Speak With Dead Interaction

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

If  Speak with Dead is used on Gortash he will not respond but the deity Bane will answer in his stead:

• Lord Enver Gortash: You seek Gortash? His soul is already suffering at my hands. That is the fate of all those who fail me.
  • 1. If you're not Gortash, then who are you?
  • 2. Let him suffer, then. Isn't that the fate he deserves?
  • 3. You're much more coherent than most corpses. Why's that?
  • 4. Leave.

If option 1 was chosen:

• Lord Enver Gortash: I am Bane, The Black Lord. I am the Ultimate Tyrant. I am Fear, I am Hate.
• Lord Enver Gortash: And you - you are the dagger that bled Myrkul's favoured. You are the thorns that prick at my sides.
• Lord Enver Gortash: Yet you are proof that I will still rise, and Bhaal and Myrkul will yield.
• Lord Enver Gortash: One question asked. Four still remains.
  • 1. You said I am proof you will rise. What did you mean?
  • 2. Why did you ally with Myrkul and Bhaal?
  • 3. Leave.

If option 1 was chosen:

• Lord Enver Gortash: You live for power. You have proven it with every fallen foe, every chest opened, every skill claimed.
• Lord Enver Gortash: As long as mortals and immortals vie for sharper blades and louder voices, I am strengthened.
• Lord Enver Gortash: So it is for Bhaal and Myrkul - and so it is for you. You make me eternal.
  • 1. I am no agent of yours. I seek power for proper ends, not for its own sake.
  • 2. Why did you ally with Myrkul and Bhaal?
  • 3. What can I do to earn your blessing, Lord Bane?
  • 4. Leave.

If option 2 was chosen:

• Lord Enver Gortash: Why do red dragons ally with the githyanki? Why did the Broken God befriend Tyr?
• Lord Enver Gortash: And by turning mortals illithid, you deny their souls to their keepers.
• Lord Enver Gortash: You do not stoke fear by reaping your own fields, but by burning your foe's.
  • 1. I am no agent of yours. I seek power for proper ends, not for its own sake.
  • 2. What can I do to earn your blessing, Lord Bane?
  • 3. Leave.

If option 1 was chosen:

• Lord Enver Gortash: *Chuckle.*
• Narrator: The corpse says nothing more. You did not ask a question.
  • 1. What can I do to earn your blessing, Lord Bane?
  • 2. Leave.

If option 1 was chosen:

• Lord Enver Gortash: You gained my favour when you slayed Gortash. Your need for power exceeds even his.
• Lord Enver Gortash: Use the Netherstones to commandeer the brain and unleash your infected army, and I will count you among my chosen.
• Lord Enver Gortash: Or do not. Your lust for victory still brings you one step closer to me.
  • 1. Leave.
