The quest can also come to a close by moving on too far in [[Chapter Two]] or recruiting [[Karlach]] only to cause her to leave the party before you can finish the quest. In these cases the Quest Complete can read: | |||

At the far east of the Risen Road, you can find [[Anders]], [[Cyrel]] and [[Trynn]] holed up in a Toll House. Not far, down the cliff and across the stream, you can find [[Karlach]].

In any case, you'll have to take one party out. If you bring Karlach to Anders and attempt to leave him in peace, Karlach forces a fight; you can help either side. | In any case, you'll have to take one party out.

* Although Anders asks for Karlach's head, the quest can still proceed if Karlach despawns or her head otherwise becomes unobtainable. (For instance, Karlach is [[Knocked Out (Condition)|Knocked Out]] and the player [[Long Rest]]s, or the player kills her in a way that burns or disfigures the corpse.) The player can report to [[Anders]] that they weren't able to get her head but Karlach is still dead; he rewards the player with his sword as usual. | * Although Anders asks for Karlach's head, the quest can still proceed if Karlach despawns or her head otherwise becomes unobtainable.

==Consequences== | |||
Aside from the immediate rewards and possibility of obtaining Karlach as a companion, Karlach's fate results in some permanent changes for Wyll. If you sided with Karlach, [[Mizora]] shows up at [[camp]] to punish Wyll for reneging on his agreement to hunt all given targets, permanently disfiguring him with devil horns. If the player killed Karlach, she'll instead reward Wyll with the [[Infernal Robe]]. | |||
