A new Dungeons & Dragons lore book has provided fresh details on the fate of everyone’s favorite Baldur’s Gate 3<\/a> barbarian tiefling \u2014 and officially confirmed a happier canon ending than the game itself provides. <\/p>\n

Warning!<\/strong><\/em> Baldur’s Gate 3 spoilers follow…<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Within Baldur’s Gate 3 itself, a range of possible finales are possible for Karlach, your companion whose mechanical heart always seems on the brink of shutting down. <\/p>\n

Indeed, without intervention, players can watch Karlach tragically burn up as her infernal engine finally combusts, or alternatively sacrifice herself and become a Mind Flayer. Another option, meanwhile, sees the player convincing Karlach to depart Faer\u00fbn to live in Avernus and hope for a more permanent cure \u2014 leaving the character’s ultimate survival open to debate.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Now, fans think they finally have an answer for what happens next if Karlach does go back to Avernus, thanks to the canon Astarion’s Book of Hungers D&D Expansion. This book confirms that a pair of other D&D installments that feature Karlach are set post-Baldur’s Gate 3. Therefore, canonically, Karlach survived for several years after the game’s epilogue, and is back in Faer\u00fbn.<\/p>\n

“Progressing the year to 1501 and having Karlach in the city again implies she gets her engine fixed in canon,” social media user RenMasaoAnkoku wrote, as spotted by GamesRadar+<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Them progressing the year to 1501 and having Karlach in the city again implies she gets her engine fixed in canon https:\/\/t.co\/A8akZTyUzQ<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Ren Masao Ankoku (@RenMasaoAnkoku) November 12, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The post shares an official timeline of fellow companion Astarion’s life that places “the events of Baldur’s Gate 3” in 1492, by Dalereckoning (DR). Meanwhile, the events of Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faer\u00fbn and Forgotten Realms: Adventures in Faer\u00fbn \u2014 in which Karlach appears \u2014 take place three years later, in 1501 DR.<\/p>\n

This fits with what we already know of Karlach’s possible future should she be convinced back to Avernus. In the game’s epilogue, set six months later, Karlach mentions a recent adventure where she obtained a set of blueprints offering a possible solution for her infernal engine. Seemingly, then, these worked \u2014 for another few years, at least \u2014 to allow her back to Faer\u00fbn and hopefully another reunion with your party.<\/p>\n

Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian may be done with major updates, but it’s still releasing occasional hotfixes<\/a>. The bulk of the studio is meanwhile working on what’s next for the company \u2014 though it won’t be Baldur’s Gate 4<\/a>. Still, it’s expected that another studio will eventually make a sequel<\/a> to the hugely-successful role-playing game. Here’s hoping Karlach once again pops up in that.<\/p>\n\n
