Slayer is a unique form that especially dedicated Bhaalspawn may assume in Baldur's Gate 3.

My Chosen. My Slayer. Violence incarnate. You will become a testament in blood.
— Bhaal awarding a dedicated Bhaalspawn for their unwavering favor.

Violence incarnate

The Slayer form is a powerful ability granted to the most dedicated follower of Bhaal. It usually appears as a form Orin the Red takes during her boss battle, and functions very similarly to Wild Shape or being Polymorphed. The user of the form takes on all the statistics of the Slayer, and all of their actions are replaced by the Slayer's own. With a powerful multiattack, a distance-closing leap, a devastating single attack, as well as an action that can inflict bleeding, the Slayer is an especially powerful form allowing the user to tear through their enemies with ease.

Background HauntedOne Icon.png Spoiler warning! This section reveals interactions with The Dark Urge.

It is possible for The Dark Urge to obtain this form during Act 2 by either killing Isobel, their lover, or the companion with the highest approval toward them. Alternatively, they can obtain this form during Act 3 by defeating Orin and accepting to become Bhaal's Chosen.

If they had already acquired the Slayer form before Act 3, The Dark Urge will be given the option to transform into it during their dialogue with Orin before their duel, in which case she will fight against them in her standard humanoid form. Conversely, access to the Slayer form will be permanently lost if The Dark Urge refuses to become Bhaal's Chosen after defeating Orin.

Concentration Icons.png Spoiler warning! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

A few characters within the history of Baldur's Gate have gained the ability to use the form of the Slayer.

Previous appearances

The Slayer Form is a returning ability present in Baldur's Gate 2. It first appeared in Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn as an ability granted midway through the game.

The Slayer is only one of three avatars of Bhaal: a shapeshifting one called Kazgoroth, a human-sized one named the Slayer, and a giant named the Ravager. While only the Slayer appears within Baldur's Gate 3, the Ravager appears in Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal as the protagonist's "taint" due to being a Bhaalspawn, while Kazgoroth is a separate creature, described as either a minion or Avatar of Bhaal in some circumstances.
