Highlights
- Taking Connor to the final boss in Baldur’s Gate 3 is a tough accomplishment due to the Netherbrain’s difficulty and Connor’s fragility.
- Mayrina’s story in Baldur’s Gate 3 involves a quest to resurrect her husband Connor, presenting players with moral dilemmas and strategic choices.
- Players can prioritize gear over NPCs like Mayrina and Connor in Baldur’s Gate 3, strategically using the Bitter Divorce wand for tactical advantages.
A player has managed to reach the final boss fight in Baldur’s Gate 3 with Mayrina’s husband Connor in their party. It’s an incredible feat, given how fragile the zombie is and how challenging it is to defeat the Netherbrain, the final boss of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Mayrina is a recurring NPC in Baldur’s Gate 3 who appears in the first and third act of the game. Players can interact with her story, and the story of her husband by extension, in the save Mayrina Baldur’s Gate 3 side quest. Players first encounter Mayrina in Ethel’s teahouse, where she is forced to eat a pie by the Hag. No matter what choice the players make, fighting Ethel or making a deal, Mayrina will become upset with them due to her deal with the Hag to resurrect her dead husband. Players can fix this by finding the Bitter Divorce in the teahouse, and offering to resurrect Connor with the wand, which will bring him back as a zombie.

Baldur’s Gate 3: How to Defeat the Shadow-Cursed Shambling Mound
The Shadow-Cursed Shambling Mound is one of the hardest battles in the Shadow-Cursed Lands of BG3. Here’s how to defeat this enemy.
One Baldur’s Gate 3 player by the username PickledThimble posted a picture on Reddit proving that they brought Connor with them all the way to the final boss fight. Connor is a zombie minion, who is immensely useful during the early game, acting as a tank. His usage later on becomes a utility summon, due to his low stats. Seeing as the Netherbrain fight in Baldur’s Gate 3 is challenging even for a level 12 party in endgame gear, this achievement is even more impressive.
Baldur’s Gate 3 Player Prioritizes Gear Over NPCs
To achieve this, the player must have found the Bitter Divorce wand, and chose to keep it to themselves as one of the outcomes of the save Mayrina quest in Baldur’s Gate 3. This choice is purely strategic, prioritizing the acquisition of the Second Marriage wand over helping Mayrina and her husband. With this wand, the player can summon Connor at will, though his lifespan is limited to ten turns, requiring him to be resummoned after that.
All of these facts come together to make for an incredible feat, as the player either summoned Connor in the boss room, essentially wasting an action, or brought Connor alive to the boss fight in under ten turns. And they did all of that while protecting Connor, who is not among the best Baldur’s Gate 3 allies. As of now, the OP has not responded to the comments asking how they achieved this, leaving only speculation on their methods.
