Before reaching the narrative ending of ''Baldur's Gate 3'', players can possibly 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 had 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 explode the orb, which 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.
* [[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.
