Thisobald Thorm is the son of Ketheric Thorm in Baldur's Gate 3, whom players can meet in Act 2 in the cursed village. Many of the encounters in this place are dangerous, so it's hard to expect anything good from this guy, especially considering his appearance. However, all he wants is a drink and a conversation, so if players give him one, they can avoid the battle and learn some interesting information. But unfortunately, it's very easy to anger Thisobald in Baldur's Gate 3, so for some gamers the battle will be inevitable. After that, players can get good rewards, but is it worth it?
This guide contains spoilers, so players should proceed with caution.
What Happens if You Drink With Thisobald Thorm?
Drinking with Thisobald Thorm is like walking through a minefield, since one wrong step and the fight will begin. If the players agree to drink, they have to actually drink alcohol or pretend to do so. In both cases, they will face plenty of difficult checks, so in order not to drink alcohol, it is worth starting the dialogue as Astarion or another character with a good Sleight of Hand stat. If the protagonists decide to drink for real, they will have to pass Constitution checks; otherwise, they will not be able to tell stories that will satisfy Thisobald due to being too drunk.
What if Players Fight Thisobald Thorm?
If one refuses to drink with Thisobald Thorm, he notices that he is being deceived, or he hears an unconvincing story, a battle will immediately begin. It will be quite difficult because he has a lot of health and also because the big guy has immunity to physical attacks. In addition, the ghouls around will become hostile and begin to attack the party.
Also, players will not hear the interesting information that Thisobald knows about his father. But from the body of Thisobald, they can loot a key that can open the door behind the bar. There, players will find weapons and a recipe for Purple Worm Poison, but still, it's definitely not worth fighting Thisobald for one particular reason described below.
Best Choice
Basically, after passing all the checks, players will avoid the fight and also learn information about the secret Ketheric Thorm's relic, which will be told by a drunk Thisobald. In addition, ghouls will remain peaceful, and the party will still receive the full amount of XP at the end of the conversation. In addition, the end of the conversation is one of the best storyline rewards for players for avoiding a fight because Thisobald Thorm will get so drunk that he will literally explode. After this unexpected self-elimination, one can also pick up the key for good rewards, so fighting Thisobald is definitely not worth it.
