BG3 Malus Thorm Dialogue Options
You’ll walk in on Malus Thorm teaching his nurses. He’ll bid you to come forward and feel free to take in his lessons as well. You will have the following options to respond, with possible minor differences based on Class:
- I don’t wish to study, only to lift the curse on this land.
- A student, yes. Do please enlighten me.
- You will stop this sick spectacle at once.
- What wrong has this man done to deserve such torture.
- Attack.
All above dialogue options, excluding Attack obviously, will eventually lead to the below choices, again with possible differences based on Class. After his ode to Shar, he’ll offer to cure you too, to which you can respond with the following:
- [INVESTIGATION, DC 14] Examine the sisters and their implements. (Rogues will have advantage on this check)
- [RELIGION, DC 16] Recall what you know of Shar’s teachings. (Shadowheart: The Goddess has greater plans for me than to submit to your scalpels.)
- [PERSUASION, DC 16] The sisters aren’t ready. They’ll make me sick instead of curing me.
- Attack.
A successful check on any of the above will lead to Malus pondering how to better train the nurses. If you have NOT read the book "Surgery and Physiology: A Sharran's Primer" found in the small room at the rear of the House of Healing (X: -199 Y: 78) you will have the following choices:
- [PERSUASION, DC 21] The sisters require a willing volunteer, a master of the art. - Outcome: Nurses kill Malus (Nurses will be neutral)
- [PERSUASION, DC 21] Why not have them hone their skills on each other? - Outcome: Malus orders nurses to kill each other.
- [ROGUE][PERSUASION, DC 21 + Advantage] Practice - that's how I got good with a blade. They should spar with each other. - Outcome: Malus orders nurses to kill each other.
- Attack.
If you HAVE read the book "Surgery and Physiology: A Sharran's Primer" found in the small room at the rear of the House of Healing (X: -199 Y: 78) it will unlock a different conversation path:
- [INTIMIDATION, DC 18] I have read your treatise. Initiate the final lesson, or die by my hand. Outcome: Nurses kill Malus (Nurses will be neutral)
- [PERSUASION, DC 18] "Only with sacrifice is mastery gained." For the sisters to learn, you must submit. Outcome: Nurses kill Malus (Nurses will be neutral)
- [PERSUASION, DC 21] Why not have them hone their skills on each other? - Outcome: Malus orders nurses to kill each other.
If you successfully persuade Malus to have the nurses turn on each other, he now wishes to acquaint you with Shar. There will be a final dialogue check, again, potentially different based on Class which all result in Malus killing himself, if successful:
Shadowheart: [CLERIC] [DECEPTION, DC 21 + Advantage] You do me an honour, but I am not worthy. Show me the way of Shar - I beg of you.
Sorcerer: [SORCERER] [DECEPTION, DC 21 + Advantage] My magic has blinded me - I see now that Shar is the only path. Show me how - I beg of you.
Bard: [BARD] [PERSUASION, DC 21 + Advantage] I am not worthy! Please, show me how a mater works - I would be honoured.
General/Default: [PERSUASION, DC 21] I would rather acquaint myself - if you show me how.

Fighters also get advantage on convincing Malus to off himself.
[Fighter] [Deception] I am but a fumbling squire before a master swordsman. Please, demonstrate so that I might learn.

The only one of the Throm children who can be controlled by an oathbreaker paladin. However, controlling Malus is less effective than you'd think, since most of his melee effectiveness packed into the surgery room with his assistants' weapons. He's also has a low movement speed, making him even less effective in combat. But it's still worth trying to control him if you end up in combat as it instantly ends the fight

SPOILER (I don't know how to make it an actual spoiler thing))
I found a response not listed above.

I don't think I read that book, but I got a Monk option. Something about observing a master at work, and then he ordered the nurses to satisfy (kill) him.

For anyone wondering, there is exact same XP bonus for convincing sisters to kill them selves (90xp each) and than convincing Malus to kill himself (280xp), as it is if you would just attack and kill them conventionally,
however killing finishing quest thru persuasion checks earns you inspiration on both Main Char and Laezel,
while killing them by sword earn inspiration only for Wyll.
There is also notable commentary by monk from Mad Monk trapped inside Sentient Amulet.

Terrible description of the quest line. Please update this crap
I usually feel that dialogue rolls to beat a boss feel like a cheat (despite the requirements being very high), but this one is great because you are gifted a cool cutscene when you succeed.
