Author's Preface
����������������
Welcome back to Thedas! On this large continent in the southern hemisphere
we traverse numerous territories to include Orlais and Ferelden. The Dragon Age
is continuing three years from the events at Kirkwall in the Free Marches, a
mysterious person is emerging from the Fade when an event known as The Breach
occurs. You will become the Inquisitor, leading a newly reformed Inquisiton
that is composed of characters from previous installments and some brand new
characters. You're tasked with closing this tear in the Veil, stopping the
demons that are pouring in from the Fade, and saving Thedas.
The task at hand isn't easy, but with a little help you'll be able to conquer
this event and cement yourself in Dragon Age legend. This guide will lead you
down whichever path you choose, detailing the consequences of your action or
inaction, noting enemies and their weaknesses, how to combat these foes both
on the battlefield and politically as you gain influence, and showing you how
to acquire every item and codex. Good luck Inquisitor and enjoy your stay!

������������������������������������������������
The Iron Bull
�������������
Specialization: Reaver
Qunari are known across Thedas as the brutal horned giants who descended from
the north to nearly conquer the continent. These ruthless followers of a harsh
philosophy enforce their will through the Ben-Hassrath: their spies and secret
police. One brilliant agent did it all, hunting spies, rebels, and deserters
until the day he finally broke. To preserve a valuable asset, his superiors sent
him to Orlais to observe and report� and The Iron Bull was born.
Today, Bull�s Chargers are famous mercenaries, fiercely loyal to the huge Qunari
warrior who leads them into battles and taverns with equal enthusiasm. The Iron
Bull still sends the Ben-Hassrath reports, but years of living outside Qunari
rules have him wondering which identity is really him. Whoever he is, he�s more
than happy to join the Inquisition and get paid to kill demons.
Varric Tethras
��������������
Specialization: Artificer
Varric Tethras is one part adventurous rogue, one part dashing storyteller, and
three parts trouble. Born on the surface, Varric has little love for his
underground brethren -- all his contacts lie with the dwarves of the Merchants
Guild, though he has little taste for their schemes. Still, he has found a place
as an outsider, rubbing shoulders with both the wealthy elite as well as the
worst of scoundrels. To hear him tell of it, that�s all he truly cares about,
though anyone who truly knows him claims differently. They say that, try as he
might, Varric has been drawn more and more into conflicts that shake the world
-- ones that he can�t get himself out of with a quick tale.

Cassandra Pentaghast
��������������������
Specialization: Templar
Though of noble birth, Cassandra Pentaghast turned her back on a life of wealth
and privilege to join the Seekers of Truth. The ancient order serves as a
watchful eye over corruption and magical threats, granted ultimate authority in
its investigations by the Chantry -- or it did, prior to abandoning their duty
in response to the mage rebellion. Cassandra did not join her brothers in this,
instead remaining loyal to Divine Justinia and her efforts to restore order in
the face of chaos. She is both pious and driven, the sword in the right hand of
the Divine, seeking justice above all else.

Heroes of Dragon Age
Solas
�����
Specialization: Rift Mage
Solas has spent his life as an apostate, living in the wilderness well away from
the civilized world and those who would shackle him for what he is. He mastered
his magic without the help of tutors, spending years exploring the spirit realm
of the Fade and coming to an understanding of its denizens that few others could
claim. He would be happiest left alone to sleep in ancient ruins, searching for
memories and knowledge that has been lost for ages, but the Breach in the sky
threatens all worlds.
At a time when other mages flee into hiding, Solas has put his freedom at risk
by emerging from the shadows to assist those who would combat the chaos. He will
not stand idly by when his knowledge of the arcane could mean the difference
between salvation and utter destruction.
Blackwall
���������
Specialization: Champion
The Grey Wardens hold a lonely vigil, enduring lives of hardship and sacrifice
to protect the world from an evil that can never truly be conquered. Few would
volunteer for this: the suffering, isolation, and promise of a violent death.
But the path of a Warden is also one of valor, and those who give themselves to
the cause are rewarded with the knowledge that they have become something more
than they were. Blackwall is one of the rare few Wardens who chose, of his own
accord, to pick up the shield. He believes so wholeheartedly in the noble ideal
of the Grey Wardens that he would rather have this life than any other.
Cullen
������
Cullen has seen the worst that magic and corruption can do to innocent people.
Trained from a young age, he has devoted more than half his life in service to
the Templar Order. He saw the Ferelden Circle fall during the Blight and was
witness to the mage-templar conflict that tore Kirkwall apart. In the aftermath,
it was Cullen who rallied what remained of Kirkwall's templars to restore order
to the devastated city. His leadership and integrity caught the attention of
Cassandra Pentaghast, who recognized in him a vital component in forming the
Inquisition. Now the world is falling into chaos. Cullen is through waiting for
others to act, and he's determined that the Inquisition will make a difference
for the people of Thedas.

Leliana
�������
She has many names. Most know her as "Sister Nightingale� or �the Left Hand of
the Divine.� To the rare friend, she is Leliana. They say she found faith amid
darkness, and that her devotion to the Maker is matched only by her devotion to
Divine Justinia V, a woman who is both mentor and savior. Those who have earned
her loyalty know her as a steadfast ally. But enemies of the Divine know to fear
her, for she is the shadow behind the Sunburst Throne -- the one who watches and
waits, who strikes when her mark is most vulnerable and least suspecting.

Vivienne
��������
Specialization: Knight-Enchanter
Referred to as Madame de Fer, �the Lady of Iron�, Vivienne lives up to her
title. A leader among the mages and official enchanter to the Imperial court,
she is renowned as a fearsome woman who achieved her position through guile and
deft political maneuvering. Vivienne allows nothing to stand in the way of what
she desires -- not those who claim she is a social climber, not those who seek
to restrict her power, not even her fellow mages who would conscript her into a
rebellion with which she disagrees. Vivienne fights to restore order in a world
gone mad... so long as that leaves her among those left standing, once all is
said and done.
Previous Appearances: Dragon Age: The Masked Empire (Mentioned)
Sera
����
Specialization: Tempest
Sera is impulsive and revels in the moment. For her, it's not about what's
right, it's about what's right now. In the Friends of Red Jenny, she humbled
authority and had fun doing it. But now the nobility are being not just selfish
but blind. War, demons, a torn sky: these are more than troubling -- they're
terrifying. Fortunately, Sera and her "friends" can be frightening, too, and if
she needs to put an arrow through some baddies so regular people can sleep at
night, so be it. Sera fights for those caught in the middle, but she also needs
order restored. The world has to be normal so she can play.
Dorian
������
Specialization: Necromancer
Being from a proud bloodline of the Tevinter Imperium has its advantages: Dorian
was born with a flair for magic that made him the envy of his peers. He is
charming and confident, his wit as sharp as any blade, and if some suggest his
manner cocky, it could be attributed to being a powerful mage in a land where
mages rule. Indeed, Dorian would be the pride of his family -- if he didn't
oppose everything his homeland has come to stand for. He wears the labels of
"pariah" and "outcast" proudly, knowing that views of the Imperium are unlikely
to change until and unless someone of his ability stands up to make a
difference.
Cole
����
Specialization: Assassin
He is a ghost in the shadows, walking unnoticed through crowds. He can slit an
enemy's throat before they even realize he's there, and slip away, never to be
seen again. Those few who do notice him soon forget he ever existed... and Cole
isn't certain that he does exist. He is a spirit, impossibly caught between the
immaterial realm of the Fade and the confusing realities of our physical world,
but does that make him real? Does it make him human or a demonic pretender, as
some believe?
All Cole knows for certain is that the world is full of pain and he must find
his place within it. Those who wish to restore order and help the helpless will
find him a strange but unwavering ally. Those who use their power for selfish
reasons may never see Cole again -- if they remember that he was there to begin
with.
Previous Appearances: Dragon Age: Asunder
Josephine
���������
The Inquisition's power is not absolute: it must earn its place among the forces
in conflict. Sister Leliana understands this well, and has called on an old
friend, Lady Josephine Montilyet, to be the Inquisition�s ambassador in the
halls of the influential. The eldest daughter of a noble Antivan family,
Josephine is a rising star among diplomats, skilled at forging alliances with
tact, grace, and carefully cultivated favors. She is a consummate planner who
understands that resurrecting the Inquisition will require support and goodwill
from Thedas's movers and shakers. Fortunately, the ambassador enjoys a
challenge, and she sincerely believes that the Inquisition is the best way to
halt the chaos sweeping Thedas.
Morrigan
��������
Whether the dark-haired sorceress seeks to influence the Imperial throne, or
harbors more sinister motives, no-one knows for certain. This Witch of the Wilds
arrived in Orlais rather suddenly three years ago as the newly-appointed �arcane
advisor� to Empress Celene. In this role, Morrigan presents a source of
information unfiltered by religious dogma, and satisfies Celene�s life-long
curiosity about magic. However, whispers carry concern of Morrigan having Celene
wrapped around her finger, teaching the Empress forbidden, dark arts in secret.

Dragon Age Keep
���������������
With Dragon Age: Inquisition being on multiple platforms, the ability to
directly import your save game has been taken away. That's not a bad thing, you
can now use the Dragon Age Keep to make all of your choices and you can import
your save games to the Dragon Age Keep to synchronize everything. From here you
can export your game to Dragon Age: Inquisition and will be prompted as such
when you start up a new game. You will need to sign up for a free Origin account
in order to use Dragon Age Keep.
Dialogue Choices
����������������
Like the previous games, you'll be able to choose your answers and reactions to
many events in the game through dialogue. Each option has an icon displayed with
it to signify how you are responding.
GENERIC
� General - This response is simply for answering a question. It is an arrow
with branching paths.
� Investigate - This usually opens up to other options. It is a question mark.
� Attack - This response starts a battle. It is two crossed swords.
� Payment - This option allows you to pay or request payment. It is a money
bag with an alert expression.
� Romance - This is a romantic response and will earn romance points if the
character can be romanced by the Inquisitor. It is a heart.
� End Romance - This ends a potential relationship. It is a broken heart.
SPECIAL
� Special - This is a special response based on actions and responses you
have previously made. It is a star.
� Stoic - During events that are emotional, you may choose to remain stoic
and show no emotion. This is a figure with crossed arms.
� Sad - During events that are emotional, you may choose to be sad. This
is a crying eye.
� Pleased - When questioned on your opinion of situations you may respond
with this answer. This is a thumbs-up.
� Mad - When questioned on your opinion of situations you may respond
with this answer. This is a red closed-fist.

act appropriately for immoral people. You must purchase this

politics to respond to a situation. You must purchase this for
1 Inquisition Perk from Josephine.

� Elf
� Dwarf
� Qunari
� Human
Character Approval
������������������
Through your dialogue choices and actions you'll be able to effect the way other
characters in the game view your Inquisitor. Higher approval means that person
approves of your actions and likes your character. Lower approval means the
opposite and could lead to that member leaving. The amount of approval you gain
or lose is noted in game with the following text:
Strongly Approves - +3 Approval
Approves - +2 Approval
Slightly Approves - +1 Approval
Slightly Disapproves - -1 Approval
Disapproves - -2 Approval
Strongly Disapproves - -3 Approval
Romance
�������
During some conversation with your companions you're given the option to choose
Romance dialogue. This usually gains some approval, but if you keep flirting
with that particular character and side with them on topics throughout the game
you will eventually be able to do their Inner Circle quests that cement the
relationship. Cole, Varric, Vivienne, and Leliana cannot be romanced.
The Character Menu
������������������
In this menu you can pick your abilities, set tactics and behaviors, and look
at your character attributes. You earn one Ability Point per level up and one
per Amulet of Power used for your character, Humans also begin with an
additional Ability Point. The abilities are Active if they are a diamond, they
are Passive if they are a circle. Passive abilities can also grant stat
increases which can help determine your build.
Tactics and Behaviors are a little different than they were in past games.
The Tactics menu simply lets you choose which abilities to use or not use and
which ones that are preferred. Behaviors are just minor checks on Healing Potion
use and Mana/Stamina Reserve, and what you want that character to do when they
reach those thresholds. It's also useful for how that character will target
enemies in combat.
Attributes are a bit more in-depth than in past games. Equipping weapons, armor,
and accessories will increase these bonuses:

Elves are a historically oppressed people, distinguishable by their lithe frames
and pointed ears. Though most survive in the poorest fringes of human cities,
others live as nomads known as the Dalish. Elves receive a bonus of 25% to
Ranged Defense.
Warrior/Rogue
�������������
You were raised in the wilderness to be a hunter, relied upon by the Lavellan
clan for food and protection. The clan wandered the northern Free Marches and
had little need to interact with humans�until the clan's Keeper sent you to the
Chantry's conclave as a spy. What happened there, she said, would impact not
only the Dalish but indeed all elves. She could not have known how right she
was.
Mage
����
Enslaved long ago by humans, most elves still live as second-class citizens
within human cities. Elves who reject this life are known as the Dalish:
nomadic wanderers who strive to keep the ancient elven religion and traditions
alive. You grew up in the wilderness, a member of the Lavellan Dalish clan and
apprentice to its leader and guide, the Keeper. The clan wandered the northern
Free Marches, and you had little need to interact with humans -- until the
Keeper sent you to the Chantry's conclave as a spy. What happened there, she
said, would impact not only the Dalish but indeed all elves. She could not have
known how right she was.
D W A R F
���������
Dwarves are short, stocky, and most spend their entire lives underground. Those
living in exile on the surface are commonly merchants or smugglers. Because
dwarves have no connection to the Fade, they cannot be mages, but receive a 25%
bonus to Magic Defense.
Warrior/Rogue
�������������
The dwarves of Thedas are known for their once-vast underground empire and
guilds of merchants and warriors held in high esteem by the other races of
Thedas. Not you. A cast-off "surfacer," unwelcome among the dwarves or most
humans, you have scraped by as part of a criminal fraternity known as the Carta,
smuggling magical ore known as lyrium. As part of the ruthless Cadash crime
family, you spent your life on the streets of various Free Marcher city-states
-- until you were sent to the Chantry conclave as a spy and everything changed.
H U M A N
���������
Humans are the most numerous and powerful race in Thedas. They are also the most
divided politically and seem to thirst for conflict. Human characters receive a
bonus ability point at the start of the game.
Warrior/Rogue
�������������
As the youngest child of the Trevelyan noble house, you grew up in the Free
Marcher city of Ostwick and have enjoyed a life of privilege. With close family
ties to the Chantry, and many relatives among the priesthood and the templars,
you were always expected to follow a similar path in service of the Maker --
regardless of how you feel about the matter personally. Willing or unwilling,
you were sent to the Chantry's conclave to assist relatives who sought to make
peace between the templars and mages. It didn't go well.
Mage
����
Born to the Trevelyan noble family of Ostwick in the Free Marches, you were
originally intended for a life of privilege�until magical abilities surfaced at
a young age and you were forced into a life of confinement within Ostwick's
Circle of Magi. Protected but stifled, educated but isolated, the Circle would
have been your entire future had the mages not rebelled against Chantry rule.
Like it or not, you had to fight for your life against templars hunting down all
"free" mages. You joined the delegation of mages attending a Chantry conclave in
hopes of negotiating peace with the templars. It didn't go well.
Q U N A R I
�����������
The Qunari are a race of horned giants who follow a strict religious text known
as the Qun. Those who have abandoned its principles are known as Tal-Vashoth and
often work as mercenaries. Qunari characters receive a bonus of 10% to melee
defense.
Warrior/Rogue
�������������
As part of the Valo-kas mercenary company, you have earned a living by your own
wits and the strength of your blade, ignoring the fearful looks you receive from
those around you. Most recently the company was sent to the Chantry conclave as
hired swords meant to keep the peace between mages and templars�a task that has
gone horribly wrong.
Mage
����
Followers of the strict religious philosophy of the Qun, the Qunari appeared
like a tidal wave to the north of Thedas three hundred years ago. You are
Tal-Vashoth, a Qunari who has rejected the Qun and never even lived in Qunari
lands. As part of the Valo-kas mercenary company, you have earned a living by
your own wits and the strength of your blade, ignoring the fearful looks you
receive from those around you. Most recently the company was sent to the Chantry
conclave as hired swords meant to keep the peace between mages and templars --
a task that has gone horribly wrong.

Mage
����
Those who can tap into the raw energy of the Fade and block the whispering
temptations of demons are truly exceptional. When they turn that mental focus
onto the field of war, they can be truly terrifying opponents. Rains of fire,
walls of ice, or even the ability to heal allies make up a mage�s toolkit. Most
employ considerable skills rendering foes not only weakened, but also vulnerable
to physical attacks, setting up opportunities for their teammates to exploit.
Knight Enchanter
- These rare mages received special dispensation from the Chantry to serve in
battle. They summon blades from the Fade and are experts in protection and
defense.
Necromancer
- These mages specialize in binding the spirits that are drawn to death. They
can put the fear of death into enemies, bring spirits to fight on their
behalf, and even cause devastating explosions when their enemies die.
Rift Mage
- These mages draw upon the force of the Fade, either pulling matter from the
Fade to attack or twisting the Veil itself into a weapon to stagger or crush
their enemies.
Rogue
�����
Armed with bows, daggers, and any number of dirty tricks, the rogue�s primary
focus is damage: tearing foes down one at a time with systematic efficiency.
Rogues commonly use a mixture of stealth and mobility to reach positions of
advantage, be it a sniper�s perch away from enemy blades or behind an
unsuspecting mage. Deadly and resourceful, rogues can tip the balance of any
strategic assault.
Artificer
- These specialists control the battlefield with deadly traps. Neither they nor
their explosive mines are ever where the enemy expects them to be.
Assassin
- Any rogue can kill a target, but assassins make death into an art form. They
specialize in quick, deadly kills that let them slide back into the shadows
undetected, or indirect kills that eliminate targets while the assassin is
safely away.
Tempest
- These unpredictable experts specialize in using alchemical mixtures that
wreathe them in frost or flame. Fast, chaotic, and possibly mad, they wade
into the fight and dare enemies to face the storm.
Warrior
�������
Battle-hardened and masters of close combat, warriors are pivotal to any group
entering battle. As front-line fighters, they absorb the brunt of opponent
attacks, steal enemy focus, and create an opening for deadly ranged assaults
from other classes. While some warriors prefer visceral, sweeping damage, many
are silverite-clad bulwarks, weathering any blows they don�t deflect with their
shields.
Champion
- These powerful defenders protect their allies from harm, standing strong
against devastating blows with expert training and fierce determination.
Enemies can't kill them�and usually can't survive them.
Reaver
- As the battle gets bloodier, these vicious and deadly warriors get even more
brutal. Hurting them just makes them mad, a mistake most enemies don't live
to repeat.
Templar
- These unrelenting warriors specialize in fighting mages and demons. No enemy's
magic can withstand them, and they inspire and protect their allies with their
righteous power.

