Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous – How to recruit Arueshalae

Arueshalae is one of the companions who can join your team during the second act of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. This Succubus Ranger swears that she fights on the side of good. Here’s our Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous guide to help you recruit Arueshalae by solving the Shrine of Desna puzzle in the Lost Chapel.

How to recruit Arueshalae and solve the Lost Chapel’s Shrine of Desna puzzle in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

The first thing you need to do if you wish to recruit Arueshalae early in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is to unlock the Azata Mythic Path. This is only possible if you completed the Starward Gaze quest during Act 1.

Next, go to the Lost Chapel in Act 2. We’ve got two options:

• You can either move your party close to the cave entrance marker (do this while you’re just going up the slope). You should see an icon right below you, allowing you to enter the cave via a glitch.
• Alternatively, check the cliffside path near the Lost Chapel’s gates. Follow it going down and you should see prompts for two Athletics skill checks (20 and 21 Athletics).

The cliffside path leads to an encounter with powerful gargoyles, including one that can paralyze your team. Be prepared for that fight.

Once inside the Lost Chapel, we need to find two items to solve the Shrine of Desna puzzle:

• Small Harp – Found inside the cave.
• Small Sextant – Dropped by a Kabiri Cultist at the eastern edge of the snowy area outside.

Next, interact with the Shrine of Desna. Here’s what we need to do:

1. Click the hand icon pointing downward. Place both the Small Harp and Small Sextant inside (they’re found in your Notable Items tab). The Map of Unknown Lands, a third item that’s required, is already in one of the slots, so don’t worry about it.
2. Click the hand interaction icons in this order: Middle, Right, Left, Middle.

If you do it correctly, a vision of Arueshalae will appear. Complete the main quest in the Lost Chapel as you see fit.

After this, we have to reach Drezen’s prison (you can choose Nurah’s suggestion, but it leads to a trap where you fight several minotaurs). Still, you’ll find Arueshalae inside a cell. Tell her that you saw her in a vision. Then, pick the Azata Mythic Path option. You’ll then be able to recruit Arueshalae as a companion in your Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous campaign.

To be clear, this is the earliest point where you can have her join your party. However, if you don’t have the Azata option, you can still meet her when you go to the Greengates location in Act III. There, you’ll have a chance to recruit her as well. With Arueshalae recruited, you can now focus on recruiting all the other companions in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.
