Shadowfell: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 23:52, 2 June 2024

The Shadowfell is a plane of shadows and claimed as the domain of Shar. It is a location that can be visited through the Gauntlet of Shar in Act Two. Similar to the Astral Plane, gravity is weaker than on the material plane and it is easily possible to jump great distances through the shattered terrain.

Overview

The main feature of the Shadowfell in Baldur's Gate 3 is Nightsong's Prison at the very bottom of the path. See Find the Nightsong for a detailed breakdown of the interaction that follows. Regardless of the outcome, taking the portal to the Shadowfell is a point of no return and will lock the party out of several quests and locations. After the Shadowfell the party must confront Ketheric Thorm at Moonrise Towers.

-Gravity is lighter here than back on the material plane and as such you can jump a lot further without taking damage.

-Jump downwards to reach the [[Dame Aylin|Nightsong]]. This may take some moving of the camera to find the next area you can jump to.
-A cutscene will play and you get to decide whether [[Shadowheart]] will walk the path of light or darkness as the culmination of [[The Chosen of Shar]]. Kill the Nightsong to walk the path of Shar (and gain [[Shar's Spear of Evening]]) or turn from Shar and gain a powerful ally (and access to [[Selûne's Spear of Night]] later in the game).
-If you free the Nightsong you will get an epic cutscene and the [[Moonlight Glaive]].
-Either way it's time to go confront [[Ketheric Thorm]] at [[Moonrise Towers]]. If Shadowheart has turned to the light she will have a crisis of faith.
