It seems like we get new discoveries surroundingBaldur’s Gate 3almost every week, whether it be someonefinding out you’re able to cast Control Undead on the Thorms, or another wacky way tocompletely cheese Honor Mode. Not many of them have been staring us in the face since launch though, but that’s exactly what today’s discovery surrounding Kagha has managed.
You first meet Kahga in Act 1, as she’s taken over the Druid Grove due to Halsin’s absence and is attempting to perform the Rite of Thorns to abandon the nearby Tieflings and protect the Grove from the incoming Goblin invasion. you’re able to eventually find out that Kahga is actually a member of the Shadow Druids, a faction with an extreme devotion to nature and hatred of civilization that is attempting to take the Circle for themselves.
To figure this out naturally, players are required to jump through all kinds of hoops, but one Baldur’s Gate 3 fan has actually spotted a very subtle hint that tells you Kahga is a Shadow Druid as soon as you first come into contact with her. First discovered by Reddit user I_Ace_English, this hint comes in the form of Kahga’s clothing.
Every single Druid you come across in the Druid’s Grove is kitted out in some fancy threads with a vibrant grassy cloak covering their shoulders. Spotted by I_Ace_English, Kahga is the only Druid you come into contact with whose grassy cloak is dead and withered, implying that she’s different to the other Druids and outing her as a Shadow Druid. Kahga is also the only Druid to have an emblem on her chest that is blue with a silver leaf, while most other druids have a gold and green emblem.
She’s essentially wearing clothes that don’t match up with any other Druid around her, and while most assumed that it was different due to character design or her status as a stand-in leader, it does seem more likely that she just doesn’t roll with the same crowd, and wears the clothes to rather brazenly show it.
Reddit user xthelemurx even points out that there are some rats surrounding Kaghe when you first meet her that simply ignore you when you try to talk to them with Speak with Animals, which is another very subtle hint when you realize these rats are actually Shadow Druids in disguise. Give one a whack, and they’ll quickly turn back into human form, though you will have the entire Grove on your back.
