She is headstrong, kind, loyal and ready to follow you wherever you might need to go. The big question is, where is she? This guide will not only detail Karlach's location but also tell you a bit about her and her stats. Karlach Origin Character: Who is Karlach in BG3? Karlach, freshly escaped from the slave service of the Archdevil, Zariel, is a Tiefling Barbarian Origin Character with an energetic personality and a robust set of stats. If you decide to take her on as a companion, you will learn that Her own heart was replaced with an infernal engine by Zariel and she was forced to serve him in the Blood War. Managing to escape Karlach promised herself that she would never return to Zariel's service. Karlach's Origin Character Descritption from Baldur's Gate 3: \"Fresh-escaped from Hell, Karlach is finally free of the archdevil Zariel
As Barbarian, Karlach is equipped with high Strength, high Constitution, and high health points<\/strong>, allowing her to take and receive higher than normal amounts of damage. She has resistance to fire, as well as Advantage on Dexterity saving throws against traps, spells, and surfaces. And if you’re looking for a romantic partner that can pick you up with ease, there’s no one better.<\/p>
Karlach’s location in BG3<\/em><\/h2> Karlach at the end of the Risen Road. Screenshot by Dot Esports.<\/figcaption><\/figure>
Karlach’s location is at the very southeast corner of the Risen Road<\/strong>, specifically at coordinates X:108, Y:516<\/strong>. Karlach can be found burning up on the other side of a bloody log that can be used to cross the river to reach her. Below you will learn Karlach’s location in detail:<\/p>
After landing on the beach, make your way north through the ruins and the crashed Nautiloid ship until you reach the big fortified gate that leads to the Hollow and the Emerald Grove. <\/li>
After the big goblin fight at the gate, make sure to go to the Hollow and recruit Wyll<\/strong> to your party, as he is currently hunting down Karlach, believing her to be a powerful devil that poses a danger to the entire Sword Coast.<\/li>
Return to the outside of the big gate, then follow the path heading west<\/strong> into the Forest. After crossing the bridge, turn north<\/strong> at the pile of dead adventurers and goblins onto a dirt path.<\/li>
Follow the path north until you meet Scratch, whom you can convince to come to your camp if you can Speak with Animals. Go past Scratch and use the rocks at X:79, Y:499 to jump across<\/strong> the river and reach the Risen Road.<\/li>
After jumping across and reaching the Risen Road, immediately head east<\/strong> to find the bloody log and Karlach.<\/li> <\/ul> Karlach’s location on the map. Screenshot by Dot Esports.<\/figcaption><\/figure>
How to recruit Karlach as a companion in BG3<\/h2>
Choosing to bring Wyll with you when recruiting Karlach<\/strong> will put you in a situation of doing some convincing. When you first see Karlach, she will be Running Hot due to her infernal engine. Walk up to her, and the cutscene will begin. <\/p>
She’s heating up! Screenshot by Dot Esports.<\/figcaption><\/figure>
With Wyll in your party,<\/strong> you’ll have to convince him to stand down. Just don’t select the third option in both dialogue choices<\/strong>, and Wyll will realize he’s been tricked and will back off. If Wyll’s not in your party, this same interaction will occur in camp at the end of the day; just don’t suggest attacking Karlach<\/strong>, and you’ll get the same result. Make sure to talk to Wyll after his first interaction with Karlach<\/strong> to progress his companion quest.<\/li>
Without Wyll in your party, just don’t select the dialogue option of trying to kill Karlach<\/strong>, and your tadpole connection will allow you to discover that she was an unwilling participant of the Blood War.<\/li>