Preface
�������
The Walkthrough is written for Nightmare difficulty so the strategies included
are for the hardest mode. Some things might not seem necessary on lower levels
of difficulty, often things that are not heavy damage in Normal can destroy
your party in Nightmare. Most items are random in the game. Rare Schematics and
Unique (Purple) items seem to be static, but Rare Armor and Weapons are random
in nature. They will be noted as such when you loot the container, so if you
wanted it's possible to save, open the chest, decide whether you like the Rare
Weapon/Armor or not and reload if you don't.

Get to the Rift with Cassandra
������������������������������
At the start of the game you'll be able to choose your race and class then you
can customize the looks of your character. Some scenes will take place at this
point and you can answer however you wish. Once you gain control head through
the gate and turn left. The path is fairly linear, just navigate over the bridge
where it gets taken out and you are forced into battle. You'll pick up a weapon
that is suited to the class you chose at the start, ie; an Archer will find a
bow, Mages will find a Staff, Two-Hand Warriors will find a Greatsword. The two
Shades are simple enough to defeat, if you lure the one focusing on you over to
Cassandra she can use Taunt to allow you flanking and distance if you are
ranged.
Ahead you'll find a lootable [CORPSE] then two more Shades. Send Cassandra
down into the lower levels to get their attention then follow up with your own
arsenal. Turn around go near the trees to find some [IRON] then jump back to
the frozen river. Go left to find some loot and [ELFROOT] then climb up the
cliff to the left by jumping. You'll find more loot near the wagons as you head
back to the bridge. Loot the [ELFROOT] then head back to the frozen stream.
Continue down the frozen stream to find a Shade and up the stairs a
Wraith -- this enemy strikes from a distance so take it out first. Check the
corner to the right of the ramp for some [ELFROOT] then head over the hill and
look right to find a Lesser Shade and Wraith, easily wrangled up by Cassandra.
There is some fire nearby, look from it across the ice to find two more Wraiths
and a Lesser Shade. Head to the right of the staircase infront of you to find
some [IRON] and [ELFROOT] then ascend.
A number of Shades infest this area, but you have some help. Quickly dispatch
these foes to trigger a scene where you'll meet Solas and Varric Tethras. From
here you'll receive a new task.
Reach the Forward Camp
����������������������
Go down the ramp and button hook right to the corner. Loot the corpse to find
a [FIGURINE OF MAFERATH THE BETRAYER] and some [IRON]. Move down the path to an
open area in the ice. Numerous Shades and Wraiths appear, so focus on the
Wraiths first to allow your party to focus on the Greater Shade all at once.
You can actually do a little exploring at this point. Turn right and go past the
house for now, you'll find some [IRON] up the hill. Go back down the hill and
right of the trees, you'll find more [IRON] and then [ELFROOT] behind the rock.
Enter the house and loot the few things inside. Go straight down the river,
bypassing the steps to your right. Search the burning house for some loot,
behind it is another [ELFROOT]. Continue along the path, more [ELFROOT] along
the way up the hill where you'll find a Greater Shade and two Lesser Shades in
a camp. Defeat them and loot the [IRON] then the [LIFEWARD AMULET].
Make your way back to center then head up the staircase. Another Greater Shade
is accompanied by Lesser Shades and Wraiths, remember to take out the Wraiths
first! Up the hill to right is more [IRON], if you follow the path you'll find
more [ELFROOT] amidst the trees before the Rift. Your objective here is to
clear out the area and seal the Rift. Use your Action command to seal it, you
will gain enough experience to level up at this point so assign your points
carefully. Don't proceed just yet, turn left and go slightly down the cliff to
find yet another [ELFROOT].
At the Forward Camp you can replenish your potions and loot a [STRONGBOX]. You
will find Leliana and be forced to make a decision on how to reach the Temple
of Sacred Ashes.
Reach the Temple through the Mountain Path
������������������������������������������
Climb up aways, when you reach the tunnel you'll find a Greater Shade and two
Wraiths waiting for you. Proceed up the stairs and down the path a little until
you reach a small room. Light the torch and loot the [CHEST] before continuing
on. Ahead you can loot some smaller items, up the stairs is a Greater Shade,
Lesser Shade, and two Wraiths waiting to ambush you. Loot the [SACK] on the
balcony and head outside. Veer off the path to the left to spot more [IRON] and
[ELFROOT], ahead is another Rift
Like last time defeat the wave of demons but be prepared for a new enemy, the
Lesser Terror, after you defeat the initial wave. Seal the Rift then head down
the ladder.
Charge with the Soldiers
������������������������
Head up to a small encampment. Plenty of dead bodies to the left, but more
importantly a [STRONGBOX] to the right with assorted gear and loot. Continue
past the gate and join the soldiers already fighting the Wraiths and Shades.
As you get to the rift in the distance, two new enemies, the Lesser Terrors,
will show up. Take them out and then seal the Rift. You'll get a cut-scene
here as you push onward to the temple.
Find a Way Down to the Rift
���������������������������
Loot the body here then descend for a quick cutscene. Afterwards, progress
around and drop down to the Breach for another scene.

Strategy
��������
The Pride Demon has some nasty little abilities, one of which is an electric
whip that reaches quite a distance. The best practice for this battle is to
have Cassandra use Challenge then move her towards a wall with her back to it.
This way the Pride Demon has his back to the rest of the party and you can
utilize Solas and Varric's ranged attacks. Use your Inquisitor to disrupt the
Fade Rift, this will stun the Pride Demon and weaken it temporarily allowing
for a chunk of damage to be dealt. Be careful at this point, Lesser Shades will
join the fray when you interrupt the Fade Rift.
Do your best to keep Barrier on Cassandra and have her use Challenge and Shield
Wall to mitigate as much damage as possible. When the Lesser Shades come you
should change your focus to them then back to the Pride Demon. When it uses
Guard you can disrupt the Fade Rift again to break it then stun and weaken the
foe. Repeat this a few times and you'll come out victorious.

After the short scene you can loot an item from the middle of the floor. Check
the paper on the desk for [PATIENT OBSERVATIONS]. You'll also find some special
items in the box nearby. Head outside when you are ready.
From where you awaken head behind the building to the northwest. Here you'll
find two [ELFROOT] and a [CHEST]. Continue behind the house you came from for
another [ELFROOT]. Continue to the left of the starting place to find more
[ELFROOT] and a [POT] that can be looted. Head up the steps to find a note on
the left pillar, [ANDRASTE'S MABARI]. Check the pot to your left then go behind
the house to find two [ELFROOT]. Inside the house you'll find a note that
updates the [PATIENT OBSERVATIONS].
There's plenty to loot in the tent area, including a [CHEST] that gives some
[SONG LYRICS] for Patron of the Arts. To the right of the Chantry you'll find
two [ELFROOT] and on the left another with a sack and pot as well. There are a
number of houses to the right of the chantry, as well as loot. Inside the
houses over here is another [PATIENT OBSERVATIONS] as well as [THE RANDY
DOWAGER QUARTERLY]. You can also fing two [ELFROOT] around the houses if you
look. After nabbing these things head to the chantry.
Head inside to the left to spot a sack and a note on the counter that is [THE
FADE]. Check the scroll on the barrel nearby for [A CHANT FOR THE DEPARTED],
then take the first door on the left. Down the hallway you'll find a pot and
two notes, [CHANTRY HIERARCHY] and [FOUNDING OF THE CHANTRY]. At the end of the
hall you'll find prison cells that a Rogue can open and a [SMALL CHEST] that
has something good.
Head back up and into the next room on the left. Here you'll find a note
covering [THE CHILDREN OF ANDRASTE] as well as a Research Station and Minaeve.
Go across the hall and read the book on the bed for [THE MAKER] then head into
the main door for a cutscene.
Report to Haven's Chantry
�������������������������
Feel free to explore Haven a little bit, there's quite a few things you can do
before you head to the Chantry. Visit the Chantry to trigger a cutscene where
you'll have plenty of chances to respond. From here you'll enter the War Table
where you can pick Orlais or Ferelden. You'll need to choose Ferelden and then
Scout the Hinterlands. From here you must spend 1 Power by using Secrets. You
should start by sending some people out to locations in Ferelden, most of them
are on a pretty short timer.
War Table
- The Fallow Mire (Lost Soul)
- The Storm Coast (Vigilance on the Coast)
Travel to the Hinterlands to Speak with Mother Giselle
������������������������������������������������������
Head to the Crossroads at the Hinterlands when you are ready to proceed. Do
take some time to set up camps and the like. Here you'll need to defeat a few
apostates. Take the time to claim the landmark here, [SAGA OF TYRDDA BRIGHT-
AXE, AVVAR-MOTHER], then focus on taking out the mages. Once you do this you
will have a wave of 4 Templars come in from the west so take some cover. The
Defender and Knight can be brutal. Try to keep one of the Feared or Frozen so
you can take out the Templar Archers quickly. Once you defeat them you'll gain
control of the Crossroads.
Travel to Val Royeaux
���������������������
Talk to Corporal Vale, he asks for help along with a myriad of other activities.
These will gain Power allowing you to travel to Val Royeaux, you will need at
least 4 Power to do this. You enter in the Main level, check out all the plaques
along the way to the center to gain [THE AVENUE OF HER REFLECTIVE THOUGHT].
Turn left to find another plaque then check the bulletin board. You'll want to
inspect the numerous plaques around the central pillar, it's a lot of
experience. Address the Templars in the central area to advance the plot.
You'll want to return to the Chantry in Haven to progress the story but Val
Royeaux offers new companions and lots of exploration! As you move around Grand
Enchanter Fiona will address you at some point, you now have two paths --
[CHAMPIONS OF THE JUST] and [IN HUSHED WHISPERS]. When you return to the Chantry
at Haven you'll have to speak with the group.

Travel to Redcliffe and Make Contact with the Mages
���������������������������������������������������
Head to the Chantry at Haven, you don't have to make a decision right now so
you can say whatever you want during the scene. From here you'll want to go to
the Crossroads in the Hinterlands and head north. It should be a pretty quiet
run until you get almost there. The objective will change and a Fade Rift can
be seen in the distance. Defeat the few Lesser Terrors that attack then close
the Fade Rift and go through the gate.
Go to the Gull & Lantern to Meet Fiona
��������������������������������������
There's a lot to do in Redcliffe. Go around and shop, start some quests by
speaking to the people around town, and break into some houses if you can. There
are plenty of codex entries to find as well for quick experience gain. You can
even find Connor, son of the previous Arl of Redcliffe, down by the docks
pending he is still alive in your game. Head to the Gull & Lantern tavern when
you are done running around. You'll meet Grand Enchanter Fiona, but oddly enough
she thinks is the first time you've met. Something is definitely going on and
just when you thought you'd never get an answer, it comes barging through the
door.
Magister Alexius of the Tevinter Imperium walks in with his son Felix. You need
to deal with Alexius because Fiona has no negotiation powers anymore. Answer how
you wish, Felix eventually feigns illness and casually drops a note for you. The
note warns about Alexius and asks you to meet in the Chantry. Before doing so,
talk with people in the tavern. Clemence will ask to join the Inquisition after
your conversation with him, he aids Cullen in completing operations 5% faster.
In the Chantry you'll meet Dorian and he needs your assistance closing a Fade
Rift. The enemies include Wraiths and Terrors, be sure to freeze them in place
so you can defeat the Wraiths more easily. Close the Fade Rift and talk to
Dorian. He breaks the news on what Alexius is trying to do and asks to be there
if you are going after him.
NOTE: You can break into the two homes that are locked tight with the Deft Hands
Perk. Inside the Wheelhouse you'll find a [CHEST] with a [MASTERWORK
SCHEMATIC] and a [BOTTLE OF THEDAS] on the table. The other house has
the [LYRIUM] codex and a [CHEST]
Head back to Haven, it's time to make a decision. To stay on this path just
choose "In Hushed Whispers" -- it still costs 15 Power. Dorian is forced to come
along, there are some objects that require a Warrior to bash and a Rogue to
lockpick so bring at least one of each class. Starting the mission triggers a
long cutscene at the Redcliffe Castle.
Redcliffe Castle
����������������
You are warped after the cutscene and two Venatori Zealots will attack. Loot
the [PRISON KEY] and head up the left stairs to find a [POT] and on the other
side is a [SNAKE BOX]. Go up the other set of stairs and loot the objects in the
cell before advancing to the door. There are more objects to loot along the way,
but in the end you need to climb the staircase.
Here you'll find more Venatori Zealots. Defeat them and descend the left path,
taking the left door to a chest. The central door leads to Fiona, she's in a
bit of a rutt. After listening to what happened go back up the central room
then down to the right side. Here you'll find your two companions that were
with you, you'll need to convince them you aren't dead.
Return to upper cells and your met by four Venatori Zealots and a Venatori
Spellbinder, be sure he goes down first. Up the steps to the Guard Barracks,
there's plenty to loot. Be sure to grab the note on the table, [A PRAYER TO THE
NEW GOD] and the [REINFORCED DEFENDER ARMOR] and [MINDLEECH STAFF] from the pot
in the corner. Open the locked door with a Rogue and the one opposite it to find
[A GUARD'S JOURNAL].
Find a Way Back to Alexius's Throne Room
����������������������������������������
Continue up to the torture area, the side room has some loot. Up the stairs you
can open the door to find Hanley and two Venatori Zealots. Loot the bodies for
the [BLEEDER OF SOULS] and [BIANCA ARMS II]. Continue up to the next room, door
on the left, to find Leliana. Pay attention to the dialogue, it's rather unique
and interesting. Proceed down the hall and across the bridge into the Torture
Chambers. Time to seal a Fade Rift, be sure to deal with the Wraiths first.
Use the wheel to raise the portcullis and enter the docks. Clear out the two
Lesser Shades then loot the area, the [SUPPLIES CACHE] included to refill your
Potions. Climb up to the Courtyard, another Fade Rift with plenty of Lesser
Shades to deal with. Shortly ahead is another, so deal with the demons and get
to closing it. Head to the Upper Royal Wing, searching the left room for
[ALEXIUS'S JOURNAL] and right for the [SPELLBINDER'S JOURNAL].
Ahead you'll find some loot, a [CIRCLE OF MAGI BANNER], and another [SUPPLIES
CACHE]. In the open room you'll need to fight off Spellbinders and Shades while
you close the Fade Rift, stick to cover if you need it. Loot the corpses for a
[RED LYRIUM SHARD], you'll need 5 of these. Go through the southeast door and
up the steps. In the room here you'll find another Spellbinder and Venatori
Zealots. Kill the Spellbinder and drop some heavy area of effect near the steps
for a quick win. Loot the 2nd [RED LYRIUM SHARD] and the [PUNISHER] from the
chest in the back.
Loop around the hallway to a large room, another Spellbinder and cronies. Grab
the third [RED LYRIUM SHARD] from their bodies then head into the next room.
Check the [SUPPLY CACHE] and [LOCKBOX] while you're in here for loot. Have a
Rogue open the door here then open the door across to find a Spellbinder, the
fourth [RED LYRIUM SHARD] on him. Read up on the [STUDIES ON THE BLIGHT] then
bash the northern wall down with a Warrior. Loot the pot for the [APOSTATE
STAFF] schematic. Break the other wall down to surprise two Zealots, kill them
and head out.
Check both doors on the way out, at the bottom of the staircase is another
[SUPPLY CACHE], use it then go across from here through the door. Defeat the
Spellbinder and the Gladiators to obtain the last [RED LYRIUM SHARD]. Take them
back to the main hall and place them in the door to trigger a cutscene and boss
fight.

Defense: 13

Immunity: All Disabling Effects
Ability: Perceptive
Strategy
��������
The first thing you should notice is that Alexius has no resistances or
vulnerabilities. This means all your physical and magical attacks will do full
damage but you lack the ability to combo since you cannot incapacitate him. He
has the ability to teleport far away so you'll want to focus on ranged attacks.
His arsenal of spells is fairly limited, the battle gets rough when you drop
Alexius's health below 50%. He summons a Fade Rift and you'll need to contend
with demons during this phase. Alexius isn't targetable here so Disrupt the
Rift and take out the small fry, closing the Fade Rift afterward.
Focus on building Guard and placing Barrier on your Warrior, you'll be able to
mitigate nearly all of the damage this way. At 25% health Alexius will summon
a second Fade Rift with even more demons. Like last time, focus on the demons.
You can cast Dispel on the location they are going to spawn to stop them from
spawning completely and placing runes or traps on the spawn location is fairly
useful for a lot of quick damage. At this point Alexius can be targeted down
and defeated.
Loot: Staff of Stasis, Cooldown Amulet
________________________________________________________________________________
The scene that takes place afterward is pretty amazing. With everything restored
head back to the Chantry in Haven. Here you'll be given an opportunity to
recruit Dorian into the Inquisition.

