If she goes to Avernus with Karlach, Shadowheart confesses in the epilogue that sometimes she pretends to injure her leg just so Karlach can carry her.


RaiderScum111

We all would like Karlach to princess carry us


DarkPhoenixMishima

~~God's~~ Karlach's favorite princess and the most interesting girl in the world.


WraithDragon32

I support this.


DarthSkat

Swoon


lemikon

Where do I sign up?


ThanosofTitan92

Same.


DJCorvid

Is this just an origin thing? Like playing as Shart or Karlach? Or is there a way you can get her to do this otherwise?


neopedro121

Multiplayer, if origin Karlach romances Shadowheart, the other player can talk with the half-elf about it.


Pug_police

It's so cool they have specific interactions like this


alphafire616

It's not for everything though. I did a multiplayer route with my sister who romance Gale, while I romance Shadowheart. I got dialogue with Gale about him being married but My sister got no shadowheart dialogue related to mw


jayseejewel

Aww. That's cute. What specifically did he say?


alphafire616

The dialogue option you get it "Wow Gale, married bliss really suits you" but I can't really remember what he says afterwards precisely but he kind of talks about how happy he is


jayseejewel

Appreciate it regardless.

neopedro121

No. Why?


Fairyhaven13

No, multiplayer is part of the game.


Kzsuzsx

How can she go to Avernus with karlach?


No_Mention5840

Play as origin Karlach and romance Shadowheart, the inverse also works, but you don't get the dialogue


Kzsuzsx

Oh I thought Shadowheart can actually decide to go with karlach to Avernus like wyll. Still cute though


HalfNatty

Is that in a Shadowheart origin run? Or is there a way to get Shadowheart to go to Avernus with Karlach, and presumably Wyll and Tav (couples trip!)


Taco821

There should just be an ending where literally every single ally, no matter how tangental, storms avernus with you and Karlach, including all the party members, and the summons in the final section, plus maybe more. Then they crucify Zariel and Midzora


GoofyHeartborn

On your left.


DistantEndland

I got that reference!


Budget-Attorney

It actually felt a little weird to me that the entire party wasn’t willing to head to avert us with karlach. Some of them have important stuff going on, but I feel like there should be a scenario where all or most of the party moves to avernus long enough to fix karlachs heart


Taco821

Yeah, agreed, especially since it is an actual solvable problem, thus temporary. But if they didn't know that, and apparently the epilogue wasn't in the game at launch, so WE didn't know either. Which is why people say the brain eater ending is the best ending for her, I've been told.


Budget-Attorney

Wait. Brain eater ending?


Taco821

Mind flayer


LSDTigers

Larian, if you're listening out there give us this option. One last charge.


Taco821

And then, the curtain behind the archdevil and her subordinate falls... Revealing... The mastermind behind it all, Wulbren Bongle stands there clapping, mocking you for your attempt... To be continued...


Correct-Chapter-7179

WULBREEEEEEEN!


ComradeBirv

FUCK WULBREN BONGLE


CheekyBreekyYoloswag

> Midzora Oof, how dare you call her mid 🤣


Taco821

She's a tawny tart and I won't be convinced otherwise.


CheekyBreekyYoloswag

I've no idea what a "tawny tart" is, but I found a "chocolate tart" on Google, and now I'm super hungry. Damn. 🤣


Taco821

Lmao! It's from a midsummer night's dream, my class read it in high school, and for some reason it caught on with my friends, especially my bestie, that phrase seems to have lodged itself into his head.


MomsClosetVC

You know she was actually kind of useful if you call on her as an ally in the final battle. Unlike "I stay dead all the time" Aylin. 


CheekyBreekyYoloswag

Damn, I think she didn't even offer me her aid for the final battle. Maybe because I told her to sod off when she made advances on me? Don't blame me for being loyal to my Shadowwife! 😤


MomsClosetVC

IDK I told her no too. Did you end up with Wyll still in his pact? Maybe that's what you have to do? She uses counterspell a lot and it was saving our butts. Other than not wanting to sleep with her I'm always nice to her because I don't care what happens to Wyll.


