Dialogue
First encounter:
Oh... hello.
Why am I just sitting here?
I'm the best thief in the Eight Kingdoms.
But what can a thief do against a dragon? A dagger against wyrmscale? No...
So i just sit here.
You... you've slain the dragon?
Well... if you've done that, maybe someone like me can slay mighty monsters as well.
Here, take this brand. It'll hurt, but it's a tool crucial to a thief.
There's treasure in the heart of this island, and it'll be mine. Just you wait.
Second encounter:
I needed to find this place... my blade's been thirsting for blood, and my satchel's been hungry for gold.
Funny though... gold's the reason I'm stuck here.
I had a job: escort a nobleman across the sea.
Me, working? Go on, laugh.
You know, I'm a thief. I dwell in somewhat more... unsavory... channels. But I'm the best.
My services were requested for this top secret mission for the crown, because I'm the best.
But we wrecked on this island. Dunno what happend to that highborn prick.
Don't care.
Most likely he's dead, and not only is my pay forfeit, so is my neck, if I ever set foot back home.
So what's this thief to do? Gather up whatever spoils I can find, scrap together a skiff out of salvage, and sail to Coastrock.
Coastrock's the perfect place for someone like me to shed her notoriety.
Third encounter:
I... I found him.
My nobleman, I mean. I recognized his dress, I'd only seen him from afar before, but there he was, up close, dead.
I cut his robes off in search of jewels. You know what I found?
I found a brand on his neck.
They don't punt brands on the necks of noblemen.
Know who they put brands on the necks of?
Slaves.
A slave in nobleman's dress.
What's a slave doing in nobleman's dress?
My nobleman was a slave...
Do you think your princess was as well?
Yes:
You and I are clever, aren't we?
Sent on fools' errands, shipwrecked on a cursed island.
But to what end?
There's a dark purpose to me being stranded here, but I'm not foolish enough to see what it is.
I'm done hunting treasure. I'll find salvage, craft a seaworthy skiff, and sail southeast.
You know the place: Coastrock.
Last encounter:
Lot of wrecked ships here, pretty sure I'll be able to scrap something together here.
Thanks for keeping me company, friend.
I'd take you with me if I could promise a safe journey, but I can't, so I won't.
Besided, you've got a lady to find, be it a princess or a slave.
For your trouble, here's a share of the spoils I've found.
If you find your way off this island, come to Coastrock, find the Red Falcon, and ask for Edward.
My name's not Edward, but that's how you'll find me.

AnonymousSince this page doesn’t include her dialogue for if you choose “no” as an option during her third encounter here it is:
“Perhaps i was wrong”
“The nobleman could have been kidnapped and branded, then rescued and had his title returned to him?”
“Unlikely but not impossible”
“There is a dark purpose to me being stranded here, but im not foolish enough to see what it is”
“Im done hunting treasure; ill find salvage, craft a seaworthy skiff, and sail southeast”
“You know the place, Coastrock”

"Cannot travel over Ziggurat of Dust to The Far Beach." This is incorrect. I skipped over the Ziggurat and still found her at the Far Beach, got the Tome and achievement. I DID take a few steps into the Mire, enough for the area name to appear, so maybe that's all you need.

I followed a guide but missed the part where you have to answer yes, and said no instead. I realize it just after talking to her,not even making a step, so I tried to shut down my console. It take me back to the sanctuary and I could talk to her again and answer yes this time. Hope it helps.

I don’t get the fuss about the question. It seemed pretty obvious she wanted you to agree with her.

So after speaking with her the third time and having her remind you of Coastrock I tried to meet her at the Beach. She wasn't there. So I killed the Husk boss, the Bloodless Prince and That Stench Most Foul and only then did she show up at the beach. It may be just getting to where you can go through Redshift. TL;DR: Talked in Hager. No show @ beach. Did to Redshift now she's here.

If you got the Shadowflip brand as a sellsword, and you don't have it in your host games, you can get it back simply by inviting the character in which you got it as a sellsword.

Wow, I'm seriously gonna miss out on her trophy because I answered no to her pointless question? ***** off.
- Anonymous
What happens if the player chooses no to the third encounter's question? I chose no, because I thought it wouldn't matter...
- Anonymous
This is so stupid.... not everyone watches guides so not everyone will answer YES to her question about the princess....
- Anonymous
I accidentally killed myself with elemental imbalance and it said "despondent thief" stole your salt! I used the ring to find my salt and sure enough she was sitting in the cave with it, I had to kill her because it was a huge amount.
- Anonymous
So we made the thief vanish from the game by accident before we could obtain the shadowflip brand....so we cannot progress any further is there a way around this?
- Anonymous
If a sellsword picks up the item next to her and player 1 hasn't gotten the brand, she will disappear and the game will be broken and due to auto save its irreversible.

I found and spoke to both the knight and the thief in the Red Hall of Cages.But after killing the Tree of Men and entering Hager's Cavern both are not there!Is there anything else I have to do before they show up? I killed the Disemboweled Husk and cleaned the place out as far as possible at this stage in the game.In a previous playthrough with another Character both were there, but I chose the wrong answer for the thief, of course!!Now with the new char they are missing, pls tell me that my save is not corrupt! Any help is appreciated.

So, I have done everything the guide says and went through all dialogue with her everywhere, I just reached the Far Beach after killing The Dried King and she is not there. Would love an answer that if I bugged it by going there before killing the Dried King the first time, or if she just shows up later. And if so, after which boss does she come from? Do I have to kill the boss in Hager's Cavern? Thanks for the future response.

Its rediculous that you miss this trophy if youve answered No to her question.... how is anyone supposed to figure that out.... also thats for leaving that part out. So far your guide is a shambles

It says "after the three wheel sequence" buts it's actually RIGHT before you can jump to your first wheel. =)
I know this is a dumb question because I have done it before, but how TF do I get to the red hall of cages location? It's too tall to jump and the ladder is too far away
