Romancing Karlach is a tricky task, though, because she’s quite literally hot.
So hot, in fact, that she sometimes can’t even touch others without burning them.
In this guide, we’ll break down how to romance Karlach inBaldur’s Gate 3.

You’ll first encounter Karlach on the Risen Road during Act 1.
For most, this will occur during Wyll’s Hunt the Devil quest line.
To find Karlach, you must first find Anders, who claims to be a Sworn Knight of Tyr.
At this point, you’ll have the choice to side with her or Anders.
Succeed here, and you’ve got the option to invite her as a companion.
To earn her affection, you’ll need to earn her approval and help her halt her condition.
Otherwise, her approval rating of you will sink when she learns what you did.
As a party member, you’ve got the option to empower Karlach with Soul Coins.
But due to her Infernal Engine, she will overheat, making it impossible to touch her.
You will want to ensure that Dammon doesn’t die, as this will significantly distress Karlach.
Initially, Dammon’s efforts are a makeshift solution.
You’ll need to find him again later in the game to finish the job.
That’s everything you’ll need to know to romance Baldur’s Gate 3’s Karlach.
