Slayer is a unique form that especially dedicated Bhaalspawn may assume in Baldur's Gate 3.

“
My Chosen. My Slayer. Violence incarnate. You will become a testament in blood.
 „
— Bhaal awarding a dedicated Bhaalspawn for their unwavering favor.


Violence incarnate

The Slayer form is a powerful ability granted to the most dedicated follower of Bhaal. It usually appears as a form Orin the Red takes during her boss battle, and functions very similarly to Wild Shape or being Polymorphed. The user of the form takes on all the statistics of the Slayer, and all of their actions are replaced by the Slayer's own. With a powerful multiattack, a distance-closing leap, a devastating single attack, as well as an action that can inflict bleeding, the Slayer is an especially powerful form allowing the user to tear through their enemies with ease.

Background HauntedOne Icon.png Spoiler warning! This section reveals interactions with The Dark Urge.

It is possible for The Dark Urge to obtain the ability during Act 2 by either killing Isobel, their lover, or the companion with the highest approval toward them. Alternatively, they can obtain this form during Act 3 by defeating Orin and accepting to become Bhaal's Chosen.

If they had already acquired the Slayer form before Act 3, The Dark Urge will be given the option to transform into it during their dialogue with Orin before their duel, in which case she will fight against them in her standard humanoid form. Conversely, access to the Slayer form will be permanently lost if The Dark Urge refuses to become Bhaal's Chosen after defeating Orin.
