Leave The Asphodel

Inspect the Area Near Dustbin #3

Go to a dustbin in the corner to look for clues. The search will not yield particularly helpful results, so you and Margie decide to search elsewhere.

Follow the Trail to the Rooftop

Duet Night Abyss wall trail Margie
Follow the quest marker to a building. You and Margie will spot footprints on the wall indicating that the thief climbed up to the rooftop during his escape.

Talk to the Astonished Woman on the rooftop to help with clues on the escaping thief.

Continue Tracking Down the Thief

Go to the girl standing on the rooftop. You can use Helix Jump to get there quickly. Talk to her and ask about the thief. She will mistake you for a participant of a rooftop race and briefly mention a young man who had been jumping across rooftops earlier.

The quest marker will lead you to the thief's location. Jump across the rooftops to get to him. Once there, a cutscene will start and the thief will escape into the sewers.

Follow the Thief into the Sewer

Duet Night Abyss enter the sewers
Jump down from the building and make your way to the sewers. Follow the quest marker to the entrance.

Chase the Thief and Defeat Him

Duet Night Abyss thief

When you enter the sewers, the quest marker will lead you farther in. Keep following it until you and Snow spot the thief facing off against a group of Filthoids. Head to his location and defeat both the thief and the horde of Filthoids in the area.

The Filthoids will keep coming no matter how many you defeat, so make sure to capture the thief once you defeat him, and once you have been prompted to make the capture.
