Deal with the Devil How to get the Hellknights

[shinros]

So this small guide is for those lawful evil rulers who want the hellknights. So after an hour of experimentation I think I found out how to get the hellknights. (Also this quest is badly written, considering it's a backer quest with a self-insert I'm not surprised.)

Also one point, make saves just in case.

Alright you must do is let Linxia do her investigation, support her and deal with the kingdom hits. The two stats will be community and loyalty. I also think there is a point system with Linxia and Dreven. So be mindful of your choices. When Dreven finally turns up, don't accept his offer, try to arrest him, kill him etc.

Now here comes the important part. I think this is the area where loads of people mess up, including myself. When you go to the lodge, DON'T, DON'T say that Dreven sent you when Linxia questions you how you found the place. Tell her you don't need to know, after that the fight breaks out, when that's done don't side with Dreven again.

Go back to your kingdom, spruce it up do some quests. Linxia sends a letter, Linzi likes reading your sealed letters for some reason. Next, go to Brine, side with her again the choice is pretty clear.

If all goes well, she WON'T call you an unworthy ruler and a bandit. Instead she apologies and calls you a good king or queen. Then she turns somewhat bashful.

That's it, if you are lawful evil congratulations! You now have two hellknight orders in your kingdom and the achievement!

Accepting the alliance offer. Of course Jubi isn't happy, Jeathal approves of the alliance.

I figured out how to fix things if you accidentally say the wrong things. I followed the above instructions and said none of your business and Linxia said something along the lines of I see through your lies. After that you are SOL. To cheat, you need to do this before you fight at Brinehart.
Rename your save with .zip
Pull out the player.json file
Load it into https://jsoneditoronline.org/
Find the Unlockable flags. Copy/paste the last flag then change the values to below
{
"Key": "90f552c47db62464dbf3a828c6badbaa",
"Value": 1
}
Then put that back into the zip and rename it back.
Load it up and just pick the neutral dialog option.
Then instead of calling me a bandit she said she proposes an alliance.

Pretty sure this quest is as buggy as it gets, the info is all over the place on what to say and do.
