What is the Enemy of Justice condition in Baldur’s Gate 3?

The Enemy of Justice condition appears on a party member after they have killed a guard or committed a crime. When this happens, you will see a symbol that looks like a person in a crosshair next to the afflicted party member’s portrait. Luckily, this condition isn’t a debuff but it will affect how you play the game.

There are various acts throughout the game that can cause the condition to appear. First, killing any of the Goblin leaders at the Goblin Camp. These include Minthara, Priestess Gut, and Dror Ragzlin. Another action that can cause the condition is getting spotted by the paralyzed Tiefling named Pandirna in the locked storage shed in the Druid Grove. Other actions include stealing the Sacred Idol from the druids for Mol, killing the Harpers, as well as killing guards at any stage of the game.

This debuff condition doesn’t lower any of your stats. Instead, it makes any guards allied with the one you committed a crime against hostile toward you. For instance, committing a crime against the druids in the grove will cause the druid guards to see you as a threat.

If you want to remove the Enemy of Justice condition in Baldur’s Gate 3, you need to clear up any loose ends that you might have. For instance, if you killed Princess Gut in the first act, you might have some enemies still hidden within the Goblin Camp. Enemies like an ogre bodyguard are hidden in the priestess’ chambers.

The same can be said about the druids. If you commit a crime against them, they will try to fight you until all of them are dead. You may have to go inside the grove and defeat Nettie and Kagha who tend to remain inside. To sum it up, to remove the Enemy of Justice condition in Baldur’s Gate 3, you will need to either reload a previous save, continue on to the next act of the game, or tie up loose ends such as guards that are hostile toward you. Oftentimes, not even taking a long rest will cut it – you have to find other ways to get rid of the condition.
