Shadowheart can be convinced to spare Aylin in several ways. If the party does nothing and lets Shadowheart decide fully on her own, she chooses to throw the spear into the depths of the Shadowfell. However, she can also be persuaded by a difficult Persuasion check (DC 30), or by giving her the choice on her own and then passing a second, less difficult check. Another humorous method is to ensure the Spear of Night is not with the party when the time comes.

After defeating Thorm, Shadowheart must confront her cloister. Dark Justiciar Shadowheart is commanded to clear out the corruption of the cloister by Shar. Enemy of Shar Shadowheart is told by Aylin that her parents were kidnapped by the Sharran cultists and are still alive, held captive in the cloister. Either way, she must confront her former 'family.'

When Shadowheart arrives in Baldur's Gate, she says that her peers are no doubt watching her. She can find [[Ferg Drogher]] {{coords|45|-98}} in [[Rivington]] near the [[Requisitioned Barn]]. He calls out to the party as they get closer to him, if Shadowheart is in the party. He explains that the Sharrans are in the [[House of Grief]] in the [[Lower City]], starting [[Investigate the House of Grief]]. If the party enters the House of Grief with Shadowheart in the party, she is immediately led further in by [[Mirie]]. From here, either she or the player character can undergo the Mapping of the Heart by an Inquirer of Grief. After the Mapping, the Inquirer reveals themselves to be none other than the Mother Superior herself, [[Viconia DeVir]]. She bids the party to come down further, into the [[Cloister of Sombre Embrace]].

Deep in the heart of the Cloister is Viconia, with a group of Sharran cultists. She explains that she knows the party has the artifact in their possession and that she needs it to destroy the Absolute. Viconia initially attempts to negotiate in a way which keeps blades sheathed:

If Dark Justiciar Shadowheart is given the choice to make on her own, without any persuading from the party, she says all she has left to do is to follow orders and kills her parents. As a 'blessing,' Shar removes her memories again, leaving Shadowheart ready to lead the cloister.

If Shadowheart has followed the path of Selûne through her quest, her [[Arnell Hallowleaf|father]] tells her that she cannot both free her parents and free herself from Shar's curse. He asks her to free herself from the curse. If given the choice to make on her own, without any persuading from the party, Shadowheart's choice depends on whether three memories have been triggered during her time in the city. If they have not triggered, she chooses to put her parents to rest, transforming them into moon motes -- if the memories have triggered she rescues them instead.{{note|To have Shadowheart rescue her parents if left to choose on her own, requires the player character to trigger three memory-related conversations with her throughout the lower city. One is the gravestone of Allister Marnley in the Graveyard, another is a graffiti drawing tucked behind a billboard near the Baldur's Gate waypoint. The third memory, discussing the city smells, randomly triggers after finding these two.}}
