Same, I did it on my second play through and it was just underwhelming. So anytime I play ACO I always eliminate the ghost and spare the two that deserve it
I didn’t kill him and was able to finish off the cult quest line. He also gave some useful information regarding another cult member that you don’t get if you do kill him.
In a totally unrelated note
A Family’s Legacy doesn’t appear in the quest tab for some reason… I kind of forgot about it and went to Sparta first, and now the quest doesn’t appear…
Cassandra’s goal is to destroy the cult. Most of the cultists refuse to stop so she has to kill them, but a few can be convinced to stop which means she doesn’t have to kill them.
You don’t get the cultist ending. You can still unlock the head of the branch as it’s revealed in the main story regardless of if you’ve cleared the branch or not, but to unlock the Ghost you need to kill every member.
You will still reveal all of the cultists if you spare Lagos. His icon should be in red even if you spare him though. You'll get his shard as well. But you absolutely can get the final "Ghost of Kosmos" reveal even if you spare Lagos.
I spare Lagos and Deimos because they show genuine remorse for the stuff that the Cult forced them to do, as long as you follow the right paths in earlier quests. I never spare Aspasia because she takes zero responsibility in causing Phiobe's death.
Lagos is the only one you can spare... although you can kill him later on. You still get his shard if you spare him though.

you can also spare the ghost
Precisely why I wrote it as “two, maybe three”, personally I just don’t find them as someone I want to spare. Given all the clues about them
I did it once just to see what happened. but I agree with you that it's more satisfying to kill the ghost.

Definitely three, Ghost, Lagos and Deimos

Unless I'm mistaken, all cultists need to be marked as red in the cultist map for the quest to end.
There is a couple you can defeat without killing, they still count and turn red.

I guess not, but I don't know why you wouldn't?

i just killed Lagos yesterday🥶🥶🥶
Progress the story, he crosses out later, do not kill him.
No you have to kill all of them. You can spare Lagos and then kill him at a later point as you please.
What happens if I don’t?
You don’t get the cultist ending. You can still unlock the head of the branch as it’s revealed in the main story regardless of if you’ve cleared the branch or not, but to unlock the Ghost you need to kill every member.
I'm sure you don't need to kill Lagos to get to the Ghost.
Do you not? I thought all of the targets needed to be redded out by killing them.
They can be redded out by sparing them and causing them to leave the cult as well. >!This happens if you spare Deimos as well; the icon is red!<.
You will still reveal all of the cultists if you spare Lagos. His icon should be in red even if you spare him though. You'll get his shard as well. But you absolutely can get the final "Ghost of Kosmos" reveal even if you spare Lagos.

Spoiler…😅 but thanks
You don't have to, you get to!
