One Baldur’s Gate 3 player has found the Dark Urge origin character during their normal playthrough, and fans can’t believe they didn’t spot them before.
The Baldur’s Gate 3 Dark Urge origin character is filled with mystery when you first choose to play them, thankfully, as the story progresses players learn more about the character and their background. Naturally, these stories are just as disturbing as many would expect from a creature as twisted as this, but that’s not to say they don’t hold a soft spot in many hearts.
However, if you’re playing as traditional Tav, you usually won’t come across the Durge character, which is unlike the other origin options as they appear as companions. That was until one player spotted the recognizable twisted mind in their normal playthrough, and players can’t get over how fitting it is.
Baldur’s Gate 3 fans spot Durge location in Tav playthrough
“So that’s why the Durge isn’t anywhere in a Tav playthrough” posted one user on the Baldur’s Gate 3 Reddit. Along with the revelation, they posted an image of the typical Durge character lying dead in a bloody symbol of Bhaal, right next to Orin’s bed.
As many Durge mains will know, the Dark Urge was a Bhaalspawn, and was once the leader of the Cult of Bhaal, but they were quickly betrayed by their sister, Orin, and cursed with amnesia so she could take over the power. It seems in a normal playthrough, rather than being cursed and betrayed, they were simply murdered and used as an offering to Bhaal.

After posting the revelation, fans were shocked that they hadn’t previously spotted the recognizable character: “Wow how did I never realize that! I remember thinking there must be more to this story but it never clicked.”
Others found the offering to be pretty offensive, with many commenting: “Look how they massacred my boy” and “Damn bro, Orin really just left them there? Like smh, the least you could do is center the corpse properly you goddamn slob. Classic inbred shapeshifter behavior.”
Regardless of the slight misplacement of Durge’s body, adding in such detail only heightens the love for Baldur’s Gate 3, with many constantly discovering new secrets and easter eggs like this one.
