Should You Kill or Save Kagha in Baldur's Gate 3?
You're in the Emerald Grove, a haven for druids, but tensions are high. The new archdruid, Kagha, is making some questionable decisions. The fate of a young tiefling girl, Arabella, is tied to your actions. Do you save Kagha, or let her meet her end? Let's explore the consequences of each choice.
What's the Deal with Kagha?
Kagha is a bit of a hothead, and she's not exactly a fan of tieflings, who she sees as a threat to the Grove. The situation comes to a head when Arabella, a tiefling girl, steals a sacred statue of Silvanus. Kagha wants to imprison her for this.
Can You Save Arabella?
Absolutely! You can step in and intervene, using your persuasion or nature skills to talk Kagha down. If you're a druid or a tiefling, you'll have an easier time convincing her. If you fail, Arabella will try to run and end up getting bitten by Kagha's snake.
Why Is Kagha So Suspicious?
It turns out Kagha is connected to the Shadow Druids, a group of druids with some seriously shady practices. You can uncover this secret by investigating her, and eventually, you'll have a choice: confront her with the evidence or keep it to yourself.
What Happens If You Don't Tell Anyone About Kagha's Secret?
If you keep quiet, Kagha will never learn the error of her ways. When the leader of the Grove, Halsin, returns, she'll face punishment, but she'll remain stubborn. If Arabella died, Halsin will exile Kagha, but she'll still be defiant. She's not exactly sorry for what happened. If you choose to let Kagha continue her shady business, it could lead to her getting poisoned by Arabella's mother, Komira.
So, I Should Expose Kagha, Right?
Well, yeah! It's a good thing to do, and it has some cool rewards. You'll get to fight alongside Kagha against the Shadow Druids. It's a fun fight, and you'll get some pretty cool loot. You can also redeem Kagha and make her realize she's been manipulated. She'll join your side during the fight with the Shadow Druids and even give you some special gifts later on. You'll also avoid making the Grove go hostile against you, which is a pretty major bummer.
What If I Kill Kagha?
Sure, you could kill her, but this is a bit extreme. It will make the whole Grove turn against you, and the tieflings will get the short end of the stick. It's not the best way to deal with a problem, but it's an option. The only upside is that you'll get a cool piece of loot called "Broodmother's Revenge."
What's the Best Thing to Do?
The best outcome is to save Arabella, investigate Kagha, and redeem her. This way, you keep the Grove peaceful, save some innocent lives, and get some awesome rewards. Plus, you'll get to see a repentant Kagha, which is a pleasant change.
Ultimately, the choice is yours. It's all about making the decisions you think are right for your party, and enjoying the consequences, good or bad.
