A character may become branded by speaking to [[Gut]] in the [[Shattered Sanctum]]. After branding you, she will attempt to mentally connect to your parasite and ask you to join her in her private chapel. If you do this, [[Gut]] will no longer offer to brand additional characters.  
A character may become branded by speaking to [[Gut]] in the [[Shattered Sanctum]]. After branding you, she will attempt to mentally connect to your parasite and ask you to join her in her private chapel.


Any number of characters may receive the brand by switching the active character and speaking to [[Gut]] again (if she is still present in the main hall) or alternatively by speaking to [[Warlock Greez]].
After this conversation, [[Gut]] will no longer offer to brand additional characters, but any number of party members may receive the brand by switching the active character and speaking to [[Warlock Greez]].
 
As of Early Access Patch 9, there are no mechanical or story drawbacks to becoming branded, but this is unlikely to remain true in the full release of the game.
