<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* We recruited Wyll, a monster hunter known as the Blade of Frontiers. He is on a mission to kill Karlach, a powerful devil who is a danger to the entire Sword Coast.
* We met a group of paladins who seek Karlach, the very same target who Wyll is hunting. They provided us with her exact whereabouts.

* Wyll spoke ominously about a penance he must face. We should take a long rest when the opportunity strikes; there's clearly a lot the Blade of Frontiers isn't telling us.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* We met Wyll's diabolical patron, Mizora, who was none too happy to find that Wyll failed to slay Karlach. She punished Wyll for his disobedience by turning him into a devil and departed - though it seems likely we'll meet her again.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* Mizora appeared in the form of a projection to inform us that the Absolute cult abducuted an infernal asset of some importance to the archdevil Zariel. We should find and release them - Wyll's very soul hangs in the balance.
* We've delved deep into Moonrise Towers. We should search the area thoroughly - the devil that Mizora asked us to rescue must be nearby.

We've reach Wyrm's Crossing, on the outskirts of Baldur's Gate. We should keep an eye out for Mizora.

== Walkthrough==
'''Note that Wyll’s story spans the entire game, and has spoilers for all Acts of the game.'''

===Recruiting Wyll===
Wyll can be first encountered when he joins the fight outside of the [[Emerald Grove]]. Afterwards, the player can find him inside the grove training young Tiefling refugees. He can be recruited to the party, and will explain that he is hunting a devil named Karlach. 

===Hunt down Karlach===
The party can find Karlach down the hill from the [[The_Risen_Road#Toll_House|Toll House]]. Karlach can be spoken to and recruited, freed or killed. If Wyll is in the party, the two will have a confrontation. 

If Karlach is recruited to the party before speaking to Wyll, he will show up at camp to confront her. Wyll or Karlach can each be asked to leave, be killed, or the situation can be resolved peacefully. 

If Karlach is encountered and recruited without Wyll in the party, they will have a confrontation the next [[Long Rest]].

===Meeting Mizora===
During a long rest, Mizora will manifest at camp. If Karlach was killed, she will gift Wyll the [[Infernal Robe]]. Otherwise, she will punish Wyll and his appearance will permanently change.

===Rescue Zariel's Asset ===
Mizora will manifest either at camp or the entrance to [[Moonrise Towers]], this time to request that the party rescue one of Zariel's assets, who has been trapped at Moonrise Towers. During this conversation, she can be persuaded to end Wyll's contract in exchange for rescuing the asset.

Zariel's asset cannot be found in Moonrise Towers proper, rather they can only be saved after entering the [[Mind Flayer Colony]]. Here, the party can find Mizora herself trapped within a pod in the [[Tadpoling Centre]].

Mizora can be freed from the pod, or killed. However, killing her will '''also kill Wyll'''. If the party frees her, she can be persuaded to gift the [[Infernal Rapier]] to Wyll. If the party also tries to end Wyll's contract, she can relent, but will stipulate that it will take another six months for the pact to end.

===Mizora at Wyrm's Crossing===
After reaching [[Wyrm's Crossing]] in [[Act 3]], Mizora can be found loitering in Wyrm's Rock Fortress or just before the transition to the [[Lower City]]. She asks that the party attend Gortash's ordination. Afterwards, she will offer to save Duke Ravengard if Wyll keeps his contract. (See [[The Grand Duke]] for this sub-quest).

===The Great Wyrm===
If Duke Ravengard is successfully saved, he will give the party a quest to gather the aid of the great wyrm [[Ansur]]. Ansur can be found by travelling to [[Wyrm's Rock Prison]]. Here, travel down the western passage way to find two dragon sconces. Hit the sconces with electricity damage, then interact to light them. Past the new opening is the Wyrmway. 

After the [[Wyrmway|Wyrmway's trials]] are completed, Ansur can be found and fought. The party can then return to camp to inform Duke Ravengard.

If the Duke perishes, [[Counsellor Florrick]] catalyzes this part of the quest. 

If Ravengard is dead ''and'' Florrick is dead or still imprisoned, walking around the [[Lower City]] may trigger a [[Flaming Fist]] officer to approach and accuse Wyll of having killed his father. Wyll retorts that this is disinformation being spread by Mizora. Talking the Fist down will result in her providing the necessary information to begin this stage of the quest.

== Rewards ==
* {{RarityItem|Infernal Robe|30}} if you recruit [[Wyll]] and kill [[Karlach]]. [[Mizora]] will give you this on the following [[Long Rest]].
* {{RarityItem|Infernal Rapier|30}} for freeing [[Mizora]] below [[Moonrise Towers]], if you have [[Wyll]] in your party and persuade her to give you a reward for your troubles.
* {{RarityItem|Balduran's Giantslayer|30}} after slaying Ansur
* {{RarityItem|Helm of Balduran|30}} after slaying Ansur
