The Shadow Itself is a perk which causes the wearer to become Invisible for 2 turns whenever they kill an enemy. This is something that could be useful for just about any character or class. Rogues and Rangers are classes which benefit from being able to strike from the shadows. Spellcasters such as Sorcerers and Wizards could use the free Invisibility to get away from melee pressure. Even melee classes such as Fighters or Barbarians could have some fun when they run into a mess of enemies who can’t escape an enemy they can’t see.

How to Get The Deathstalker Mantle in Baldur’s Gate 3

The only way to get The Deathstalker Mantle in Baldur’s Gate 3 is by choosing the Dark Urge origin during character creation and then playing through the story of Act 1. The cloak is given as a reward by Sceleritas Fel at the end of a pivotal story scene which will happen at some point during Act 1. You cannot avoid this particular scene, it is part of the Dark Urge origin story and will happen sooner or later.

Additional Details for The Deathstalker Mantle

The scene after which you are given The Darkstalker Mantle will occur only following certain other story beats. The first step is to travel to the Druid’s Grove/ Emerald Grove. The Grove can be found in the east-central portion of the Act 1 map. You’ll have to move past the outer gate, through the Tiefling camp called the Hollow, and to the inner Sacred Pool where the Druids are chanting their ritual.

As you stand underneath the stone arch entrance to the area where the Druids are gathered, make a sharp left turn underneath another stone arch. And immediately after take a right and head up the hillside path. At the top you will find a bard named Alfira. Speak to her and play out the conversation however you wish.

What happens during your next Long Rest will mean the end of Alfira. The only way to avoid this, if you wish, is to hit her with a non-leathal strike in order to knock her out. Doing so will replace her with a different bard NPC that night. When next you Long Rest the Dark Urge will kill her. While you can save Alfira in particular if you want, you cannot avoid killing someone here.

After that Long Rest story scene, you can continue to play the game as normal. Or if you really want the cloak you can quickly Long Rest again. Depending on what other story scenes are in the queue, you might have to Long Rest a couple of times. Eventually, a night will play out where you finally meet Sceleritas Fel. A bit of dialogue will play out and at the end of the scene The Deathstalker Mantle will automatically be in your inventory.

Can You Get the Deathstalker Mantle Without Killing Alfira?

Yes, you can get the Deathstalker Mantle without killing Alfira in Baldur’s Gate 3. However, the story event where you kill a bard cannot be avoided, even if you decide you do not want the cloak.

To avoid killing Alfira, find her up above the Sacred Pool of the Druid’s Grove and hit her with a non-lethal blow. This will knock her unconscious and keep her from joining your camp at night. Instead, a brand new bard NPC will show up and ask to join. It will be her fate that is sealed, and with the act you will receive the Deathstalker Mantle.

The Deathstalker Mantle is a unique item that you can only receive if you play the game as a Dark Urge origin. A Dark Urge playthrough is a great way to go through the game a second time and have an entirely new roleplaying experience. While there are a few dark deeds that are set in stone, you are free to choose a redemptive or deadly path for your character. The traits of the Deathstalker Mantle cloak play into this, letting you cover yourself in darkness and invisibility anytime you make a kill.
