Before reaching the narrative ending of ''Baldur's Gate 3'', it is sometimes possible for players to encounter a Game Over screen as the result of a conversation option or failed condition during a combat encounter. Reaching a Game Over will not offer scenes or conversations that conclude the overall story of the campaign, but will instead cause a screen to appear that prompts the player to reload from a prior save.

Narrative endings that conclude the story through the final quest, [[Confront the Elder Brain]], can be found in [[Endings]].

== List of Game Over screens ==
''Note'': Some game-over triggers may not fire during co-op gameplay. Keep in mind that this information is not always accessible for a single contributor to confirm.

=== Ceremorphosis ===
Fail to prevent your own ceremorphosis, or do something that causes you to lose what protection you ''did'' have against it. There is more than one opportunity for this to happen.

=== Gale ===
When [[Gale|Gale of Waterdeep]] is recruited as a Companion or played as an Origin, a ''large number'' of unique triggers for Game Over screens become available surrounding the explosion of his Netherese Orb.
* Fail to prevent the Orb from exploding after becoming aware of its existence.

===Prologue===
* Fail to reach the transponder within the 15 allotted turns (without dying in combat).{{Verify}}

===Act One===
* [[In Case of Death...]] - Triggered by failing to complete this quest within ''three'' long rests of when it is started.
* [[Crèche Y'llek]] (multiple intersecting quests) - Triggered during conversation with [[Vlaakith]], by selecting conversation options that convince her to "prove her godhood" to the party.
* [[Find the Blood of Lathander]] - Triggered by attempting to take 'the blood' by "using force" and failing to escape or stop the big trap from firing before the turn counter runs out.

===Act Two===
* Use the ability to use the orb and explode that finally becomes available to [[Gale]] as early as the start of Act Two. (See above for additional cases)
* [[The Blade of Frontiers]] - Only if [[Wyll|Wyll Ravengard]] is played as an Origin. In the [[Mind Flayer Colony]], triggered by choosing to kill [[Mizora]] in the pod she's held in.

===Act Three===
* [[Help Your Protector]] - Triggered in combat, if your 'protector' ends up hitting zero hit points.
* [[Fulfill the Deal]] - Triggered in conversation if the player first causes [[The Emperor]] to abandon the party, then refuse to sign [[Raphael]]'s deal -- assuming the party does not already possess the Orphic Hammer.
* [[House of Hope]] - Triggered during conversation with [[Haarlep]], by selecting conversation options that result in you "giving up" both your mind ''and'' your body.
* [[Iron Throne]] - Triggered if the player fails to escape the area before the turn counter expires.
* [[Confront the Elder Brain]] (multiple):
** Triggered if the player fails to finish casting a specific spell before the turn counter expires.
