Be warned, she can be very protective of her past, and any questions about it will be treated with distrust!

Where to Find Shadowheart in Baldur’s Gate 3?

You will find Shadowheart trapped inside the Mind Flayer pod on the Nautiloid ship during the prologue. The easiest way to help her is to locate the key artifact in the room ahead of you, which will also open the locked chest situated in the same room as Shadowheart. To assist her, access the console next to her pod and insert the key artifact. You’ll need to pass a skill check, which should be easy regardless of your skill proficiencies. Once successful, she will be freed and temporarily join your party.

After the prologue, you can recruit Shadowheart on the beach, right next to where you woke up after the crash. Simply ask her to join your group. While she carries a protective demeanor over an artifact, she will be eager to join you in your search for a healer and a solution to the tadpole in both of your brains.
