The Lady of Paranoia Walkthrough

1 Talk to Syl

Talk to Syl to in the House of Dementia to learn about a conspiracy against her. She will grant you the title of Grand Inquisitor and ask you to investigate the matter.
2 Talk to Herdir

Syl will tell you to talk to Herdir to help with the investigation. Find him at the torture chamber and he'll join you after you tell him you're the Grand Inquisitor.
3 Torture Kithlan for Information

Start the investigation by talking to Kithlan who can be found just sitting right next to Lady Syl. Ask him about the conspiracy and let Herdir torture him twice to get information.
4 Talk to Anya

Find Anya around the palace courtyard and talk to her regarding the conspiracy. She will give you the information once Herdir tortures her the first time.
5 Find Ma'zaddha

Look for Ma'zaddha in his house outside the palace. Ma'zaddha will not tell you anything about the conspiracy even after how many times you let Herdir torture him. You'll have to find evidence from other sources.
6 Gather Information from Citizens

Talk to citizens around town to gather more information about Ma'zaddha's involvement. Use Herdir to torture people for information during this step.

One citizen you can talk to is Caldana Monrius roaming around town. After torturing her once, she will inform you that Ma'zaddha has been meeting with Nelrene at midnight.
7 Follow Ma'zaddha at Midnight

Wait until midnight to find Ma'zaddha meeting with Nelrene by the sewer gate in town. Be sure to stay hidden as they are talking about the conspiracy.
8 Confront Ma'zaddha

After Ma'zaddha and Nelrene finish talking, confront Ma'zaddha and he will confess to the plot. He will be forced to gather information for you and ask you to meet him at his house the next night.

Alternate Route: You may also confront Nelrene about the conspiracy after you finish talking to Ma'zaddha. She will deny any involvement until you get Herdir to torture her three times.
9 Visit Ma'zaddha's House the Next Day

When you visit Ma'zaddha at his house the next night, you'll find him lying in a pool of his own blood. Loot his body and grab the keys to the cupboard in his house.
10 Find Evidence in Ma'zaddha's House

Head to the 2nd floor of Ma'zaddha's house and open the cupboard to find a note and shortsword to be used as evidence against Nelrene.
11 Confront Nelrene with Evidence

Confront Nelrene who can be found at the House of Dementia with the evidence, she will tell you that Muurine is behind the entire plot.
12 Confront Muurine

Find Muurine at her house in town and confront her. She will admit that she's the one behind the plot to assassinate Lady Syl.
13 Report to Syl

Report to Syl and tell her everything you know. She will then ask you to meet her at the torture chamber to witness the punishment for Muurine.
14 Head to the Torture Chamber

At the torture chamber, Muurine will be placed in a cage before being electrocuted to death. Talk to Syl to complete the quest and receive the Ruin's Edge bow and the title, Courtier of Dementia.
