She would not recognize a lie, even if you will slap with it over her face. laugh Whatever her teachers said, is the truth in her eyes ... no matter the reality. laugh

I actualy do believe Kithrak in this one, that there is in fact no cure, and whole story about purification is only fairytail for foolish younglings, to rush back to their créche, and being killed before they spawn another forsworn enemy of their kind. laugh
How did he say it?
"Only in death are infected cleansed."

After all, Gith are Evil race ...
Ruthless, cruel, and effective. :P

Honestly, while I'm not against the idea Lae'zel having been lied to at all, it just doesn't feel right to me that this is something the gith would lie to their soldiers about. Like you said, Lae'zel is a zealot, raised in a culture of zealots. I'm open to hearing arguments otherwise but to me it would make more sense if all githyanki were drilled from birth to believe that death is better than being infected and that any gith who's infected should just kill themselves right away. The gith don't strike me as the type to come up with lies like that for their soldiers. Lae'zel already demonstrated that she was prepared to die when she thought she was changing, and she strikes me as a typical gith enough that I would believe that is the standard attitude. I wouldn't exactly be mad if this turned out not to be the case, I'm just saying the impresion I have at this point. Plus it is true that Lae'zel's reactions around the topic of purification are weird. She acts cagey about it in dialogue, then gives a description of it in ambient dialogue later.

As for the difficulty issue, in my opinion it's too difficult for a fight in a companion quest. It's a major difficulty spike to me an average player even before they raised the hp on the gith. This is effectively the second step of Lae'zel's companion questline (the first being meeting Zorru) and I don't think having it gated behind one of the most difficult fights of the zone makes sense.
