Turning the Nightsong Over to Larroakan

[Metallicus]

Is there any value to keeping the Nightsong around or is the reward for turning her over to Larroakan the easier and more lucrative route to go?

You can google end game final battle buffs from every NPC to see the answer.

you get her as an ally for the final fight, and if you turn her in you also lose isobel who is incredibly useful in the final fight, plus you separate the moon lesbians

If you need 5K that bad in the game then I suggest siding with Nightsong so she is around for the final battle and instead go rob the bank.

What do you mean useful in the final fight? You just go past the enemies into the next part and then win?

Morale?

On Honour mode I try to avoid most fights with charisma checks and fighting Larrakan isn't really a good trade off if you consider risk vs reward. Aylijn and Isobel are annoying as hell and there isn't really a benefit to keeping them around after they served their purpose.

On first play through I completed all the good quests and had a ton of allies for the final fight. Aylin was underwhelming and Isobel meh. Rolan (Larroakan) damages allies as much as foes. In summary, Rolan/Isobel/Aylin are a little stronger than Larroakan, but AI mitigates much of that advantage.

Last play through I set up Aylin vs Larroakan and turned on both. Very fun fight - even did it 3-man so pala-Tav didn't fall yet again... RP-wise, it was taking out the trash x2. Don't need either's help and they're all impediments to peace and stability of BG.

I couldn't throw Aylin from the tower, but didn't think to put her in a container first then throw. Must do better in future.

It sounds like you already made a decision. Why the question in the OP, then?

Guess he wants to learn of any secret interactions?

Saving Rolan and co, 'betraying' Nightsong then killing Larroakan does lead to her secret vendetta letter left on the Tieflings. Cool little lore tidbit.

Because the question was originally posted on June 10th when I still hadn’t decided.

If you don't fight the wizard, then you have to fight Nightsong and her angels. It's a good fight. Whomever you decide to aid will ally with you in the final battle.

Not everyone does that save for Bouch and other YouTubers who use cheese strats. I fight all 4 encounters on my runs because 1) they're fun, 2) they let you actually USE the allies you recruited through Act III, and 3) because it's the only end-game we've really got that lets us play with our shiny new Act III toys properly.

Also, Deus ex Necropost?

Dam Aylin isn't worth much in battle so not much worth to hold onto. Trade it in if you need the gold.

Yea she is terrible combatant not to mention you actually need to control her which is annoying.
