One of the most beloved characters inBaldur’s Gate 3is Alfira, the tiefling bard. You find her early in the game and continue to run into her as you pursue a cure for the tadpole. While she’s a colorful NPC to interact with, the Dark Urge has sinister plans for her.

There are consequences for playing a Dark Urge character, and one such consequence involves Alfira when she comes to your camp. While your first instinct might be to welcome her with open arms, you’ll want to think again. This is the gruesome introduction to life as the Dark Urge.
Who Is Alfira?
If you’re not familiar with Alfira, you may find her inAct One at the Druid Grove. She’ll be a bit to the eastplaying her lute. Talk to her to helpwrite a song.
It’s an endearing moment that makes yougrow fond of her. If you’ve played through a good portion of the game already, you’ll know that she can safelymake it to Baldur’s Gateand pursue her dreams.
There’s adark and twisted turnin the Dark Urge route, however, that forces you tocut the chordsprematurely, and (fair warning) it isn’t pretty.
Can You Save Alfira At Camp?
Unfortunately, theshort answer is no. Once she shows up at camp and begs to travel with you, herfate is sealed.
If youlet her join you, she will be killed. If yousend her away, your character finds her and kills her anywaywhile you are asleep.
If you side with Minthara and the goblins, you cannot save Alfira. Saving her from the Dark Urge in this scene will not spare her later.
Either way, you’ll be left todispose of her bodyor face your party members. You canplead guilty or lieyour way out of it, but it’s something your companions won’t forget easily.
How To Save Alfira From The Dark Urge
The only way to save Alfira is toknock her outat the Druid Grove. She’s isolated, so you won’t initiate combat.
Toggle Non-Lethal Damageon and take a few swings with a melee weapon. She’ll drop to one HP, and you cango to campwithout worry.
In her place,Quil Grootslang will arriveat camp seeking refuge. Shetakes Alfira’s placein this gruesome event,sparing the tieflingfrom harm.
Attacking the player character to kill them when Alfira is at camp does not work. The part will end the day and wake up to Alfira’s corpse as if the Dark Urge had done it themselves.
Should You Save Or Sacrifice Alfira?
Deciding to save Alfira is up to you and how you want to play your character. You’ll stillreceive the Deathstalker Mantleas a prize foreliminating either bard.
Otherwise, it makes no difference besides missingone bard over the other. If you’re fond of Alfira from another play through (or you just like her character), it’s worth the extra effort tosee her growthrough each act.
