Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints

How can I talk him out of it?

  • 1 of 5: Talking him out of it is pretty tough. For one, you'll need to have five ranks of Persuasion.
  • 2 of 5: You also must have Arronax with you.
  • 3 of 5: To start, just no nod along with what he says until the cut-scene, then say something along the lines of him having an interesting point of view and that his offer is tempting. Arronax will then talk to you; tell him that you have a plan.
  • 4 of 5: After that, you just have to convince Kerghan that all of the souls are not the same as the ones he's talking about. Just stay on that theme, and he'll eventually let you use the Vendigroth Device on him to prevent him from ever coming back to life.
  • 5 of 5: You'll still have to fight him a little bit, but not for very long.
