During the Delivering Devil’s quest, Lou, the bartender, will ask you the meaning of the Starfield Vanguard Motto. This can be a little confusing, but you have to know the correct answer. Even if a player hasn’t started this quest, they will eventually want to know the answer.

Key Takeaways

Lou, a bartender, will ask players to tell the Motto of Vanguard during a quesline in Starfield.
Players have to give him the right answer to make progress if they already told him that they are a Vanguard.
If players have Sarah on their team in Starfield, then she can also vouch for them.
If a player doesn’t want to answer this question, they can just choose the Terrormorphs option.
By using the Terrormorphs option, players will not have to tell Lou about the Vanguard Motto.

During the quest Delivering Devil in Starfield, if you identify as a Vanguard, you will be asked about the motto to prove it. You can do several things at this point.

Here are the following choices and consequences of all dialogues I’ve found when talking to Lou:

Choice	Consequences
[Sarah Morgan] I can vouch for this one	Sarah will take over and vouch for your identity, avoiding the question. [You will need Sarah on your team to get this option.]
Over and Above	This is a wrong answer.
Above and Beyond	This is the correct answer. Lou, the bartender, will trust you and give you a chance to help Percival. He will tell you Percival’s location after doing it.
Far Beyond	This is a wrong answer.

Out of all these choices, I’ve discovered that the correct answer for the Motto is Above and Beyond. However, if you have Sarah Morgan on your team, then you will be able to use another option. That option will let Sarah vouch for you.

Choose the Terrormorph Option

By using the Terrormorph option, you can avoid the question completely.

Upon using it, the following are the choices and consequences of all dialogues I’ve encountered when talking to Lou:

Choice	Consequences
[Sarah Morgan] You can drop the act. We simply need a moment of his time.	Allow Sarah to take over and handle the situation. Lou will eventually give in.
Please. Lives could be at risk here. Just tell me where I can find him.	The consequences of this option are yet to be confirmed, so it is better not to use it.
Please. Lives could be at risk here. Just tell me where I can find him.	He will disagree but eventually give you information on how to help and see Percival.

From my experience, it is to be noted that the results of this quest will not differ if you use any of the options. Therefore, identifying as a Vanguard or using the Terrormorph option will not affect the questline.
