The Assassin at Large is a main quest in Pillars of Eternity. It starts automatically upon completing the second act.
Synopsis[ | ]
Thaos has killed the duc and Lady Webb, and sent Defiance Bay into chaos. But Lady Webb saw where he intended to go next - to the city of Twin Elms. It is there the Watcher must go if there is any chance of catching up to him.
Walkthrough[ | ]
Upon completion of the previous main storyline quest (The Hermit of Hadret House), head to Lady Webb and interact with her soul to learn that Thaos finally caught up with and killed her. You will automatically leave the burning Defiance Bay and land at the Aedelwan Bridge. Make your way eastwards through Stormwall Gorge, where the flood has now conveniently receded, allowing you to travel onward to Elmshore and then Hearthsong.
Deal with the Leaden Key assassins on the way. If you choose answer Aggressive 2, you can avoid a fight and take Naelde prisoner (assuming you have you have built the Dungeons at Caed Nua).
In Hearthsong, talk to Anamenfath Bethwl at the The Passage of the Six to gain access to Oldsong and Elms' Reach (you receive Twin Elms: Minor Positive).
Travel east to Elms' Reach, and talk to Sîdha and Rîhenwn who are standing in front of the entrance to Teir Evron on the east of the map. The quest will complete after the conversation.

0 | The Assassin at Large | |
10000 | Thaos has killed the duc and Lady Webb, and sent Defiance Bay into chaos. But Lady Webb saw where he intended to go next - to the city of Twin Elms. It is there I must go if there is any chance of catching up to him. | |
1 | Travel to Twin Elms. | |
10001 | I saw Lady Webb's last moments. Thaos killed her in her bed, but not before she got him to admit he was headed to Twin Elms. I wonder if she did that knowing that I'd see it. | |
2 | Seek audience with the anamenfath in the Passage of the Six. | |
10002 | I was told that foreigners are not allowed beyond Hearthsong. I will have to speak to the presiding anamenfath in the Passage of the Six to get permission. | |
20004 | Anamenfath Bethwl is dead. Since I can't rely on her for information about Thaos or permission to move around Twin Elms, I'll have to find answers on my own. | |
3 | Search Twin Elms for signs of Thaos. | |
10003 | I have reached Twin Elms. The city has a front gate. With any luck, someone saw him when he passed through. I'll have to ask around. | |
20000 | Foreigners are forbidden from going deeper into the city. They said that Anamenfath Bethwl, currently presiding in the Passage of the Six in the middle of Hearthsong, could grant me entry to the other districts. | |
20001 | Glanfathans of Twin Elms have heard of a mysterious man, a foreigner, that recently broke into one of their forbidden districts, Elms' Reach. | |
20003 | Anamenfath Bethwl is dead. Since I can't rely on her for information about Thaos or permission to move around Twin Elms, I'll have to find answers on my own. | |
4 | Speak with the delemgan at Teir Evron in Elms' Reach. | |
10004 | Anamenfath Bethwl has granted me access to the Oldsong and Elms' Reach districts. She suggested that I speak with the delemgan sisters in Elms' Reach, near a place called Teir Evron. | |
20002 | Glanfathans have told me that I can find the delemgan sisters under the giant trees of Elms' Reach. | |
