BG3: How to Break Yurgir’s Contract

After starting a dialogue with Yurgir, you will know that Raphael tricked him into killing the Dark Justiciars and made an eternal contract with him. So, if you have chosen the path of justice and want to break Yurgir's Contract, these are the options you need to choose in the dialogue:

1. Wait - you know Raphael?
2. He wants you dead.
3. Let’s share our experiences about Raphael. Perhaps we can help each other.
4. Show me this contract. Perhaps there’s something you missed.
5. Raphael wanted you to kill Dark Justiciars? Why?
6. It’s Raphael you want, not me.
7. There’s a necromancer called Balthazar elsewhere in the temple - perhaps he’s the one you need to kill.
8. (Persuasion) There must be something you missed. Let me search this place for you.

After the dialogue, go to the lower level of the Gauntlet of Shar. Head west from the center of the Yurgir throne chamber. Go down the cragged rock to get to the statue's feet. The coordinates of the place you need are X:-719, Y:-725.

Then do the following:

1. Interact with the book One Becomes Many, which is located at the feet of the statue. It will have a note from Raphael.
2. Interact with the broken image.
3. After that, a rat will appear, attack it and be prepared that their number will increase many times over, and you need to defeat them all.
4. The last of them will turn into the Dark Justiciar, who must not be left alive because he is the key to breaking Yurgir's Contract. Since he is alone, it will not be difficult for you.

Go back to Yurgir to tell him that you've stopped the contract, although Raphael will keep coming back with offers of a new contract. We must note that your companion Astarion will not be that happy because you did not fulfil the agreement with Raphael.
