Your companions in Baldur's Gate 3 also have their personalities, which sometimes leads to conflicts. Sometimes disagreements only appear during the first meeting, and other times can lead to the death of the entire group, as is the case if you take Slayer Form. However, there are more complicated conflicts, and the Lae'zel and Shadowheart quarrel is one of them.
Due to the presence of different points of view regarding the artifact, this conflict can lead to the death of one of the girls. If you want to watch it, you don't have to do anything. However, just a couple of suitable words can calm Lae'zel and Shadowheart and prevent a fight.

What Caused the Conflict between Lae'zel and Shadowheart in BG3?
The main reason for the conflict between the girls is your group's encounter with a Githyanki patrol near the end of Act 1. After accepting Lae'zel's quest and heading towards the Githyanki Creche, in due time, the players will reach the mountain pass, after which the girl will run to greet her clan members. You will not be able to avoid this dialogue, and regardless of the options you choose, you will learn that the Githyanki are looking for the artifact that is in the hands of Shadowheart.
The end of your encounter with Githyanki can lead to different outcomes, but the main problem will arise later. Of course, you won't give up an artifact that protects you from the influence of The Absolute. But Lae'zel is unhappy that Shadowheart owns an item that belongs to her clan, which leads to conflict during the next Long Rest.

Using the game's character creation tools, a Baldur's Gate 3 player gives their githyanki protagonist a makeover that would make Shadowheart jealous.
How to Stop Lae'zel & Shadowheart's Fight in BG3
Returning to camp after meeting with the Githyanki patrol, players will find a cutscene in which Lae'zel and Shadowheart argue about the artifact. Lae'zel insists that the item belongs to her people and wants it back. At the same time, Shadowheart makes a reasonable argument that this item protects your party from the influence of great evil.
Your choice during this dialogue does not matter since everything will end with the girls going to bed, and Lae'zel will schedule a duel that will take place in the morning. However, right after you fall asleep, you will wake up to a much more dangerous scene. Shadowheart holds a knife to Lae'zel's throat and wants to kill her. At this point, the player can make one of three decisions to stop Lae'zel and Shadowheart's fight in Baldur's Gate 3:
- Do nothing. - Inaction will result in Shadowheart killing Lae'zel.
- Shadowheart - stop. You don't have to do this. (Persuasion - 10) - If you can convince her to back off, everything will be fine in the morning. The duel will not take place, the artifact will remain in your group's hands, and everyone will remain alive.
- Move to attack Shadowheart. - If you attack her, you will have to kill her. Otherwise, she will kill you.
We advise you to choose the second option since this way leads to the most optimistic consequences. However, if you are playing an evil hero role, you can watch as Shadowheart kills Lae'zel. All in your hands.
