About this mod

This mod updates Karlach's final scene on the docks so that Wyll, if he became the Blade of Avernus, will accompany Karlach to the Hells with or without the main character's presence.

Re: Patch 8
2025/04/17 - Patch 8 hasn't made story updates to Karlach's scene on the docks, so you will still need this mod if your player character can't be there on the docks with her. This mod is Patch 8 compatible.

Patch 8 did include this update for Karlach's scene:

  • Adjusted some camera shots to better suit shorter races in Karlach's final scene on the pier.

You will likely still get Patch 7 camera angles with my mod if playing a short race, but I haven't had a chance to test this yet.


About

If your character isn't next to Karlach on the docks, she automatically dies even if Wyll became the Blade of Avernus. This can even happen in a multiplayer game if the player chosen for the scene is not available.

This mod updates the docks scene so that the Blade of Avernus will accompany Karlach to the Hells in the player's absence. It is still a work in progress; I want this to be more polished, with better cinematography, but uploading it for anyone who wants to save Karlach no matter what. 

This mod works by overriding the scene where Karlach automatically dies on the docks. If you are funneled into this scene for whatever reason (i.e. the character chosen is unavailable because they've flown off on a dragon, run away, killed themselves, etc.), the mod first checks if Wyll is Blade of Avernus. If so, he'll speak up and take her to the Hells. If not, the scene proceeds as normal. If the character chosen for Karlach's scene is alive and available, nothing changes.


Compatibility

This mod overrides the following files:

\Data\Mods\GustavDev\Story\DialogsBinary\Act3\EndGame\END_GameFinale_DeathofKarlach.lsf
\Data\Public\GustavDev\Timeline\Generated\END_GameFinale_DeathofKarlach.lsf

It will conflict with any mods that override the same files.


Installation

I've included .pak version and loose files. Install only one.

.Pak file
Install with bg mod manager

Loose files
Unzip the file and move its contents into your BG3 Data file:

\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data\

This mod should be safe to install/uninstall mid-playthrough. To uninstall, delete the file.

Known issues

  • Origin Wyll players: I don't recommend enabling this mod if you intend to fly off with Lae'zel. Working on a fix, but atm this mod will glitch your ending.
  • Cinematography and camera angles could be better in a few shots.
