Easiest Way To Defeat Balthazar In The Shadowfell In BG3
The undead Balthazar is a tricky opponent in Baldur’s Gate 3 and unless you want to side with the Absolute, you’ll need to fight him eventually. If you choose to battle him in Shadowfell, the environment will be a key part of the combat.
Balthazar is a powerful spellcaster who can be tricky to contend with, and one recommendation is to dispatch him in the Gauntlet of Shar before you ever get to Shadowfell. Personally, I couldn’t beat Balthazar here in an enclosed space where he’s surrounded by powerful allies so I wound up taking a different path. If you struggled with this fight or found yourself already in Shadowfell with Balthazar still floating around, there’s a sneaky way to beat him quickly and easily so you can focus on his undead friends.

Do You Have to Fight Balthazar in Shadowfell?
If you don’t kill Balthazar in the Gauntlet of Shar, he’ll follow you into Shadowfell whether or not you agreed to help him. This may make it seem like a fight is inevitable, but you don’t have to take on this powerful foe in Shadowfell even if you let him live to see it.
Instead of fighting him, you can choose to side with Balthazar and let him whisk the Nightsong away or agree to do it for him. Doing this has consequences, such as the loss of Shadowheart as a companion, but it can be a fair choice if you just can’t fight him off or if you’re trying to see what happens if you side with the Absolute.
However, if you do decide to take him on, you’ll soon find this is a tough fight with high stakes.
