==Objectives==

* Find the devil.

** We met a group of paladins of Tyr who are hunting a devil. Anders asked for our help - we agreed to search for the devil.

* Kill the tiefling.

** We met a tiefling who matches the devil's description. Now's our chance.

** The devil is actually a tiefling called Karlach. She told us that the paladins are actually servants of the archdevil Zariel who were sent to hunt her down.

** Zariel's followers want to kill Karlach. We need to protect her.

* Quest Complete!

** We defeated Anders.

* Confront the paladins.

** We decided to let Karlach join us. The 'paladins' will have something to say about it.

* Kill Karlach.

** We betrayed Karlach.

* Speak to Anders.

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:

** We left the area without helping the paladins of Tyr.

** We weren't able to deliver the devil's head.

** Without Karlach, we can no longer help the paladins of Tyr.

==Notes==

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

* Unsurprisingly, Anders is unable to reward you with the Sword of Justice if you've already pickpocketed it off him.

==Consequences==

Aside from the immediate rewards and possibility of obtaining Karlach as a companion, Karlach's fate will result in some permanent changes for Wyll. If you sided with Karlach, [[Mizora]] will show 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]].
