Learn how to recruit Pasqal in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Follow our guide to find him on Rykad Minoris and convince him to join your retinue.
Alright, so you're looking to get Pasqal on your team in Rogue Trader? He's a pretty solid Tech-Priest companion, and getting him is tied to the main story on Rykad Minoris. Don't worry, it's not too complicated, but you'll need to be a bit further into the game.
- 1Become Rogue Trader: First things first, you need to have inherited the title of Rogue Trader. This happens fairly early in the game after you complete the initial prologue missions.
- 2Complete Introduction Prompts: Just get through the initial story beats and dialogue after becoming RT.
- 3Visit Rykad Minoris: This is the key location. You'll find it on your star map in the Rykad system, usually on the right side. You'll need to visit this planet for a couple of main quests, specifically 'New Blood' and 'Machine Spirit Keeper'. Select the planet on your map, then choose to land at the spaceport.
- 4Fight Through the Rebellion: When you land, you'll immediately run into an armed rebellion. Your first step is to talk to the sergeant you find on the landing zone. He'll explain what's going on, and you'll learn that a Tech-Priest is being escorted to the planet's capital. You'll see this escort party moving around the middle-right section of your shuttle map. You'll need to push through this conflict to get to Pasqal.
- 5Speak to Pasqal Politely: Once you reach Pasqal, he's doing some serious calculations about whether you're a threat or not. This is where your dialogue choices really matter. To get him on your side, you'll want to be civil. I'd recommend picking the first or second dialogue option when you first introduce yourself. Keep the conversation going, ask him about the events that led to this situation, and then inquire why he's heading to the capital.
- 6Ask Him to Join Your Retinue: After you've established some context, you'll get a few more dialogue options. One of these will be to either send him back for medical attention or to ask him to join your Retinue. Choose the option to ask him to join your Retinue. This is how you recruit him as a combat ally for the mission and, eventually, as a permanent companion.
Pascal’s Quest and Beyond:
Once Pasqal joins your party, you'll escort him to the capital while you continue your own mission to meet the Inquisitor. You can start leveling him up right away and begin to learn more about his backstory. As the game progresses, you'll help him find his old master, which is a significant part of his personal questline.
- Be polite! Pasqal is a Tech-Priest, and they value logic and proper protocol. Being aggressive or dismissive might make him wary.
- Pay attention to the dialogue options. The game often gives you chances to impress or alienate companions based on your choices.
- Getting Pasqal is tied to the main story progression on Rykad Minoris, so you can't miss him if you're following the main questline.
