When encountering Yurgir in Baldur's Gate 3's Gauntlet of Shar, you'll need to decide whether to kill him or save him from his contract with Raphael. Here's what you need to know to make the best choice.

Killing Yurgir: Best Choice

• Maintains good relationship with Astarion
• Provides Infernal Iron for Karlach's quest
• Rewards you with Hellfire Hand Crossbow
• Gains approval from companions and Raphael
• Raphael reveals information about Astarion's marks

Saving Yurgir: Consequences

• Damages relationship with Astarion
• Requires high Persuasion checks
• Loses access to Infernal Iron
• May block Astarion romance path
• Ultimately futile as Yurgir makes new contract with Raphael

How to Kill Yurgir Effectively:

1. Throw bombs with Karlach
2. Lure enemies to ground level for better control
3. Counter invisibility with spells like See Invisibility or Fairy Fire
4. Use persuasion to make him kill himself (requires high Charisma)
5. Set up ambush using Mage Hand or Minor Illusion

How to Save Yurgir:

1. Navigate dialogue toward his contract
2. Investigate the marked area (X: -709, Y: -723)
3. Find "One Becomes Many and Broken Effigy"
4. Defeat rat swarms and final Justiciar
5. Return to Yurgir to break contract

For optimal gameplay outcomes and companion relationships, killing Yurgir is the recommended choice, as saving him provides no significant benefits and blocks several important quest opportunities.
