In order to save the Nightsong, you will need to pass a DC 21 Charisma check. If you fail, you can always reload your save until you make it. Once successful, Shadowheart will toss the Spear of Night instead of plunging it into the Nightsong.
With this ending, you will gain two rewards: the Moonlight Glave (Rare) and Selune’s Spear of Night (Legendary). This ending will result in far less deaths, with only Ketheric Thorm perishing after a short, relatively easy boss fight.