Head to the Inquisition's War Room
����������������������������������
Taking the path of reaching out to the Templars will bar you from working
with the mages. But who better to fight against this magic than those trained
to do so? To start down this path, you must visit the Inquisition's War Room
and send an agent out, which will cost 15 Power total. A small price if you
have been exploring additional areas. Doing so will take you to a meeting with
the Lord Seeker immediately with a host of Orlesian Nobles at your back.
Meet with the Templar Contact
�����������������������������
After speaking to the Nobles you will be free to move. You can find some minor
loot down the road you came from (minor money), but we must press on to our
contact. In the stable area search both stables for loot and be sure to read the
[FOLDED LETTER], then talk to Knight-Templar Barris.
Raise the flags in order of importance
��������������������������������������
Next, you will be asked to undergo a ritual: raise the flags shown to you in
the order you value them. A very... personal objective. You can also side with
the noble and demand to see the Lord Seeker if you wish.
The choice is of course yours, but we may as well accommodate our guests. You
can find some loot around the courtyard before raising the flags. Raise the
flags in the order you wish. You will have a chance to explain your actions
afterwards. Be sure to read the [CREASED NOTE].
Andraste Highest - Cassandra +1, Solas -1

Talk to Knight-Templar Barris
- I let faith guide me. (Solas -1, Sera -1)
- I decided based on politics (Blackwall -1, Sera -1, Vivienne +2, Iron Bull +1)
- My reasons are my own. (Solas +2, Blackwall +1)
- I picked at random. (Solas -1, Blackwall +1, Sera +1)
Meet the Lord Seeker
��������������������
Head into the next door/objective to start a meeting. Your replies don't matter
here, as the knights have a sinister purpose. Once the fighting breaks out,
have your tank taunt the front knights while you take out the archers, then
clean up. Barris will help out here. Loot and go through the next door.
Kill the soldiers in the hall and nab the nearby loot, then head right. There
is an open room here with a [CHEST] and some loot, amongst them the [SEALED
ORDERS], but there is also a door nearby that a Rogue can unlock with two
[CHESTS]. Once you have them, head to the other end of the hall and up the
stairs. There is another door someone can pick with more loot. Head outside when
you are done.
A fight is waiting for you. There are three templars facing you from the front
while some archers are on a roof to your upper right. A ladder behind you offers
a tactical view for ranged characters. After you deal with these first enemies,
a door to the dining hall opens to the left with more enemies. Use the doorway
as a chokepoint to lay down area of effect abilities and let the enemies roast
in it.
Head inside and search the tables to the far left for the [TO BE CORRUPTED]
codex, then head upstairs for a [CHEST]. You can jump the barricade here for
some loot, another [CHEST], and up on the third floor a note that explains
what is happening if you didn't already guess. Red for a reason, right? Head
back and go through the second floor door. This leads to more fighting, only
this time you'll have more normal allies. Numbers rule here, so help them
overwhelm the red templars.
Once they are dead, head to the top of the stairs you came from and open the
door against the left wall. This uncovers the Knight-Vigilant's body. Yikes!
Read the letter here for some context, then open the [CHEST]. This chest in
particular has a [AMULET OF POWER; CASSANDRA], so be sure to get it.
Continue ascending onward, looking for loot as you go. You will soon meet
with the Lord Seeker, which turns into something... odd.
Escape the Prison
�����������������
Well then...
Head forward and enjoy the scenes. Answer as you will. Soon you will have
free reign again. Run to the marker to be in a room with pillars pouring out
spirit magic. Here head to the left and right lower rooms for dialog and a
way to get further. Time the pillars and run to the left and right rooms for
more dialog. Getting hit DOES hurt here, for the record. At the end, go through
the unmoving pillars to continue (take the hit).
You'll be in a room with an object your class can counter (a wall that can be
bashed, a door that can be lockpicked) to the left. Inside you can find an
object to examine for the [ENVY'S DOGMA] codex, as well as a boost of
[CUNNING +1]. This is part of a side-quest for this area called "Demonic Dogma".
We'll cover it in here though. Head to the right and meet up with Cole. Ask for
his help to get an idea of what to do. He will then go open the way forward for
you.
Continue on and watch the scenes. Once you are near "Cassandra", go search the
open right cell for a [PRISON KEY]. Now, head forward and examine what is going
on in the rooms to the left and right. Bad, innit? (Sera is rubbing off...).
Head forward and take a right, then talk to Cole
He'll gift you with another task and some Veilfire. We will have to light four
Braziers. Head back to the rooms with the prisoners for Brazier #1 and Brazier
#2. Half-way done already! This causes the demon to be quite angry...
Head to the end of the hallway and left. Cullen is locked up here, but Brazier
#3 is here as well. Light it and then out in the hallway Brazier #4 will appear.
Lighting this pushes the hallway down. Follow it and head into the right room.
Light the brazier (which no longer needs numbered, apparently) and then go
back to the hallway and light the next one you find. This opens the door and
lets you into a secret room.
Read the inscription here for an updated [ENVY'S DOGMA] codex and a sweet boost
of [CONSTITUTION +2]. We'll take it! Continue on to the last door and you will
be swept to a forest next...
Escape the Forest
�����������������
Head through the forest, noting that staying still is dangerous: a spirit
geyser will erupt at your feet and explode. Continue onward and upward when
you can, ignoring the wraiths. Pull a lever near Cole when you can and then
you'll be in the main courtyard.
From here, find your way to the dining hall area and head up the stairs.
Head back to the second level (vice leaving) to find the third and final
"Demonic Dogma" inscription. Read it for an updated [ENVY'S DOGMA] codex and
a sweet [STRENGTH +3] boost. Very nice.
Continue on to where the Lord Seeker was for a scene. Answer how you wish
after that to move onto the next part of this section.
The next section consists of us finding Templar Veterans and lyrium. While
we are out searching though, the Great Hall will be held by the Templars,
which means its strength is on a limited timer...
Maintain a Hold on the Great Hall
- The Templars will hold the Great Hall, but their strength will wane over
time!
- Returning to help the Templars re-secure the Great Hall will restore their
strength.
- If the Templars are overwhelmed, the battle will be lost.
We must be quick in our upcoming exploration. First, go outside where the
Lord Seeker cut-scene took place for a [CHEST]. Up at the front of the hall
you can also read an inscription to update the [THERINFAL REDOUBT] codex.
After that, take note of the two doors in the Great Hall we can use. Let's
start with the door on the left to head to the Upper Barracks.
Upper Barracks
��������������
Gather the loot in the hallway and go out to the courtyard. There are new
enemies here called Templar Horrors. There are two of them with two archers.
Really nothing harder than you've fought before. They are found of shooting
spikes out of their back at you, which will home in. Take them out and then be
sure to search the shack they came out of for the [MAJESTIC BASTARDS] codex.
From there head to the archway and have a warrior bust open the wall at the
end for a room with [CHEST x3] in it, then go through the nearby door. Head
to the left first and assist the Templar. He will go to the hall (1/3). Head
back and up the steps and assist the Templar up here. She too will go to the
hall (2/3). Now, there is a rogue-locked door here that leads down to the
prison. You can find [THE PRISONERS OF THERINFAL] here.
Head across the narrow walkway to a room leading back to the Great Hall. Drop
the ladder to the left and then pick up the [A NUTTY AFFAIR] codex from a bench
to the right. There are three other ladders to drop up here as well as
[CHEST x2] in the back and another mysterious note. Go help the Templars kill
off the threat and get ready for the second door.
Officer's Quarters
������������������
Head out to the courtyard and kill the horrors and archers that await you.
After that, head to the door across from where you came from to find the
Lord Seeker's office. A scene with Cole occurs here. Afterward, loot the [CHEST]
(which likely has a rare item) and read the notes. Pick up the [LORD SEEKER'S
KEY]. Head outside and hang a right, opening the door to the lyrium cache room.
You can get some commentary on the red lyrium here. Loot the [CHEST x3] in the
room and pick up the [LYRIUM CACHE] from up above.
At this point, go help out the Great Hall, just to be safe.
Next, from the Lord Seeker's office head right (facing his office, head right)
to find a door in the corner. Head up the stairs in here and assist the Templar
you find fighting on the roof. He'll head off to assist Barris. Nab all the loot
up here and in the room beyond. Head back to where the Templar was. See the
rampart near the entrance to the stairwell? Head over there and have one of
your warriors bust down the far wall. This leads to a drop and a sealed room
with a [CHEST]. Unbar the door and make your way back to the Great Hall.
Great Hall
����������
Talk to Barris to perform the ritual. Well... to have him do it. You will
fend off Red Templars and Horrors as the Templars bring down the barrier.
They will come from the sides, so use the chokepoints on either side to hold
them off and watch your back. Have your teammates strangle-hold one side while
you watch their back for them.
Once the barrier has fallen, head up the steps. You can refill potions up
here with the cache near the railing (heal first!) and nab a [CHEST] off to
the left. There is also the [HER PERFUMED SANCTUARY] codex on a bench to the
right.
Continue on to face the demon.

BOSS: Envy Demon Level 8

Strategy
��������
If you have been exploring side areas and buffing up, this will be a pretty
easy fight. The Envy Demon has a TON of hit-points, but very little defense and
poor evasion.
When it comes to attack, the Envy Demon can dive into the fade and appear
underneath you, much like the Lesser Terror enemies. It can also let out a
scream in an area around itself that causes anyone caught up in the screech
to have FEAR, which stuns you in-place. This gives ranged attackers the biggest
advantage, as they'll never have to worry about getting stunned. Beware of
standing too still during this fight as spirit geysers will erupt underneath
you, much like the memories you had earlier in this chapter.
Once you take off about a third of its health, it will go into "hiding", as
Cole points out. Several Red Templars and Archers will appear during this phase
and need to be put down. Cole has had enough watching though, and will join in
the battle.
After clearing the riff-raff out, the Demon will appear to mimic you. In
Bkstunt's game, the demon came out as a human warrior, using two-handed skills
and a weapon. It is also 10 times the size of your characters. Keep laying into
him and watch out for his attacks. For the last third of the fight, the demon
will revert back to its normal self. Keep killing reinforcements as they show
up and slay the demon for good.
Loot: Audacity, Essences
________________________________________________________________________________
Head back towards the Great Hall to meet up with what is left of the Templar
Order.
You will have a dialog choice here. Do we want the Templars to concede and
join the Inquisition as they are, or rebuild and become allies? This choice
will affect what your companions think of you:
DISBAND: Blackwall Disapproves
Cassandra Disapproves
The Iron Bull Disapproves
Sera Greatly Approves
Solas Greatly Approves
Vivienne Disapproves
Dorian Disapproves
Cole Greatly Approves
ALLIANCE: Solas Greatly Disapproves
Cassandra Greatly Approves
Blackwall Approves
Sera Greatly Disapproves
Vivienne Approves
The Iron Bull Greatly Approves
Dorian Disapproves
Cole Greatly Disapproves
Varric Slightly Approves
Enjoy the dialog afterward. In the War Room, you will have the chance to
recruit Cole, although Cassandra slightly disapproves doing so. Heh. He can
permanently join the party though, so we suggest you take him.
And with that, this quest is complete.

Sealing the Breach
������������������
At the War Table choose this mission, it costs 1 Power. Set up your party and
you'll trigger a cutscene. The Breach has been closed and Haven is celebrating,
but that comes all too soon. Head for the gates where you'll meet either Dorian
or Cole, whichever you haven't met yet. Cole warns of the Templars coming,
Dorian warns of the Mages coming, they both warn of The Elder One.
Defending the North Trebuchet - Templars
����������������������������������������
Waves of Red Templars attack from both sides of the trebuchet. Focus down the
Templar Horrors and then the foot soldiers. The second wave comes from the
right and has Marksman and Guards, you'll want to defeat the ranged enemies
first but if you can get them grouped up then some area of effects attacks can
be devastating. From these first two waves you should find a [RARE WEAPON] and
[RARE RING] from the dead. The final wave is small and comes from the left,
just defeat the horrors.
Defending the North Trebuchet - Mages
�������������������������������������
You'll have to contend with Spellbinders, Marksman, and Zealots. Focus on the
Spellbinders, they will cast Barrier on the Zealots and that creates problems
for quickly defeating them. Take out the Marksman last, it's not a common
strategy but the Zealots can overwhelm. Reinforces will bring a Gladiator, in
this wave focus the Marksman first then the Zealots, the Gladiator is a hassle
and it's shield requires the entire party to focus on his weak spot. Next, from
the left are more Spellbinders and Zealots -- defeat them.
Retake the South Trebuchet - Templars
�������������������������������������
There are several Red Templar, two Marksman, and a Guard defending this
trebuchet. Focus on the Marksman to quickly take them out and move the Guard
away. Move enemies come from behind trying to retake the weapon, you'll need
to fend them off like the first go around. There are two Horrors, two Red
Templar, and one Marksman in this wave. Defeat them and crank the trebuchet
to fire, causing an avalanche to wipe out most of the forces. It's all too
soon to celebrate again, a dragon emerges to destroy the trebuchet. Use the
[SUPPLY CACHE] then head back to Haven.
Retake the South Trebuchet - Mages
����������������������������������
Head up to the southern trebuchet to find two Marksman, several Zealots, and
a Gladiator. Like usual, focus on the ranged attackers to quickly take them out
then begin to whittle down the Zealots. Reinforcements include two Spellbinders
for you to deal with, they come from the hill behind the trebuchet like an
ambush. Once you take them out crank the trebuchet to trigger an avalanche.
Evacuate Haven
��������������
Note - For each person you save you'll receive 128 Experience and 80 Influence
On your way back you'll find Harritt, help him out with a Warrior then loot
the blacksmith area before going inside the gates. Turn right as you enter to
find Lysette being attacked, defeat the Foot Soldiers here to save her. Go up
the staircase now to find more Foot Soldiers accompanied by Marksmen. Break the
door to your left to save Seggrit then loot the chest for a [RARE ITEM]. Head to
the tavern where you'll find three Red Templars and a Horror, defeat them then
enter and rescue Flissa.
Quickly run up the apothecary area to save Adan and Minaeve, you really need to
be quick because the nearby flames will trigger an explosion shortly. Approach
the Chantry entrance to find Threnn battling more enemies -- four Foot Soldiers.
Enter the Chantry now to trigger a scene.

Retake the Trebuchet
��������������������
There is a certain sense of urgency at this point but you can slowly progress
down the path to the final trebuchet. The packs of enemies are small until the
final one at the trebuchet. Aim it little by little until it reaches about 50%
where you'll be forced to battle a boss depending on who you sided with. If you
sided with the Mages you'll fight Knight-Templar Denam, if you sided with the
Templars you'll fight Grand Enchanter Fiona.
��������������������������������������������������������������������������������
BOSS: Knight-Templar Denam Level 8
________________________________________________________________________________
Health: 11840
Defense: 46
Resistance: Fire
Vulnerable: Cold
Immunity: All Physical Effects, Fear, Asleep, Paralyzed
Strategy
��������
The Knight-Templar is weak to Cold so a Mage with an Ice staff is useful,
especially with Energy Barrage. Move this monster away from your ranged
companions and take down the weaker Templars first. Watch out for the walls of
red lyrium that Denam can create, it could separate the group too much. The wall
can be destroyed, but it's likely simpler to just defeat Denam. Defeating the
Behemoth will destroy the rest of the attacking Templars. You can also win this
fight by cranking the trebuchet fully.
Loot: Rare Accessory

BOSS: Fiona Level 11
________________________________________________________________________________
Health: 13406
Defense: 18
Resistance: Electricity
Vulnerable: None
Immunity: Asleep, Paralyzed
Strategy
��������
Fiona has been completely brainwashed and leads the Venatori against the
Inquisition. She can take dish out some heavy damage but she takes a lot in the
form of physical attacks. Stay away from Electric attacks and instead use Fire
and Ice to freeze her (Winter's Grasp works very well). Freezing her then combo
with Shatter to deal massive damage and take her out. You can always just turn
the trebuchet completely but that's probably more difficult.
Loot: Rare Accessory
________________________________________________________________________________
The Dawn Will Come
������������������
You are alone, but not dead. Move forward to obtain "Mark of the Rift" then
use it to defeat the Wraiths. Head outside and continue the trek through the
blizzard until you are found by Cullen and Cassandra. The story opens up at
this point, you understand much more after a few scenes. The Inquisition marches
to Skyhold and you are no longer the Herald of Andraste, but the Inquisitor.

The Champion of Kirkwall
������������������������
You'll have a conversation with the group and Varric mentions a friend. This
friend is Hawke, the Champion of Kirkwall, and he would like you to meet Hawke
on the battlements. In short, Hawke has a Warden friend (Stroud, Loghain, or
Alistair) in Crestwood and that's good because you can find out if the Grey
Wardens have truly gone missing and where. If you speak with Cassandra she'll
blow up on Varric, you can try to work it out later.
Recruit Dorian/Cole
�������������������
You had the chance to recruit one of them earlier based on your choices, but
the other should be hanging around Skyhold. Be sure to talk to him and recruit
him if you want.
Specializations for the Inquisitor
����������������������������������
Be sure to visit the War Table and start this mission. You'll have three
advisers come to Skyhold allowing you to pick one Specialization. All of your
companions have taken on their Specialization at this point. Also, pick up the
Arcanist so you can craft runes.