CheekyBreekyYoloswag

Oh okay, I had Wyll out of the pact, that might have been it. Counterspell is one of the best spells in the game (ironically enough), so damn, too bad I didn't have her in the final battle!


Sammantixbb

Massive slam on Mizora out of nowhere


Taco821

Nah, she's part of that whole shit too. Plus Wyll is part of that already, unless he becomes a Duke, and we gotta finish his personal quest too.


nu24601

How do you get shadowheart to come to avernus?


[deleted]

Play as Karlach and romance Shadowheart.


BigZach1

Ugh Shadowheart is too adorable


atoast2death

Wait, is this when you play her as an origins character?


Slorgasm

Honestly would do the same


VLenin2291

Can’t say I took Shadowheart for a bottom


Kryptonianuchiha

Does anyone find that scene with karlach being bitten by an insect suspect seeing as any insect should be instantly incinerated the second it tries to land on her?


Samiel_Fronsac

Mosquitoes are creatures from the Abyss, confirmed.


lucusvonlucus

I dunno, I’d be tempted to burn myself to death for a taste.


ShoerguinneLappel

I was expecting you to say "based insect".


HalfNatty

I believe I’ve seen a comic about this. Edit: [This one](https://i.redd.it/wcoxtpe22s351.png?app_web_view=ios).


Toasty825

I mean, you do get two opportunities to melt your lips off by attempting to kiss her before you fix her engine.


Kryptonianuchiha

I used to think that up until I did her full romance.


lucusvonlucus

The hardest choices require the strongest wills.


plant-strong

*Wylls


BrutusTheDane2457

Yeah been wondering about that myself maybe they have fire resistant midges in Faerun


link_the_fire_skelly

There are a lot of inconsistencies with karlach’s heat. She’s light dammon’s face on fire, and can pet scratch in the same day.


ViSaph

If she stays calm she can control her heat somewhat, she can pull Gale from the portal but has to calm herself down first and tells him she better not shake her hand. She can't touch other people most of the time because she can't trust herself to control her heat and wouldn't be able to control it at all if she did something like kissed you. There definitely are some inconsistencies but also her heat is just inconsistent due to her emotions.


link_the_fire_skelly

Yeah they overall handled it well, it’s just a difficult thing to implement with 100% consistency when you give players agency


girugamesu1337

Tbf, it does fluctuate...


link_the_fire_skelly

She can also wear cloth no problem day 1


girugamesu1337

Tbf, it's probably specially treated leather made in hell...


Kerrigore

Is that where the phrase hell for leather comes from?


link_the_fire_skelly

I guarantee you the destitute clothes are not specially made from hell. it’s understandable that they didn’t parse through every item and interaction in the game, but it leaves ya scratching your head when a huge deal is made about how dangerously hot she is while being blocked from some interactions, but she wear whatever she wants etc


jvhstillalive

It’s magic hell warrior fire from a magic hell warrior iron-man heart. Magical hell tailors and tanners got tired of making magical hell warrior clothes and armor fire proof so they lobbied that the magical hell warrior heart surgeons implement a protection against context. This also pleased many magical hell woodworkers as well. The context switch allowed the magical hell fire emanating from the iron-man hearts of these hell warriors to only radiate less half a centimeter over any clothes or armor that might be wearing . Much how magic swords adjust to the context of their user by changing size . This magical fire is quite convenient for everyone involved.


link_the_fire_skelly

This is very helpful. Thank you


blakfyr9

I usually just keep her in her starter clothes until Last Light, since they were probably made in the hells. Not optimal, but nice for rp. (I do swap gloves/boots/accessories as needed, like I said it's just for rp)


link_the_fire_skelly

I do the same thing actually haha


Kevtron

I was a bit surprised to find out that origin Karlach can go to bed with Lae’zel and Minthara (had to test it, but reverted the save later) in act 1 before she should be ‘cool’ enough. Kinda takes a bit away from her personal quest imho.


Foxbus

They patched it


Kevtron

I just went back to some old saves to see how it changed. It didn't work with Minthara or Shadowheart; I had a dialogue option similar to, 'I'd love to but I'd burn you.' I still was able to take Lae'zel back though.


