''Daughter of Darkness'' is Shadowheart's personal quest. It is added to the journal upon recruiting her and spans all three acts of the game. | |||
===Prologue=== | ===Prologue=== | ||
Shadowheart can be encountered during the battle aboard the [[Nautiloid]]. Trapped in a mind flayer pod, the party can decide whether to free her or not. If released, she will join the party as a temporary companion until they escape the ship. | Shadowheart can be encountered during the battle aboard the [[Nautiloid]].

As an origin character, Shadowheart will wake up in the pod where all player characters start. The artifact will be on the floor nearby, and the player will be prompted to pick it up and bring it to Baldur's Gate. There will be no one in the pod where Shadowheart is usually found. | As an origin character, Shadowheart will wake up in the pod where all player characters start.

On the Ravaged Beach, Shadowheart will be the only one present. As a result, there will only be two intellect devourers to fight, rather than the usual three, but it is still a significantly more difficult fight. Shadowheart getting downed results in a game over screen. (The fight can be bypassed by climbing rocks on the right of the location where the intellect devourers are found. If the party returns later with at least two party members, there will be three intellect devourers.) | On the Ravaged Beach, Shadowheart will be the only one present.

===Act One === | |||
During the first act of the game, players will slowly uncover the mystery of the artefact Shadowheart carries, as well as the mission that led her to find it. Shadowheart will reveal that she's a devout of Shar and that her mission is to deliver the artefact to her cloister in Baldur's Gate. As part of the operation, she had her memories suppressed so she wouldn't betray Shar, who exerts her influence over her through the wound in Shadowheart's hand. | During the first act of the game, players will slowly uncover the mystery of the artefact Shadowheart carries, as well as the mission that led her to find it.

Should the party learn about [[Dark Justiciar]]s, they may ask Shadowheart more about them. She will state that they are elite warriors of Shar and that she dreams of becoming one some day. This will add the quest {{Quest|The Chosen of Shar}} to the journal. | Should the party learn about [[Dark Justiciar]]s, they may ask Shadowheart more about them.

===Act Two=== | |||
Having high approval with Shadowheart will at some point reveal that one of her favourite flowers is the {{SmRarityItem|Night Orchid}}. One such flower can be found in the [[Ruined Battlefield]] in the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]] and given to her. Shadowheart will express her gratitude and lament not having anything to give in return. | Having high approval with Shadowheart will at some point reveal that one of her favourite flowers is the {{SmRarityItem|Night Orchid}}.

If she's allowed to slay the Nightsong, Shar will be greatly pleased with Shadowheart, and will finally name her Dark Justiciar, granting her powerful rewards. Shadowheart herself will be happy she finally achieved her dream, and will vow to serve Shar faithfully until death. Alternatively, Shadowheart can be convinced to spare the Nightsong, turning on Shar to forge her own future. In doing so, the Nightsong will be freed and Shadowheart will be abandoned by her goddess for good. Finally, choosing to not bring Shadowheart to the Shadowfell or surrendering the Nightsong to {{CharLink|Balthazar}} will greatly anger her and cause her to attack or permanently leave the party. Any of these outcomes complete {{Quest|The Chosen of Shar}}. | If she's allowed to slay the Nightsong, Shar will be greatly pleased with Shadowheart, and will finally name her Dark Justiciar, granting her powerful rewards.

Whether commanded by Shar as a Dark Justiciar, or guided by {{CharLink|Aylin}}, Shadowheart's next destination is the [[Cloister of Sombre Embrace]] in the [[Lower City]] of Baldur's Gate. A Dark Justiciar Shadowheart will be commanded by Shar to cleanse the cloister from corruption, while a Shadowheart who freed Aylin and turned against Shar will be spurred by the hope that she may find her parents alive there. | Whether commanded by Shar as a Dark Justiciar, or guided by {{CharLink|Aylin}}, Shadowheart's next destination is the [[Cloister of Sombre Embrace]] in the [[Lower City]] of Baldur's Gate.
