During theNeedle Knight Leda questline, she will ask you to suggest Thiollier or Hornsent for a ‘culling’.
Leda will doubt their devotion to Kindly Miquella and ask you which of the two should be executed.
Should you suggest Thiollier or Hornsent?
Suggest Thiollier
You may have already encountered Thiollier.
He is a poison expert usually located at the Pillar Path Cross Site Of Grace in the Gravesite Plain.
Leda will ask you to choose again, which leaves the Hornsent as the only other choice.
If you’re wondering what happens to Thiollier after this, we have a walkthrough ofThiollier’s questline.
As such, he is a divisive character that warrants Leda’s paranoia.
If you suggest Hornsent to Leda, she will think about it.
Both NPCs will disappear from the Highroad Cross Site Of Grace and will next appear at the Shadow Keep.
This area is just before the large lift that takes you to the Specimen Storehouse).
If you assist Leda, the Hornsent will die and Leda will once again target Ansbach next.
If you assist the Hornsent, Leda’s quest will pause here and will resume atEnir-Ilim.
As such, if you want to keep Hornsent alive eitherignore the summon signs or choose to assist Hornent.
See our guide to assisting eitherLeda or the Hornsentfor more information on the reward outcomes of this choice.
If you choose either of these two options, you cansummon Hornsent for the Messmer boss fight.
There should be a summon sign in the arena (rather than outside the door).
Afterwards, the NPCs still alive will return to the Highroad Cross.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the last threat against Hornsent.
