Recruiting Staunton Vhane

[Gotrek]

The guides online are either very vague, one sided, or plain just don't know. So, I read that there are two ways to recruit this guy: Lich Mythic path to resurrect him as an undead, or path of Aeon. In act II, in the midst of retaking Drezen; I went the Aeon Path so I could possibly recruit this guy. I chose Aeon path and got to Mihago and Staunton boss fight. I kill her she runs...none of the dialogue says that I can turn him around or "arrest" him. No matter what he seems to fight me. So I finish and kill him and the other traitor and he just...dies. Start act III and Irabeth asks me what to do with Stauntons corpse...Bury him a knights way (good), bury him, show his corpse in the square (evil). Keep his corpse, I have plans for it (blanked out Lich Path choice because I didn't choose it.) What am I missing?

I was wondering if anyone knows the exact details on what I must do to get this guy. As I said I went the Aeon Path.

Recruiting Staunton as an Aeon:
You can't recruit him as a companion as Aeon. However, you can redeem him via one of your mythic quests.

Details:
At some point in Drezen, on the stairs for one of the gates, you'll see a small tear in reality - looks a bit like a portal. Eventually, by completing mythic quests, you'll have the opportunity to interact with it, and in doing so, you can alter history such that he doesn't chase after Minagho and Drezen never falls. In that new reality, Staunton's a hero that held Drezen.

So I missed my chance by not going Lich? Also when you mean redeem you mean just in that reality and he wont come with you? Pretty lame.

He helps out later in the game, but not as a playable companion.

You can only recruit Staunton in the Lich path. All other paths lead to his death, except for one. But even in that one, he just hangs around as another background NPC.

Uh this sounds like the total opposite of what an Aeon is supposed to be about. Going around willy nilly creating alternate timelines is the height of the creation of an aberration. And those pillars AREN'T Aberrations. Those are the positive choices made by beings living within that plane. They are no more an Aberration than a baby being born or a soldier dying in war. I think the devs really screwed up regarding Aeons.

Demons are not supposed to be on Golarion. The fall of Drezen and it becoming a stronghold for demons is the true aberration. You're just fixing that by altering time.

Play the Aeon path from start to finish. It's clear you don't know what you're talking about.

better play true aeon from start to finish to get the bigger picture
