Where to find Kukajin

Moves as their questline advances — 3 quest steps across 2 places, in this order:

  1. Forsaken Fen
  2. Skyrest Bridge

Read from the quest-step spawners placed in the game's levels: each step of their questline is its own spawner, so this is the route rather than a single address. The files give the region, not the exact spot within it. Datamined

Questline — Save the Petrified Woman, then Kukajin of the Envenomed

A mercenary of the Envenomed, hired as a bodyguard by a sorcerer named Wilmarc who ran and left her when she began turning to stone. Free her and she fights beside you, for a fee.

Run-ending mistakes

  • Attacking or rolling through her petrified body kills her. You get Kukajin's Sword and nothing else.
  • Missing her summon at any of the seven fights fails the quest.
  • Summoning her, not paying, then fighting another boss fails it. You get one warning conversation first.
  • She must be summoned at the FINAL Lightreaper encounter. He shows up multiple times.
  • Direct conflict with Paladin Isaac: he needs the same summon slot at the same fight. Only one of the two questlines can be completed per playthrough.

Where they start

Forsaken Fen, petrified inside a cave. Follow the humming. · Nearest vestige: Vestige of Valade

The route

  1. Forsaken Fen cave
    Do not roll into her or hit her. Shattering her ends the questline before it starts.
  2. Forsaken Fen cave
    Exhaust the dialogue, then cure the petrification with a Radiant heal that strips status — Cleansing Spring or Sanctify. An un-upgraded Empyrean Grenade or a Radiantburst Parchment also works. You get the Pendant of Induration.
  3. Forsaken Fen cave
    Rest at the nearby vestige and come back for Wilmarc's Catalyst, which she was blocking.
  4. Skyrest main hall, alcove near the sleeping quarters
    She introduces herself and offers to fight for money.
  5. Seven boss fights
    Summon her, win on an attempt where she was summoned, and pay her at Skyrest before the next boss. She does not have to survive.
  6. Skyrest alcove
    After the final payment she leaves and abandons her kit. Collect it.

What the game says about Kukajin

Kukajin's set

Kukajin tried not to think much about her past, but there were times when she couldn't help but vividly recall the thunder of hooves across Yisugen's emerald plains, the bloody honesty of battle and the exhilarating joy of victory and survival, and her heart would ache for those lost days.

Quoted as the game writes it — their own armour set's description, and any stigma vision they speak in. Datamined
