Lae’zel is a Githyanki warrior in Baldur’s Gate 3 who fulfills the much-needed role of a ferocious fighter in your party. She has a violent combat style with great strength and an excellent constitution. You can meet Lae’zel straight out of the prologue, and she can be the earliest member of your party. She has been voiced by none other than Devora Wilde.
Although it might seem like she is on a mean streak due to her dialogues, you can eventually gain her approval and romance her. Lae’zel’s focus is only on one thing, which is finding a cure for the mind-flayer tadpole. Due to this common incentive, she can be a great asset.

Once she is at your party, she will ask you to help her look for Zorru, who has information about the cure she has been looking for. You can find Zorru in Druid Grove and then interrogate him.

The Githyanki Creche contains a specialized machine in the Rosymorn Monastery’s basement. This machine is meant to be the cure, and you will have to try it. It will fail, and then you will be led to a boss fight, after which the quest is finished.
