As promised recently, Larian has released Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7 on PC. This heavy update (11.6GB in size, but you’ll actually need 160GB of free space on your drive to install it) was highly anticipated mainly because it finally adds those evil endings players have been waiting for. There are 13 of those that include cinematics, as well as unique endings for Origin characters.
The other major addition of Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7 is undoubtedly the public release of mod tools. The editor is a separate app that can be downloaded via Steam at this URL. You’ll have to make sure that DLC is enabled through the store page and that ‘Tools’ is checked in your Steam Library to make the application visible once installed.
For those interested in Baldur’s Gate 3 modding, Mod.io offers a series of tutorials and guides. The game now also officially supports some scripted mods using Osiris, Larian’s in-house scripting language. This means that mod authors can load their own scripts, handle build errors, and even do some basic debugging. Mods can be published straight from the toolkit, making it seamless.

Furthermore, Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7 introduces a built-in mod manager. This allows users to easily browse mods made with the toolkit, install them without having to move out of the game and check that everyone has the same mods installed in a multiplayer party.
The game itself also received some improvements. Honour Mode, for instance, has seen the introduction of new Legendary Actions and other fixes:
- If Dror Ragzlin finds himself inside the spider pit, he’ll try his best to befriend the spiders residing there with a new spell called Arachnid Compulsion so they can band together to fight the real enemy – you.
- The Bulette has a new condition called Diamond Scales and a new Legendary Action called Shredding Scales.
- Malus Thorm has a new Legendary Action called Grasping Appendage.
- Added a new aura and spell for Spectators: Panicked Sentinel and Ocular Nightmare, respectively.
- Ch’r’ai Tska’an, the leader of the githyanki ambush in Act II, has a new Legendary Action called Soul Sacrifice.
- Ch’r’ai Har’rak, the githyanki leader at the Knights of the Shield Hideout, has a new Legendary Action called Tu’narath’s Embrace.
- Ptaris has a new Legendary Action called Ptarian Dogma.
While Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 7 is live on PC, Mac and console players must wait until October. After this update, there will be two major features left on the roadmap: cross-play and photo mode. Beyond that, fans of the game can only expect small fixes while the bulk of Larian is busy with their new projects.
