*spoilers* How to get the secret companion?

[Nero]

I know there is a spoiler section. But that section is kinda dead. So I'll ask here.

Beware


So I've seen some screens with Tartuk as party member at the very end of the game. He seems to be a level 20 sorc.

Some stuff is obvious like not bashing him down first during troll trouble.

But other things seem to be vague.
Do you need to be chaotic evil?
Do you have to spare the other kobolds as well (Old Sycamore)?
And so on.

[Gin-chan]

If he is spared and allowed to become a vassal after the fight against him and Hargulka, he can be directly added to the party by neutral player characters in the final mission

As far as I am aware, you have to be Chaotic alignment when sparing Tartuccio/Tartuk and Neutral when recruiting Tartuk later.

[Nero]

So you need to be chaotic neutral than.
Well, that sucks.

What, can't embrace that sweet lolsorandumbness?

Wrong

I made a Neutral Good Druid that intentionally went Chaotic Good in chapter 2 specifically to spare and recruit Tartuk as a vassal then went back to Neutral Good. Sure, it REALLY sucked to lose my spells when I HAVE NOT cleared the scythe tree area... but it was worth from a story standpoint.

1. Spare the kobolds.

2. Be Caotic.

3. Kill the troll king first: acid, lots of acid.
