Baldur’s Gate 3 has released its latest patch, and while it’s brought a whole host of new features, including the ability to change your appearance in camp, it’s also made life much easier for one companion in particular.

Like each party member in Baldur’s Gate, Karlach has a personal quest that you can pursue as you progress through the game, and hers relies on another tiefling called Dammon to fix her infernal engine.

However, previous versions of the game led to situations where Dammon could be permanently unavailable in Act 2, locking you out of Karlach’s quest entirely. Luckily, that’s now fixed in these latest patch notes.

Depending on choices in Act 2 at the Last Light Inn, there used to be a chance that Dammon could be involved in a difficult combat situation, and if he dies during this encounter, there’s no bringing him back. He won’t even respawn in Act 3. Luckily, that’s now been removed.

That’s not the only issue that’s fixed with regards to Karlach. If you want to romance her, a bug where the game thinks you’re actually romancing Gale has been removed, and some glitches that appear on a date with her have also been patched out.

Similarly, her interactions with Wyll, who was hunting her at the beginning of the game, have been tuned to be a bit more realistic.

Karlach has remained a fan-favorite companion since the game released, and players have been enamored with her, even when she realized she was in a video game the whole time.
