Baldur’s Gate 3: How to Beat Malus Thorm in BG3
You might encounter the House of Healing in Baldur’s Gate 3, and find Malus Thorm, busy working on a patient in his care. The doctor is a potential boss you can fight before making your way to Moonrise Tower, but how you fight him is up to you.
There are two ways that you can go about defeating him. One is by talking to him, and outplaying his words through a series of precise Skill Checks, or you can take him on in a head-on-head encounter. The choice is yours. Here’s what you need to know about how to beat Malus Thorm in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Rather than attacking him, there’s the option to engage him in an array of Religion and Persuasion Skill Checks in dialogue. You’ll need to succeed against Thisobald to overcome these checks.
The first choice you’ll want to make is a Religion check, and “Recall what you know of Shar’s teachings.” After you’ve done this, you can share that, “Your subject is tainted. Shar’s Succour must only be granted to the willing.” Malus will agree with you, and ask how to proceed. There are several choices for this Baldur’s Gate 3 conversation, and I found the best to be, “Why not have them hone their skills on each other?” This is a Persuasion Skill Check.
If you succeed in this Skill Check roll, the nurses will be forced to fight one another. They will fight and defeat each other, making Malus Thorm a much easier target for a potential boss battle.