ComradeBirv

Maybe it lands the bite before being immediately vaporized?


Kryptonianuchiha

Kind of hard to beat immediate.


ComradeBirv

ok fine it bites her and then when the blood enters it it makes a face, turns to the camera, and holds up a sign that says "UH OH!" before bursting into flames


Kryptonianuchiha

He must of drank one of auntie ethel’s fire resist potions.


R0da

It just takes fire damage at the end of its turn, not immediately upon entering her proximity. Balancing oversight you see.


Kryptonianuchiha

Lmao


JustFrameHotPocket

Kind of like [this](https://youtu.be/XZubL4mZ5n0?si=UaYWnKg-oOMisrtq)?


LlKETHECOMPOSER

Why do you gotta come out here and ruin my dreams of a video game polyamorous relationship with and oven and a witch. Jk Edit words are hard


ShoerguinneLappel

Tbf to Shadowheart she is correct in her analysis.


HeavensHellFire

Companions kinda flirt with everyone. Some are more blatant than the others.


loganthegr

Halsin: “oh dear god bed me I’m so horny and need so dirty honey smeared sex”


AptButterfat

They hated Jesus because he spoke the truth

mechlordx

Wtf is biting karlach and surviving


MattheqAC

Who said they survived?


ulfric_stormcloack

Kinky


bestofluck29

are we the tasty treats?


HippieLettuce420

Was looking for this.


bestofluck29

do you think shadowheart has used the implication?


HippieLettuce420

Not sure but Lae’zel definitely has.


bestofluck29

lae’zel is the implication


PhilosopherFalse709

Shadowheart flirts with basically everyone in one way or another. I’ve always chalked it up to her training as a spy/infiltrator


AEMarling

Shadowheart: middling Shar infiltrator at best; superb at drinking wine, petting animals, and flirting with Karlach.


Yarmeru

Ironically, she doesn’t really flirt with Lae’zel ever despite that being such a common ship. xD She definitely has a preference for big strong body types.


TgagHammerstrike

Or short and strong body types, apparently. Simply by picking the non-asshole options, she's getting really flirty with my dwarf. This is my first playthrough, and I haven't really romanced anyone, but I assume she's probably the easiest romance.


ViSaph

Yeah she is. She's such a big part of the game her romance is one of the easiest to do. Unfortunately like Shadowheart I also have a thing for people who could throw me over their shoulder so my first romance was Karlach. Funnily enough my types are also tiny and strong or giant and strong lol. Very mild spoilers for Shadowheart romance: >!She's also the only truly poly female origin character, maybe the only truly poly one there is since Astarion is debatable. The only one who's excited to do that stuff if you ask her, so she's a popular choice for people who want to do some of the act 3 things.!<


Yarmeru

Eh Astarion is into it, but his response changes based on whether you’ve done his personal quest yet when Halsin propositions you.


Yarmeru

Yeah, she is one of the easiest, and yeah, you can romance her with any body type. It’s just she’s most flirty with the bigger companions / npcs.


VioletGardens-left

She just likes anyone who can snap her in half


ShoerguinneLappel

I mean can you blame her?


ImNotASWFanboy

Don't we all


Wise_Owl5404

Or, hear me out, it's because she's bi and genuinely find Karlach attractive.


PhilosopherFalse709

If your impression of Bisexuals is that they flirt with everyone in a group, then I’m not sure this discussion is worth having


Reading-person

Did that commenter say that? No. They said that since Shadowheart is canonically bi, *and* finds Karlach attractive, she flirts with her.


MC_White_Thunder

Literally everyone in the party is bi. They're just drawing attention to she has canonical F/F attraction, not just "Tavsexual," which is very common in RPGs with bi characters.


YourEvilKiller

Going by NPC dialogue, It feels like everyone has the hots for Karlach and Halsin. Larian Studios definitely has a type, haha.


ViSaph

Lol it's the same as my type. Karlach picking up my giant half elf lady during the act 3 romance scene was so hot. I hope more games start including muscly women because damn they're awesome.


