Players must participate in many quests and in a few of them, players will have many choices. One of the choices players need to make during one of the quests is whether to Free Orpheus or Not. This choice is important as this will determine the final boss fight and the players’ ability to defeat the Elder Brain. This guide will show you what is the “correct” choice and what happens when players choose to Free Orpheus or Not in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Free Orpheus from Jail or Not
Arguably one of the most important characters in the game, Orhpeus is behind the prison. He is captured there by the Emperor and the relationship between players will be determined by the player’s choice:
- Free Orpheus from the prison
- Not free Orphrus from the prison
If players decided to free Orpheus from prison, these are the ramification or results they will see/face:
- Orpheus was captured by Emperor so freeing him means going against him
- This will also make the Emperor side with the Elder Brain and players have to fight against both of them now
- Even tho, Githyanki Prince is not happy about the decision but he will be willing to work with players and their groups to help fight against the Elder Brain
If players decided to not free Orpheus from jail, these are the ramification or results they will see/face:
- This decision means players have decided to side with the Emperor and will fight alongside them
- Players will then also have to decide between the Emperor and himself about what to do with the Netherstones
- This will also mean the Emperor or Players or Karlach will consume the powers of Orpheus
- This simply means that, if players are not freeing Orpheus, he will die as a sacrifice to Emperor or Players or Karlach.
