If a Long Rest is performed after arriving in the Shadow-Cursed Lands, the Dream Guardian will appear to the player character once again in a dream, wearing their camp clothing (a [[Mellow Fruit Dye|Mellow Fruit]]-dyed {{SmRarityItem|Elegant Robe}}) rather than their usual armour. The Dream Guardian shares that being in such close proximity to the [[Absolute]] is taking a toll on them, and the player character is given a number of different responses for how to react to that. More choices are unlocked with the right dialogue options, and by succeeding automatic dice checks that the player character cannot modify. | |||

After defeating {{CharLink|Ketheric Thorm}}, and the {{CharLink|Apostle of Myrkul}}, the Dream Guardian will appear to manifest outside of the player character's dreams, congratulating them, but urging them to travel to [[Baldur's Gate]] to finally destroy the [[Elder Brain]] that is behind the Cult of the Absolute, as well as the rest of the Chosen of the [[Dead Three]], {{CharLink|Orin|Orin the Red}} and {{CharLink|Enver Gortash}}. | After defeating {{CharLink|Ketheric Thorm}}, and the {{CharLink|Apostle of Myrkul}}, the Dream Guardian will appear to manifest outside of the player character's dreams, congratulating them, but urging them to travel to [[Baldur's Gate]] to finally destroy the [[Elder Brain]] that is behind the Cult of the Absolute, as well as the rest of the Chosen of the [[Dead Three]], {{CharLink|Orin|Orin the Red}} and {{CharLink|Enver Gortash}}. | ||

In the Full Release the Guardian is supportive of the player character regardless of their decisions, encouraging the destruction of the Absolute while also utilising the strength of the tadpole. However, Larian appeared to have a very different story in mind for the Guardian initially because their presentation, behavior, and actions were more hostile and manipulative throughout the Early Access content. | In the Full Release the Guardian is supportive of the player character regardless of their decisions, encouraging the destruction of the Absolute while also utilising the strength of the tadpole.

The Dream Visitor would eventually attempt to seduce the player character, and this storyline was bolstered suggestions during the Guardian's character creation guiding you to create someone you are attracted to. The song '''''Down by the River''''' from the game's [[Baldur's Gate 3 - Original Soundtrack|Original Soundtrack]] was likely related to these interactions as the dreams took place by a river and the song's lyrics ask the player character to stay there in the dream with them forever (''Don't wake me up, Just leave me there dreaming''). | The Dream Visitor would eventually attempt to seduce the player character, and this storyline was bolstered suggestions during the Guardian's character creation guiding you to create someone you are attracted to.
