Baldur's Gate 3: Should You Break Wyll's Contract? ›

Yes, breaking Wyll's contract is ideal for every playthrough. It is possible to break Mizora's pact and rescue Duke Ravengard in the same playthrough, although the quest tied to saving the duke will be slightly altered if you broke Wyll's pact.

Break the pact and Wyll is freed of Mizora's influence. As part of the agreement, Wyll can keep his Warlock powers until the Absolute is dealt with – meaning he'll remain a useful partner for the remainder of the campaign – but once it's all over he'll be a regular man once more, but a free one.

You can still save his dad even after you break the pact. you just need to go to the Iron Throne before you finish the main quest involving Gortash. And you don't need to have Wyll as a companion either.

While he might fall short for some players, knowing how to make the most out of him can change him from an average companion into a powerful one. The player can keep Wyll as a simple Warlock for the entire game, or they can experiment with multiclassing him for a more fresh experience with Wyll.

If you broke Mizora's contract with Wyll, she will attempt to kill Ravengard as he flees his cell with a group of exploding spiders. If you bring along Gale or Shadowheart with the spell Dimension Door, you can trigger the spiders during Ravengard's turn, then use the spell to teleport the Grand Duke to safety.

After that, you'll enjoy, or not enjoy, the night with Mizora. Be warned, though; this does have consequences. The next morning, Wyll will be very upset with your actions, but not enough to have him do anything. Your current lover, however, will have something else to say.

Killing Karlach

After a long rest, Wyll is visited by his patron, who reveals that she was less truthful when sending Wyll to kill Karlach. She also rewards Wyll with an Infernal Robe, a cloth armor that can be very useful with the right Eldritch Invocations.

The player should note that if they're already in a relationship with someone, doing this with Mizora will negatively affect their relationship, possibly breaking it off if it's with someone like Gale, who's extremely Monogamous, or simply upset with their partner if they're with someone like Shadowheart.

If Duke Ravengard is killed under any circ*mstances, either at Enver Gortash's coronation or the Iron Throne regardless of Mizora's pact outcome, Wyll will initiate a breakup with the player during a cutscene at camp, stating that he will hurt the player in his state of sadness, and ask for one last dance before ending ...

By making the right dialogue choices, by protecting the Emperor in combat, and by exploring the Emperor's past, players can pursue this Mind Flayer romance.

Can you romance Wyll in BG3? ›

Once Wyll's approval reaches "medium," a cutscene will play at camp. In it, Wyll will either try to play a guessing game, or talk about dancing. Regardless of which direction this dialogue goes, players will get an opportunity to kiss him. Doing so will begin Wyll's romance.

But let's talk romance: while Baldur's Gate 3 has a number of intriguing romance paths, Shadowheart's is easily the most popular, with 51.3% players completing her romance arc (which you can find a walkthrough of here). It turns out she really is God's favorite princess and the most interesting girl in the world.

Wyll's high Charisma is useful for the purposes of this build, but it's a very good idea to respec some of his Constitution and Intelligence into Dexterity at your earliest opportunity. Charisma and Dexterity (in that order) should be your priorities when increasing Wyll's abilities upon levelling up, too.

If Wyll ends the pact, the party can still find their way to the Iron Throne, and Ravengard will be alive, but once he's freed, Mizora will summon six explosive spiders to try and kill him. This makes the situation more dangerous, but the party can still get him out alive.

It happens during Act 2, minor spoilers. You can rescue Mizora at the end of Act 2 and she will turn him back to human as a reward.

Story wise, Breaking your Pact usually comes with a consequence stipulated in the original contract. It could be the loss of access to powers, if that is what you agreed on. Most pacts have far steeper consequences though: For infernal pacts it is usually the immediate forfeit of your soul/life to the fiend.

Regardless of your decision, Mizora will stay in your camp. Don't make her leave, and just talk to her after a couple of long rests. You might see an exclamation point, which means there's an important conversation.

Although, at first glance, Gortash appears unreliable, this alliance has many more advantages than disadvantages. Since Gortash controls the Steel Watchers and the Flaming Fist Guards, having him on the player's side will make it easier to move around the city.
