Together with Adolin and Azure, Elhokar led the assault on the steps of the palace. Each made for their own doorway and created an opening into the palace. They quickly took the entrance hall. The cooridor to the Eastern Gallery was heavily guarded with a shield wall, but Elhokar commanded Azure to assault and clear the way. When the gallery was cleared and Kaladin and his men had secured the Sunwalk, Elhokar eyed the stairways. Elhokar and Kaladin led a group up the stairs to find the queen and heir.{{book ref|sa3|83}} Near the top, Kal and the king went first to clear the landing with their Blades. Elhokar tried to appeal to the loyalty of the palace guards, to no avail. The cross the corridors and eventually Elhokar heard Aesudan's voice. Elhokar talked to Aesudan and asked about his son, who was playing with his 'friends'. The king questioned the queen who was clearly not thinking straight. In the mean time Kaladin found Gavinor surrounded by red glowing spren and freed him. The queen started boasting about her grand plans, but when the king heard his son scream he rushed over and took his son. Kal questioned the motives of the being behind the queen, but Aesudan answered that [[Yelig-nar]] served her. Kal ordered the retreat.{{book ref|sa3|84}}
When they charged down the stairs, they heard sounds of fighting from below. Below it was parshman troops joining the fight, which caused Kaladin to freeze when he recognized them. Elhokar stood in the center of the room holding is son, amid some soldiers. It became a chaotic melee, which Kaladin tried to stop but couldn't. The guards around Elhokar fell and he got hit in his arm. The king fell to his knees holding his son in one arm and Shallan's sketch of him in the other. He then started to stutter, while slowly starting to glow:

Before he could finish the last phrase, a tall, lean man emerged from the battle. [[Moash]] ran Elhokar through the chest with his spear. He then pinned the king to the ground and stabbed him through the eye until the king was dead.{{book ref|sa3|84}}
