In Baldur’s Gate 3, Soul Coins have a couple of primary uses:
- Powering Karlach: If Karlach is a companion in your party, she can consume a Soul Coin to activate her Infernal Engine, granting her the Infernal Fury condition until her next long rest.
– This buff adds 1-4 fire damage to her melee attacks when she’s Raging or her HP is below 25%.
– Since Patch 2, this also adds 2-8 fire damage to all unarmed strikes, regardless of rage or HP, [according to PC Gamer].
- Selling: Soul Coins can also be sold to merchants for a good amount of money if you don’t need or want to use them for Karlach.
In short, the most significant use of Soul Coins in Baldur’s Gate 3 is to empower Karlach and enhance her combat abilities. While they can be sold, using them to boost Karlach’s performance is often the more impactful choice, especially considering their rarity.
