Baldur’s Gate 3is not without drama between party members. After recruiting Wyll and Karlach, they have a tense moment where one has to decide if they’re going to kill the other. Fortunately, you’re able to help resolve this problem pretty easily.

There is one fight that’s not so easy to break up. One night when coming back to camp, you can find Lae’zel and Shadowheart arguing about an artifact. On one hand, it seems to belong to the Githyanki. On the other, it’s protecting you and everyone else from being controlled by a God. It is possible to calmly put a stop to the conflict — It’s all up to the luck of the dice.

Triggering The Fight

When you recruit Lae’zel into your party, she insists that youfind a creche to solve your Mindflayer tadpole problem.Pursuing this quest will eventually put you face-to-face with a Githyanki patrol. If you have Lae’zel with you, she’ll run off to greet them. While participating in the conversation,you learn that the Githyanki are looking for the artifact you have.

No matter how you end this encounter, you’ll wind up heading to the Mountain Pass where you’re able to find the creche Lae’zel seeks. From this point on, when you long rest, there’s a chance that you’ll walk into camp to find Shadowheart and Lae’zel arguing over the artifact.
