'Last Light', indeed. Savour it while you can.

Involvement

Act Two

Lassandra can be encountered near the entrance to the Shadow-Cursed Lands from the Grymforge lift as part of a Harper expedition, which consists of herself, Karrow, Meygan, and Yonas. Lassandra orders Yonas to move in, but is quickly ambushed and corrupted by a Shadow. If intervening and saving her, Lassandra thanks the party and marks a safe location on their map, known as Last Light Inn. Saving all the harpers (except Yonas) grants the  Not Another Soul inspiration to party members with the  Folk Hero background.

Last Light Inn

At Last Light Inn, Elifer is distrustful of the party despite Lassandra's attempts to vouch for them. She then remains idle near the entrance to the inn, watching over the bridge from the barricades.

After speaking with Jaheira inside the inn, Lassandra moves to the bridge in front of the Last Light Inn with Branthos, Elindale, Manus, and Skywin. They wait for the party so they can intercept and ambush a nearby absolutist convoy and acquire their source of protection against the Shadow Curse. Accepting the mission causes Lassandra and her squad of Harpers casting  Light on their weapons and head toward the Ruined Battlefield, where they lay in wait for the Absolutist convoy. The party can go with the group immediately or catch up with them later, as the ambush site is marked on their map.

If speaking with Isobel and triggering the fight with Marcus, Lassandra will have already moved to the bridge, out of reach of the battle. If Isobel is not saved, Lassandra turns into a  Shadow-Cursed Undead and is found at a rocky ledge near the docks.

Ambush

Lassandra, along with Harpers Skywin, Elindale, Branthos, and Manus is waiting in a run-down shack at the Ruined Battlefield. Approaching the ambush site starts the cut-scene, with Lassandra telling the party to hide and to be ready to send the signal, before spawning the encounter. Once Kar'niss' convoy arrives, the party can attack immediately or hang back. If choosing to stay hidden and keep watching, Kar'niss kills Vez. From there, the party can either signal the Harpers or wait as they start the encounter themselves. After the fight, a Moonlantern can be found on the drider's corpse.

Alternatively, the party can convince Kar'niss to relinquish the Moonlantern and consign the convoy members to their fate as  Shadow-Cursed Undead. Either way, Elindale and his squad then depart amiably and return to Last Light Inn.

Reaching the Shadow-Cursed Lands through the Rosymorn Monastery Trail starts  Follow the Convoy instead. The party can turn on the convoy and help the Harpers, or protect the convoy to continue their cover as a True Soul. Lassandra is absent from this ambush, as she has yet to be rescued from her expedition.

No matter the resolution, if continuing to Last Light Inn, the party can observe Lassandra returning to the sanctuary with Karrow and Meygan.

After Ambush

Once the ambush is over, Lassandra and her first group can later be found mourning Yonas on a rocky ledge near the Last Light Inn docks.

Assault Moonrise Towers

Lassandra, along with Meygan, Mijah, and Karrow do not join the assault against Absolute forces. She remains at the Last Light Inn to patrol its outskirts, before completely disappearing once Ketheric Thorm is defeated.

Notes

• Lassandra wears a set of armor identical to the Scale Mail +2 or Yuan-Ti Scale Mail armor set, but with a combination of colors inaccessible to a player character. She has a Harp-Shaped Pin pinned on her chest.
  • She also wears a unique cosmetic cape that is likewise inaccessible to a player character. The Cloak that she drops has different visuals from the one she uses.
  • She also wears a metal circlet on her head that is visually distinct from other usable headwear, and is inaccessible to player characters.
• If Branthos is killed during the convoy's ambush, Lassandra - if present - can take the lead in talking to the player character instead and conclude the quest.
• Lassandra, much like Karrow, Meygan, and Yonas, are the only level 5 Harpers in Act Two.
  • All the other Harpers in the Last Light Inn are level 6, except for Jaheira, who is level 8.
• It is possible to have Lassandra, Karrow and Meygan "level up" to level 6 by using fast travel to a waypoint in the Rosymorn Monastery Trail, for example Rosymorn Monastery.
• Harper Leysin is an almost-exact physical copy of Lassandra, with the same appearance and outfit, save for having blond hair and different a different stat block.
• As of Patch 8, despite having Extra Attack, Lassandra is not able to attack twice during her turns.
