So, this is a bit of an odd situation, but basically I've been running Wrath of the Righteous, and my players have just completed the 5th book by killing Baphomet. Earlier in the book they ran into the demon Lord Nocticula, and the books hint pretty heavily that Nocticula is seeking redemption to become a Chaotic Neutral god.
One of my players wants to pursue this, and I thought it would be cool to allow him to set Nocticula along the path of redemption, but I'm not sure how to make this happen in a satisfying way.
Currently I have come up with a couple options: 1. Killing Baphomet to prove there worth in Nocticula's eyes (Accomplished) 2. Get the help of a Mythic level 20 character that can use Atonement, along with the Miracle spell. 3. To get Iomedae to assist using the divine intervention reward she offers at the end of Book 5.
So far, though, it feels like this is fairly easy and a bit too straightforward. Any thoughts on adding more difficulty, or making the process more interesting?
The character who wants to set Nocticula on the path of redemption is an Aasimar Celestial blood-line sorcerer.
Nocticula is the demon lord of Assassins, Darkness and Lust, and is known as the queen of the Succubi. Her current domains are Chaos, Charm, Darkness, Evil.

I believe the typical method is to go to a very expensive rehabilitation center in California.
My personal opinion is that it's not something that should happen within the confines of the AP.
What I mean is that your players can try to start Noticula down the path, but will need to entrust the redemption to someone greater than themselves and that it will take more time the PCs have.
The players take some measure of comfort in attempting to redeem evil, but the characters themselves don't actually get to see it play out. This way you don't actually need to worry about what the process is.
Get Sarenrae to do it for you. It's her job anyway.
