'''Hunt the Devil''' is a [[quest]] in [[Act One]] of Baldur's Gate 3. [[Anders]] and his group at [[the Risen Road]] claim to be Paladins of Tyr hunting the devil [[Karlach]]. Karlach claims to be a tiefling fleeing the Hells from servants of [[Zariel]]. Decide who to help. | |||
If Karlach is | If Karlach is the [[Origin]] character, this quest is not available but Anders' group is still located at the Risen Road. If spoken to while Karlach is present, a fight breaks 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. | ||

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]]. | ||