[ ] Regarding the Calling
The Warden Contact
������������������
You need to spend 8 Power to unlock Crestwood. It's pretty bleak right now, but
it has to be looked into. Make your way east, fighting off some Corpse Archers.
As you near Crestwood you'll have to fight through some more undead. You can
stop here if you want, there's plenty to do in Crestwood. To continue, press
forward due east sticking to the road. You'll pass a lot of Red Lyrium Veins,
just follow the road going south of them.
Meet up with Hawke and press on through the cave. Here you'll meet the Warden
and a scene takes place to shed some light on the situation. Grab the codex
for [REGARDING THE CALLING] before heading out then go to the Western Approach.
It's a nice little trek out to where Hawke and the Warden are located, once you
get there a scene takes over. You can question Erimond all you want, in the
end you'll have to fight. Use the Mark of the Rift to end the battle instantly
then another scene takes over.
Assault on Adamant
������������������
Before you head back, seek out the [BOTTLE OF THEDAS] in the corner and you may
as well head down the steps to claim the Landmark. Head back to the War Table
and choose "Here Lies the Abyss" to spend 20 Power and begin the assault. You'll
want to bring Blackwall if you normally don't, he has some unique speech for
this mission in particular. After the scene you'll gain control at the Lower
Bailey.
The first wave of enemies is Shades and Warden Spellbinder. They group up so
hit them with area attacks. Head up the steps to find a group of Wardens, the
Senior should be your initial focus, he should drop a [RARE ACCESSORY]. Check
the northeast corner for a [CHEST] then cross the bridge. Two Shades try to
stop you but that's not nearly enough. Quickly head down the steps to help the
Wardens fight the Spellbinder and Shades. You can ask them to "Surrender" or
"Fall Back", the former initiates a fight while the latter sends them away.
Battlements
�����������
Loot the [CHEST] here and continue onward to another one. Open the door and
climb the staircase to find a [CHEST] in the corner. Turn around from here to
see the right way to go. Clear out the Warden Archer and two Shades then step
outside the wall to spot a [CHEST]. Climb up to the Battlements now and defeat
the Wardens preventing the Inquisition soldiers from climbing up. More Wardens
come from down the way, one can drop a [RARE ARMOR]. Inside you'll find another
[SUPPLY CACHE], be sure to use it after you've healed yourself.
Open the [CHEST] in this room then head back out to the battlefield. There are
two Despair Demons, a Pride Demon, and some Warden Spellbinders. Try to hit
the demons with an incapacitating attack then defeat the Spellbinders. Loot the
[CHEST] for the [GREY WARDEN BANNER] and grab the codex for [AN UNSIGNED LETTER]
before pressing on. A [CHEST] on the north side can hold a [RARE ACCESSORY].
Cross over the bridge to have a similar fight as the previous one.
Finding the Warden-Commander
����������������������������
Loot the Pride Demon for a [RARE RUNE] then the nearby chest for a [RARE HELM].
Restock at the [SUPPLY CACHE] and grab the codex [A LETTER FROM WARDEN-COMMANDER
CLAREL] as you return to center. Some Shades try to ambush you, defeat them and
go down the steps to find some [LOOT] with [SHIELD OF THE ANOINTED] inside. Go
through the doors until you reach the far side of the walls where a Shade and
Rage Demon are attacking. There is another [SUPPLY CACHE] at this point, use it
then head through the doorway.
Loot the [CHEST] here for a [RARE ARMOR] then press on to trigger a scene. If
you have Blackwall you get a special dialogue to win over the remaining Wardens
and bring back the ones you may have let live when the battle started. Another
scene takes place and if you turned the Wardens you'll only have a few demons
and the Spellbinders to fight. Clear them out and head up the stairs to find
a bunch of Shades. Continue to follow Clarel past the Greater Shade and up
more stairs. An interesting scene takes place and the Inquisitor winds up in
the Fade.
The Fade
��������
Use the [SUPPLY CACHE] then head to the right to find [FEARS OF THE DREAMERS]
on the table. Search to find a [CANDLE] through the water, loot the crystal on
the way for a [RARE ACCESSORY]. Place the candle on the table then collect the
[MAGIC +1]. Examine the statue for [A PLEA FROM THE WARRIOR TO THE SPIRITS] then
check another crystal for a [RARE ACCESSORY]. Back to your left is [A LETTER BY
A BURNING CANDLE]. Go up the central stairs now to find Divine Justinia... This
creature is here to help and wants to show you your memories. Defeat the Wraiths
then collect your memories to trigger a scene.
Go back down the steps and turn right. Loot the crystal for a [RARE ACCESSORY]
then defeat three Wraiths down the way. Turn left to find a book, [WALKING THE
FADE: FROZEN MOMENTS], then loot a crystal on your way to an Eluvian that grants
[MAGIC +1]. Go back up the stairs where you met the creature acting as Justinia.
Loot the crystal ahead for a [RARE ACCESSORY], turn right to find a Greater
Shade. Examine the structure for [A LETTER WRITTEN IN A SHAKING HAND] and loot
the crystal here. Ahead is another crystal, loot it and descend the stairs.
Deal with the Shades and start searching to find some [FLOWERS].
Overcoming Fears
����������������
The south end has a crystal, the middle can be inspected for [THE CLAWS OF
DUMAT] codex. Examine the pots on the east side, place the flowers, then claim
the [CONSTITUTION +1]. Loot another crystal for a [RARE ACCESSORY] then climb
the steps to another with a [RARE ACCESSORY]. Down the steps is another Eluvian,
this one grants [DEXTERITY +1]. The path splits ahead, stay left to find a
crystal and an [EXCERPT FROM A JOURNAL] that spawns a Rage Demon. Head up the
steps to find a crystal with a [RARE ACCESSORY], if you inspect the corpse you
will spawn two Rage Demons and three Wraiths but you can check the Eluvian
after you kill them for [CUNNING +1].
Head back to the split and go down the steps now. Read the [EXCERPT FROM A
JOURNAL] then continue facing off against Spiders that are aptly named fears.
March on to find "Justinia" and more Wraiths, defeat them to gain some more
memories. Pick up the [LETTER IN A CHILD'S SIMPLE WRITING], [A NOTE LEFT BY A
BURNING CANDLE], and the crystal here. Turn the corner and search the skeleton
for the [TAROT CARD], put it in the pot to get [STRENGTH +1]. The Eluvian ahead
gives [WILLPOWER +1], grab it then continue towards the "Divine" ahead.
Escape the Fade
���������������
At this split go left up the stairs. You'll encounter two Pride Demons as you
reach the top. Begin searching up here to find a [STUFFED ANIMAL], place it on
the nearby bed and grab the [WILLPOWER +1]. You will come back to where the fork
reconnects, so button hook back around at the bottom of the steps. Use the
Eluvian for {STRENGTH +1] and go back to the original split point to find [THE
LAWS OF NATURE IN THE FADE]. Go back and towards the right to a graveyard,
search for the [VIAL OF DARKSPAWN BLOOD] then take it to the vial where you can
claim [CUNNING +1].
Continue to the Divine to be faced with "The Maker" and a slew of demons. Fight
them until the barrier goes down then march on, completing the quest by looting
the pile on the left. Use the [SUPPLY CACHE] then head forward for a cool scene
that results in a boss battle.

________________________________________________________________________________
Health: 70267
Defense: 46
Resistance: Spirit
Vulnerable: Electricity
Immunity: All Physical Effects, Fear, Asleep, Frozen
Ability: Perceptive
Strategy
��������
This Aspect isn't as difficult as it may seem. The thing you need to focus on
the most is positioning because you'll have to face Fearlings and Wraiths from
time to time and being able to quickly kill them without taking damage is the
biggest trick. It functions like a Terror, able to warp around the battlefield
and spring up on your ranged characters, be sure to keep them spread out! Start
the battle with Mark of the Rift to quickly get in a large amount of damage and
remove the additional demons then focus on high damage single attacks like Full
Draw.
The Barrier can be removed with Dispel and the Aspect will replenish it often
so take it down before wasting attacks into the Barrier. It's a hard boss to
effectively control but the attacks it deals won't do too much damage, just keep
pummeling it.

����������������
After the scene you'll notice that you have 50 Court Approval, at least you
could have that much. You lose 10 for being an Elf or a Mage, 20 if both. Search
the southwest corner for [MONTBELLIARD'S RING], return it the Noblewoman nearby
for 5 Court Approval. Read the plaque at the fountain for [WINTER PALACE] codex
then climb the steps to the mid tier and again up the right set to the Upper
Level. Search here for a [HALLA STATUETTE], head along the back wall to the
left for a [CHEST].
NOTE - Do not use any Halla Statuettes until the Royal Wing is accessed. This
lets you get the most out of the story options and the best loot.
Cross over to the left Upper Level, here you can eavesdrop on some nobles but
you want to go down the back wall to find a [STORAGE KEY]. Drop down one level
and unlock the Storage Room. Inside you'll find a [SCANADOLOUS SECRET], a
hidden [CAPRICE] coin, and a [CHEST]. Go to the other side and use your Halla
Statuette to open the door here. Inside you'll find two loot stashes with
[RARE WEAPONS]. You can now open the gate and head inside.
Finding Secrets and Statuettes
������������������������������
Up the stairs you can turn right and listen to nobles for a [SCANDALOUS SECRET].
There isn't much else to do so enter the Ballroom. Proceed to Celene, be polite
to gain 10 Court Approval. Head down the right side to find Josephine, further
down is [A COMPENDIUM OF ORLESIAN THEATER] on the couch. Vivienne is on the
other side of the room if you brought her. Head back to the Vestibule when
you're done talking, the eavesdrop spot towards the back that failed should
work this time. You can also find Cassandra here if she was brought along. Head
through the door to the west, you'll be able eavesdrop on some elves in the
back. Down the steps you'll find Blackwall if you brought him, you can also
search for a [CAPRICE]. Head down the hall and speak with Duke Germann, tell
him "Phillipe is a jerk!" to gain 10 Court Approval.
You can find [A COMPENDIUM OF ORLESIAN THEATER] in a side room, a [CAPRICE COIN]
right next to it, as well as an eavesdrop location to obtain another [SCANDALOUS
SECRET] for Leliana. Speak to the Duke again here and ask about Gaspard to gain
5 Court Approval. In the next room down you can go to the balcony, search here
for a [CYLINDER SEAL] then go right through the hall and out into the Guest
Garden. Dorian will be standing here if you bring him. You can gain two
[SCANDALOUS SECRETS] by eavesdropping at the left and another one on the right
locations. Loot the two [SACKS] on the left end then climb up to the balcony.
Here you'll lose approval so move fast. Grab the [HALLA STATUETTE] on the right
end and the [SCANDALOUS SECRET] then open the door at the left end using it.
Loot the [CHEST] in here and pick up [HALAMSHIRAL INVESTIGATION: CLUES]. Enter
the Grand Library and search the back left for a secret, pulling the book
reveals a hidden room. Inside loot the [CHEST] and read the letter. Light the
veilfire then the urns outside in the following order: Etienne I, Reville,
Etienne II, Judicael I, Judicael II, Florian. This will remove the floor and
lead to a secret area. Loot the room for [CONFUSION GRENADE RECIPE], a [RARE
BELT], [MASTERWORK MAGISTER STAFF BLADE] schematic, and more various items.
Exit through the side doors then go down the steps. Search the bookshelf for
an update in the Halamshirl Investigation: Clues. In the left room is a
[SCANDALOUS SECRET] and a [SAFE], you'll find the same as you go down the hall.
Cole will be here if you brought him along. Exit back to the Vestibule at this
point and into the Ballroom, the bells will ring so don't be slow or you'll lose
10 Court Approval. Here you bump into Morrigan and she wants your help.
The Servants' Quarters
����������������������
After talking to Morrigan head back towards the Court Garden, the two eavesdrop
locations should provide a [SCANDALOUS SECRET] now. Head down to the Servants'
Quarters now. First things first, re-equip your gear because you're bound to
fight in this area. Head into the bedroom to find a [DIARY OF A NOSY SERVANT]
then into the kitchen after looting the [CHEST]. You can grab the [WINTER
PALACE] codex and the [HALLA STATUETTE] above by jumping. Now move to the
courtyard and make a hard left to the corner, search to find a [HALLA STATUETTE]
here.
Leap down and you'll have to fight some Venatori Zealots after a scene. Go
north to find more Venatori, this time including a Mage. Climb the steps and
search the corner of the balcony for a [CAPRICE]. On the other side of the wall
is another [HALLA STATUETTE] and [SAFE]. Go to the south side and defeat the

EMPEROR REVILLE] codex. Turn the corner and defeat the Venatori here to trigger
a scene with Briala.
Note - You do not need to open the locked room here, in fact it's best to leave
it alone unless you want to put Briala in charge.
Pick up the [HALLA STATUETTE] now and head to the bedroom to find an update to
[WINTER PALACE]. Open the door here and loot the room, you'll find a [RARE
WEAPON], [RARE SCHEMATIC], an [AMULET OF POWER] for Vivienne, and an [ELVEN
LOCKET]. You can head out now, hopefully you didn't lose too much Court Approval
in the process.
Continuing the Dance
��������������������
As you return to the main level look right and search the bench to find a
[SCANDALOUS SECRET]. Talk to the men guarding the Trophy Room, if you have the
perk you can tell them to talk with Commander Cullen and they'll leave. This
earns 10 Court Approval and grants access to the Trophy Room. Search the corner
for a [SCANDALOUS SECRET] and the left side for a [CAPRICE]. Enter the next
room to find a [HALLA STATUETTE]. Now head to the Ballroom to meet Grand

the Vestibule) and search the long hallway for a [SCANDALOUS SECRET]. Go into
the side room where the Duke is to find another [SCANDALOUS SECRET] in the
corner. Back in the hall is a [SCANDALOUS SECRET] on the table and another one
is next to the couch.
Enter the room at the end to find a [CAPRICE] and [SCANDALOUS SECRET] on and
near the couch. Leap out the window here to find another [SCANDALOUS SECRET]
and then onto the balcony to eavesdrop for a point. Pick up the [SCANDALOUS
SECRET] on the nearby chair then head into the Garden. Check the northwest
corner for a [SCANDALOUS SECRET]. Toss some of your Caprice Coins into the
fountain if you need some approval, if you are at 100 then hold off until a
little later.
Note - If you have been saving some Halla Statuettes then use 3 to enter the
Lower Level. Varric is down here but you can also snag the [ORLESIAN
BANNER] from a chest. There is also a [CAPRICE] on the bench at the
bottom. In addition, talk to the man you were eavesdropping on in the
Garden. Pick a side and you can recruit him.
Climb up the wall and turn left to find a [CAPRICE]. Head through the doors
here and down the hallway. Search as you go to find a [SCANDALOUS SECRET] on
the table. Approach the Royal Wing and eavesdrop to gain another [SCANDALOUS
SECRET]. Time to go to the Royal Wing.
The Royal Wing
��������������
Change your equipment after entering and search the table for a [SCANDALOUS
SECRET]. Move across the middle area to the east where you'll be able to stop
an Elven servant from meeting her end. Pick up the [HALLA STATUETTE] and loot
the two [CHESTS] before going back west across the middle area, entering the
south western door. Grab the [HALLA STATUETTE] in plain site, then the [CHEST],
and finally search the corner for a [SCANDALOUS SECRET]. Head south and go
past the room with the quest marker for now. Down the steps you'll find another
[HALLA STATUETTE].
Open the western area via the door and into the northern room. Search the left
side for a [HALLA STATUETTE] and a [CAPRICE]. You have at least 5 Halla Statues
now so go all the way north and open the door here. Search the left table for
a [SCANDALOUS SECRET]. Loot the right [CHEST] and go up the steps, here you'll
find an awkward situation. Let the man go and tell him to hush up or get him
information to blackmail Celene, either way you gain 10 Court Approval. Check
the table on the right of the bed for a [CAPRICE] and loot the [FOOTLOCKER].
Note - This is the last chance you have to finish the two quests. With the
Secret and Caprice you pick up in here you'll have them all. This is
only possible if you opened the Lower Level and this room.
Jardin de Reverie
�����������������
Head back south to the room on the eastern end, the Jardin de Reverie. It turns
out to be an ambush set up by the Duchess. Kill the Venatori then focus on the
Despair Demons. Disrupt the Rift to stun the demons and take them out, the
Greater Terrors should be frozen to buy you some time. Afterwards, speak with
Mercenary Captin. You can do what you will with him, but if you have the right
perk you can recruit him into the Inquisition. The eastern balcony has some
loot, but you need to go south and slay more Venatori.
Go downstairs to find a Harlequinn, defeat her and go north to a side room with
a [CHEST]. Read [A COMPENDIUM OF ORLESIAN THEATER] at the north bookshelf then
into La Serrure. You can only pick one door because they cost 5 Halla Statues
each, you may have spent the ones you had already. They each just have a single
[CHEST] behind with random loot so don't fret over it too much. Head west to
the Kitchens for a [SUPPLY CACHE] then into the Dining Room for two [CHESTS].
Exit south then check up the stairs for a [CHEST]. Return to the Ballroom and
make your decision.
Talk to Florianne
- With at least 85 Court Approval you can have Florianne arrested.
Wait for Florianne to attack
- Celene will die and you must fight Florianne.
Detain the duchess
- Celene will be saved and you must fight Florianne.

BOSS: Grand Duchess Level 16

Health: 40570
Defense: 24
Immunity: All Disabling Effects, Poisoned, Slowed, Knocked Down
Strategy
��������
Ranged fighters will have an advantage in this battle because the Grand Duchess
fights from above around the Courtyard and moves quickly. You have to contend
with Venatori Zealots throughout the battle, try to use a Focus ability to take
them out when they are near Florianne so everyone takes damage. Using Grappling
Chain for this battle is definitely one of the best things you can do since you
can pull Florianne down into the frey and across runes, if you have them set up,
for massive damage.
As you lower her health, Florianne will head to the left and right sides of the
courtyard and more Venatori will emerge. Defeat the lesser foes first and bring
Florianne back to the middle ground so you can pummel her. During this phase
you'll have to contend with being put to sleep and the Grand Duchess raising a
Guard. Abilities that deal more damage to Guard are obviously useful at this
point, Haste seems to be one of the more useful Focus abilities for this fight.
Loot: 7654 Experience, The Trepanner's Requital, Rare Ring
________________________________________________________________________________
After the battle you get to make your decision on who will rule, pending Celene
isn't alive, and of course this doesn't come without consequences. If Empress
Celene is alive then you can implicate either Briala or Gaspard as the traitor
whom can be sentenced to death. Likewise, you can make everyone work together
or just Celene and Briala if you initiated this using the Elven Locket.

Breaking through the Blockade
�����������������������������
This is the first and last time you'll enter the Arbor Wilds so keep your eyes
peeled for Stormheart and Silverite as you travel. The trip to the first
blockade is relatively smooth, just a few Red Templars and Horrors along the
road and split up at that. At the blockade is a Knight with some Marksman, just
take out the ranged attackers first. Continue to the bottom of the waterfall and
aid the Inquisition members against the Horrors. Turn south to find a Red
Templar Forward Camp.
Clear out the camp and loot the [CHEST] for a [MASTER DRAGON-SLAYING RUNE] and
[BIANCA ARMS VI], next to it is a note and [SUPPLY CACHE]. Continue through the
jungle to the water where you'll find a Sentinel Shadow and Red Templar. This
foe is much tougher than others, so focus it first. Cross the river to find
two Behemoths, focus one at a time. If you go south from here you'll find a
small camp with a note and a chest containing [MHEMET'S WAR HAMMER]. Past the
camp you'll find a clearing with an elvhen chest holding a [DRAGON STAFF BLADE]
Schematic and nearby some [FELANDARIS].
Light the Veilfire here and examine the walls to find some Old Elven Writing.
Return to the second blockade and go north up the river. Defeat some Horrors
and turn east to find Leliana and a nearby [FOOTLOCKER] and [SUPPLY CACHE].
Trek north into the clearing where the Temple Gates and the final blockade are
located. There are a number of Red Templar Horrors and Senior Wardens here,
focus on the Horrors first.
The Temple of Mythal
��������������������
With the blockades broken through, enter the Temple. Here you'll have a scene
with Corypheus and his general (Calpernia or Samson). You learn about how
Corypheus is able to pass his will onto blighted creatures and survive. Head
up to the first platform for a scene, you'll need to perform a ritual to open
the door and that means walking in a specific order. Follow the diagram below

Head up the stairs after solving the puzzle but go all the way around the left
past the door instead of through it. Here is another elvhen chest with a [TIER
3 SCHEMATIC] inside. Further in you can obtain the codex [THE REBEL GOD]. Enter
the chamber where you are ambushed, just defeat the Horrors and Templars for
another scene. You have a choice, you can follow the General or go though the
rituals which is much more rewarding. Head over to the Western Ritual first, on
the way check out the [SONG TO FALON'DIN] and down the steps [THE MYSTERY OF
JUNE]. This is split into two sections, easier to start on the north. The
diagram is shown facing east since that's the way you enter.

Head to the Inner Sanctum to meet Abelas. He offers an alliance, if you accept
then you don't have to fight him or the Sentinels any longer. Refuse or jump
down the hole from earlier and you will contend with them. Follow the guide to
a pot with an [AMULET OF POWER] (SOLAS) and the [LONGBOW OF THE GRIFFON], not
to mention the [JUDGMENT OF MYTHAL] codex. In the next room check out the [SONG
TO ELGARN'NAN], [TWINS IN SHADOW], and [THE ASCENSION OF GHILAN'NAIN] codices.
Light the Veilfire and check the southwestern wall for Unreadable Elven Writing.
Head up the steps and search another wall with veilfire for Untranslatable Elven
Writing, open the door nearby after finding the [SONG TO SYLAISE]. Plenty of
fighting goes on here and it can wrap around where you are going anyways, so
just follow the guide. There is an [ELVHEN CHEST] down the tunnel where the
Sentinel Guide goes. Loot the [ELVHEN CHEST] here at the top of the stairs then
go into the next room and into the Well of Sorrows. Here you'll meet the General
of Corypheus's army depending on who you sided with earlier in the game. You'll
have the chance to weaken them if you did those respective quests as well.

