How to Keep Shadowheart in Your Party After Shadowfell in BG3
In Baldur’s Gate 3, many of your choices have irrevocable consequences, and that can include permanently alienating members of your party. What you do in Shadowfell is one of those tough choices, which can lead to the permanent loss of Shadowheart as a companion if you aren’t careful.
