A Deal with the Devil

Major choice·Ending impact

Should You Mark the Hideout for Brencis or Leave?

Choose Leave if you’re not ready to commit. Marking the hideout starts the Brencis betrayal sequence; once that sequence completes, the deal is committed. Leaving does not commit the deal at this point.

Mark starts the commitment sequence. The route is committed once the subsequent betrayal sequence completes.

Major character and ending spoilers

Is Marking the Hideout a Point of No Return?

Yes, functionally.

Marking starts the commitment sequence. Once the following betrayal sequence completes successfully, the Brencis deal is recorded and should be treated as an irreversible route decision unless you reload an earlier save.

Where Does This Choice Happen?

This decision appears during A Deal with the Devil, when you reach the hideout marking sequence after the Brencis parley route.

Quick questions

Does leaving fail the quest?

Leaving this interaction does not commit the Brencis deal at that point. Use the quest context to confirm your current objective state.

Does marking affect the ending?

Yes. It can affect the Brencis finale route and later Florin, Lacra, Marat and Valley outcomes.

Is Mark the point of no return?

Treat it as the commitment choice once the following betrayal sequence completes.
