Why would the "her" be Aglaecwif when she was still in the same cave the MC just left? He already knows Aglaecwif location because MC recently encountered her. If she left the cave afterwards, Goliath wouldn't know her new location since he was fighting Lexi the entire time. It seems to point to Ella because he immediately goes directly towards her after getting the info from Goliath.The Arbiter referring to Ella as a perfected spawn suggests it wasn't after her.
I suggest that the "her" it was seeking was Aglaecwif.
We also have to look at Aglaecwif herself. We know she's a descendant of the 4th and has the Memory Trait. She also has the dark magic that's rare among even the monster race. The Memory Trait has no value, the MC already has it. The Dark Magic isn't really important for an Arbiter, who likely already mastered it. What other reason could he want with Aglaecwif? Could there be something unknown that we don't know about? Sure but he went towards Ella and Nico fight.
I'm not ruling out Aglaecwif completely, because it's still possible. The only girls/female monsters we know who was there in Hex's dimension are:
Ella
Aglaecwif
Nico
Nyx
Alexis
Alice
Laurie
Tiffany
Zara
Charlie
Jill
We can immediately remove Lexi, Alice, Laurie, Jill and possibly Aglaecwif. Since he sent Lexi flying, Jill already left via Nico and the other 3 were in the same location as him. That leaves Ella, Nico, Nyx, Zara, Tiffany and Charlie. Charlie could be an interesting one, especially with her implied connection to Shopkeep but Zara seems unlikely. Nico, Nyx, Tiffany and Ella are the next likely ones. We can probably remove Nico, since he wasn't really focused on her.
Now we're down to Ella, Nyx, Tiffany and Charlie. Besides Ella, these other three locations became completely unknown. But since he searched Goliath, I'm guessing they had to be connected to Ella in some capacity so Nyx and Tiffany are likely removed now too. That leaves Charlie and Ella.
So for me, I think it was Ella since when you narrow it all the way down while accounting for locations. He went immediately to Ella's Cave Room.
