Baldur's Gate 3: Vlaakith Guide (Should You Obey?)

screenrant.com:

Vlaakith, the undying Lich Queen of the Githyanki, is a potentially deadly adversary in Baldur’s Gate 3, depending on whether the party obeys or disobeys her commands. The leader of the Githyanki is just one of the many gods and goddesses players can encounter. However, the decisions made when interacting with Vlaakith can shape the fate of your companion, Lae’zel, and the game's ending.

[Warning: The following article contains spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3.]When journeying through Act One of , the party will have the opportunity to visit the Githyanki Crèche Y’llek in Rosymorn Monastery. The Githyanki may have a cure for mind flayer parasites, and players can opt to negotiate with them to find out more.

When meeting the Inquisitor, you can try to hand over the Prism or battle to keep it for yourself.

The battle against the Githyanki Inquisitor can be challenging, so make sure to take a Short or Long Rest before continuing.

You can greet her and show deference or wave (although doing so earns disapproval from Lae’zel). In summary, you should obey Vlaakith’s command to enter the Prism. At this stage, disobeying Vlaakith by refusing or asking her to do it herself or showing her too much disrespect will cause her to cast a spell that kills the whole party instantly. This leads to a Game Over screen.
