Who Is Baldur’s Gate 3 Guardian

How To Meet The Guardian
The very first time you meet with Guardian will be in the dream sequence. If you take a prolonged rest in the area, the Baldur’s Gate 3 guardian gate will appear in front of you and the NPC will interact with you. Once you have met Guardian, you can now wish to meet him or not.
If you decide to meet him, you can do so by using the parasite’s Illithid power. This power is an ability in Baldur’s Gate 3 which enables you to meet the Guardian.
- Take advice from them on some situations and accept it
- Or ignore the advice from the NPC and take your own action.
You will spot the Guardian in Baldur’s Gate 3 multiple times including the cut scenes as well. One such interaction will be when the Guardian suggests not to completely take out the Mind Flayer‘s parasite. Now the choice is totally yours, you can either remove it or let it be there.
Players cannot play with the Guardian that’s why you cannot select the class of the NPC. Apart from this, the Guardian won’t fight with any character as well.
Guardian Encounters In BG3
Before You Start: In the early access of Baldur’s Gate 3, the wishes of the NPC can not be denied and they were to be agreed upon. Now, you have the option to either accept or deny their suggestion.
You can even customize the race, gender of the Guardian along with the general build. The customization also includes hair, voice, body type, and much more features. The first meeting with the Guardian will be in Act One. This is where he will instruct you not to remove parasites. You must decide whether to believe him or not.
If somehow you decide to take the Guardian’s advice and not remove parasites in Baldur’s Gate 3, you must intake more parasites. Taking the parasite will make you stronger. However, the relationship with other companions will deteriorate. Apart from this, your abilities and decisions will change a little bit due to consuming more parasites. The only restriction on the Guardian is that he can’t select the Dragonborn race but he can choose any of the other races.
A Trusted NPC But Not Controllable Companion
The Guardian is an NPC that can’t fight any battles and can’t play with you as well. You will custom-build this NPC at the start of Baldur’s Gate 3. The first interaction with the Guardian will be in early Act One where he will provide you with a suggestion.
The only task of the Guardian is to give you suggestions. You can either trust him and take his opinion or reject his opinion. But you must remember that if you interact with the Guardian multiple times, it will deteriorate your relationship with other companions. You can use the Guardian to take opinions about various situations when you feel like you are stuck on some mission.