Whether you weaken Samson or not, you'll still have to contend with the Templars
at his side and his flurry of attacks. Use an area of effect attack at the start
to destroy the Templars, Mark of the Rift works well. Samson will use fullspins
to knock down your companions and build Guard so that you aren't actually
hurting him. Use War Horn and Shield Bash to break through this and keep Samson
taunted away from your ranged attackers. It will take some time, but this is a
battle against a single man so it isn't that difficult.
Loot: Certainty

After the battle you must make a decision, will Morrigan or the Inquisitor
drink from the Well of Sorrows? After your decision, a scene takes place and
you are returned to Skyhold.

Strategy
��������
You'll want to use Cold attacks against Corypheus to slow him down, allowing
your melee attackers to get in range and taunt him. Keep your team spread out
so that the group attacks that Corypheus uses don't damage everyone and hit him
with everything you have. Watch out for the walls of red lyrium that Corypheus
can summon to split the group a lot and block ranged characters from being able
to see and attack him. After some damage Corypheus will retreat to the balcony
so chase him up the steps. Maintain the same strategy and drop his health to
50% to trigger the second part of the battle.

Health: 226288 (Starts at 113144)

Strategy
��������
Focus on the front legs with area of effect attacks aimed just under the Red
Lyrium Dragon's head, this will get all three in the damage. Keep up Barrier
and quickly drop the front two legs so you can flank the dragon much more
easily. This dragon is like most, using fireballs and breath to deal heavy
damage and has a nasty tail whip if you stand behind it. The Red Lyrium Dragon
can use Guard so break through that with Shield Bash. It starts at half health
and you must drain it completely in order to win this fight.

��������
You get a chance to restock at the [SUPPLY CACHE] on your way up. As you
approach keep an eye out for the area of effect attacks Corypheus will unleash,
taking cover is usually the best option. This is similar to the first phase
except you'll win when you drain him to 0 health remaining, so use everything
you have to take him down.
________________________________________________________________________________
At Skyhold you make speak with your many companions, but to trigger the ending
you'll need to retire to your quarters. Be sure to watch the scene after the
credits and you'll be returned to Skyhold with a post-completion save.

Every great war has its heroes. I'm just curious what kind you'll be.

Most people would have spread that out over more than one day
- Glad to be alive (Varric +1)
- Too many people died up there. (Varric +1)
- I'm fine. (Varric -1)
- This is all bullshit. (Varric +1)
- I can barely keep up. (Varric +1)
"Bad for morale" would be an understatement. I still can't believe anyone was
in there and lived.
- Why did you stay?
- It hasn't sunk in yet.
- I was fortunate.
- I can't believe it, either.
- We need to close the Breach.
2. Talk to Varric after initial conversation

3. Talk to Varric after Champions of the Just

Finding more of it really punches a hole in my "red lyrium at the temple was a
coincidence" theory.
- How fast does it spread?

- Anything but celebrate.

One day, they may write about me as a traitor, a madwoman, a fool. And they may
be right.
- You had to do it.
- It's too late to turn back.
- It was foolish. (Cassandra -5)

I cannot afford to be so careless again.

- You're Nevarran royalty?
- Is that why you left Nevarra?

- Will there be a new Divine?
- What if they don't agree?
- Would you serve a new Divine?
- Why did you leave the Chantry?
- Who is Chancellor Roderick?

Mages, templars, innocent people of all kinds now look to the Inquisition to
decide their fate.
- I'll do all I can.
- And you'll help decide.
- Their fate is in their hands.
And now many believe you are the agent of His will. Whatever the truth is,
that belief gives you power.
- I'll use it to change things. (Vivienne -1)
- The Chantry will be restored. (Vivienne +5)

We also need to increase our lyrium supplies considerably. The Chantry may still
have stockpiles we can use.
- We're not feeding addictions. (Vivienne -1)
- That may not be enough. (Vivienne +1)
- Cullen can handle that.
Before this crisis is over, you may find that templars, flawed as they may be,
are all that stand between us and chaos.
- I'm not as confident in them.
- You're probably right.
- You don't trust mages.
- Do you pose a risk?
- Templars aren't the solution. (Vivienne +1)
- That's just Chantry rhetoric. (Vivienne -5)
- I agree with you. (Vivienne +5)
- Tevinter doesn't think so.
You told me that you'd see the Chantry restored. What about the Circle?

The Hinterlands is located in Ferelden outside of Redcliffe. The conflict
between Rebel Mages and Templars is evident here as the two sides often battle
across the hilly terrain. This is one of the largest areas available for
exploration in Thedas with plenty for the Inquisitor to do. The Crossroads and
Redcliffe Farm highlight the mainstays of civilization not wrought with conflict
but with commerce and stability. There is High Dragon in this zone and the Carta
base dungeon of Valammar.

Requirement: Enter the Hinterlands
Reward: 50 Influence, 1 Power (Total: 250 Influence, 5 Power)
There are 5 additional camps other than the one you start in, top-left and
bottom-left, top-right and bottom-right, and then center from your current
location at the Outskirts Camp. Dwarfson's Camp is at the bottom-right and has
a [CHEST] on a ledge. On the way here you should find a Worried Scout, he can
start the "Strange Bedfellows" quest. The Upper Lake Camp is central and has an
Oculura nearby. The Redcliffe Farms Camps is at the top-left near the Redcliffe
Farms. The Forest Camp is out to the southwest. In the northeast you'll find the
Dusklight Camp, don't go too far past it unless you're trying to fight a High
Dragon.

Quest Giver: Recruit Bellette
Requirement: Enter the Hinterlands
Reward: 177 Experience, 80 Influence, 1 Power
Go east of the Crossroads and you'll find Recruit Bellette guarding a stone
arch. Ask about the bandits to trigger the quest. Follow the trail until you
find some of the bandits, two Footmen and two Archers. Like most scenarios, have
your Warrior charge in and gain their attention while everyone else takes out
the Archers. Further east you'll find yourself in the Rebel Queen's Ravine, a
scout usually can be seen running back at this point.
The camp has five Archers and an Enforcer guarding it, you'll need to check his
resistances and tank him away from the other party members. The Archers all
stand close enough to be taken out quickly with some Area of Effect attacks
like Immolate and Explosive Arrow. Focus down the Enforcer, keeping up your
Guard as much as possible and then Barrier. Loot the bodies for [LETTER ON A
BANDIT IN THE HINTERLANDS] and [AN UNSIGNED LETTER ON A BANDIT BODY]. This can
become the Dusklight Camp, so be sure to set up here. Avoid going too far north
into the valley, there are Dragons and an unskilled and underleveled party would
get decimated.

Apostates in the Witchwood
��������������������������
Quest Giver: Dead body of an apostate. This is found southeast of the Outskirts
Camp. A note in a house from the Crossroads to Redcliffe or the
one in the caves near Witchwood also starts the quest.
Requirement: Enter the Hinterlands
Reward: 354 Experience, 200 Influence, 2 Power
The [STRONGHOLD OF THE APOSTATE MAGES] note can be obtained near the Outskirts
Camp where some apostates and templars are fighting. Head over to Witchwood and
take out the magical barrier with a Mage. You'll need to fight off some of the
Spellbinders that are around the cave that leads to the stronghold first though.
The apostates will try to cut you off with runes, just plow through and get in
their faces where they will fall easily. The Rebel Mage drops the [WRATH OF
LOVIAS].
Templars to the West
��������������������
Quest Giver: Letter on the corpse of a Templar. Can also trigger this quest by

You'll want to start at the Upper Lake Camp so you are full on supplies. From
here just head west along the road towards the Redcliffe Farm. You'll encounter
a Templar Defender and three Templar Knights. The Templar Defender can be a bit
of a challenging foe, so grab his attention and defeat the rest of the Templar
Knights first. Head south of the bridge when you reach it to spot a pair of
Templar Defenders.
Continuing along this path you'll find the entrance to the Templar Encampment.
It's guarded by a Templar Archer who will retreat a bit to three more Templar
Archers and a Templar Knight. They are grouped tightly so a group attack would
be best to take them out, Immolate or Explosive Arrow works wonders as does
Chain Lightning. Hopefully these guys don't attract the remaining three Templar
Knights and the Templar Defender that are further back or you'll have 9 foes to
contend with at once. Loot the area once you're done, there is a schematic for
[TEMPLAR GREATSWORD] in a chest at the back and some [ROYAL ELFROOT]. The
Templar Defender drops [THE SWEETISH FINGERS].

BOSS: Ferelden Frostback Level 12
________________________________________________________________________________
Health: 105261
Defense: 38
Resistance: Greater Fire
Vulnerable: Cold
Immunity: All Disabling Effects, Slowed
Ability: Perceptive
Strategy
��������
The battle starts almost as soon as you enter Lady Shayna's Valley. The High
Dragon will not land at this point, you'll need to defeat the Dragonlings and
move to the Blood Cliffs to the north. Use the rock pillar to shield yourself
from fireballs as you defeat the Dragonlings. Ice attacks are definitely your
best attacks against these foes, so bring Mages with Ice Staves and toss Frost
Runes on your physical attackers if you have it. As you enter the Blood Cliffs
the Ferelden Frostback will land in the center.
From a melee perspective, a Warrior can get up close and use Shield Wall easily
since the leg strikes and bites are telegraphed. It's a great way to build up
some Guard in addition to a Barrier you should have going. You need to be ready
to avoid the flame breath at all times, do your best to keep everyone but your
Warrior behind this High Dragon. The sign for this is when she rears back with
the flames in her mouth. You'll also have to contend with the wing flap that
pushes party members away that are too close.
From a ranged perspective, you'll need to watch for fireballs and focus on
doing a lot of damage. Archers can really put some good damage out there, couple
it with an Assassin's Mark of Death (bring Cole with this setup if you can) and
you can deal a lot of damage then trigger the mark for upwards of 5,000 damage
to really put a dent in the Frostback. Mages should use Energy Barrage with an
Ice Staff or general Ice Magic for the most effect, though a Mage with Barrier
will certainly aid in staying alive.
At times you'll have to deal with the Ferelden Frostback stunning the party and
flying away. At this moment Dragonlings will appear from around the arena, just
focus them down and bring the High Dragon back. Keep the Frostback taunted and
away from your ranged attackers, don't shy away from using Potions and Focus
abilities.
Reward: 1600 Influence, 4 Power, Superior Belt of Focus, Grand Enchanter's Staff
Super Amulet of Constitution, Dragon's Tooth, Intense Dragon Blood
Dragon Webbing, Dragon Scales, Dragon Bone
________________________________________________________________________________
Loot the area after that war. On the east side raise a bridge to gain acces to
more stuff. You'll get quite a bit of [OBSIDIAN] and [VERIDIUM]. There are a
few [CHESTS] up north, don't pass those up. You can also find the final Landmark
if you've obtained all the other ones.

The Fallow Mire can be unlocked from the War Table once you have 8 Inquisition
Power. It is exactly what it sounds like: a bog in the southern section of
Fereleden. As for what we are doing here, well... it seems that some of our
men have been captured by Avvar Barbarians, who wish to fight the great
"Herald of Andraste". Fame has its price, my friends...

Agents:
1. Sky Watcher - Open and then close the Fade Rift near Sky Watcher. After you
defeat the Avvar and free the captured patrol, look outside of the keep to
find Sky Watcher. You must recruit him at this point, if you leave the zone
he will disappear.

Blue Vitriol Survey in the Mire
�������������������������������
Start: Requisition Officer
Reward: 1 Power, 200 Influence
Materials: 20 Blue Vitriol, 10 Summer Stones
Depending on the amount of exploration you've been doing up to now, this may
be very easy. 20 Summer Stones and 10 Blue Vitriol are needed here. Summer
Stones are found near The Den landmark as well as pretty much everywhere (you
can find them in Sword Coast as well). Blue Vitriol is throughout the Mire and
really can't be missed.
Artifact Requisition in the Mire
��������������������������������
This request hinges upon us finding one "Fereldan Medallion of Service" and
one "Fereldan Tome". "Where the heck are these?" you may ask. Fair question!
Corpse enemies have a rare chance of dropping both of these. This is likely
added to their drop list once you have the quest, so head out and keep killing
those corpses, but be sure to check what they leave behind. After 20-30 kills
you will very likely have this quest completed.
You will get the "Summer Stone Survey in the Mire" quest after this one.
Elixir Requisition in the Mire
������������������������������
Start: Requisition Officer
Reward: 1 Power, 200 Influence
Materials: 5 Elfroot, 5 Diseased Tissue
Well, seems like we need elixirs to combat the plague! Elfroot is easy enough
of course, but what about the diseased tissue? That is found out on corpses that
are floating in the bog. Looting them will likely give you what you need.
Of course, the catch is that out in the bog you will likely be attacked by
corpses, so be sure to clear out any enemies after looting. Once you have five
pieces of flesh you can turn this in.
Note that you will likely get the "Artifact Requisition in the Mire" quest
after turning this in.

Quest Giver: War Table
Requirement: Venture to the Hinterlands once.
Reward: 1,025 Experience, 400 Influence, 3 Power
While we will do this main quest, it is ideal to go ahead and head towards
the nearby town of Fisher's End. In the houses around this area (including
up to the northwest) you can find several codex's, including [BEFORE
ANDRASTIANISM: FORGOTTEN FAITHS], [BOTTLES OF THEDSAS] (this is an updated
codex entry and hidden in the northwest house by the bed), and the "Place"
codex [RIVAIN] (down in the village). You can also find "The Light of Andastre"
landmark nearby.
Corpses will likely come greet you here. Lovely. Take some time to explore
the bog and get used to the corpses. Many of them are ranged, so you will
want your warriors to set up defenses and close in quickly. They are also
ice-resistant, so Solus is likely a poor option here. Consider knocking them
down and/or stunning and sleeping them.
Head to the central landmass to the southeast to find a beacon. You can
energize this for the "Beacons in the Dark" quest, which you should do now.
After that, stock up if you have to and press further south to the second
beacon of that quest chain.
Once you reach that point, it is a short journey south again to the unclaimed
camp, which should be your next objective. From there we can regroup as we
claim the "Old Thoroughfare Camp".
From here it is wise to mop up ever side quest you have. Rifts, beacons, and
anything else you get along the way. We will really need the level (or levels)
that come. Plus, this main quest is the last thing on the map.
Once you are ready, head south and you'll come to a castle in the distance.
Here you will have dozens of undead pop up. Your party encourages you to run,
which is honestly the smart thing to do. If you are capable though, you can
put everything here to the sword. Fire AoE attacks (Earthshaking Strike) are
godly here. Despite the "They are endless!" screams from your companions,
these undead are indeed limited. Watch any range fighter's back as more come
up and kill until you are content. Only do this if you are comfortable fighting
them, but feel free to use up as many health potions as you wish...
Once you enter the castle, kill the Avvar and go up the ramp. You will find a
[CHEST x2] up here as well as a potion cache (the reason we could use so many
potions earlier). Hit the gate lever to open the way forward. You'll have to
battle a few Avvar warriors, but soon you'll be in a ruined keep where the
leader, the "Hand of Korth" will face you.
��������������������������������������������������������������������������������
BOSS: Hand of Korth Level 9
________________________________________________________________________________
Health: 9867
Defense: 46
Electricity Vulnerability
Immunity: All Disabling Effects
Immunity: paralyzed
Guard
Immunity: Slowed, Stunned, Taunted
Rampage
The Avvar leader is not alone. In the middle of the area will be a Defender
unit while up the steps in the very back are three archers. Let Cassandra
challenge the "Hand" to keep him busy. From there, either stun or run by
the defender and take out the three archers first. The last thing we need is
them raining fire from their advantageous position. This is where your archers
should be, once it is clear.
After that, take out the defender and focus on the leader. Ranged units should
have no problem providing support as there are no reinforcements after you take
out his allies. The Hand of Korth is a two-handed fighter, and as such he has
large, sweeping blows that will hit any melee fighters. He can also re-apply
his armor in the middle of the fight and will occasionally (and stupidly) stand
and cheer at times.
With him challenged, he will focus solely on Cassandra, which lets you lay down
AoE traps and effects to great effect. If you are melee, keep your guard up
and/or use your excellent Block and Slash ability to avoid damage and hurt him
as well. Ranged characters have it easy here as long as they tank can stay
up-right.
Once you fall this beast of a man, claim his treasure (likely a two-handed
rare weapon) and his cell key. Your allies are close by. Open the door and
let them out, gaining +200 Influence and a [CHEST]. Near the entrance is the
Sky Warrior who helped us out on our first rift. Talk to him and ask him to
join your efforts for the [SKY WARRIOR AGENT] and some power. Extremely good
to have this barbarian on our side.
Rifts in the Mire
�����������������
There are two rifts to worry about here. The first can be tackled after
setting up the second camp. It is similar to your last rift at the Storm
Coast. Remember, the one by the waterfall? Expect normal enemies (Wraiths)
at first, but on the second wave there will be a Despair Demon. If you can,
light it on fire (which is tough without a fire-specialized mage). You can
always thin out the lesser enemies and disrupt it, which helps. As an added
bonus, an Avvar warrior will be helping us out here. Feel free to talk to
him before hand to learn that at least he is honorable. He is a beast of a
warrior, so no need to worry about him at all as he will help greatly.
The second rift is the hardest one yet. It is to the north of the last one.
Be sure to bring regen potions for everyone. The first wave isn't bad, to be
honest. Wraiths and a single Despair Demon. Take them out, as you've had some
practice. The second wave will be tough. Here we fact TWO Despair Demons and
a Revenant. Everything here is weak to fire, so use it if you can and have
everyone drink a regen potion at the first scratch. Put the fire on the
Revenant as he is not likely to zoom away like the Despair Demons. Don't
bother with the disrupt this time: it only effects the Revenant for about
a second. Slay them all and seal the rift. With any look you got some good
drops from these enemies.
With that the rifts in the mire are clear. Good job!
Holding the Mire
����������������
Quest Giver: Scout Harding
Requirement: Enter the Fallow Mire
Reward: 50 Influence and 1 Power per camp.
This isn't much of a challenge as there is only one other camp in the Mire.
It is located south of the second beacon area, past a small set of stone
archways. Be sure to search nearby for loot and the remains of a scout. This
is a good location to take on the challenges that lie to the east and further
to the south.
Beacons in the Dark
�������������������
Quest Giver: Find a Beacon in the Fallow Mire
Requirement: Enter the Fallow Mire
Reward: 967 Experience, 200 Influence, 2 Power
This quest is a four-part quest to light beacons on the way to the "Lost Souls"
main quest. May as well do something on your long march! It also goes hand in
hand with the "Beneath the Mire" quest.
The first beacon is a taste of what this is about: have a mage energize the
beacon and get ready to defend it. You will always have the high ground on
every beacon, and there will always be an elite Lesser Terror that acts as
the mini-boss. He will usually come in first, followed by corpses. This is the
same set-up as every other beacon.
On the first one, knock down the terror as it appears from the ramp and get
ready for two sets of corpses to come up two different hills. Set traps for
them and use fire if you can (Earthshaking Strike is a beautiful thing here).
Take out the corpses and then the terror. Once you are done, light the veilfire
nearby and examine the runes on the pillar for the "Beneath the Mire" quest,
then continue on.
At the second beacon, be SURE you grab the [APOSTATE WIDRIS'S JOURNAL] item
laying on the ground. This gives you the "These Demons are Clever" quest,
which we will want to do later. Now, here the set-up is the same as the first
beacon. Defend the high ground, set traps when you can and take out the elite
terror enemy. The numbers are the same as the first beacon, so take them out
like before. Kill it with fire! Don't forget the "Beneath the Mire" quest!
The third beacon will likely come after you play around with the last rift
and Widris. It is a bit harder than the last one, but the set-up is the same.
You will be facing two Terror enemies here. Have Cassandra taunt them both
so you have a good chance of setting them on fire. There will be more corpse
enemies coming in as long as the Terror enemies show up, so kill them as you
wish and slay the Terrors to end the third round. Don't forget the "Beneath
the Mire" quest!
The fourth and last beacon is likely your last objective before the Lost Souls
quest. It is similar to the third beacon, with two Terror enemies and ramps up
to the middle area. Trap the ramps, use some regen potions and fire, and take
out those enemies! It should be a good time.
Once they are dead, you can bask in the knowledge that you made the path south
safer. That and the +200 Influence doesn't hurt. You will also be able to
complete the "Beneath the Mire" quest!
Beneath the Mire
����������������
Quest Giver: Rune in Stone Beacons
Requirement: Enter the Fallow Mire
Reward: 512 Experience, 200 Influence, 2 Power
This quest really goes hand in hand with the "Beacons in the Dark" quest.
Completing it is all about remembering it is there! Do the "Beacons in the
Dark" quest and every time you defend a beacon, light a torch with the Veil
Fire that remains and examine the rune on the pillar. This tells a bit of
story about what the crazed apostate Widris is up to. After the fourth beacon,
his work will be made clear and you will get his research as a reward, which
nets you the [TEARS OF THE DEAD RECIPE]. Very nice!
These Demons Are Clever
�����������������������
Quest Giver: Journal near Veilfire Beacon
Requirement: Enter the Fallow Mire
Reward: 967 Experience, 200 Influence, 2 Power
This quest should be yours after reading the journal near the second beacon
in the mire. Sounds like an Apostate is going mad out here. Best to deal with
him now. This quest will be on hold until you finish the Rift quests, as the
apostate is protected by his location. Once you do finish the rift sealing
in this area, go heal up (rest!) and re-visit "The Den". From there, take the
west exit out and head northeast. This leads to the "Hidden Apostate Camp",
where Widris is hiding.
He isn't happy to see us and will summon 4 level 12 Wraiths. He himself is
a level 12 Elite Mage. Have Cassandra get his focus and Solus should barrier
her up to ensure she lives. Varric and you should then focus on taking out
the wraiths as fast as possible. Their ranged support can wipe us out if we
don't hurry.
Without the wraiths, Widris is doomed. He hits hard, but it is nothing Solus's
barrier can't handle. Keep him knocked down or stunned if you can and back him
into the walls here. Once you finish him (+200 Influence), be sure to loot his
body for some rare gear, then open the [CHEST x2] in the area and turn on the
elven ward for +40 Influence.
Also note that there is a rare Dawn Lotus just to the northwest of his camp,
past the log and surrounded by Blood Lotus.
Cabin Fever
�����������
Quest Giver: Lost Cabin Key
Requirement: Enter the Fallow Mire
Reward: 128 Experience, 80 Influence
South of the third beacon in the area, past the Avvar Archer checkpoints you
will find a cabin. A locked cabin. Being the curious sort, we MUST get in!
To do that, we have to find the key. This starts a hot/cold hunt with your
investigation button. The key can be found to the northeast, on the edge of
the bog water. Kill whatever pops up and grab it, then back to the cabin.
Just opening this nets us +80 Influence. Just because. Search the [CHEST]
here, loot what you can, and claim the [WATERLOGGED DIARY] on the table.

