Spoiler warning: The following content contains unhidden spoilers. Read at your own risk. |
Background
Spoiler warning! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.
Act Two
Spoiler warning! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.
While speaking to NPCs such as Jaheira, Z'rell, and Balthazar, it will be revealed, so some capacity depending on who you speak of, that a magical relic grants Ketheric Invulnerability. Assisting Balthazar will reveal that sometime between his life as a Sharran, and his time serving Myrkul, Ketheric Thorm had discoverd the Nightsong, and used it to render him unkillable.
The party may encounter him again at the top of Moonrise Towers. Depending on the player's choices, namely if Isobel is to die, he will recount his life story, and his sacrifices, ultimately blaming the party for her death, but not punishing them, as he wishes to keep up the façade of the Absolute's judgement.
Ketheric Thorm's actual battle has three individual stages.
After either destroying, or liberating the Nightsong, his invulnerability is lost, and he can finally be killed. During the first stage of the boss fight, he will eventually flee to the lower levels of the Tower, towards the Mind Flayer Colony to reconvene with Lord Enver Gortash and Orin the Red, revealing himself, Gortash, and Orin as the Chosen of Myrkul, Bane, and Bhaal respectively.
Depending on certain choices involving Gale (SPOILERS), the game can end at this very moment, allowing the party to kill Ketheric Thorm, Enver Gortash, Orin the Red and the Absolute in one fell swoop.
The latter two will leave Ketheric to retrieve the Mysterious Artefact in order to lead the Absolute's army to Baldur's Gate. During this second segment of the boss fight, which the player can bypass entirely with a successful Charisma skill check. In either case, if the Nightsong has not been destroyed, he will retrieve it once more, and either he, in the second stage or the Apostle of Myrkul in the third, will regain their invulnerability - but this can be rectified by using a Help Action on Nightsong.
Once he is defeated, he will finally die for good, allowing the party to retrieve his Netherstone, and proceed to Baldur's Gate.Spells and Abilities
