Telemachus first ensures his mother's safety by getting Penelope to go back to the safety of her room. He helps prepare the suitors' death by telling Eumaeus to tell Euryclea to tell the maids to bar shut the doors of the hall. Telemachus stands by his father's side with sword and spear after Odysseus strings his bow, and shoots the arrow through the 12 axe handles. He then proceeds to help kill the suitors.
Telemachus kills Euryades with his spear during the first volley, and Amphimedon with the second spear volley. He then kills Leocritus, son of Evenor.
It is assumed he kills several other men, although they are not named.
Later on, he tells Odysseus whom to spare.
