== Becoming Branded ==

A character may become branded by speaking to [[Gut]] in the [[Shattered Sanctum]]. After branding you, she will attempt to mentally connect to your parasite and ask you to join her in her private chapel. After this conversation, [[Gut]] will no longer offer to brand additional characters, but any number of party members may receive the brand by switching the active character and speaking to [[Warlock Greez]].

** {{CharLink|Greymon|Corsair Greymon}} will back down without a dialogue check on the skiff in the Underdark.

== Item synergy ==

The following pieces of equipment require the Absolute's brand to function at their full potential:

* {{~~MdItemIcon~~|Absolute's Protector}}

~~The~~ [[~~Vision of the Absolute~~]] ~~does~~ not ~~seem~~ to ~~have any interaction with the Absolute's brand~~.

== Bugs ==

* [[Origins#Custom|Tav]] may not become "Branded" after an attempt in [[patch notes|Patch #7]], so it is necessary to check if it has succeeded or if it has failed.{{bug|Verified as of 12/25/2024}}
