With the door now removed, Nicelle entered the gondola proper and saw it was littered with a variety of Nazh's devices. He pulled a gun of unknown function on her, causing her reflexes to kick in. She approached him swiftly and used her leecher abilities to drain the device of its Investiture. Upon seeing this, Nazh panicked and tried to take aim again, but this time Nicelle kicked the gun out of his hand and let it plummet off the gondola. While he was distracted, Nicelle grabbed hold of the map. Before she could take it, however, Nazh grabbed onto his side of it. The pair wrestled for control over it, all the while insulting one another until eventually, Nazh fell out of the gondola. Nicelle offered a truce to try and pull him up, but Nazh declined and opted to cut the map in half, causing him to plummet. After confirming her half of the map had the clue she needed, Nicelle travelled down to where Nazh should have landed but found no evidence of him there nor any witnesses to him. While searching, she bumped into [[Hoid]]{{wob ref|1702}}, who offered to tell her a story which she declined. Upon reaching home, she immediately consulted the map for the next clue on her journey.{{file ref|New Ascendancy broadsheet.jpg|The New Ascendancy broadsheet}}
During the six following years, Nicelle eventually served as Jak's assistant for a brief period, which she would consider one of the strangest times in her life, and then became an independent adventurer again. During these adventures, she allegedly befriended two [[kandra|Faceless Immortals]] named [[KeSun]] and [[Tabaar]] who later became her travelling companions. Together, they went on many adventures, with one involving Tabarr having to disguise himself as [[Human]] in
Eventually, Nicelle's travels led her to find the '''Compass of Spirits''', which she believed was central to saving [[Scadrial]]. The compass possessed the ability to send one to the [[Cognitive Realm|ghostly dimension]]. While attempting to reach their destination, one of Nicelle's rivals, [[Vila Mecant]], stole the compass but forgot to take the key with her. Nicelle moved to hand the key to the device to Nazh so that he could keep it away from Vila while Nicelle persuaded her two companions to merge together into a bird. With this done, they gave chase to Vila and Nicelle fought her off, managing to retrieve the compass in the process. Afterwards, she spoke to Nazh who held her and then moved in for a kiss before stealing the compass from Nicelle. He apologised before disappearing to the ghostly dimension. Realising the betrayal, Nicelle was hurt and panicked, realising that there was no way for them to locate Nazh, concluding their quest was lost. KeSun and Tobarr, however, stopped Nicelle and told her that there was another way to enter the ghostly dimension that they had never told her about.{{file ref|The Two Seasons broadsheet.jpg|''The Two Seasons'' Broadsheet}}
