- phase: Shadow of the Erdtree
Leda is an NPC aligned with Miquella who evaluates whether companions such as Thiollier, Hornsent, and Sir Ansbach pose a threat. Suggesting Hornsent, or suggesting no one, can lead her to pursue him, opening a Shadow Keep summon-sign encounter where the player may aid Leda against Hornsent or aid Hornsent against Leda. Helping Leda against Hornsent rewards the Lacerating Crossed-Tree Talisman and later shifts her focus to Ansbach, while siding against her can remove her from the Highroad Cross [Steam Guides 2962429869]
