A player discovered a potential secret ending in Baldur’s Gate 3 where a well-known character appears and returns to their true destiny.
Spoiler Warning: We are talking about a potentially secret ending of Baldur’s Gate 3.
What kind of ending is this? The player Malcet
stumbled upon an interesting ending while playing Baldur’s Gate: In this version of the ending, Lae’zel raises an adopted son, as Malcet reports on Reddit.
If you are in a romantic relationship with Lae’zel, you would raise him together, but a love with Lae’zel can quickly end explosively if you are not careful.
Player does not complete quest, but leaves egg with companion
How do you get to this ending? Malcet unlocked this ending by accepting a quest to obtain a Gith’yanki egg
for Lady Esther. He then decided to leave this egg in Lae’zel’s inventory instead of completing the quest normally.
You then learn about your adopted son at Withers party by asking about Lae’zel.
However, the adopted son is not a stranger but Xan, whom you already know from an earlier part of Baldur’s Gate.
Xan had the wrong race and class in Baldur’s Gate 1
Where do you know Xan from? You can meet Xan in Baldur’s Gate 1 in the first dungeon of the main story, where he was a captured elven wizard that you could rescue, according to Malcet. As a thank you, Xan could then join your group.
That was unjust to Xan.
Because originally, Xan did not come from the first part of Baldur’s Gate, but he comes from a PnP template. This was played by the Baldur’s Gate 2 producer Ben Smestadt.
However, in that template, Xan was supposed to be a Gith’yanki warrior, which allegedly was changed for game balance reasons for Baldur’s Gate 1.
In Baldur’s Gate 3, however, that is different again, and Xan has the destiny he deserves.
In what way is Xan’s injustice avenged? In Baldur’s Gate 3, Xan returns to his origin as a warrior and is no longer a wizard.
The hint for this is given by Lae’zel herself, who says: What a wonder he is. He will be a good warrior if he chooses to.
Thus, Xan, according to the user, returns to his original destiny as a warrior in the latest part of Baldur’s Gate 3, and the elven wizard from part 1.
This ending is not the only secret ending that Baldur’s Gate 3 has to offer. A player managed to mess up his Honour run after 92 hours because he did not want to heed the warnings of the game: Player stubbornly ignores a warning in Baldur’s Gate 3 3 times, loses 92 hours of gameplay, finds secret ending
