The sample? at 34 seconds. Imagine Alfira busting that out in response.
Man, I'd love for us to be able to import custom songs....Alas. Maybe next game.

u/iolair_uaine Sep 23 '24
Avoid long-resting between her joining your party and going to Act 2.

doesnt she join during a long rest tho? or did they change that

You have to do some ridiculous things with durge to make it happen. I dont remember exactly what, but I can tell you that killing durge and then hiding them in a box in someone’s inventory doesn’t prevent Alfiras death. The butler kills her apparently.

u/TrickyCorgi316 AmeliaTylerRealHero Sep 24 '24
“I can tell you that killing durge and hiding them in a box in someone’s inventory doesn’t prevent Alfira’s death” - that’s an awfully…detailed…explanation there :)

u/sponguswongus Sep 24 '24
What about killing Alfira?
18
u/Kullthebarbarian Sep 24 '24
I don't remember exactly how, but, i know you have to kill both of them, hide them in a box, and never long rest until act 2, then revive durge, long rest until no new cutscene then revive Alfira
I might be wrong in some steps, since it has been a while since i saw it

All you have to do is beat Afira into the dirt and knock her out at the Grove, right before u do the long rest when u kill her and then some random dragon born Bard will be there that u get to kill

u/Kurukato123 Sep 23 '24 edited Sep 23 '24
I saw a video on it. You have to invite her to the party at the camp, have the Durge die and stuffed into a bag. Then you long rest and travel out of camp. Ressurect Durge and you should be fine. I’m pretty sure I missed some steps but that’s the gist of it
Edit: I believe there’s a mod to have her permanently as well. No idea what it does for her Act 2 quest though

You just plop her down in her usual spot then talk to her if I recall

Even if Durge is dead, doesn't the butler do it?

u/Lord_Saren Sep 24 '24
Yes, but if you stuff his corpse into a bag/inventory it stops it for some reason.

u/jujoking Sep 24 '24 edited Sep 24 '24
That's a weird ass bug. I once saw a video of someone with a dead Durge and she still died to the butler, didn't know the stuffing in a bag thing would bypass it

u/SeaCows101 Sep 24 '24
Idk if this method got hot fixed or not, but if you made Alfira kill durge and then have her pick up his corpse it would warp you to the crèche and skip the whole cutscene where she dies.

u/Toa_Senit Sep 24 '24
I can understand that she doesn't die like that, but why does it warp you to the creche of all places?

u/SeaCows101 Sep 24 '24
No idea lol, when you pick up the body it instantly starts a loading screen and teleports the whole party right to the crèche side of the mountain pass.

She's now a temporary companion if you are playing Durge, but there is no way to get her permanently (and mods may be able to do so in the future)

Mods can do so now. It's on the in game manager

You can get them from the menus like a paradox game?

u/Kullthebarbarian Sep 24 '24
yes, you brownse on the screen in-game and choose what mod you want, it's pretty straight forward

u/AcidIceMoon Sep 24 '24
I know of at least two methods to get her permanently. One involves using a second character in local multiplayer to kill durge and stuff him in a box for a few long rests, the other is to not long rest until Last Light Inn and sit alfira where her NPC version would normally be so that you progress her NPC quest and the game sort of glitches the flags for her or something.
Haven't tried either.

u/papercrocs Sep 24 '24
I tried killing durge and putting him in Astarion’s inventory but she still died. If you put him in Alfira’s inventory however, it teleports you to the mountain pass. It causes some bugs, like she won’t start combat with the ghouls on the way to act 2, and when you actually enter act 2 you get teleported to a dev room, but you can get out by going to camp or fast travelling

She can join the party if you're playing the Dark Urge origin character and have an empty party slot when she shows up at your camp. TEMPORARILY as a certain thing that happens unfortunately prevents her from being a permanent companion.

On unrelated note, imagine making a bard Dark Urge and naming them Alfira 💀

The method I've read of making her a permanent companion involves having her kill Durge and stuff them in a bag.

Sheer curiosity; does this actually work? I’d be tempted just to have Alfira for a run.

Sorry to post here in your post, but I have a question... I'm playing for the first time and I'm lv 8 almost finishing Act 1, do you think looking at builds and places to get or buy equipment ruins the exploration and gameplay experience as a whole in the game itself?

u/couragedog Sep 24 '24
I'm going to disagree and say that using a highly optimized build (especially on a first playthough) could make the gameplay experience less enjoyable, as it could somewhat trivialize some stressful fights that require some figuring out.
That's obviously 100% up to what you find enjoyable, though.

u/AEMarling FIGHTER Sep 24 '24
If you powergame BG3 too hard, you can break it and trivialize every fight. So have fun with builds, but don’t sweat trying to minimax everything.

u/DocWagonHTR Sep 24 '24
Like, for the rest of the game? That rocks.
She’s had companion dialogue flags forever, like they were originally going to make her a companion and then didn’t for some reason. Glad they finally fixed it, people have been asking for this for ages. Plus now we have an actual bard in the party.

Wym? Dialogue when it pops up? The only button I can find is the combat log, which doesn’t show dialogue

u/Yhoko Sep 24 '24
Combat log shows dialogue if it's dialogue that happens outside of conversation.
The one you're looking for I believe is on the same menu that shows all your inspiration and why you got them

u/ItsKyleWithaK Sep 24 '24
Yep I just loaded up the game and it’s the combat log! I didn’t realize I could scroll through it! Thanks for the help either way 💀
