— Zethino

Zethino also serves as a vendor of alchemical ingredients, but only the first time she is spoken to by the player character.

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

Zethino is one of Orin's possible disguises. The real Zethino can only be encountered if Orin has already been discovered twice.

Zethino's test of love

Picking two or more 'incorrect' answers will result in a more negative comment from the character you did the love test with, while picking two or more 'correct' answers will result in a more positive interaction.

Completing Zethino's test earns the Inspirational Event A Test of Faithfulness (Acolyte background) and Knowledge of the Heart (Sage background).

  • Prior to Patch 6, Zethino would refer to Shadowheart as "the dark-haired maiden" even if said maiden had actually adopted white hair as part of her personal overhaul following her abandonment of Shar worship.
