Read in a separate article how to get all dark gems in Baldur's Gate 3.

В beginning of the conversation With Orton, there are several options for the development of events:

• “No action” and “Well, let's get down to business. I want to talk” - they will allow you to continue the conversation.
• “Attack” (approved by: Shadowheart) and “Run” will lead to battle.

Next, Yurgir smells the familiar smell of the half-devil, because of which Orton is locked in the Shar temple, to which he can respond with different remarks:

• “Wait, do you know Raphael?” and “I don’t understand what you’re talking about” will help continue the conversation.
• “Attack” and “Run” will start the battle.

When you hear personally from Orton that he is here because of Raphael, you can answer with the phrases:

• “Does he want you dead?” “I had some business with this devil. Maybe we can help each other?”, “There is nothing stopping you from leaving. I know how to get out of here” - lead to continuation of the dialogue and loss of approval points from Astarion.
• "Attack".

The following remarks are neutral:

• “Let's share everything we know about Raphael. Maybe we can help each other” and “Raphael could be anywhere. If you let me go, I will free you from your bonds” - Orton will consider this to be trading and warn that it is better not to joke with him, after which he will again mention the devil’s pact.
• “I’ve already said too much” - then you need to choose one of the three remaining answers.
• "Attack".

After the next peaceful response Astarion will warn for the last time that Yurgir must be killed, otherwise they will not know anything about the vampire’s scars:

• “You can’t say you’re free if you have to hang around here. Isn’t it better to be Raphael’s debtor?” “In legends, there is always a loophole in a contract with the devil. We just need to find her” - Orton will begin to sing the words of the contract about an oath with the extermination of all dark justiciars.
• “Are you afraid of some kind of agreement with the devil? I just can’t believe it,” Orton will notice the character’s distrust, and he’ll have to choose a different line.
• "Attack".

In response to any of the phrases, Yurgir will explain that everyone who heard the song must die:

• "Bravo".
• “You obviously won’t make a bard. It’s better to remain a killer.”
• “The words are quite bloodthirsty. Have you tried playing along with yourself on any instrument?”
• “So your agreement is a song?”

• “Raphael wants you to kill the dark justiciars? But why?" – you will additionally learn that the devil decided to draw up a detailed contract because of the aasimar.

  

After the mentioned remarks, you need to finally decide whether Orton will die in Baldur's Gate 3 or will be saved.

• “You need Raphael, not me” - Orton will say that he is greedy, therefore it is not enough for him to kill even both of them, after which he will need to make a different choice.
• “You know, somewhere in the temple there is a necromancer named Balthazar. Maybe you should kill him too? – Yurgir will declare that the necromancer is deader than the already dead dark justiciars, and he is not his goal, and then he will have to answer with one of the following phrases.
• Conviction [COP 16]: “You must be missing something. Let me search everything here properly” - the dialogue will end peacefully and the task will begin "Release Yurgir from the treaty" (do not approve: Wyll).
• Conviction [COP 16]: “There is a cunning trick hidden in the words of the song. You always have listeners - your servants. Get rid of them” and “Raphael is a cunning man, he deceived you. Your companions heard the song and are still alive” - in this way you can try destroy Yurgir and his minions through dialogue.
• "Attack" and defeat Yurgir in a fair fight.

During the dialogue, you will understand that Orton can be either killed or freed from the contract - Astarion will leave the team even if there is an affair with the character. For the elf, agreeing to a contract with Raphael is the only chance to reveal the meaning of the scars.

If save life Orton, in the third act he can become an ally in the battle with Raphael - one of the most powerful bosses in the entire game. Stick to this path if you want to resist the devil in the future. In addition, you will temporarily be able to trade with one of the merregons, but the monster’s assortment is poor.

• “No one is keeping you here” - approval Astarion falls, but with high relations he will remain in the squad, the conversation will end.

• Conviction [COP 14]: “Let's not quarrel over one disagreement. We still need each other” - whether he will leave depends on the result Astarion team.
• Deception [COP 16]: “Believe me, this is even for the better. Otherwise you would become a slave of the devil" - if successful Astarion will remain, and if it fails, will leave the group.

• The boss, together with the merregons, has complete immunity to fire damage and poison.

• Merregonov there are a lot of them and they can attack from afar, but even small opponents will not approach at once due to the narrow road. Borrow advantageous position in battle, for example, in a semi-enclosed space directly under the second floor - this way the enemies will not be able to reach.
• Elusive Beast can inflict great damage on a single target, is able to dodge spells and create copies, but the real one needs to be destroyed.

• Killing Orton alone is not enough, since after that you will need to destroy his minions as well.
• Yurgir goes to invisibility, but at the same time with a high probability remains at the same point. Damage him to remove the invisibility state.

• Orton's ranged attacks can lay the target flat.

During this time, you will have time to destroy the boss, but if necessary, do not forget to turn on the turn-based mode so as not to die from bombs after the battle.

• Orton Bombs can be moved and thrown at enemies, but opponents can use the same tactics.

• You can start the battle with detour, so skip the dialogue part. In battle, be careful so that the enemies do not bombard your team with Orton bombs due to the concentration of the group at one point.

• Conviction [COP 16]: “There is a cunning trick hidden in the words of the song. You always have listeners - your servants. Get rid of them."
• Conviction [COP 16]: “Raphael is a cunning man, he deceived you. Your companions heard the song and are still alive" - ​​an advantage is available if the speaking hero has class at the bar.

If the following phrase is successful, Yurgir will kill the two-tailed panther, Nessa:

• Conviction [COP 21]: “This is just the beginning: the escaping beast can hear you too, right? Kill her too."

When all his henchmen are dead, the melody will still play in his head, causing him to decide to kill himself.

• Conviction [COP 21]: “Dear hunter, isn’t it obvious to you? You must kill yourself - and then you will be free" (they approve: Shadowheart).

Kill Rewards

After the boss dies, don't forget to pick up "Find the Song of the Night". The Elusive Beast does not contain any items. You can take the following items from the boss:

• Hell metal.
• One-handed hellfire crossbow (gives a spell that allows you to release up to 4 rays of fire, also in a state of stealth or invisibility there is a chance to impose the “burning” status on the enemy).
