Baldurs Gate 3 What Each Companion Sees in the Necromancers Mirror

WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Baldur’s Gate 3.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a massive RPG developed by Larian based on Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition. It is currently in early access, and features five companions with unique personalities, rich backstories, deep secrets and complex motivations. When the game releases in-full, these companions will be available as Origin Characters, but until then, players will have to gain their trust to unlock specific quests, important information and sizzling romance scenes. This is more difficult than it seems.

However, early in Act One, the party will encounter a magic mirror guarding a necromancer’s lair. One of way to bypass its protections is to answer the question, “If you could see anything in me, what would it be?” to the mirror’s liking. All the answers presented for each character are true to them, which allows the player some insight into their real motives and personality. In front of the mirror, even the vampire can be (figuratively) seen.

Tav (Player Character)

1. I’d see the ones I love.

2. I’d look for whatever spell will rid me of this worm in my head.

3. I’d see my enemies suffering.

Tav is the player character, and their answers are always the same: one Good, one Evil and one focused on the task at hand. While it’s up to the player to choose their motivations, choosing the survival-oriented answer helps you avoid a difficult fight.

Lae’zel

1. I’d see myself as a kith’rak: ghaik head in one hand, silver sword in the other.

2. I’d see the zaith’isk, the purifier — a relic used to extract a tadpole.

Lae’zel is a practical, single-minded Githyanki warrior. She just wants to ride a dragon, honor her Queen and slaughter her enemies — and to extract the enemy spawn that lives inside her head. Her answers reflect that she truly believes that she can accomplish her goals if her people help her. She’s the first ally that the player encounters and the most aggressive, so her sincerity is a relief.

Shadowheart

Baldurs Gate 3 What Each Companion Sees in the Necromancers Mirror

1. I have no memory of my parents — I’d like to see them, at least once.

2. I’d see myself as Shar’s Chosen, with all her powers at my disposal.

3. I’d see those who’d tormented me in the past receive the same.

Shadowheart is a cleric of Shar (a dark goddess considered evil in this universe) on a sacred mission while dealing with a severe case of self-inflicted memory loss. While it’s natural for her to want to recover the memories of her parents, her past tormentors are probably other Clerics of Shar. This last desire might create an interesting conflict of interest. Curiously, none of her answers refer to removing the parasite in her head, despite that being her main topic of conversation in-game.

Astarion

Baldurs Gate 3 What Each Companion Sees in the Necromancers Mirror

1. I’d see my home. My real home — the one I haven’t seen in centuries.

2. I’d see how to safely keep the powers this mind flayer’s worm has given me.

3. I’d see Cazador, my old master, burning in the sun.

Astarion is a High Elf magistrate who has been a vampire spawn in service to a horrendous sire for over 200 years. While Astarion doesn’t have a reflection (but “lacking evidence to the contrary, he assumes he looks amazing”), he can lie to the mirror, arguing that he is its master wearing an invisibility spell.

Astarion was morally compromised before he was turned, and now that he’s free to walk under the sun, he just wants to keep those powers, go back to his home (wherever that may be) and burn the man who tortured him for centuries. The biggest surprise here is Astarion’s homesickness, which he never mentions in the entire first act.

Gale

Baldurs Gate 3 What Each Companion Sees in the Necromancers Mirror

1. I would see a wizard tower. A safe haven for me and a sweetheart — forever.

2. I’d see myself in my next incarnation: a living manifestation of Netherese magic. A mythal in my own right.

3. I’d see my rivals humbled — jealous of the majesty that I’ve become.

Gale introduces himself as a powerless, but highly approachable wizard. As the player gets to know him better, he weaves a tale of unrequited love and youthful folly that landed him in a precarious position — even before he was tadpoled by tentacled monsters. While the first answer tracks with what he has revealed so far, the other two hint at a much darker side of his personality that has yet to be explored. And, like Shadowheart, Gale doesn’t mention the parasite here at all.

Wyll

1. I would see my father — his arms extended in forgiveness.

2. I’d see Mizora, cowered before me and begging my mercy.

3. I’d see droves of admirers, gathered to hail the Blade of Frontiers.

Wyll doesn’t seem to care about the tadpole either — what he really wants is to fix his troubled relationship with the father he admires so much, to show his cambion Mizora (a half-demon who grants powers or favors in exchange for one’s soul) who’s boss and to keep basking in the warm glow of hero-worship of his fans. These are conflicting wishes: Wyll wants the powers that Mizora offers, but without paying the necessary price. Plus, his father would have never approved of Wyll making a deal with a cambion.
