Hunt the Devil: Difference between revisions

'''Hunt the Devil''' is a [[quest]] in [[Act One]] of Baldur's Gate 3.  

If {{CharLink|Karlach}} is chosen as [[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. Other characters may speak with Anders as normal, but it is not possible to actually side with him.

At the far east of the Risen Road, there {{CharLink|Anders}}, {{CharLink|Cyrel}} and {{CharLink|Trynn}} can be found holed up in a Toll House. Not far, down the cliff and across the stream, the party can find {{CharLink|Karlach}}. Each asks the party to take out the other:

* Anders claims his group are Paladins of Tyr tasked with a holy mission to hunt down Karlach: a fearsome devil already responsible for killing other innocents. He'll ask for {{SmRarityItem|Karlach's Head|Karlach's head}}.

{{CharLink|Wyll}} has also been tasked with hunting Karlach by an unnamed party, and so if he's in the party he'll confront and threaten her. Either agreeing to take her out or convincing Wyll that he's been tricked into hunting a tiefling results in Wyll's approval, no Ability Checks are required.

* Casting {{SAI|Speak with Dead}} allows you to interrogate nearby corpses. The one in the room next to Anders confirms he is a fallen Paladin of Tyr, serving Zariel.

* If taking Karlach in the party and bring her to Anders, the two confront each other. An [[Insight]] Check or {{SAI|Detect Thoughts}} confirms he's the liar.

* If confronting Anders about serving Zariel, he'll drop pretenses and attack the party.

* If bringing Karlach to Anders and attempt to leave him in peace, Karlach forces a fight; the party can help either side.

In any case, one party has to be taken out.

Aside from the immediate rewards and possibility of obtaining Karlach as a companion, Karlach's fate results in some permanent changes for Wyll. If siding with Karlach, {{CharLink|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 party killed Karlach, she'll instead reward Wyll with the {{SmRarityItem|Infernal Robe}}.

*{{MdRarityItem|Sword of Justice}}, either as a parting gift from Anders or as loot from his body

* 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 party takes a [[Long Rest]], or the party kills her in a way that burns or disfigures the corpse.) The party can report to [[Anders]] that they weren't able to get her head but Karlach is still dead; he rewards the party with his sword as usual.
