Ablution in blood - how to get a psyker?
The only walkthrough I could find says to pay 3 profit factor in order to steal a psyker from house Winterscale.

But you are given an option where you say "we'll find a more honourable way" or something like that. But does it really mean that or does it just mean you can't use that guy as your psyker at all without paying for it?

You're specifically after a telepath,so Idira is also a candidate. She's not a wise choice mind you, as they go to great pains to warn about, but she is an option.

Didn't test it with an MC telepath, but I know you can put forward yourself as a suggestion if you are a psyker, he scoffs at the idea for a non-telepath but it might work if you got it unlocked for your MC.

Spoiler here, but if you go herectic and allow the governor from the agricultural planet to stay in charge after you discover she is working with the Archenemy you can use her , that's what I did in my current run.

I read a walkthrough claiming Idira straight up dies if you use her.

Well, for anyone else who hoped to use Heinrix... can't do it. I made him a telepath but he still can't do it.

If you try to do it yourself the astropath calls you a noob and laughs in your face, pretty much.

My MC is a sanctioned psyker, and it went swimmingly! Started Sanctic. Picked up Telepathy along the way, but I honestly do not remember if that was before or after this particular mission.

But the MC can absolutely be the extra psyker needed.

Oh that's odd. I read somewhere else the astropath merely treats you like an idiot if you try. Maybe it depends on having a specific level of psychic ability? Or the person claiming that wasn't using a telepath.

Yeah, she explodes a little bit, but she gets better after the fight.

he does if you are not a telepath. Tells you you are not powerful enough / trained enough to immerse yourself as deeply as astropaths do and points out that he needs a telepath.

What the Astropath tells you is that you are not suitable because even though you're a sanctioned psyker (if you're not, you don't even have the option to suggest you take part in the ritual), there are different specialties and you don't fit. But he only says that if you don't have the telepathy branch of psyker powers. If you *are* a telepath, you can participate. That's why Idira can participate as well, because she always has the telepathy branch.

Also, she doesn't die in the sense of being removed from the roster, she just gets knocked out at the beginning of the fight that ensues the ritual.

She doesn't die you get an achievement. If you choose to not use her you get a different achievement.
I just stole one for free lol

For free? How. The whole operation is 3 PF to get from the Winterscale domain.

This is very cool, tried this out. You get some unique dialogue about it too, especially if you bring Heinrix with you.
My MC is a sanctioned psyker too, but I asked if i can assist and he said no. Now i'm trained enough but the option to offer myself is no longer there :(
