Camp Events

During Baldur's Gate 3, many story related events happen at the Campsite. These are almost always triggered upon doing a Long Rest, but some of them automatically happen upon reaching certain triggers. Sometimes, several events can be queued if all of their requirements are met. Below is a list of these events and their requirements, if there are any.

Act I

This event happens during one of your earlier Long Rests. You see Astarion sneaking away from camp while the party is asleep.

Astarion tries to bite the player

Requirements: None

The player character suddenly wakes up and catches Astarion trying to bite them. Here, it is revealed Astarion is a vampire spawn. The player can then decide wether to let Astarion bite them, kill him or banish him from the camp. There is bonus dialogue if the player has spotted a boar Astarion previously drained in the Wilderness.

Astarion and the player have sex

Requirements: Accept Astarion's proposal to have sex with him when he offers it.

First, you appear to be very sick. Lae'zel threatens to kill you, as she thinks you and everyone else are transforming into Mindflayers. After talking her down, you go to sleep. During your dreams, you are visited by the Dream Guardian, who vows to protect you and suggests you consume additional Mindflayer tadpoles to unlock new powers. After this event, the player is able to unlock Ilithid Powers.

Goblin party

Requirements: Complete Raid the Emerald Grove, while siding with Minthara and the Goblins. Then talk to Minthara to initiate the party.

The Goblins appear at camp and throw a party. This event also allows the player to initiate romantic encounters with the companions at a much lover approval rate compared to otherwise. This event is also the only time a sexual encounter with Minthara can be triggered.

Karlach and the player try to romantically connect.

Requirements: Tell Karlach you really like her at Medium Approval.

Karlach visits the player at night and has a romantic talk with them. This event potentially starts a romance with Karlach.

Mizora appears at the campsite to deal with Wyll. If Karlach is invited to the party, Wyll is turned into a devil as punishment for failure to uphold his contract. If Karlach was killed, Wyll is rewarded with the Infernal Robe instead. After this, more dialogue options for Wyll are unlocked.

Owlbear Cub first appearance

Requirements: First deal with the Owlbear mother however you like. Then, find the Owlbear Cub at the Goblin Camp, free it from the Goblins and invite it to your campsite.

The Owlbear cub visits you at night and asks for some food. If you give some food to it, one of you companions will scare it away. You can also scare it away yourself, which prevents it from appearing in the future. The encounters has different options if you have Speak with Animals active.

Owlbear Cub second appearance.

Requirements: Offer some food to the Cub during its first appearance.

The Owlbear Cub returns and is wounded on one of its legs. You must succeed a skill check to heal him. If you succeed, the Cub becomes a permanent Camp Follower. Like the previous event, the options differ when Speak with Animals is active.

Wyll appears at camp and threatens Karlach

Requirements: Recruit Karlach to the party before recruiting Wyll.

Wyll appears at the campsite and threatens Karlach. This conversation plays out similarly to when you take him to Karlach yourself. He can therefore be easily convinced Karlach is no devil and be invited as a companion. The player can also decide to kill him or Karlach instead.

Act I Origin specific events

Dark Urge

Alfira visits camp and is killed by Dark Urge

Requirements: none

Alfira appears after initiating a Long Rest. Her dialogue depends on how you treated her, if you encountered her before. No matter the outcome of the dialogue, she stays the night at the Campsite, but is killed by the Dark Urge while they were asleep. The Dark Urge then has to either hide the body (DC 12 stealth strength check) or convince their companions they were innocent. The difficulty class for the persuasion check varies depending on whether or not you cleaned the blood off and depending on which options you choose. You may also attempt to blame Astarion if you know he is a vampire. Doing so causes him to lose approval. Alternatively, you may admit to the murder.

If Alfira is already dead or knocked unconscious on the day this event was supposed to trigger, they will be visited by Quil Grootslang instead, but everything else stays the same.

Scleritas Fel visits the camp.

Requirements: Having experienced the previous event.

Sceleritas Fel, the butler to the Dark Urge, appears before them and congratulates them on Alfira or Quil's murder. He gives the Dark Urge The Deathstalker Mantle as a reward.
