What happened? Twitch streamer Sirenkahls dives into the world of Baldur’s Gate 3 by taking on the role of a druid. However, she surprised her viewers with her very own approach when she unintentionally led her beloved companion scratches to her death. It quickly became clear that her approach as a druid was anything but ordinary.
Unexpectedly, Sirenkahls ended up in the fight with the dog scratches. She didn’t make the check and didn’t want to walk away either, so Scratches attacked her. Determined to incapacitate the hound without lethal force, she planned an attack that would only put scratches into a deep sleep. What she failed to realize was that such “non-lethal attacks were only effective in melee combat.” Instead, she pulled an arrow from her gun and shot the dog… with fatal consequences.

Sirenkahls accidentally kills Scratches and takes an evil path
What happened next? The arrow hit Scratches, and the faithful companion fell motionless to the ground. A moment of shock for the spectators, but also for Sirenkahls herself, who started screaming when she realized that scratches had really died. For players who don’t intend to kill Scratches: the dog is not only a loyal companion, but also useful in battle.
The fateful action revealed that she did not seem to be following the typical paths of a druid and perhaps even a dark power was growing within her. In her TikTok video, she describes herself as “the worst druid ever.”

What next? However, this was not the end of her story. When she finally reached the Owlbear Den, Sirenkahls then finally and impressively demonstrated her reputation as arguably the “worst druid” in Baldur’s Gate 3.
With a mixture of excitement and reckless action, she killed the owlbear cub’s mother, accompanied by an enthusiastic battle cry. Her impulsive decisions once again seemed to go against traditional druid values.
Shortly thereafter, a sad scene followed that touched the hearts of many players and brought back strong memories of The Lion King. In one poignant moment, the owl bear cub desperately tried to wake up his lifeless mother, fueled by hunger and loss. This moment of innocence and sadness made many a player emotional.

How did the story end? The story took a dark turn. The baby owl bear, who seemed so helpless before, suddenly started eating its dead mother.
A disturbing act that turned the already tense atmosphere of the scene into something sinister and macabre. The combination of lack of food and the hatchling’s instinct to survive resulted in this shocking act that left Sirenkahls speechless.
In Baldur’s Gate 3, you’ll have the opportunity to welcome both Scratcher and the Owlbear Cub as long-lasting companions to your camp. So it doesn’t have to end as bloodthirsty for scratches.
