While protecting Dalinar, he is disarmed by Nale, his former master and clearly his better in combat. Dalinar escapes Nale's attack unscathed.{{book ref\|sa4\|47}} In an unusual deviation from his typical silent stoicism, Szeth offers Dalinar advice on Taravangian, saying that the aged king was not to be trusted.{{book ref\|sa4\|66}} While watching Dalinar and little [[Gavinor Kholin\|Gavinor]], Szeth's highspren told him he must soon complete his Fourth Ideal.{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|7}} Taravangian had deduced earlier that Szeth must be in Emul{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|6}} and had seen through his Lightwoven disguise.{{book ref\|sa4\|66}} Taravangian requested a stone matching the description of Szeth's Oathstone in order to get Szeth to confront him.{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|7}} Unfortunately, this confrontation happened on a day when Taravangian iswas dumb and compassionate, and therefore unable to manipulate Szeth. His pleas for Szeth to give Nightblood to Dalinar for use on [[Rayse]] during a vision were ignored.{{book ref\|sa4\|i\|9}} Szeth attended Dalinar's planning session in which he planned to confront [[Ishar]]. Szeth was surprised by the Herald's marked similarity to modern-day Shin.{{book ref\|sa4\|98}} Later, he hands Dalinar the original copy of [[Oathbringer (in-world)\|''Oathbringer'']] as they prepare to confront Ishar.{{book ref\|sa4\|101}}. Szeth then flew with the strike team to meet Ishar. At first, he stayed back. When Ishar summoned his Honorblade, which was previously held by Neturo-son-Vallano, Szeth's father, Szeth was shaken and collapsed. Just as Ishar is about to take Dalinar's bond to the [[Stormfather]], Szeth steps in and uses Nightblood to slash the [[Connection]]. He then collapsed the perpendicularity, and, raging at Ishar, struck the Honorblade with Nightblood, leaving a chip in the Honorblade.{{book ref\|sa4\|111}} Szeth then went to Taravangian's makeshift prison, intending to kill him. An incredibly dumb and emotional Taravangian was unable to stop him, but fortunately was pulled into a vision by Odium right as Szeth is stabbing him with an ordinary knife. Taravangian used the slowing of time to grab Nightblood and stab Rayse, killing him. Taravangian then Ascended to Odium.{{book ref\|sa4\|113}} Szeth re-sheathed Nightblood, and, mistaking Rayse's corpse for Taravangian's and thinking the deed done, left. He confessed to the murder of Taravangian, supposing him to have somehow drawn Nightblood and been consumed by it.{{book ref\|sa4\|~~113~~114}} He intended to next travel to Shinovar to complete his Fourth Ideal.{{book ref\|sa4\|111}}
