Location
- Tanith can be first encountered in the Volcano Manor, located in the northwest of the Altus Plateau.
Notable Info
First Encounter
Head to Volcano Manor in the Altus Plateau and speak with her near the Volcano Manor Site of Grace and she’ll give you a rundown on what the Volcano Manor, and the Recusants, are all about. Agree to join the manor and she’ll hand over the 
Drawing-Room Key needed to access a room down the western corridor. Inside, you’ll find a host of characters such as 
Knight Bernahl, Rya, and possibly Diallos. 
Patches can also be located near the entrance of the Volcano Manor and all of these characters have Quests that you should finish all of their Volcano Manor related steps before the final assassination contract.
Take a look on the dining table here, and you’ll obtain the 
Recusant Finger and the 
Letter from Volcano Manor, this will detail the location of your first target (which will be marked on the map). This first contract takes you back to Limgrave, where you must slay 
Old Knight Istvan, you’ll find the sign to invade him just north of the Warmaster’s Shack, under the bridge, in Stormhill and you’ll obtain the 
Scaled Set upon his defeat.
Second Encounter
Return to Volcano Manor and speak with Tanith to report news of your success and she will hand over the 
Magma Shot Sorcery. Return to the drawing-room and you’ll find the next Letter from Volcano Manor on the table. Be sure to take the time to progress any other character’s Quest before you head out on your next assassination contract. This time, you’ll need to make your way to where the Shaded Castle is in the north of Volcano Manor and head south to find the sign to invade 
Rileigh the Idle who will drop the 
Crepus’s Vial Talisman.
Third Encounter
Once again, return to Volcano Manor and deliver the news to Tanith to obtain the 
Serpentbone Blade, a 
Katana that inflicts deadly poison. Return to the drawing-room again and this time, you’ll find a 
Red Letter on the table, this is the final assassination contract and completion of it and speaking with Tanith upon it will proceed to the boss of this legacy dungeon.
Your final target is in the Mountaintops of the Giants, so you’ll need to finish the events in the Leyndell, Royal Capital legacy dungeon before you gain access. Once there, make your way to the Ancient Snow Valley Ruins Site of Grace and head northeast to hit the frozen stream. From there, head west and you’ll reach Shack of the Lofty where you can find a red invasion sign to fight 
Juno Hoslow, Knight of Blood. You’ll obtain the 
Hoslow’s Oath gesture at the start of the battle and upon his defeat, the 
Hoslow’s Set and 
Hoslow’s Petal Whip.
Fourth Encounter
Be sure that you’ve completed all necessary steps from characters in the Volcano Manor and then return to Tanith to report your success once more to obtain the 
Taker’s Cameo Talisman, this will restore HP as you defeat enemies. At this point, Tanith asks if you wish to meet her Lord and accepting this will transport you directly to the room to challenge Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy. Return to Tanith after the battle and then return to the Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy Site of Grace to find Tanith now feasting on the remains of her lord.
Tanith will remain here now, although you do have the option of killing her to obtain the 
Consort’s Set although be aware that her Crucible Knight will appear and attack. Defeat the knight however, and you’ll obtain the Aspect of the Crucible: Breath Incantation.
