Before you start
The community route lists three prerequisites: Arron must not have eaten the dragon heart, you need enough empathy for the relevant choice, and the route occurs in Act III. These conditions come from a player guide rather than an official walkthrough, so check them against your current build.
- Keep Arron in the eligible state
- Build the required empathy level before the Moonvale branch
- Reach Act III without assuming a later rewind can repair every lockout
Moonvale route
At the start of the third Moonvale mission, choose the empathy option instead of killing the baby dragon. Accept the different quest that follows, then assign Arron even if his preference makes the choice look unattractive.
- Choose the empathy route
- Accept the alternate quest
- Send Arron on that quest
- Continue through the unique outcome and the audience that follows
Reported reward
The guide reports that Arron receives the Dragon Knight perk after the audience. The listed effect is a small bonus on any quest, doubled when the quest involves combat. Treat the wording and exact value as community documentation until verified in-game.
Lockout warning
A comment on the same Steam guide reports that eating the dragon heart first can make the achievement unavailable without starting a fresh game. This is a player report, but it is important enough to test before making an irreversible choice.
- Take a checkpoint before the dragon-heart decision
- Record Arron's current traits and equipment
- If the perk does not appear, label the result with build and route details
