Baldur's Gate 3 is a treasure trove of secrets, with Larian Studios gradually unveiling more about the game. Dataminers have been instrumental in uncovering many of these secrets, including a particularly intriguing ending. This evil ending, which was initially discovered by dataminers, has resurfaced during the testing phase of the game's eighth major patch. In this ending, the protagonist can eliminate the illithid by physically tearing it out and destroying it, all without suffering any harm. Following this dramatic event, the story branches into two paths: the hero and companions can depart together, or the hero can choose to leave the companions behind.
The gaming community is buzzing with speculation that this ending will be fully integrated into Baldur's Gate 3 with the release of the eighth patch, adding another layer of depth to the already rich narrative.
