As you finally reach the end of Dawnshore area, as part of the quest, you'll finally confront the assassin who shot you with a poisoned arrow in Paradis. There are a few dialogue directions you can take, but you'll ultimately be faced with the choice to forgive him and let him go, convince him to turn himself in, or fight him. All three options provide distinct rewards and consequences in the coming journey through the Living Lands, and it's useful to know what's going to happen later down the road as a result of your decisions here.

The associated quest is part of the main journey in and once completed, you'll get the opportunity to face Ygwulf. While it might seem obvious that you should kill the assassin who tried to kill you, the situation isn't exactly cut and dry. Ygwulf's motivations become clearer after some investigation, and in my experience, he didn't seem like such a bad guy in the end. The more you learn about Ygwulf and the rebels, it's easier to understand why they wanted you dead. Here's a look at whether you should kill or spare Ygwulf at the end of Dawnshore.

Assuming you forgave Elowe and heard her out, she'll explain that the rebels (and Paradisans in general) want to be left to their own devices and don't appreciate the emperor getting all up in their business. You can choose to forgive her or attack her, but the end result is more or less the same. I'd recommend sparing her if you plan to spare Ygwulf anyway. Either way, once you make your way through the cistern, you'll eventually find yourself face to face with Ygwulf, who is surprised to see you given your previous state (i.e., dead).

Thalla the Taskmaster is among the first bosses you will face in Paradis as you explore Avowed's Living Lands. Here's how to beat him.

Hear him out, and he'll explain that he saw you in a dream and interpreted that as a sign to murder you in order to save Paradis from the Aedyrans. As it turns out, that was a bad read, but he takes the fact you are still alive
