Baldur’s Gate 3: What Happens if You Kill Mizora – Answered (BG3)

As you travel through the flesh tunnels beneath Moonrise Tower, you’ll stumble across Mizorah, the Guardian of Weir. But what happens if you choose to eliminate Mizorah in Baldur’s Gate 3?

Baldur’s Gate 3: What happens if you kill Mizora

If you kill Mizora in Baldur’s Gate 3, she will disappear from the pod. Wyll will then be engulfed in flames and dragged to Avernus. Mizora isn’t even permanently dead, which means Wyll is still bound by the contract. Wyll will be permanently removed from your party. There is no way to get him back.

Mizora is probably one of the most annoying characters you’ll encounter in Baldur’s Gate, which is quite a feat. It’s easy to understand why players would want to eliminate Mizora in Baldur’s Gate 3, but there’s really no benefit to doing so.

After recruiting Wyll and entering Act 2, she will come to your camp and make a pointed request of you. She will ask you to release Zarie’l’s “assets”, thus starting the “Saving Zariel’s Assets” quest.

After following Ketheric Thorm into the Mindflayer Colony in Moonrise Tower, you will find Zariel’s asset. There, Mizora will be trapped in a Mindflayer Pod. She is Zariel’s asset. Once you find her, you will have two choices. You can either open the pod or kill Mizora.

If Karlach was at a party with you, she would be furious with you. She would also be disappointed with herself for letting this happen.

If you kill Mizora in Baldur’s Gate 3, the only silver lining (if you can call it that) is that the pile of ashes Wyll leaves behind still contains all the items in his inventory at the time of his death.

What happens if you let Mizora go in Baldur’s Gate 3

If you choose to let Mizora go, Will will negotiate with her to release the contract. She will agree, and Will will be free in six months. That sounds like a long time until the end of the world, but it’s better than nothing. Likewise, she will appear later in the third act as a short-lived romance and a choice to piss you off at your camp.

You can rescue Mizora by breaking down the pod with a Strength skill check or an Arcane check to learn about the Illithid control next to Mizora’s pod. This is similar to how you recruit Shadowheart in Baldur’s Gate 3.

It’s probably best to forgo that option and let her go, though. Doing so will allow you to keep your smoothest teammate alive, and you can continue his personal companion quest. And Will has a lot of side quests in Act 3. Note that while this isn’t one of BG3’s time-sensitive side quests, you can’t just leave her there without consequences. The result of leaving or eliminating Mizora is the same: Will will die, and leave your party forever.

Can you permanently kill Mizora in BG3?

Yes, you can permanently kill Mizora in Baldur’s Gate 3 using two specific methods: reducing her intelligence to zero or turning her to stone.

  1. To reduce Intelligence to zero:
    • Use a wizard with the Illithid ability Drain to lower Mizora’s intelligence.
    • Follow up with a Priest or Druid to cast a spell Contagion: Fire in the Heart Confusing her and hurting her.
    • Finally, use Absorb Intelligence to reduce her intelligence to zero. She will teleport away and come back dead.
  2. Petrochemical:
    • Casting a Spell Flesh turned to stone or Meat turns to gold On Mizora. She will be given a Constitution saving throw.
    • If she fails her saving throw three times, she becomes a permanent statue and dies.

Both of these methods will bypass her “Zariel’s Protection” and will have a significant impact on Wyll’s questline, so it is recommended to complete his storyline first.

What would happen if Mizora was petrified or destroyed in BG3?

Killing Mizora this way will not cause Wyll to be dragged into Avernus, but it will have the following effects on Wyll’s questline:

  1. Quest Interruption: Using these methods may disrupt Wyll’s questline, preventing it from being completed. Wyll may not acknowledge Mizora’s death, but may still mention hunting her down.
  2. Hostility: If it involves Contagion: Fire in the Heart If executed imperfectly, Wyll and Duke Ulder Ravengard (if present) may become hostile, leading to their permanent expulsion from the group.
  3. Unacknowledged Action : Even if Mizora is killed, the game may not reflect this in Wyll’s dialogue or quests, leading to narrative inconsistencies.
