Sunwall falling and the crazed sun paladin

[Mankeli]

I watched a video where the Sun paladin, from who you get the Far East quests from, Aeryn or something attacks the PC before he tries to enter the final area of the game. It is supposed to have something to do with Sunwall falling or something.

How do I prevent this from happening? I'd rather not fight her with my dwarf cursed who will hopefully soon be finished with the rest of the prides.

If you fail to reach the end of the Charred Scar in time (if you're using a Ghoul without several +movement items, you have very high chances to fail it) , it will allow the sorcerers to complete their plan against the Gates of Morning.

When you'll be running in the High Peak, they will launch an attack and destroy the Gates of Morning.

Desesperate Aeryn will survive it though, and she will attack you at the end of High Peak, thinking you were working secretly for the sorcerers.
It's possible to still get her on your side, depending on your dialogue choices.

Now if you don't fail at the Charred Scar, the sorcerers plan will be beaten and the Gates of Morning will still stand at the end of the game, Aeryn will then be on your side for the final battle.

Thanks, that clarifies things!

Should I do the Charred Scar quest after I'm done with all the prides? The quest says it's urgent but I wiki says it really isn't and there is no time limit so I guess I should make the decision only based on which is easier -rest of the prides or Charred Scar.

Is there an achievement for doing in all three, Aeryn and the sorcerors?

[Robsoie]

No idea if there's an achievement i never killed both side, even my ghoul managed after kicking Aeryn to convince her i was still a good guy

For Charred Scar, it's not a difficult level in itself but the main problem is to get to the end of it before the countdown reach 0, and using teleport/phase door will not help as it will instead teleport you back near the start.

Continuous use and reuse of the Movement infusion will help in making it to the end easily before time runs out, but you can't really stop to fight every drakes you'll find on the way, as it takes time, and time is something you can't really afford.

Now for undead, you really need to have a few +movement items (as they can't use a movement infusion) , and ghouls need even more of those items to stand a chance to arrive before the countdown reach 0, i was using ghoul leap constantly and still arrive after the countdown reached 0

The path is full of tiles that will slowly burn your character, so be sure to get some regen/healing skills/runes

The boss is heavily using strong fire attacks and fire area of effect spells, so be sure to have good resistances there

[Mankeli]

My cursed has 70 % fire resistance (would go a bit higher but the cap is at 70 % ) with default equipment and rampage + movement infusions should help with the mobility issues.

I'm playing two other characters as well (both dwarves, one solipsist and one wyrmic) so the progress is pretty slow. Which is a good thing so I can constantly ask for advice .

dont know if theres an achievement coupled with killing the charred scar aeryn, but i kill her everytime after final battle and theres no achievement. she always attacks me after final battle, dunno why. pretty sure she did it without friendly fire

[Mewtarthio]

There's no achievement for killing Aeryn, in the High Peak or elsewhere, but defeating her on High Peak 10, sparing her life, and keeping her alive through the final battle is the only way to get the "High Lady's Destiny" achievement.
