The Devil Mythic Path is one of the oddest and trickiest to obtain in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. That’s because there are many ways for you to screw up without realizing it at first. In any case, here’s our Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous guide to help you unlock the Devil Mythic Path, as well as your dealings with Melies and Early Sunset.
Note: For more information, check out our Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous guides and features hub. Likewise, you can take a look at our main guide for all the Mythic Paths in the game. Lastly, please be reminded that this guide contains minor spoilers.
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous – How to unlock the Devil Mythic Path
To be clear, the Devil Mythic Path in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is quite unique in that it requires you to select either Aeon or Azata first. You can do this just as you’re about to capture Drezen toward the end of Act II.
Then, in Act III, a unique advisor should arrive at your court. The Aeon path gets Melies the Devil, and the Azata path gets Early Sunset. You might need to complete a particular task first just so either Melies or Early Sunset would appear. For Azata, that means visiting your sanctuary/court that’s north of Drezen.
Note: I chose the Azata Path here because I messed up my playthrough. I accidentally progressed further while using a save where I didn’t choose the Aeon dialogue option at the Wardstone. This mishap prevented me from unlocking it. As such, my experience predominantly comes from an Azata run.
Anyway, your goal is to take note of the recommendations given by your advisor. I’m not sure about what Melies does, but here are some examples for Early Sunset:
- Treants: Evil – “I’ll let you join on the conditions Early Sunset mentioned. You’ll tell us where your groves are located and be responsible for any misdeeds.”
- Shady Individuals/Kel Five Knives: Lawful – “Guards, seize this man and hand him over to the nearest Hellknight authority!”
- Child Caravan: Lawful – “I can’t put these young souls in harm’s way.”
From what I can gather, you should be in the clear as long as you’re following the recommendations of Melies or Early Sunset. Continue progressing further until you receive a quest that brings you up to Mythic Rank 8. For instance, the Azata option has Where’s My Dragon. While you’re doing that, you’ll notice some odd things about Early Sunset. Eventually, it’s revealed that he’s Mephistopheles, a Devil boss.
At the conclusion of Where’s My Dragon, Mephistopheles will tempt you with his power. You’ll need to make an extremely important decision as to whether you’ll side with him or not:
- If you go along with his plan, your next Mythic Quest as an Azata will involve killing a bunch of NPCs in your court, whereupon you’ll get to choose the Devil branch when that’s done.
- If you declined beforehand, he’ll still show up and tempt you in your court:
- Reject his offer and you’ll fight him.
- Accept his offer now and he’ll laugh at you for being so gullible. You won’t become a Devil at this stage, as you’re still locked into the Azata branch.
In any case, the Devil Mythic Path in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is an amalgamation of the Angel and Demon options. Moreover, it’s got some of the abilities that you’ve picked up as either Aeon or Azata from the previous ranks.
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is available via Steam.
