      @hazekaze 9 місяців тому +26

      It seems to be some sort of curse inflicted upon her when the shadow falls. She would die when she doubts her need of gold or the ability to get them (like convincing her that she’s about to be promoted elsewhere or fear enough to not get the gold)
      So I guess she died when she can’t get the gold, literally.

    In my playthrough, i just pushed her out of one of the broken walls (which broke half her armor) and just threw javelins at her until the rest of her armor broke and she died. She didn't even fight back, just stood there and let me kill her without even going into combat.
    But I got the achievement!

    • @JB-xl2jc
      @JB-xl2jc Рік тому +14

      If you give her 5000+ gold first, she gives you a unique item (it's not ACTUALLY super useful, but it's unique- it's a scroll of Flesh to Stone, but the stone texture is changed out for gold, and it is labeled something like Baldur's Gate Safe Passage Writ), and she's also WAY heavier so if you still successfully shove her off the ledge she takes like 500+ damage.
