The first part of Karlach\u2019s questline<\/a> in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em> has you looking for Infernal Iron<\/a> to repair the Infernal Engine in her heart. After you gather enough Infernal Iron, a blacksmith named Dammon is able to make repairs that cool Karlach down enough that she can touch other people. Unfortunately, Dammon has some bad news for Karlach. The Engine simply can\u2019t sustain itself in Faerun. Karlach needs to return to Avernus, or she\u2019ll eventually burn up and die. <\/p> You might imagine that the second half of Karlach\u2019s quest would involve finding a way to keep her out of Avernus. You\u2019d be wrong. Instead, Karlach asks for help getting revenge on Lord Gortash for sending her to Avernus in the first place. Killing Gortash satisfies Karlach\u2019s thirst for vengeance, but it does nothing to permanently fix the Infernal Engine in her chest. <\/p> Just like the game\u2019s other companions, Karlach has a handful of different endings available to her. None of them are as happy as fans might want. Karlach can remain in Faerun until her Infernal Engine explodes. She can also allow herself to be transformed into a Mind Flayer, which lets her survive in a less-than-ideal fashion. The \u201cbest\u201d ending for Karlach sees her head down to Avernus with Wyll and Tav at her side. The three might be able to fight back the demons and find a new way to save Karlach, but the game doesn\u2019t tell us if that actually happens.<\/p><\/iframe>
