There are plenty of rare cutscenes in Baldur's Gate 3, and players have just discovered a hidden flashback to Shadowheart's past in Act 1.
Baldur's Gate 3 is full of secrets that often provide insight into the companions' past. For example, the discovery of Tara, Gayle's Tressym, in the first part of Act 3. There are also others that foreshadow how the characters' pasts come into play later in the adventure.
And in fact, Shadowheart's past is one of the most mysterious of all the characters. In fact, she swears she doesn't remember anything. However, most fans can see a fascinating cutscene from this. It takes place while exploring the Ruined Village, one of the first scenarios of Act 1.

If players go to the mill where Barcus Wroot is tied up, they will see a destroyed Shar statue. This will automatically trigger a dialogue with Shadowheart, who is clearly fascinated by the statue. When players ask her what distracts her, she won't say anything. It simply points out that nature may offer other solutions. However, that's not all. In fact, fans were surprised to discover that there is another cutscene hidden in the ruined village that ties into Shadowheart's past.

The player also suggested getting a high approval rating from Shadowheart before triggering this scene. Otherwise, she will not describe how she felt after receiving the book and will dismiss all questions about it.
“I only saw the cutscene from the book once, and I never understood why I couldn't get it again. That's because I saved Barcus before collecting my Headband of Intelligence. » remarked one player.
Fans of Baldur's Gate 3 have actually pointed out that this scene can only be seen if players have not yet seen his reaction to destroying Shar's statue, as Baldur's Gate 3 only allows for one such callback per part.
