Szeth chooses to leave Nightblood a distance away when interacting with his [[Highspren]].
 
During their campaign to free [[Emul]], Nightblood accompanies Szeth, Dalinar, and several Windrunners to parley with [[Ishar]]. Crazed, Ishar attempts to form a [[Connection]] with Dalinar to steal his bond to the [[Stormfather]]. Inside of Dalinar's [[perpendicularity]], Szeth uses Nightblood to sever this Connection, thereby saving Dalinar.
 
Nightblood later accompanies Szeth when the Skybreaker invades [[Taravangian]]'s prison and murders him with a normal knife. In the [[Cognitive Realm]], during the time between death and entering the [[Beyond]], Taravangian is confronted by [[Odium]], who is in a vulnerable state due to a conflict of interest between [[Rayse]]—the vessel, and Odium—the Shard. Taravangian reaches the cognitive manifestation of Nightblood and uses it to destroy Rayse, freeing the power of the [[Shard]] to be taken up by Taravangian, who Ascends to Odium.