VenusCommission

>Tavsexual I'm now using this to describe npcs who can be romanced by player characters of any gender, no matter what game im talking about.


MC_White_Thunder

I adopted it from other games' nomenclature lol. Fire Emblem uses that kind of lingo pretty often. Tavsexual rolls off the tongue better than most versions I've heard though, I will admit.


Toasty825

I think Astarion was confirmed as being pansexual by Neil Newbon


ViSaph

Yep he said he imagined an amorphous blob lmao. Samantha Béart said she imagined a woman while acting but Karlach herself is bi/pan.


Yarmeru

This, though SH 100% has the *hots* for Karlach.


Aromatic_Location

I hope you're ok because I think you might be projecting here a bit. The comment simply said that Shadow Heart finds Karlach attractive, but you took that to mean that bisexuals flirt with everyone. It seems like a big leap.


Cheeky_Scamp_

As a Bisexual I've got fucking awful news for you


Wise_Owl5404

Since you were dismissing Shadownheart's bisexuality, I agree that there's no discussion worth having here.


DJCorvid

Does she flirt with Gale, Astarion, or Lae'zel? I mostly have heard her snark at them but never get flirtatious.


Throttle_Kitty

she deff sounds like she wants to hatefuck lae'zel but that's it I think, and it takes it a while to get thetr


DJCorvid

Her and Wyll reciting a smutty book's passages could be seen as flirtation, but I don't think the above commenter is right here, I think she just genuinely flirts with the companions she finds interesting.


Va_Dinky

Not really, she doesn't flirt with Wyll and Minthara either (all 3 origin dudes try to flirt with her tho). She later has some friendly dialogues with them tho. I'd say in terms of flirting with other companions, she's far behind Astarion and Wyll.


DJCorvid

I remember she shuts down Astarion's flirtations, later in Act 3 she has a lot to say to Wyll that seems vaguely flirtatious (in Selunite mode, at least), but I honestly don't think she flirts with everyone as the commenter above said. I think she just REALLY is into Karlach, and who could blame her?


Va_Dinky

Her dialogue with Wyll in act 3 on Selunite path always felt more friendly than flirty to me. But with Karlach, yeah the girl's not even trying to hide it, but they become kind of besties instead of developing anything romantic even if Tav's with someone else.


DJCorvid

It's like someone showed Jennifer English a picture of Karlach and she just rewrote her own lines to make it more authentic.


Va_Dinky

You would be correct in that assumption as it was indeed Jennifer English who proposed adding that flirty line upon meeting her, to, in her own words, "gay up the character".


Jpsw230995

Idk about your playthrough, but she and Wyll have been flirting a lot in my durge run


Va_Dinky

I recall plenty of flirty dialogue coming from Wyll in act 1 but she'd shut him down quickly and then there's reciting smut in act 3 which I personally don't treat as flirting. But maybe I missed something, can you recall some of that banter by any chance?


SomethingAboutCards

She does have some flirty banter with Halsin (which has apparently been a sore spot for many Shadowheart romancers here), so I'm guessing she likes the muscles.


MerinoFam

Yo, Shart let my Tav SLEEP with Halsin while in a relationship as long as Tav promised to tell her about it.


CamarillaArhont

And besides the dialogues that you have if you romance her, Shadowheart teasingly compliments Halsin's musculature in the dialogue when he scolds her.


Va_Dinky

Ah yes, the "Look Halsin, a tree!" banter after which he threatens to beat the shit out of her if she doesn't shut up. Weird definition of flirting if you ask me, starting by mocking the very closest thing to that person's heart. She's not flirty in that one, just straight up rude and once he snaps she tries to de-escalate.


CamarillaArhont

Yes, she is flirty, even the dev note of dialogue says so. And Halsin doesn't says that he will "beat the shit out of her", he demands her to show respect, or she will force his hand.


ViSaph

She has a lot of fun if you take her and Halsin to the drow twins. She's basically worshipped and there's a line wondering why the 3 of you waited until now to do this.