Iron Survey on the Coast
������������������������
The iron is likely no big deal to you, but Serpentstone is the new thing
here. You can find it right outside of camp, actually, to the south and again
on a rock on your way west to the coast. Just two examples of close locations.
It is not as common as iron, but can be found while exploring. Serpentstone
shows up more often the further south you go.
Once you do complete this quest, +1 Power is yours. You will also get the
"Antivenom Requisition on the Coast" quest after you complete this one.
NOTE: This quest can be repeated, provided you have the resources. An easy
source of power.
Antivenom Requisition on the Coast
����������������������������������
Elfroot is likely no big deal to you, but Spider Glands can be. They are of
course gotten off of Giant Spider corpses, which you are likely to find in
the caves on Storm Coast. These aren't guaranteed drops, but you can find
five of them by the time you finish this area for sure. You can also find
a TON of spiders near Lyrium Falls, in the south of the map (they show up
after clearing out the rift in this area, which you should be level 8+
before trying).
NOTE: This quest can be repeated, provided you have the resources. An easy

Wardens of the Coast
��������������������
Quest Giver: War Table
Requirement: Arrive at the Storm Coast
Reward: 177 Experience, 80 Influence, 1 Power
This is the main quest of this area (and the reason we came here), but it
should be noted that the side-quests "Cleaning House", "Rifts of the Coast",
and "Holding the Storm Coast" all appear once we first arrive in the area.
Talking to the Requisition Officer will add "Iron Survey on the Coast" to that
list as well.
We recommend doing the "Cleaning House" quest first, as well as the "Rifts of
the Coast" quest and even pursue the Astrariums before doing this. All of
those things are nearby, whereas the warden clues are to the south. Plus you
will likely gain a level or two.
Once you are ready, head south for the top two warden markers. They are near
the southern astrarium. It should be noted you are looking for stacks of papers
here. One is on a trail by a tree and a second is by a tent. Very hard to miss.
Further to the south are the other two (near Westridge). The third you can find
inside a building on a cliff. More notes. There is a [CHEST] nearby as well as
a hidden [GREY WHISKEY/RITEWINE/CONSCRIPTION ALE] bottle inside the house.
The final notes are just to the southwest. Near a small campfire. It seems
that the wardens have moved on, after talking a fisherman out of joining.
We won't be talking to them on the Storm Coast...
Cleaning House
��������������
Quest Giver: Scout Harding
Requirement: Enter the Storm Coast
Reward: 177 Experience, 80 Influence, 1 Power
Scout Harden will bring this quest to your attention as soon as you enter
the Storm Coast. Soliders went to go talk to some bandits... not very smart.
Head south to the objective point and up the cliffs. A small path takes you
to a higher opening. You will likely encounter a bear or Hessarian foes along
the way.
At the top is a house. Kill the foes here (on harder difficulties you can put
an archer on the roof for the damage bonus) and loot the house fora [CHEST] and
two pots. The next house is shut, but contains the corpses of the soldiers. As
we suspected. However, there is a map and a note here. Read them to get the
[MERCY'S CREST RECIPE] and get an optional objective to this quest:
OPTIONAL: Requisition Mercy's Crest to challenge the Bandit Leader.
This optional objective requires some crafting though. You need to get two
Serpentstones (not too hard) and one Deepstalker Hide. You can find some
Deepstalkers in the dungeons to the far left and right sides of the coast by
going into the two dungeons (there are a number of chests in there too, but
not many enemies: just some Deepstalkers and Spiders, both of which aren't
threats to you).
Once you have the items, visit the camp and forge (and equip!) the item. You
can now peacefully visit the Hessarian camp to the south. Go ahead and enter
and talk to the leader. This will start a fight no matter what you say.
Naturally.
NOTE: You can actually get the same rewards AFTER beating the Hessarian Leader,
despite not having the crest equipped. You MUST have it at least crafted
though, otherwise you will face the same fight below with the leader's
men thrown in as well. You also face missing the agent here, so be sure
to craft that accessory!
Time for a fight! This isn't a particularly tough battle. You'll face the
Hessarian Leader and two Hessarian Hounds. These are Elite foes, however.
Have your tank challenge and Solus freeze the leader so you can shatter him.
Traps and area of effect skills can be put in the central area, as the hounds
will move through there quite a bit. Earthshaking Strike's upgrade is lovely
here as well. Focus down a target as they get close to death and keep barrier
effects going. An archer with Full Draw can help a ton here too. Keep at it
and you'll take him out.
Afterwards enjoy the +330 Influence and talk to the Hessarian Soldier that
comes to speak to you. He'll claim to serve you now, which nets you +1 Power
and the [HESSARIAN AGENT]. Very nice! See, it is worth making the charm!
Inspect the house here for the [HARD IN HIGHTOWN: CHAPTER 2] book as well as
[THE CONVERSION OF HESSARIAN] note. There's a [CHEST] as well. There are some
notes to read outside as well, but we are done with this quest.
NOTE: You will now randomly see soldiers out patrolling. They are no longer
hostile, and will in fact fight against the beasts and enemies in the
area, which helps us out. Thanks, Hessarian Swords!
Rifts of the Coast
������������������
Reward: 1 Power per Rift
It is recommended to do "Cleaning House" before you do this.
There are only two rifts on the coast. The first one is west of the Hessarian
Camp, down on the beach. There is a special event on the way though: you will
see a Giant fighting a Dragon. Now, we can join in this fight, but the Dragon
will actually fly off, leaving us with the giant.
The giant's attacks are powerful, and should be avoided by anyone who isn't
the tank! It will slam its fists down as well as pick up boulders to throw.
During the start of the fight, it will also jump at party members and land
powerfully. Aim for his legs and lay what traps you can. Ranged fighters excel
here, but warriors need to watch his attacks extra carefully and attack his
flank.
Once his legs lose half their health, he will kneel down in pain. This is the
time to put up your AoE attacks and hit him hard. He stays like this for several
seconds, but will get up soon. He relaxs the jumping attacks from here, but can
still pack a punch so stay on him to fell him for good.
Once he is down you can (safely) access the rift beyond him. Normal rift demons
come out of here. Take them out and disrupt when you can, then get ready for
the second wave. Close the rift once you drive the demons back.
The second rift is located out at Morrin's Outlook. Head over there and explore
the area if you haven't already. You'll be treated with dragonlings you can
actually kill, which is fun. The rift is at the dock, below the point, and is
nothing you haven't faced before. The big challenge here is the Rage Demon that
comes out in the second wave, so be ready for him and try to clear out his
allies so you can disrupt him and take him out easier. Seal the rife once he
is dead.
Rift at the Falls
�����������������
Reward: 1 Power
This quest appears after you close the other rifts. This rift is located near
Lyrium Falls, which is up Long River. It is a Level 12 Rift, meaning you should
stay away until you are 8 or higher (on normal, at least), and have a full
potion stock.
Once you do decide to take it, head into the cave and head to the back. This
place is pretty neat. At the back is the rift. Regular Wraith will compose
the first wave, ready to send a salvo of shots at you. Barrier up and charge.
Take them out and get ready for the much harder second wave, which is even
more Wraiths and a Despair Demon. Note there is a rock pillar to the left you
can use to to draw the demon behind. Divide and conquer. Or let Cassandra
handle the aggro while you thin out the Wraith numbers. That will let you
disrupt the demon to take it out quicker.
Once you are done, close the rift. Be sure to get the Chest and Landmark
nearby and use the Ocalarum.
Holding the Storm Coast
�����������������������
Quest Giver: Scout Harding
Requirement: Enter the Storm Coast
Reward: 50 Influence and 1 Power per camp
This is a pretty standard "set up all your camps" quest. Nothing really
challenging here. You will set these up as you head further south in your
pursuit of the Grey Warden notes. One is down on a beach after leaving a
short cave (the "Small Grove" camp) while the other is in a clearing even
further to the south (the "Driftwood Margin" camp).
Small Grove is best done after Clearing House while you are exploring.
Driftwood Margin is best done after collecting the Grey Warden notes, as
it is nearby.
A Glowing Key
�������������
Head to an abandoned house east of the Small Grove Camp and west of the
Astrarium, it's about inbetween them and by itself. Check the notes and loot
then attempt to open the door, it will not open.
Defeated an Elite Rebel Mage west of Driftwood Margin Camp. Picked up the key
and started the quest. Leads to a [CHEST] with [MIGHTY OFFENSE TONIC RECIPE].

The Temple of Pride
�������������������
This is the main quest of the area, but it is best put off until you finish
up everything else you can. Once reason for this is that shards are needed to
open the temple door. Five of them, in fact. Five isn't alot, especially if
you have been exploring. The Oasis area has 15 in total, for example.
Once you ARE ready to go on with this quest, head to the northwest tunnel from
the Oasis ccamp and up through the tunnel as it leads higher up. This leads to
the Upper Walkways, where you can follow the objective to the temple door. Pay
the tool and enter the temple.
Technically this completes the quest. It does, however, lead to three doors
further on in the temple, all of which are listed below. Not that you should
activate the relic down here for experience and can also light some veilfire
and see a rune directly across from the brazier you light.
Check the next sections for info on what comes next!
The Fire Captured
�����������������
NOTE: To do this quest, we need shards. A lot of them. For that reason this
quest along with the Cold and Spirit doors are best saved until you
explore a ton of areas and collect a ton of shards.
First Door (6 Shard Door):
You'll kill some corpses here. Avoid any fire mines in the room and take
them out. Loot the place afterward. The big tomb here has some fire-related
items in it (nothing too special), but more importantly [+4 FIRE RESISTANCE].
Permanently! Very nice!
You also get 177 Experience, 80 Influence and +1 Power.
Second Door (12 Shard Door):
More corpses. This area is bigger with more mines though, so be careful.
Take them all out and loot the place. Once again the tomb here is the big
reward. It has some more fire-related items in it (again, nothing really
worth noting), but more importantly [+6 FIRE RESISTANCE]. Another permanent
boost!
You also get 512 Experience, 200 Influence, +2 Power for opening the door.
Third Door (18 Shard Door):
The last door. There are more corpses here but there is also a Rage Demon.
The "boss" of the area, I suppose. Take him out with all of the corpses and
loot the area. The big prize is the tomb of course. Open it for fire-related
items, but also some other notable items like the Superb Belt of Fire
Resistance, the Master Fire Rune and [+10 FIRE RESISTANCE]. Very nice!
You also get 967 Experience, 200 Influence, +2 Power for opening the door.
That is all for the fire doors. Get out there and get more shards so you can
open the other doors!
The Cold Endured
����������������
NOTE: To do this quest, we need shards. A lot of them. For that reason this
quest along with the Fire and Spirit doors are best saved until you
explore a ton of areas and collect a ton of shards.
First Door (6 Shard Door):
You'll kill some corpses here. Avoid any ice mines in the room and take
them out. Loot the place afterward. The big tomb here has some ice-related
items in it (nothing too special), but more importantly [+4 COLD RESISTANCE].
Permanently! Very nice!
You also get 177 Experience, 80 Influence and +1 Power.
Second Door (12 Shard Door):
More corpses. This area is bigger with more mines though, so be careful.
Take them all out and loot the place. Once again the tomb here is the big
reward. It has some more cold-related items in it (again, nothing really
worth noting), but more importantly [+6 COLD RESISTANCE]. Another permanent
boost!
You also get 512 Experience, 200 Influence, +2 Power for opening the door.
Third Door (18 Shard Door):
The third and final door. This time you face a Revenant, along with a bunch
of corpses of course. Take them all out while avoiding the ice mines. Shouldn't
be too hard. Loot the area afterward of course. The big prize is the tomb, and
contains cold-related items, a Superb Belt of Cold Resistance, and an Amulet
of Power (Main Character ONLY), and a [+10 COLD RESISTANCE] boost! Lovely!
You also get 967 Experience, 200 Influence, +2 Power for opening the door.
That is all for the cold doors. Get out there and get more shards so you can
open the other doors!
The Spirit Calmed
�����������������
NOTE: To do this quest, we need shards. A lot of them. For that reason this
quest along with the Cold and Fire doors are best saved until you
explore a ton of areas and collect a ton of shards.
First Door (6 Shard Door):
Corpses, Always corpses. Take them out and loot the area. The tomb is of
course the big prize, with minor spirit items and [+4 SPIRIT RESISTANCE].
Can't complain about that!
You also get 177 Experience, 80 Influence and +1 Power.
Second Door (12 Shard Door):
Even more corpses. You know the drill: take them out and loot the area. The
tomb here has more minor spirit items and [+6 SPIRIT RESISTANCE]. Very nice!
You also get 512 Experience, 200 Influence, +2 Power for opening the door.
Third Door (18 Shard Door):
Rifts in the Oasis
������������������
Our normal "Close the Rifts" quest... although the numbers here aren't normal.
The quest will state there are three rifts to be closed, and that is true. This
is actually an easy-to-get-to quest, and can be done early in your visit.
The south rift is out in the open, by a landmark. Each wave of this rift has
a Rage Demon, but shouldn't prove too much of a challenge. Take care of them.
Also note that there is a special treasure nearby. It should be noted that this
large southern area is all sand (we took the pain to find out... manually), but
there is one hidden secret. To the southeast is a large dune. Climb up to it
for the viewpoint, then look around to find a wooden structure to the southeast
of you. Go break this structure for a [CHEST] in a pit (and thankfully a
ladder to get back up). Enjoy your new unique weapon.
Onto the other rifts. There is one to the northeast of the initial camp that
you can get to easily. There is a Lesser Terror in the first wave and the
third wave is three Lesser Terrors. Nothing to be feared, of course. The
final rift is to the west, located in the valley and rather close to the
second camp. This one is really no challenge and has only Shades and Wraiths.
Since you are nearby, you may as well go get the Oasis Camp!
Once you are done with these three rifts, the quest "Rifts High and Low" will
show up. Depending on how you tackle the rifts, of course.
Rifts High and Low
������������������
You may stumble upon this quest, depending on the order you encounter rifts
in. This quest has two rifts in it: one in the south and one in the north.
The south one is relatively close to the Oasis Camp, and is located west, in
the tunnels. This one is a bit harder with Rage Demons and a more enclosed
area (meaning ranged attackers need to watch their back more). Take it out
to clear the tunnels.
Note: On this first rift, be sure to visit the dead-end nearby to find a
hidden [BOTTLE OF THEDAS; GOLDEN SCYTHE 4:90 BLACK] on the table.
The northern rift is at the far northwest edge of the map (going further
north will lead you to the world map). Head north of Enver's Mining Camp to
this rift and take out the numerous Wraiths. Some are up on a rock to the
northeast: a tactical position for your archers. Once you have the first wave
dealt with, prepare for a Despair Demon in the second wave. He comes with
numerous Wraiths that should be your first priority due to their relentless
ranged attack.
Once the Despair Demon falls, close up the rift and be done with this quest.
Holding the Oasis
�����������������
This quest is easy to do. Very easy. Still, the rifts are a bit closer. You
can get this camp out of the way when going after the northern rifts. It is
down in the valley, near the Oasis and aptly named the "Oasis Camp". With
it under your control you will be done with this quest, as it is the only
other camp in the area.
Serpentstone Survey in the Oasis
��������������������������������
You likely already have plenty of Serpentstone in your inventory from your
time on the Storm Coast. That makes the "Paragon's Luster" the stone that
you'll need. To the west of the Desert Camp (stay high!) you will run into
Enver's Mining Camp. Around here you will find plenty of the stuff. You can
also find it naturally while exploring the valleys and oasis area to the
north. As you only need two chunks, this quest will be done in a heartbeat.
You will unlock the "Mining Requisition in the Oasis" quest once you complete
this one.
What It's Worth
���������������
To get this quest, go unlock the Oasis Camp and then wandering around nearby
(more than likely slightly to the east, up the hill) is a wandering miner. go
talk to her and she'll tell you about leaving her ring in a cave nearby... a
cave full of spiders. Hearing about that gives us this quest.
The cave in question is actually "Par'as Cavern", and is on the northern part
of the map. Still, it isn't far away and can be reached by heading northeast
from the Oasis Camp, up the hill. You can find a note near a body outside the
cave. Poke your head in and retreat to tempt a couple spiders to come out, so
you can deal with them outside.
The cave itself is absolutely packed. In fact, it isn't a bad idea to go in
and draw a few more out if you wish. There are easily 6-8 more in there after
all. On Normal and below, it is easy to charge in without much though (maybe
a regen drink), but on higher difficulties we will need to be more strategic
by drawing the spiders into a chokepoint, having a tank hold them, and then
use traps and area of effects spells to cull their numbers.
Once you are done, nab the [CHEST] in the middle and go down the left tunnel.
It also has a [CHEST] with the [WEDDING RING] inside it, which is what the
miner wanted. While you are here, check the right path for yet another [CHEST]
and the middle door to start the "The Door in Par'as Cavern" quest, which we
will do directly after this one.
Go talk to the miner now and return the ring. As a reward, you will get a key
to the door that you found. Hopefully her marriage will be alright!
The Door in Par'as Cavern
�������������������������
You will get this quest while doing the "What It's Worth" quest, and as a
result for finishing that quest you'll get the key to the door in question!
Everything just ties together so nicely!
Go open the door with the key and open the [CHEST] inside for random goodies.
And with that you are done. Yep, that's it!
Mining Requisition in the Oasis
�������������������������������
This requisition is laughable. Seriously. All they want out of you is 5 Iron
and 5 Nugskins. These can be found in the tunnels, but you very likely already
have these items naturally, and can likely turn the quest in as soon as you
get is. A very easy quest.
This will unlock the "Alloy Requisition in the Oasis" quest once you complete
it. Which, honestly, is another very easy one.
Alloy Requisition in the Oasis
������������������������������
This time you are tasked to get 4 Serpentstones and 4 Paragon's Luster. Again,
the only challenge here is the Paragon's Luster, which is native to this area,
and once again the best place for it is to the north and to the west (Oasis
area and Enver's Mining Camp). Once you have four pieces you can likely turn
this in to complete the quest.

