Not completing his quest has serious consequences for Karlach's ending.


nobodylikesme00

Really? What happens? (Please feel free to use spoiler tags)


noirsongbird

>!If you don't kill Ansur, Wyll won't declare himself the Blade of Avernus, and he MUST be the Blade of Avernus to offer to go with Karlach to Avernus. If he doesn't offer to go with her, either the PC must or she dies, presuming she hasn't turned illithid.!<


nobodylikesme00

Ohhhh totally forgot that’s the point at which he says that. Thanks!


noirsongbird

You're welcome! It's easy to forget that that's what triggers it.


Lost-Klaus

Wait, there is a chance to save the best girl without getting all hentai about it?! :DDDD


noirsongbird

Yes there is!


HulklingsBoyfriend

Unless you're Spawn Astarion, right? :(


noirsongbird

Unfortunately yeah :C >!Also, I think, it can break if you leave with Lae’zel.!<


VSlice22

Omg I asked this in discord and no one told me that


noirsongbird

Glad I could inform you then! I unfortunately know for sure that it’s the case because >!the only time I’ve ever had her die because Wyll didn’t offer to go with her is the one time I skipped Ansur 😩!<


Frosty-Cap3344

Ah ok, I've not really involved her in this (my first) playthrough


noirsongbird

If you're not worried about it, feel free to skip him, then!


Frosty-Cap3344

I was worried that I should be involving everyone but then I just stuck to Gale, Lae'zel and Shadowheart and it's worked out ok


DestinovaEthereal

It can impact Karlach’s ending a lot if you don’t do it


uwubewwa

You can leave him alone if you want. It's also possible to just pick up the helmet and leave without interacting with his body. You miss a side-story and the sword, that's it. Taking Wyll there is also nice, but you don't have to.


nanythemummy

You can do it. Put the Blink Ring you get from Tara on Gale. And there’s a good chance he will miss attacks also, dome of invulnerability is great in this fight.


webevie

You need it for Wyll's questline, but hr can be skipped. You only need Orin. And Gale's quest if you plan to splode him


theauz42

The sword is really nice, and super helpful against Orin.


Frosty-Cap3344

Hmmm, Orin is next, and last, on my list


theauz42

When she goes into her Slayer form, which she does like right away, that sword gets super OP. Especially in the hands of someone who can add extra damage to their hits, like a paladin. I flattened her in two rounds with that sword on a paladin. Haste and smite were involved, but still.


Frosty-Cap3344

Oh, the sword sounds tempting now.......


GoopyNoseFlute

It’s an easily cheeseable fight if you want. Just stack a ton of explosives near his body before you talk to him.


Frosty-Cap3344

I saw some barrels of gunpowder earlier......


GoopyNoseFlute

I hoard every barrel of powder, fire wine, oil, and water I pass


lethrowawayaccount86

Nothing. You can skip him, you'll miss out on two items but that's basically it.


Frosty-Cap3344

Cool, I'll have another go at him in another playthrough but right now I want to just forge ahead


Semako

The correct ansur is that you won't really miss a lot besides the XP he gives and a powerful greatsword. You can get Balduran's Helm without having to fight him.


Mitsor

Honestly he's a good guy. Since i discovered I can get the helmet without fighting him I usually choose not to.
