Is Valeria Worth Killing in Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3)?

At some point in Act 3 of BG3, you will have to choose between killing Valeria and Sarevok. If you haven't advanced this far in the game, you should return here later since this guide contains some spoilers for the third Act of the game. Returning to the original question, if you choose not to kill the monster, you will get an annoying elephant as an ally. You create some enemies in the meanwhile, but you also reap some respectable rewards. But in Baldur's Gate 3, there are repercussions for both decisions, thus this is whether or not you murder Valeria.

In BG3, Should You Kill Valeria?

No, ideally you should kill Sarevok and forego murdering her. Here's what you stand to gain, as much as possible without giving anything away:
  • Valuable loot that consists of Sword of Chaos and Horned Helmet.
  • Valeria is an ally in one of the upcoming quests.
If you have excellent character, this is the way to go. After you murder Valeria, if you don't mind being bad, this is what happens:
  • You will accept Sarevok’s decision and won’t have to fight him in a boss battle, so your story progression will be faster.
  • You become the Unholy Assassin.
That's the only thing that occurs when you murder her. Naturally, Sarevok also begs you to look after Orin after you murder Valeria. You battle Orin regardless of whether you choose to support Valeria or Sarevok, so don't worry.

After murdering Valeria in Baldur's Gate 3, is it possible to kill Sarevok?

Indeed! You can murder Sarevok for his treasure if you feel awful about murdering one. This even occurs narratively: You go to Bhaal after killing Orin, and you are selected by him. You will have the opportunity to take his treasure when you return to Sarevok after this has happened and he fights you.In conclusion, if you want to advance quickly in BG3, you should murder Valeria. Alternatively, you may kill Sarevok to get his wealth. However, Sarevok may always be killed after Valeria. Check out our tutorial on using Mage armor in this game while you're here.
