You’ll encounter several choices as you prepare to make your way through Act Three of Baldur’s Gate 3. One of these decisions is given to you by the Emperor, who offers to evolve you using a special tadpole he’s had hidden away.

The Emperor reveals his identity to you shortly after he’s attacked inside the artifact. You’ll have to protect him and his prisoner. How you react to the reveal of his identity may vary, but regardless of how you treat him, he offers you a deal where you can take a step closer down the path of becoming an Illthid. The choice is an important one, and it’s an option your party members will remember.

The Druid might be one of the most undervalued classes in Baldur’s Gate 3. With the ability to cast spells, wear good armor, and turn into an Owlbear, you can’t go wrong with these wise warriors. That said, there are Druid subclasses that reign supreme in any campaign.

You’ll want to be mindful about which subclass you wish to pick for your Druid. Are you going to serve as a frontline tank? Will you primarily deal damage? Or do you want them to rely on their spells to change the course of a battle? You have to consider these questions for your Druid, and these are the best Druid subclasses you can pick in Baldur’s Gate 3 to help answer those questions.

Here are the best feats you can choose to use as a Warlock in BG3.
