This page is about Dorn Il-Khan's companion quest in Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition.
| “ | A brooding half-orc at the Friendly Arm Inn mistook me for a servant. I had half a mind to tell him where to stick his jutting teeth but decided against it. He looks like the sort who'd be handy in a fight. Perhaps we'll meet again under more favorable circumstances. | ” |
Questline[]
A False Start[]
- See also: How Rude!
Dorn fighting vs Senjak and Dorotea.
Starting this questline requires that the party has talked to Dorn before on the first floor of The Friendly Arm[2], and that they travel to the Nashkel Mines from one of Nashkel, the Carnival, Fire Leaf Forest, or the Gibberling Mountains.[3] Any other method of getting there will not yield his appearance. The party will be waylaid by brigands led by Senjak and Dorotea, Dorn's former companions. Dorn charges in, clearing three bandits before the fight starts. After the bloodshed, he offers to join you.
Charmed, I'm Sure[]
Wander around with Dorn long enough and he'll eventually comment on his vendetta. His next target is necromancer Kryll, another of his former companions, which leads you to Nashkel. It's not really necessary to wait until Dorn talks about his next target, though. Speak to Taris outside the Nashkel Inn, then head to the Gibberling Mountains.
Kryll animated dead from villagers' corpses.
Kryll is expecting Dorn near a blood-stained rock (x=2550, y=1500). After satiating Dorn's thirst for her blood, find a letter for Dorn from Kryll's body and trace it back to Taris to inform her about the misfortune of her husband. Should you wish to choose it, the last dialog option kicks off a forced sequence of responses aimed to torment her with a series of gruesome, although grimly whimsical and honest, details of her husband's demise which eventually leads her to turn hostile. Killing her results in a major reputation penalty.
Another One Bites the Dust[]
When the party reaches Wyrm's Crossing, Dorn will remark on the proximity to his last former comrade and a revenge opportunity.
Simmeon addresses Dorn before the fight begins.
Prepare ahead as Simmeon awaits you north of the inner side of the bridge (x=1090, y=290). It is important to note however that the bridge section where Simmeon awaits will not be accessible prior to Chapter Five. Simeon will summon two Thralls of Azothet and is accompanied by a mage named Sheila and an unnamed priest.
- Priest: Elven Chain Mail, Quarterstaff, 20
- Sheila: Scroll of Minor Globe of Invulnerability, Scroll of Vampiric Touch, Scroll of Domination, Scroll of Shocking Grasp, Scroll of Magic Missile, Scroll of Flame Arrow
- Simmeon: Fallorain's Plate, Golden Girdle of Urnst, Albruin, Large Shield

After the fight, Dorn will talk more. From this point forwards, he'll gradually (based on in-game time) fill you with his tales, and his romance route will become open to Gorion's Ward.

We Meet Again[]
- Quest Continues (if you accept Dorn as a companion):
I have recruited a blackguard by the name of Dorn Il-Khan. He is tracking down members of an old adventuring party that wronged him. He seems to be a thoroughly cruel man. I shall have to keep my eye on him during our journey together.
Kryll — Charmed, I'm Sure[]
- Quest Title: Dorn Il-Khan
- Entry Title: Charmed, I'm Sure
- Quest Continues:
Taris has pointed us somewhere east of Nashkel. Her husband, along with several others, seems to have fallen under the spell of the sorceress Kryll. Dorn is eager to track her down.
Simmeon — Another One Bites the Dust[]
- Quest Title: Dorn Il-Khan
- Entry Title: Another One Bites the Dust
- Quest Continues:
We have slain Kryll, and Dorn stands one step closer to his final vengeance against his betrayers. Kryll possessed a note from the final member of his old adventuring party, Simmeon. Simmeon seems to be awaiting her outside the entrance to Baldur's Gate.
- Quest Completed:
All this business with Dorn seems to be over. He has slain the last of his foes, a man by the name of Simmeon who apparently had also taken on the mantle of blackguard. Without his desire for vengeance to propel him forward, Dorn seems to be adrift, with no further ambition but to continue traveling with me.
