So regarding the rats in Temple of Shaar

I figured out on a more recent playthrough they were a split up human, but I could never figure out what to do from that point on.

I found the crucible or whatever it is way down there, with the pentagram and purple candles. I lit the candles, nothing. I went and secured more purple candles, placed them on the points missing one, lit them, nothing. No change in rat dialog, either.

I had stopped the convo before agreeing to leave them alone.

I finally broke and looked up the solution. Murder all the rats. Then they recombine, or just the one remaining one transforms, whatever, then you kill that guy and poof, the last Justiciar is gone, and Yurgurrr is freed from Raphael.

Really, that's the only option?

You can't use the crucible to force them to re-combine somehow? And how is just one remaining rat sufficient to reconstitute the human? The many horcruxes this situation ain't!

I'm not saying the rat fight isn't interesting (shocking how many crits they got on me, and how many critical misses I got on them, this killing 3+ per round.) But I was hoping for a better way to recombine them forcibly. Uhhh, before murdering the guy anyway.

Anyway, finished, I TP'd back to the waypoint, and 5 more rats immediately attacked. What? How were they not sucked into the recombining person?
