You’ll meet Ygwulf during the main story quest “An Untimely End.”

It starts when you get, well, untimely ended upon arriving in Paradis’ Administration District at the end of “Message from Afar” and features a visit to the Watcher in northeast Dawnshore. At the end, you’ll confront Ygwulf and have a choice to make: kill him or forgive him?

Our Avowed guide will explain the choice you make at the end of “An Untimely End,” including how to deal with Ygwulf and if you should forgive him or kill him.

You’ll have several objectives to finish before you track down your would-be assassin. You’ll visit the Watcher and report to the Ambassador. The ambassador will point you to Marius (a new companion) at a bar nearby. You’ll investigate the scene of your murder, and then climb a nearby tower. That’ll point you to an apothecarist and a quick boss fight against Thalla the Taskmaster. After that, the apothecarist will give you two more leads — searching the Claviger’s Estate and investigating the Temple of Ondra.

Check the Claviger’s Estate first — there’s more information there and it’ll save you some running back and forth. That way, when you reach the Temple of Ondra, you can talk your way past Elowe and into the secret hideout in the cistern below it.