Crestwood has seen better days... the Blight had hit Crestwood hard and caused
the city to drown (leading to Crestwood and "Old Crestwood"), but the city still
stands. However, now thanks to the rifts, the dead are coming forth and from the
fade and terrorizing the land. Add to that the bandits taking advantage of the
situation and reports of a dragon nearby and this area sorely needs someone to

Caravan Requisition in Crestwood
��������������������������������
Quest Giver: Requisition Officer
Requirement: Be in Crestwood
Reward: Influence, +1 Power
Our first requisition quest asks for 10 Iron and 5 Plaideweave. The iron
is very easy to find throughout the Hinterlands and Crestwood. Very, very
common. Plaideweave less so, but it is still tier 1 and you may already have
five of it from enemy drops in the Hinterlands, but you can find it in loot
bags as you explore the area. Once you have these common drops, craft the item
to complete the quest.
Longbow Requisition in Crestwood
��������������������������������
Quest Giver: Requisition Officer
Requirement: Be in Crestwood
Reward: Influence, +1 Power
This quest asks for more iron and two Druffalo Hides. The Druffalo can be
found on the eastern part of the map, past the fort, out roaming the plains
and farmland. Take two of them down and then acquire the iron you need to
finish this quest.
Truth Requisition in Crestwood
������������������������������
Quest Giver: Requisition Officer
Requirement: Be in Crestwood
Reward: Influence, +1 Power
Time for some propaganda! Hahaha! We covered the Druffalo already, and
Embrium is a very common plant. You likely already have a ton of them already,
but if you want more you can find them scattered throughout the farmlands,
east of the fort. That is the most common area to find them in Crestwood.
Gather up what you need and craft the item to complete this quest.

A Change of Heart
�����������������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: None
Reward: 80 Influence, Agent Jana
NOTE: This is not a named quest in the game.
While this isn't really a quest in the game, it IS important to do!
From the road north of the initial camp you will come across some Wardens
fighting some corpses. Kill them off and talk to the Wardens. Note the woman
who runs off.
After that, go talk to the woman in the house. She will express her admiration
for the Wardens and wants to join them. Ask her "Why now?" and she will thne
recognize you as the Inquisitor (heh). You can than convince her not to join
the Wardens, which turns her into one of your agents. If you happen to have
Solas with you, he can do this as well, but he isn't needed by any means.
And with that you've recruited Jana into the inquisition. She will work under
Leliana's forces.
Still Waters
������������
Quest Giver: Scout Harding
Requirement: Travel to Crestwood
Reward: 2446 Experience, 500 Influence, +5 Power
Besides looking for the Grey Warden, one of the main reasons we are here is
due to reports of corpses walking the land. Turns out the reports are right.
Follow the road from the initial camp east (doing the quest above) and then
south to the village of Crestwood.
Once you arrive, help the front guards drive off the Corpses and enter the
town. A man inside will tell you to talk to the mayor (probably a good idea).
One of the houses on the right (the far one) has the [CRUMPLED LETTER] codex
inside it. There's also a house boarded up near that (again, probably smart).
The house to the left has a man you should talk to to get the "The Naturalist"
quest, which we'll cover later.
Onto the mayor's house! It is up the hill, the highest house in the small
village. Enter and talk to the mayor to see what you can do. Convince him you
are here to help and he'll mention the fort (occupied by bandits... go figure)
that has the dam controls. We'll have to fight our way to it, but he gives us
the key we need. While you are in the house, grab [THE ANDERFELS] codex from
the corner.
While we are close to Crestwood, you should make time to head northeast a bit
to a plaza with the "Memories of the Drowned" landmark, a Logging Stand, and
a woman who will give you the "Homecoming" quest. That quest goes with this
one, so we may as well be efficient!
"Capturing Caer Bronach"
NOTE: Capturing this keep is considered a separate quest in this area...
but it is needed to do this quest. We're doing it here.
The keep is to the south of Crestwood. Very hard to miss. Head to the old
Marketplace Road and follow it southeast to the keep. Let's take the subtly
approach here and bust the front door in...
You'll be greeted warmly by two armored Mabari and archers on the roof. Take
out the pups and you can either use the stairs nearby to jump over to the
roof or just use the ladder. The fighting will draw down two foot soldiers,
so be ready for them.
Move further in to a courtyard. Ignore the ladders to the left for now and
charge the stairs. A shielded guardsman is up here, but beyond him are some
archers. Foot soldiers and Prowlers will join the fight as it goes on. Kill
them all. At the top head left through the door to the upper area (this is
where the left ladders go to). The doors here are locked, so ignore them and
head through the archway ahead, going right.
You can replenish potions here. Head up above and kill the two lieutenants
and archers you find. Up ahead is the Highwayman Chief. He'll come at you on
the narrow battlement, meaning you can have your tank easily block him off
and lay down death on him. He is a two-handed warrior and functions just like
the brute enemies you've seen before. Be sure to loot him once you kill him
for the unique two-handed weapon [THE LAST STAND]. Once you kill him, go past
him to the flag pole and raise it for the Inquisition to complete the quest
"Capturing Caer Bronach". You will get 1934 Experience, 1600 Influence, and
+5 Power.
Note: Taking over the Fort also gives you the "Escape routes for agents in
Crestwood" War Table Operation and the quest "Rift at Caer Bronach".
While we are here, talk to the new castle care-taker, Charter, for the quest
"High Stakes". We can sell stuff and craft stuff here too. Nearby the craft
weapon station is a door. Inside of it is a [MOSIAC PIECE] you should definitely
nab now. There is also a ladder leading down to a small cave area. Head down
there and kill the spiders you find (including an elite spider named "Snowball")
to also acquire the [HEALING MIST GRENADE RECIPE] off of Snowball's corpse. Ah,
poor Snowball! This cave leads to a door by the lake, by the way. Good for some
sort of secret escape!
We should also explore the upper level of the keep while we are here. You can
find [HARD IN HIGHTOWN: CHAPTER FOUR] up on top level laying around. Varric
will be pleased! You can also talk to a guard by the flagpole for the "Weeding
Out Bandits" quest, which you may as well pick up. Lastly, there is a staircase
up to the spy room nearby you can unlock with a rogue. Do so and grab the [CAER
BRONACH] codex and the [A MAGISTER'S NEEDS] codex. You can even chastise the
spies for locking you out if you want! Ha!
With all that done let's focus on the task at hand. Head through the marked
door by the merchant to be led outside to the dam. At the end is a tavern you
will have to load into (this is so the game doesn't have to SHOW the lake going
down and can do it in the loading screen). Inside are some teenagers who we are
totally catching red-handed. Heh... head upstairs really quick and grab the
[THE FIRST BLIGHT: CHAPTER ONE] codex, and then go hit the dam controls for a
scene. Head outside when you are done.
The water has lowered. We can access a part of old Crestwood now (and you can
do the "Rift at Caer Bronach" quest easily now. Head back to see a dragon come
tease us with his presence. Soon, my lovely...
Explore Old Crestwood for the many chests and Bottles of Thedas you can find
(see our collection list). You can also get the "Burdens of Command" quest from
a Wraith here and find the Mayor's Old Home. North of all of that though you
can find the entrance to The Flooded Caves. That is our goal here. Take some
time to do the quest "Homecoming" and search for loot and bottles in the
flooded village though, by all means. Enter the caves when you are ready.
We're in a cave now, but there are lanterns EVERYWHERE. Behind the platform
you arrive on is a [CHEST]. Follow the path down lighting lanterns. At the
big open room and can move around the sides of the area to fight some corpses
in the back and find another [CHEST], then you must go down. At the bottom of
the wood walkway you can once again move around the side of the area (away from
the obvious tunnel) to find a third [CHEST]. Now, follow the tunnel to another
wide-open area.
Up ahead is a Despair Demon and some Corpses. Kill them all. Before you go down
the slope nearby, check out the tunnel on the right for a [CHEST] and a pile of
bodies you can examine. If you can't tell, people were LIVING here when the
flood came...
Take the slope down to the bottom area on the left. Down here look to the left
as you go to find a door a rogue can open. Inside is the [PARAGONS KNOWN AND
LESSER KNOWN] codex (great read!), and a [CHEST]. Up ahead is a Rage Demon you
can kill for the "Burden of Command" quest. Easy enough. He is a bit stronger
but not much...
Continue forward until you come to an area with a door, an open door to the
rift, and a smashable wall. Smash the wall and drop down to find [CHEST x2]
in a tomb-area, as well as a [MOSIAC PIECE], then climb back up.
Now, BEFORE you go tackle the rift, take the nearby door. This leads to a
VERY wide-open dwarven area. Explore it to find a [MOSIAC PIECE] near the
central throne area and a [CHEST] near an elven relic. Activate it and head
further in, checking near the doorways for another [CHEST]. This area further
in will lead to some nugs and, finally, to a ladder leading OUT of the Flooded
Caves. We want to explore this. Trust us! Go ahead and exit the caves.
Once you are out, climb the ladder and make your way to a door, where you can
find a [CHEST] and [MOSIAC PIECE] nearby. Hit the lever to open the door. This
leads to the cave on the northeast portion of the map. A shortcut! Y'know, in
case you ever want to visit some flooded caves... Go ahead and head back to
the doorway with the rift now.
Head inside and fight the rift. Unlike most rifts, this rift will have FOUR
phases before you can shut it. Still, the monsters here are weak. Wraiths
and Shades, Lesser Terrors and Rage Demons. All easy to kill, so go wild and
shut the rift when you can. Note that you can find the unique [AXE OF GREEN
EDGES] among the loot on the rift, as well as a [CHEST] in this room along the
walls.
We need to go tell the mayor what happened. Head back to Crestwood now (you
may as well turn in the "Burden of Command" quest while you are at it) and
you'll find the mayor is gone. He left a note though. Read it to add the
[LETTER OF CONFESSION] to the codex and add the "Find Crestwood Mayor"
operation to the War Table. And with that done, this quest is complete.
NOTE: The boarded-up house is not un-boarded. Be sure you visit it for the
[CHEST] inside but also loot that gives you an [AMULET OF POWER] for
the MAIN CHARACTER! What a reward!
Rift Near the North Gate
������������������������
Quest Giver: Scout Harding
Requirement: Travel to Crestwood
Reward: 512 Experience, 200 Influence, +2 Power
This rift is fairly close to your starting camp. We only have to destroy
the one rift, so this will be easy.
On your way up there, be sure you do the "A Change of Heart" quest above!
Another recruit / agent is always welcome! After that, there is little else
in your way!
Once you get to the rift, kill the Corpses and Arcane Horror that come out.
The second wave will feature a Rage Demon, Corpses and Wraiths. Kill them
all and shut the rift to complete the quest.
Rift at Caer Bronach
��������������������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: Take over Caer Bronach
Reward: 512 Experience, 200 Influence, +2 Power
After you lower the water for the "Still Waters" quest, we can access this.
Once you do that, you can find this rift in Old Crestwood. The rift WAS under
water, but we can reach it now. Once you get close, kill the Corpse Archers
and Wraiths you find, then wait for round two. Next up is a Rage Demon and
more Corpses and Wraiths. Slaughter them all to close the rift and complete
the quest.
Rifts at Three Trout Farm
�������������������������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: Find the Three Trout Farm Camp
Reward: 512 Experience, 200 Influence, +2 Power
Once you find the Three Trout Farm Camp to the east of Caer Bronach, you
will get this quest.
Two rifts, both to the south. One is near the camp, one is further south.
The rift near the camp is easy to get to. Head there and take out the Shades
and Corpses in the first wave and be ready for an Arcane Horror, Wraiths and
Corpses in the second.
The rift to the south is... very much down there. In fact, it is very likey
that you will encounter the dragon of this zone on your way down there, which
is good and we highly recommend fighting it! Check out our quest for him down
below (it is titled "Northern Hunter".).
Once you have access to the rift, head down there and fight the Shades that
show up. The hill is a good place for an archer and their height attack bonus.
The second wave will feature a Despair Demon and Wraiths. Take them all out
and shut the rift to complete the quest.
Holding Crestwood
�����������������
Quest Giver: Scout Harding
Requirement: Travel to Crestwood
Reward: 100 Influence, +1 Power
Only one camp! I know, right?! This is mainly due to the large landmarks in
the area. For example, from the starting camp, you can find the village of
Crestwood to the east. This has a fast travel point and (later) a shop, so
it is a good camp substitute!
Then, to the south, is Caer Bronach. This is a fort that we will take over
at some point during out stay here. Another camp replacement. Even better,
really, since you can craft and upgrade things here.
Once you are done taking over the fort, focus on the "Still Waters" quest.
It is all on the western side of the map and means we don't quite need this
extra camp yet. Once that is done, head to Caer Bronach and head east, aiming
for this camp. It isn't a terribly far ways away, and is easy to find. Once
you settle it (the "Three Trout Farm" camp), this quest will be complete.
The Naturalist
��������������
Quest Giver: Gauld
Requirement: None
Reward: "Wyrm Hole" quest.
After entering Crestwood, visit the first house on the left and talk to a
man named Gauld. He'll mention his friend, Judith, who refused to come to
town when the corpses started rising and wants someone to check on her (us).
This quest will have to wait a bit. We recommend you carry on and complete
the "Still Waters" quest first, and then at least the "Holding Crestwood"
quest so you can use the second camp out east, Three Trout Camp.
Once that is done, you can travel south from Three Trout Camp and find
Judith's house fairly easily (be sure to check out the first farm building
on the way for the [PLANTS VS. CORPSES] codex on the room and the familiar
scene in the garden. BK actually did a guide for Plants vs. Zombies! So good!).
Judith is alive and well in here home and as soon as you talk to her the
quest will be complete. Be sure to ask her about Wyverns in the area to get
the "Wyrm Hole" quest.
Homecoming
����������
Quest Giver: Sister Vaughn
Requirement: None
Reward: Experience, Influence, Power
You can find Sister Vaughn northeast of Crestwood. Go visit here after you
talk to the mayor and she'll mention the bodies in the lake. You will get
this quest afterwards.
You can do this quest once you have followed the quest "Still Waters" to the
point of draining the lake and uncovering old Crestwood. Once that has happened
go ahead and spend some time exploring it. To the north you will find the
"Mayor's House" landmark. We will base our body discovery from here.
NOTE: There are a LOT of chests and hidden items in old Crestwood. It would
be good to explore and find them while you are here.
On the northeast part of town, east of the Mayor's House, you can find the
first [BODIES 1/3]. They are in a house, with a chest.
Now, head south of the Mayor's House and enter the first house on your left
that is on the same elevation to find [BODIES 2/3].
Finally, west of the Mayor's House, in the house up the embankment, you can
find [BODIES 3/3].
Once you have them all, return to Sister Vaughn to complete the quest. You
can also talk to the Mayor about his house, but we can't seem to confront
him about why it was so empty or any of the notes we found in the village.
Capturing Caer Bronach
����������������������
Quest Giver: Exploration
Requirement: None
Reward: 1934 Experience, 1600 Influence, +5 Power
You get this quest while doing the quest "Still Waters". Well, more precisely,
you get this quest when you approach the Caer Bronach fort. A bit weird, but
there you go. This quest covers taking over the fort itself, and is covered
in our "Still Waters" quest (due to it being a necessity to complete the Still
Waters quest), meaning having it here is redundant.
Check the "Still Waters" quest if you want info on this quest.
High Stakes
�����������
Quest Giver: Charter
Requirement: Capture Caer Bronach
Reward: Unlock "Expose the Double Agent" operation.
Talk to Charter (the leader) after taking over Caer Bronach to learn that a
spy named Butcher hasn't reported in yet. This of course means we have a job
to do.
Before you do this, go get the camp out to the east. The Three Trout Camp
location. Good to have that. Now, from there to the southeast is the South
Road and a Highwayman Camp. Go find it and kill the bandits. Just north of
these bandits, near the rocky spire, is Butcher's corpse...
Read the letter he has on him and then kill the Venatori that attack. Seems
SOMEONE knew he was coming with valuable information. Go report this to Charter
to complete the quest and unlock the "Expose the Double Agent" operation at
the War Table.
Weeding Out Bandits
�������������������
Quest Giver: Soldier
Requirement: Capture Caer Bronach
Reward: 80 Influence
After taking over Caer Bronach, head to the flagpole again and talk to a
soldier there. They will tell you the remains of the Highwaymen are now
ambushing people on the roads, giving us this quest. Time to mop up!
Head east from Caer Bronach. you can find bandits just about anywhere out
here in the farmlands. They usually roam around in groups of two, but will
sometimes be in groups of three. They even have a camp near the lake to the
far east.
Once you kill eight bandits in total, this quest will be considered complete.
No talking to anyone required. There are more than eight bandits out here,
so you may wind up killing even more. No biggie!
Burdens of Command
������������������
Quest Giver: Wraith
Requirement: Drain lake to Old Crestwood
Reward: Experience, 200 Influence, +2 Power, Amulet of Power
This quest is gotten after you drain the lake near old Crestwood. Do so and
then while you are exploring the northern part you will run into a Wraith who
is NOT hostile! You can actually talk to it and agree to help it pass on by
following a command!
Ha! Thankfully the command is to kill a Rage Demon in the Flooded Caves
nearby. This coincides with the "Still Waters" quest though, and is done on
the way to do that quest, so just do it then. We cover this in our section
for "Still Waters".
Once you are done, return to the Wraith to report and help it move on.
Besides the power and influence rewards, it will also give you an [AMULET
OF POWER] that only COLE can use. Very nice! With that the quest is done.
Wyrm Hole
���������
Quest Giver: Judith
Requirement: Complete "The Naturalist"
Reward: 80 Influence, Warden Scout Armor Schematic
The Wyverns Judith is talking about are north of the Three Trout Camp. From
the camp head west a bit and then north up into the hills. You will find a
Venatori Camp that you should take out, as well as an Astrarium you should
solve. More on point though, there is a cave nearby that is the path we need.
While in the cave, be sure to ping your search bar for a hit as you go along.
You can find a [BOTTLE OF THEDAS] along the left-hand wall this way.
At the end, the cave opens up to a small shallow lake area that has THREE
Wyverns. Two small ones and one big one. They are level 15, and are elite
mobs. Focus on one at a time to reduce their numbers, use potions as you need
to, and try to debilitate them with freezing effects.
Once you slaughter them, return to Judith to let her know. You'll get an
influence bump but also the [WARDEN SCOUT ARMOR SCHEMATIC]. Very nice.
Northern Hunter
���������������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: None
Reward: See Loot table below.
NOTE: This is not a named quest in the game.
You can find the Northern Hunter south of the Three Trout Camp, past Judith's
house. He will be chilling near some castle ruins. You can fight him there and
he won't run away. It's also likely that you will encounter him on your way to
do the "Rifts at Three Trout Farm" quest. Either way, we're here for you.
Let's do this!
��������������������������������������������������������������������������������
BOSS: Northern Hunter Level 13
________________________________________________________________________________
Northern Hunter
Health: 108496
Defense: 41
Vulnerability: Spirit
Immunity: All Disabling Effects
Immunity: Slowed
Perceptive
Greater Electricity Resistance
Strategy
��������
The Northern Hunter is an Electricity-based dragon, and is weak to spirit
attacks. Neutral to cold and fire. Very good things for most mages.
This is a rather easy fight if you've done some of the Orlais exploration
content ahead of Crestwood, but as always you want to be at or near this
beast's levle to stand a chance. Full potion stock, etc.
The Northern Hunter has all of the normal Dragon-type moves. He'll rear his
legs up and swipe at you with them (hitting whoever is nearby), as well as
sweep his tail around. He is fond of jumping about to and fro and will very
likley destroy some of the walls near the castle ruins you fight him at. He
also whips his wings up and draws everyone in, just like all dragons do, which
is an annoyance for mages and other ranged characters but is actually beneficial
for warriors as they can attack during this time without worry.
In place of fire, the Northern Hunter uses electricty streams for his attack.
He will also shoot out electric balls. Finally, his only other note-worthy
attack is to charge the sky up with electricity. This makes everyone in your
party glow purple, and puts a ring around them. By itself this ring does
nothing, but if you get a party member inside that ring they will take shock
damage. And yes, it is cumulative, meaning everyone close together can kill
you all quickly.
Stay spread out during this fight, mostly due to the shock-ring move that
the Northern Hunter does (and ESPECIALLY stay spread out when he does that!).
Other than that, use your strongest attacks and lay into him. Take advantage
of his wing-flap move and his normal attacks with your allies spread out. You
can do some major damage during these times. The Norther Hunter does NOT fly
away and bombard you with electric balls during the fight, so keep at him and
he will soon fall. Enjoy your rewards down below!
Loot: 1,934 Experience, 1600 Influence, +4 Power, In Death, Sacrifice (Medium
Armor), Enhanced Guard Belt, Inquisitor Hat Schematic, Amulet of Power
(Iron Bull ONLY), Superb Ring of Life-Drain, Intense Dragon Blood x6,
Dragon's Tooth, Dragon Webbing x2, Dragon Scales x4, Dragon Bone