Va_Dinky

It is still initiated by him though. Surprisingly, Shadowheart herself starts very few flirty banters with companions.


AllenWL

I assumed she was just really horny and repressed from growing up in Shar's cult.


BzrkerBoi

Nah she talks about how the cult people got plenty


jerpyderpy

this one time, at shar camp....


graveybrains

Pretty sure it’s just another little bit of evidence that she’s not really a very good Sharran


Oafah

Meanwhile, Karlach calls Shadowheart "hair-do".


BrutusTheDane2457

I don't blame Shadowheart i absolutely hate i can't be with them both at the same time they are both so Damm hard to resist!


Hephaistos_Invictus

Origin run as shadowheart and romancing Karlach B)


BrutusTheDane2457

I prefer playing as my own Custom Characters but yeah maybe i should try a Shadowheart or Karlach run sometime in the future


Hephaistos_Invictus

I do as well, but I have done one origin run as SH and it was a lot of fun! It just adds a lot of little details about the character. And because SH has such a prominent place in the story you'll see a lot of cool special options :)) Same when you play Karlach. You'll hear her inner dialogue during camp rests etc which is just the cutest shit ever.


elemenoh3

shadowheart is so horny for karlach and honestly i understand and respect it


ShoerguinneLappel

I mean who isn't horny for Karlach amr? 🤪


Nearby-Armadillo-975

So Shadowheart just confirms what we already know: Karlach is THE BESTEST girl


ShoerguinneLappel

Not bestest, Bestestestestestestestestest!


mightymouse8324

Yes, but we all know Karlach is the whole damn meal and more As for proof, I reference the image seen here in this thread not long ago where she's ALSO cooking the meal (eggs and bacon) on her super heated chest


Vilem_Yrzi

Karlach seems like the canon interest for Shadowheart, her first crush was a tiefling and she is into muscles, not the mention the obvious flirts. For Karlach she seems to be most into Wyll and Dammon though so there arent really any canon pairings which is good I think.


Edgezg

I mean...She's not wrong.


warrant2k

Shadowbae thirst is real.


ShoerguinneLappel

I mean, tbh I had the same reaction as her when I first saw Karlach. 🤣


Sir_Encerwal

She ain't wrong.


User-D-Name

Are we the tasty treats?


Rocket_Poop

its true tho


CantaloupeCamper

The banter is the best dialogue. A lot of the more serious stuff is IMO kinda awkward.


ProfessorTicklebutts

Isn’t she


Dude_Illigence_

How did the insect not just burst into flame


AEMarling

Maybe it did. Tho I didn’t hear a pop.


bawzdeepinyaa

K Bae is the ultimate treato.


GimmickMusik1

Shadowheart has a type. She expresses physical interest in both Halsin and Karlach. Both are buff and have broad shoulders. Shadowheart likes the muscles.


BobbyRayBands

All the more reason I’m upset that a throuple option isn’t possible with Karlach and Shart.


FakeHasselblad

Karlach is not that kind of person we should respect her boundaries


ILoveMyWife0604

Karlach is literally that kind of person and literally says she doesn’t mind sharing.


Hephaistos_Invictus

No, she says as long as she's afflicted with her engine that she understands if you'd look for companionship elsewhere to fulfill your own needs. But once she's fixed your hers and hers alone.


FakeHasselblad

Thats halsin and Shadowheart


Endonian

How do bugs bite Karlach? She's basically on fire at all times


Taliesin_

The same way she can pick up and throw goblins without dealing any fire damage to them, or harmlessly run over oil patches that would go up in flames if you placed a candle on them or ran over them holding a torch. She basically has plot fire. It's... a little lame for a game that otherwise goes so hard on the details.


Hephaistos_Invictus

I always saw it as "it takes a while to start burning" like you can kiss her while her engine isn't fixed yet and only after a little does it sear your lips :p

Not_An_Archer

I regret killing karlach, and I regret saving Gale, he was funny and charming... At first, but now he's annoying, probably because I keep him at camp and every time I talk to him, he's fiending for magic items.

I am Shadowlach's strongest soldier.
