The Outcast quest in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has you look for an NPC named Forn who’s hunting a cultist woman. The two crossed paths before, but he couldn’t kill her then. Now, he’s looking for her again to set things right.
You will have a choice as you help him and track down the cultist. You can let her go or help Forn complete his task in Pathfinder WOTR. Both choices have consequences, and you may find out that the story you have been told may not be the complete truth.
Speak with Forn
Kaylessa is a cultist hiding in Kenabres. Forn has sworn that he will find her and kill her no matter what. However, he failed to do so when he encountered her some time ago, as she is a fearless and deadly fighter.
At the start of the quest, you will have a conversation with Forn. He will ask you to find and kill Kaylessa. Now, the next step is finding Kaylessa. You can find her in the lower right area of the market Square, standing next to a wall.
Speak with Kaylessa
While talking with her, if you passed the perception check, you would know she is not a cultist. From here on, you have an important choice regarding Kaylessa’s fate.
After talking with Kaylessa, you will find that something is wrong. But since you don’t have much information, you have to make your own decision.
Choice 1 – Killing Kaylessa
The outcomes of these scenarios are different. If you let her go, her part of the story will move forward, and you will meet her a few more times in different chapters of the game. On the other hand, if you kill her, you will get the “Scroll of Death Ward” as your reward from Forn.
Even though it’s completely up to you and the sort of character you’re role-playing, we recommend you let her go so you can also learn why Forn was after her and wants you to kill her.
If you choose to kill Kaylessa, you can do so when you find her. If you choose to spare her instead, we’ll walk you down the path of trusting her below.
Choice 2 – Letting Kaylessa live
After sparing Kaylessa and becoming the 5th Crusade knight commander, you will encounter Forn. In Act III, you may meet with Forn again, and he will ask you for help.
He will be wounded and crying for help. But it is just a trap. You will learn about his cunning plan if you have succeeded in Perception, Lore, and Nature skill checks.
Once you find out what Forn’s really up to, you can help Kaylessa defeat Forn and get to know Forn’s true reason for hunting her. After that, you can help Kaylessa with her final wish: to kill her and leave. Refusing to do so will result in her attacking you, and you will be forced to defend yourself. In any case, you will kill her and complete The Outcast quest in Pathfinder WotR. You’ll find Composite Longbow +5, Second Chance, Mithral Chainshirt +3, and Ring of Protection +2 among the loot.
