One such player claimed there is an even worse moment to betray Shadowheart. According to this player, “In Act 3 you can Betray Shadowheart to Mother Superior Viconia, and let her be taken in for “re-education” aka mind-wiping.” They also claimed, “You’re not s*****g over Shadowheart out of greed for some reward- you’re doing it out of a total apathy toward her and her journey as a character.”
