Baldur’s Gate 3 player discovers key NPC feature after 4 playthroughs
Despite heaps of time sunk into Baldur’s Gate 3, one player has come to an agonizingly late conclusion about one of the game’s NPCs.
InBaldur’s Gate 3, there are a whole host of interesting characters you may recruit to your party, both on a permanent and temporary basis. While another member of the camp can bring some extra firepower to your crew, it means you also have another companion to worry about while playingthe game.
The Scroll of Revivifydoesn’t work on NPCs or partial camp members. Withers can’t help you out in this regard either. So, while you might play a little more recklessly with your permanent party members, any additional allies should be treated with care if you’d like to keep them around. However, as one player explained on the Baldur’s Gate 3 subreddit, there are exceptions to this rule.
Baldur’s Gate 3 player learns Dame Aylin’s secret
After recruiting Dame Aylin as a partial camp member, the player said they exhibited the utmost degree of caution in battles to avoid her dying. This is a process that likely involved plenty of headaches and at least a smidge of save scumming.
Spoiler alert regarding Dame Aylin!
It wasn’t until their fourth playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3 that the player came to the realization that as a demi-god, Aylin— save for a select few circumstances — can’t actually die.In canon, worshippers of Shar ‘killed’ Aylin over and over as part of their justiciar initiation. So, she’s not likely to be permanently felled by any of the enemies you come across in your travels.
The player’s delayed realization has led to some playful ribbing fromothersin the community: “The immortal daughter of a god, who is enslaved to give Ketheric immortality, and who Lorrokoan wants to capture for the same reason, is in fact immortal.”

Looking on the bright side, their unfortunate situation served as a useful reminder for players to use ‘Examine’ on enemies and allies to check features like statuses, resistances, weaknesses, and move sets. Regrettably, this is a mechanic thatplayersadmit to forgetting about all too often: “I suffered many headaches that would’ve been prevented had I only used Examine first.”
Take these two lessons of the day, Baldur’s Gate 3 players: remember to use Examine and immortal demi-gods, are in fact, immortal.
