Help Father Florin or Refuse

Browse Choices Guides
Quick answer

Agreeing to work with Father Florin opens A Hero's End and gives a route to Greifberg Castle's side entrance. Refusing is reversible: Coen can return and accept later while Florin lives. Killing Florin permanently closes his alliance route, though the Ancient Key can be looted and the ruins/armor content can still be accessed.

Recommended
Agree or leave Father Florin alive to preserve your options. Kill him only for a deliberate hostile route.
Reversible
Refusing is reversible while Florin lives; Coen can return and accept later. Attacking him permanently closes the alliance route.

AgreeFlorin explains the side-door route; questline continues
Refuse/leaveNo commitment; may return later
AttackFlorin and followers become hostile; alliance route closes; key remains obtainable

A separate Side Gate Key can also be looted from Georghe, the Rabid Duke, so Florin is not the only mechanical way through the castle side entrance.
