How to Find and Use Soul Coins in Baldur's Gate 3

Soul Coins not only represent a form of currency in the Nine Hells, but they are also used to power potential companion Karlach's Infernal Engine which was put in place of her heart against her will by the archedomon Zariel. When Karlach consumes Soul Coins it provides her with a damage boost. To use a Soul Coin you need to do the following:

• Step 1:

  Make sure the coin is in Karlach's inventory. Only she can use them.

• Step 2:

  Open up Karlach's inventory

• Step 3:

  Right click on the Soul Coin

• Step 4:

  Select 'Consume'

If done correctly Karlach will instantly burst with a fiery flame effect and she will now have the Infernal Fury Condition which will grant her attacks an additional 1-4 Fire damage while she is Raging or her HP drops below 25%.

This effect applies to both Karlach's weapon and unarmed attacks. It is important to remember when using the Soul Coins that you make sure Karlach maintains a state of Rage or you won't see the extra benefit. The Infernal Fury effect will last until the next Long Rest.

Moonrise Towers:

• If Karlach is a member of your party, engage in a conversation with the Bugbear NPC, Lann Tarv. Lann narrates three moving tales about trapped souls. For every story that you actively listen to, you will be awarded a Soul Coin that holds each entity.

Lower City:

• During Act 3, while on a mission to find Thrumbo, go to the designated location and unlock a stone door situated to the west of the house. The Soul Coin can be found on a table toward the eastern end of the upper house, surrounded by body parts. Be aware that this area is guarded by ghoul enemies.
