Arueshalae | Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous Wiki (2024)

Arueshalae is a Companion in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Companions assist the player by joining his/her party and have their own backstories and unique characteristics. They all have their own Classes and equipment they begin with.

A Demon's Heresy: A rare specimen: a turncoat demoness. A succubus who has betrayed the forces of evil, hoping to change her own vicious nature. The crusaders don't trust her - and for good reason, since even she can't fully trust herself. Will a monster who has stepped on the thorny path of redemption travel it to the end?"

* Arueshalae's ability scores are higher than what is possible to achieve using the Pathfinder point buy rules.

How to Recruit Arueshalae

• Arueshalae can be first found in the Drezen prison in Act 2 during the siege of Drezen, where she can be recruited early if you have completed the following prerequisites:
  
  • Act 1 - Unlocked the Azata Mythic Path (see Starward Gaze quest)
  • Act 2 - Completed the Altar of Desna secret quest in the Lost Chapel (See Lost Chapel Altar of Desna Walkthrough for more information).
• If you have completed both of these prerequisites, sing the song of Elysium when you meet her in the Drezen prison in Act 2 and you will be able to recruit her early.
• Otherwise Arueshalae can join your party in Greengates in Act 3, at the end of the quest Demon's Heresy.

Corrupting Arueshalae

During the course of the story you will have the opportunity to corrupt Arueshalae. If you do, she will revert back to her old succubus ways.

• During the end of the quest Dreams in Ruin, Arueshalae will ask you to enter her dream with her. Follow her in, and in the ensuing conversation, select the (Evil) option and tell her "Here is the answer to Desna's riddle. You dream of the same things that demons desire because you're a demon too, and there's no escaping that."

• Doing this will corrupt Arueshalae and cause her to fall. She will immediately leave your party.

• You can later re-recruit Arueshalae in Act 5 by visiting the Place of Execution. Corrupted Arueshalae will be there and you can ask her to rejoin you. If you are a Legend, Demon, Lich, or Trickster, she will do so. Otherwise, she will attack you and you will have to kill her.

• Note that when you corrupt Arueshalae and she leaves your party, she will take all currently equipped items with her. When you re-recruit her later, those items will be gone. If you wish to keep any of those items, you must remove them from her before following her into her dream.

Gameplay

Arushalae joins the party with stats that are far higher than typical party members, which makes her one of the more useful party members in both combat and in terms of skills. Her high Intelligence stat and number of skill points from the Ranger class means she can provide plenty of out-of-combat utility. Her high charisma means she can pass high Persuasion checks easily. She also has high Trickery to disable traps, Stealth to get surprise rounds for the party, and Knowledge Arcana to identify magic items.

In combat, her 22 Dexterityand numerous starting archery feats means she can dish out plenty of damage at a range. Thanks to her Favored Enemy class feature, she competes withLannfor strongest ranged damage dealer against demons. Lann will likely outpace her in places with fewer demons likeBlackwater, while Arushalae is superior in places like Alushinyrrawhere there are almost exclusively demon opponents. But regardless of location, Arushalae's sheer amount of skill points allows her to be a very versatile party member, useful in a variety of situations.

Note that if you pickconsistently pick Evil dialogue options, Arushalae's redemption will fail and she will return to being a full succubus. This will lead to a drastic drop in her combat abilities, as her Favored Enemy will change to exclusively mortal races like humans and dwarves, making her far less deadly against the game's main opponents: demons.

Personality

In the past, Arushalae was a cunning and sad*stic succubus who delighted in manipulation and cruelty. Several demons on the Midnight Isles share memories of her famously ruthless and evil acts. Now, after being blessed byDesna, she is desperate to leave her old life behind and become a better person. She is typically very polite to her fellow party members, even those who do not trust her likeRegill, always attempting to keep a cool and level head to avoid emotional outbursts. Arushalae acts quite shy around those who wish to be her friend because, as a succubus, she has never experienced true friendship or emotional attachment before, and fears that such attachment could lead her back to her old ways. Her attempts at understanding mortal customs sometimes lead to humorous misunderstandings, but are always genuine. She acts loyally to a good or neutral commander, particularly if theAzatapath is chosen, but if the player choses theDemonorSwarm-That-Walkspath, she will eventually not be able to tolerate their evil and chooses to leave the party.

As she endeavors to learn more about what it is like to be mortal, as well as contemplates the question that Desna herself asked when she began her ascension ("And what do you dream of?"), Arushalae eventually trusts the commander enough to help her build her own dream. While initially starting off as a patchwork of numerous people's ideals, she will eventually create her own dream of a peaceful life without war or strife for her and all her companions. In her Good ending, she retires to a quiet life in a cabin near Drezen, offering sage advice to any who visit. In her Evil ending, she becomes a succubus again and continues killing.

Romance: Arushalae will initially not respect any attempts to romance her, not trusting herself and not seeing the Commander's advances as genuine. Attempts to kiss her in her in the real world or the dream world will only frustrate her, as the Commander is not respecting her wishes or boundaries. It is only after helping Arushalae build her own dream and conquer her inner demons that the player can begin a romance with her in Act 4.
