A Baldur’s Gate 3 player has discovered that examining certain characters can actually spoil an important part of the game’s story.
Act 2 is where the plot of Baldur’s Gate 3 really takes off. Once you enter the Shadow-Cursed Lands and head towards the Highmoon Towers, big questions begin to be answered. For example, you discover the true power behind the Absolute.
The central story of Act 2 thus focuses on Ketheric Thorm. He is an immortal who is by far the greatest threat you have faced thus far. He is therefore logically the final boss in Act 2. The plot mainly focuses on the quest to put an end to his immortality.
Players who are replaying (or simply restarting the game without finishing Act 3) will of course know that Chantenue, the legendary weapon you were looking for in Act 1, was actually Lady Aylin. She is therefore the famous source of Ketheric’s immortality. But if you didn’t know, there’s a good chance that all of this will be revealed to you prematurely.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Player Explains How Examining Characters Can Spoil The Story
On the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit, player Vitrizeal noted that “examining characters may spoil the story”. His post was accompanied by a screenshot of Ketheric in the main area of the Highmoon Towers Chapel.

Like most items in Baldur’s Gate 3, this tab is incredibly detailed. We even read why Ketheric is immortal.
The status clearly states: “Ketheric is immune to all damage while holding the imprisoned Nightsong.”This not only makes it clear that Nightsong is a person, but that this is the reason why Ketheric cannot be killed.
Finally, another player said that a similar situation happened with Wyll ‘s story in Act 2. It involved rescuing Mizora from the Absolute’s base beneath Highmoon Towers.
“On my first playthrough, I forgot to release ‘Zariel’s Agent’ before approaching the Ketheric boss fight,” he said. “The narrator bluntly says ‘You didn’t free Mizora, Wyll is going to die, are you sure?’ “And that’s how I found out it was her.”
So, remember that curiosity can truly be a bad flaw in Baldur’s Gate 3.
