As a dedicated Baldur’s Gate 3 gamer with countless hours invested into the game, I can’t help but feel elated and a tad hopeful about the upcoming Patch 7. The confirmation of new features like an official Mod Toolkit and evil endings is already exciting, but the potential addition of Alfira to my party has me practically jumping for joy.


Larian Studios has announced that the long-awaited Patch 7 is nearly here for Baldur’s Gate 3. This update promises exciting additions such as an official Mod Toolkit and new wicked endings, in addition to a brief hint at a “particular Bard” joining your team on a temporary basis.

As an eager fan, I couldn’t contain my excitement upon reading the latest patch notes. Though the developers didn’t explicitly mention Alfira as the upcoming addition, their description of a “mysterious new fix” in the “Dark Urge Bug Fixes” section left me feeling confident that she was the one joining our game world.

As a long-time fan of the Bard character from various games, I can understand the excitement and anticipation that comes with rumors and potential spoilers. Having spent countless hours immersed in these virtual worlds, I too have been bitten by the curiosity bug whenever there are hints about my favorite characters joining the roster. So if you’re pondering why this recent detail might signal the arrival of the Bard into your game, let me tell you from personal experience – it’s a thrilling prospect! However, beware that what follows may reveal information regarding Durge runs, and as such, could potentially spoil the surprise for those who prefer to discover new content in its intended order.

In Act 1, you’ll encounter Alfira for the first time at Emerald Grove. She’ll request assistance from you to write a song. If you’re controlling The Dark Urge, she’ll come to your campsite to join your journey. However, if you haven’t knocked her out in Emerald Grove, your character will end her stay at your camp by killing her during the night.

Players have discovered various methods to prevent Alfira, the cherished NPC created by Larian Studios in the game, from being killed. These strategies have not been addressed through patches by the developers, suggesting an acknowledgement of the community’s determination to protect her.

“Upon learning that this new feature will be included in Baldur’s Gate 3 with patch 7, a player expressed curiosity: ‘Could modders possibly make this a permanent addition?'”

As a passionate gamer, I’ve heard some intriguing theories from fellow fans about a potential update in the game. They speculate that this could open up new opportunities for modders to introduce an Alfira romance storyline. In fact, they went as far as suggesting that the developers may have intentionally hidden additional features, allowing Alfira to become a permanent companion.

It’s being speculated that Larian might introduce Alfira as a temporary NPC to motivate modders to employ the official Toolkit, enabling them to develop a more elaborate backstory for the Tiefling Bard character.

Players participating in Larian Studios’ Closed Beta testing have the opportunity to uncover the outcome for the cherished character, although an official confirmation is still pending from the studio.
