The "Boon of Bhaal" in Baldur's Gate 3 refers to a specific blessing granted by the Lord of Murder. It is primarily associated with players who choose to embrace Bhaal's path, often culminating in becoming an Unholy Assassin of Bhaal.
Obtaining the Boon
There are a couple of key moments where a boon or status related to Bhaal can be acquired:
- Sarevok Anchev's Blessing: If the player character, particularly a Dark Urge, impresses Sarevok Anchev at the Murder Tribunal by accepting Bhaal and committing to his murderous ways, Sarevok may grant a blessing. This is often referred to as "Bhaal's Boon" or "Unholy Assassin of Bhaal."
- Orin's Defeat (as Dark Urge): For a Dark Urge player who fully embraces their lineage and defeats Orin the Red, Bhaal may personally grant a powerful boon, solidifying their status as his chosen.
Effects of Bhaal's Boon
The primary and most significant boon granted for becoming an Unholy Assassin of Bhaal is a permanent passive feature:
- A Most Bloody Scoundrel: This grants the character Advantage on attack rolls against targets that are Bleeding.
Additionally, fully committing to Bhaal as the Dark Urge and defeating Orin typically unlocks the Slayer Form, a powerful transformation with unique abilities. While not strictly "the boon" itself, it's a major reward for Bhaal's chosen.
Note: The exact name or manifestation of the "boon" can vary slightly depending on dialogue choices and specific game progression, but the "A Most Bloody Scoundrel" passive is the most consistent gameplay benefit tied to formally accepting Bhaal's favor through the Murder Tribunal questline.
