karlach instead, this will allow Orpheus to live, and he will ask Lae’zel to join her to hunt down Vlaakith. However, you can either stop her or join her if you are romancing her. But in the latter case, you must be a Githyanki to do so.
Evil Endings for Lae’zel
If you decide to go the evil route, you must select Lae’zel as the origin character. This will allow you to select Lae’zel as your main character.
Once you reach the end of Act 3, betray either Orpheus or the Emperor and obtain the Netherstones for yourself. You must pass a constitution check at this point. If you fail the check, you will become a Mindflayer and use your powers to turn everyone with the illithid parasite into a Mindflayer.
However, if you survive the constitution check and resist the control of the Elder Brain, you will get the following options.
- Will all of Baldur’s Gate to perish.
- Command the citizens of Baldur’s Gate to kill each other.
- Conquer the world with the army of the absolute.
- Brainwash the citizens of Baldur’s Gate to work for you. They will rebuild the city unaware of their fates.
All of these options will result in various evil endings for Lae’zel in BG3. However, you will get a new, unique option exclusive to Lae’zel, which was introduced with patch 7.
Lae’zel will use her people and Mindflayer army to attack Vlaakith and kill her to take the reign of the Githyanki people and become their supreme leader. However, in the process, she will end up becoming the person she hated most and using the forbidden powers of Mindflayers for the Githyanki people.
