Objectives

Recruit allies in the fight against the cult

• Freeing ourselves of the parasite is proving more difficult than we imagined. We should be on the lookout for powerful allies - we'll likely need them in the fight to come.
• Volo has become a most loyal ally. His powerful words of encouragement are sure to be at our backs in the trials to come.
• Auntie Ethel is grateful for us letting her keep the child. We can rely on her help in the trials ahead.

Quest Compete

• The allies we've made on our journey have all gathered together - ready to lend us their power in the battle ahead. It is time to finish this - once and for all.

Factors

• Objectives for this quest are often mutually exclusive (i.e. those who choose to side with Minthara over Halsin would not receive these objectives in their quest log.)
• For all companions, they must be recruited in Act One and their personal story quests must be resolved for their objectives to be completed in Gather Your Allies.