After you have completed all of the astrariums, a cave will open up near Craggy
Ridge Camp. Head inside and light the veil fire you find. Take it with you. At
the bottom of the cave you will find a chest with the unique [MASTERWORK
ENCHANTER MAIL], an elven rune to activate, and at the back wall with the veil
fire out the [MASTER FIRE RUNE SCHEMATIC]. Good stuff. Once you have the armor
this quest will be complete.

Rifts in the Canyon
�������������������
This quest is an excellent place to start in this area. Two rifts, both of
which are very close by, a good test to make sure you are READY to be in this
area.
Start with the south rift first. The first wave is level 11-ish Wraiths and
Shades. Pretty standard stuff. A Rage Demon comes out on the second wave, so
freeze and shatter him if you can and clean up. Potions are free as we pass the
camp to the next rift.
Up north is the second rift, in the middle of the sands. The first wave is
only two enemies, believe it or not. A Rage Demon and a Terror. Not a Lesser
Terror! Still, the operate the same way. The second wave will really introduce
you to them as there is a Rage Demons and THREE Terrors. Try to line them up
in an Earthshaking Strike or some other area of effect skill to thin them out
a bit, then disrupt the rift. Mop up from there and this quest will be done.
Rifts in Sand and Dust
����������������������
These rifts are based around the Craggy Ridge Camp site, which is on the
western side of the map. One is north of it and one is to the south.
To the south you have a fairly standard rift. Wraiths accompany one Rage
Demon and one Terror. Ice and Fire help out here. The second wave pits you
against one Rage Demon and three terrors, much like the Canyon rifts. With
the camp nearby, heal freely.
The rift to the north is a tad different, but not much. The first wave is the
same demons you are used to, but the second wave has two Rage Demons and two
Terrors, which balances things out a bit more. They are slow though, so get
those area effects down and take them out to complete this quest.
Rifts off the Pass
������������������
These rifts are to the southwest portion of the map, and this quest will
activate once you get to the area or start taking them out (the game is a
bit buggy about that!).
There are two rifts here, one in the north and one in the south.
The northern one is pretty easy. The first wave is a Terror and Rage Demon.
We've seen this before, The second wave is THREE Terrors and one Rage Demon,
which we've also seen before. Remember to get those Terrors lined up in fire
or area effects and try to stun the second wave.
The southern rift is a bit harder. It is past a wall. The first wave isn't
really tough: a Rage Demon and a Despair demon, with some Wraiths but the
second wave is rough. TWO Rage Demons, TWO Despair Demons and a handful of
Wraiths. The real challenge here is the Despair Demon. If you have a two
handed warrior, get Earthshaking Strike on one and try to keep them in it to
take them out fast. Thin out the Wraiths and then disrupt the rift and mop
up. With that you'll be done with this quest.
NOTE: You can find a hidden [GREY WHISKEY/RITEWINE/CONSCRIPTION ALE] codex
item up one of the wooden watchtowers. May as well grab it while you
are here.
Rifts in Echoback
�����������������
Once you get to the Echo Back Canyon camp you will get this quest.
Two rifts nearby we must close. Not a tall order! The one to the east has a
Despair Demon and a Greater Terror (they like to scream like the Envy Demon).
The second wave has two of each! Yikes. The Despair Demons are the most annoying
things, so take them out fast and hard if you can.
The rift to the south has a Rage Demon and some Terrors. Not too hard. The
second wave has three Terrors and a single Rage Demon, which we've seen a
couple of times by now. Take them all out and seal up the rift to finish this
quest (which is likely your last rift in the Western Approach... good job!).
Holding the Western Approach
����������������������������
This quest is going to take AWHILE to complete. Mainly because getting to the
fourth and final camp is just plain time consuming. Still, three camps to find
isn't too bad! Just don't prioritize this quest.
The first camp you'll get to is the Craggy Ridge Camp, which is to the east,
past the Silent Ruins. A good base of operations. Quests and/or exploring
will eventually lead you south, down to the Nazaire's Pass Camp. Our third
camp of the area.
After talking and working with the researcher down there, you will be able
to assault the keep up north. This isn't a "camp" really, as it doesn't count
towards this quest, but it is a gigantic base of operations that will greatly
benefit us. We'll need to do some operations to cross the poison pits and head
further north, which requires some power. You should also make sure you take
the fort and get the darkspawn quest before going north. May as well do what
you can in order...
While doing the quest "The Trouble with Darkspawn" you will end up heading
north and making your way to the fourth and final camp: Echo Back Canyon Camp.
Once you establish that camp, this quest will be done.
As you can see, it all ties into other quests, so don't go out scouting and
trying to set up bases ahead of time... at least not in The Western Approach.
The Venatori
������������
This quest starts out with a report in the camp, secured by our scouts. Go
read it to learn that there is some sort of mining operation going on nearby.
"Summoning?!"... Doesn't sound good!
To do this quest (which is, by the way, beyond easy), head south. A rift will
be in your way, so destroy it. You'll then come to an area with two mines.
The one to the south is the one we want. Head inside and read the book on the
table after you kill off the numerous spiders in the area. Looks like our
coming was known, and The Venatori have withdrew to Emprise Du Lion. This
completes this quest.
Luster Survey in the Approach
�����������������������������
This is a pretty standard "go out there and get stuff" quest. We'll need
Paragon's Luster (10 of it), which can be found just about anywhere. It is
in high supply if you search along the canyon ridges (it was also at the
Forbidden Oasis, if you've been there). The Lazurite is a bit harder, however
you can find plenty of it in the mines to the south (enough to fill this
order, if you get a good harvest drop).
Once you have the materials, turn them in to complete the quest. You will
also unlock the next one, "Lazurite Survey in the Approach".
Lazurite Survey in the Approach
�������������������������������
This quest is another standard "go get stuff" quest. Lazurite is the hard
ingredient here, yet again, but you only need 10 of it. It is found in the
caves and in the mountains in the southwest of the area (Shimmer Stone Mine).
Paragon's Luster is everywhere, which is good since they want 20 of it this
time. Yikes...
Once you have the materials, turn it in to complete the quest.
NOTE: This quest can be repeated, provided you have the resources. An easy
source of power. Given the amount of materials though, it isn't
advised unless you have nothing better to do.
Draconology
�����������
This quest can be obtained by killing and then looting White Claw Raiders.
They will have messages on their corpses that start this quest. You can often
find White Claw operatives to the north of the initial Lost Spring camp, after
you have cleared the rift out of course.
Frederic is an Orlesian Scholar who is out in this Maker-Forsaken place
studying Dragons. Lovely, right? You can find him near the Nazaire's Pass Camp,
which is in the southwest portion of the map. Once you find him, this quest
is considered complete.
NOTE: This quest has a tendency to be bugged. If you run across other items
that Frederic wants on your way to him (which is likely), there is a
chance you may not be able to complete this quest. This seems to pop up
if you are able to complete his other quests... so for those who can't
stand broken quest prompts, head to him straight-away while being as
much of a pacifist as you can!
Talking to Frederic leads to several other quests. See the below THREE quests
to keep up with the prolific dragon researcher.
Frederic's Livelihood
���������������������
White Claw Raiders have taken Frederic's supplies, leading to this quest.
You can find the Raiders randomly while running across this zone, but be
sure to loot them after you kill them to recover Frederic's supplies.
How to Lure a Dragon
��������������������
Frederic wishes to make dragon bait! Well, that sounds like a bad idea! But
we'll help him of course! To make his bait, we will require some monster guts!
Specifically, one Quillback Intestine and one Phoenix Tail Feather.
These items of course drop from their namesakes, who can be found out in the
sands. It isn't a guaranteed drop, but they are both very common. So common
that you may well have these items before you even meet Frederic (see our note
of warning in the "Draconology" quest).
Return to Frederic with the items to complete the quest. One step closer to
that dragon...
Hunting Patterns
����������������
This quest is given to you after meeting Frederic and doing the "How to Lure
a Dragon" quest. In it, we are asked to find signs of the dragon's hunting
pattern. Four of them, to be precise.
Every one of these hunting remains is to the north, and there are more than
four to choose from. Which ones you choose doesn't matter, as long as you
get to four of them. What we are looking for is corpses. Quillback Corpses.
They are torn up good. Most of them are out in the open, although some of
them are hidden near bushes and other minor obstacles. You can use your search
button to ping their exact location, which you'll have to do when you are near
them to get the "examine" prompt to show up.
Head north and examine four of these corpses to satisfy the quest requirements,
then head back and report to Frederic. This will unlock the "Sharper White
Claws" quest.
A Manuscript of Some Authority
������������������������������
Once you have the manuscript, deliver it to Frederic. He will be overjoyed,
but cannot read it. We'll offer the Inquisition's help though, which adds a
new objective to the War Table titled "Translate the Dragon Text". It costs
5 power, but is instant. Easily done!
Once you have completed that quest, you can return to Frederic and show him
the Manuscript.
Sharper White Claws
�������������������
So, the dragon will likely visit the Wastes next, huh? Frederic will notify
us that the White Claw raiders have been setting traps in the area and would
like us to destroy them.
You may have already seen them as you were running around. There are five in
total, and while the map area for this search is huge, they are all essentially
in the pillar area. This is still a big area though. Note that some are on the
outskirts of the pillar area (by the rocks), so do a few laps around the pillar
area and slowly circle your was inward to find them all. They look like bear
traps with rocks in the, and when you see them you will have the option to
destroy them manually.
Once you are done, a group of White Claw Raiders will show up to fight. The
first group is just a couple bowmen and an escort, but soon their leader will
join as well, a "White Claw Poacher Leader". Quite the name. He is an elite
enemy, so he has more health than the rest of these scrubs and can't be put to
sleep or made afraid. He can be taunted though, so have your tank take him
and wear him down. He is a rogue / dual-wield class, so prepare to wait for
him to come out of stealth at times. Still, not too hard.
The Abyssal High Dragon
�����������������������
BEFORE you go set the bait for this quest, note that you will be FIGHTING A
FRICKIN' DRAGON at the end... so preparation is VERY important. We recommend
reading the boss portion ahead to get ready for this very tough fight.
Frederic is ready to lure the dragon out! To do so, you need to go around
the Waste area and put the bait in the traps. This is pretty much you revisiting
all of the traps in the previous quest and baiting them. Once they are all
baited the fight will commence (after the dragon takes a few laps that is!).

Oh man...
As a special note, this should NOT be your first dragon fight. The dragon
in the Hinterlands is a lower level and easier, so go face him down if you
haven't yet.
Are you ready for this? I sure hope so! The key to this fight, as I mentioned
earlier, is PREPARATION! Cold vulnerability is the key here, so it's an
excellent idea to have a mage equipped with an ice-element staff and even
some ice skills (although that is less important). Having some spirit magic
is great as well, as Barrier is absolutely indispensable. Having a reliable
tank is also a MUST, as they can capture the attention of the dragon and keep
it. Vanguard and some shield skills are fantastic. Blackwell is an excellent
choice with his advanced defensive options as a Champion (if you have the
levels and abilities that is). Also be sure to equip any fire-resistance items
you may have as well as stock your potions up!
As far as your main character goes, ranged and mage players will have an easier
time than warriors, just due to the proximity required to attack the dragon.
Unfortunately for Bkstunt (who is writing this...), he is playing a two-handed
warrior. This means even more preparation is necessary. For this fight, my
warrior character brought two mages and a tank. Blackwell held the Dragon's
attention throughout the fight, but the mages were the main reason he (and
everyone else) was kept upright. They both had ice staves as well as barrier
magic (one even had the revival skill in the Spirit Magic tree). Be sure to
set your tactics to have Barrier preferred. It will save your life.
Warriors are forced to attack the dragon head-on, so they must be extra
careful. Let's go over the dragon's attacks. First up, he will use his arms
and/or legs to attack in a sweeping motion if his target is near them. These
are wide sweeps and can hit multiple characters if they are close enough (one
reason ranged characters have it easy). The dragon can also sweep its tail
around in an even bigger range. All that being said, if you can position
yourself away from where he is aiming (opposite legs / opposite end of the
body) you will be safe and can keep on hurting him.
The dragon will move around quite a bit during the fight, destroying pillars
and re-positioning himself. When he does this you will likely see his fire
based attacks. He will either shoot a fireball at his main target (meaning
warrior DO NOT run in at him with your tank!) or he will spit out a stream
of fire and move it back and forth. These both hurt of course and will set you
on fire as well. Ouch!
His last moves are a real pain. At times he will stop and flap his wings up,
causing a whirlwind that draws the party in. The wind is what will hurt you
here: you can actually stand near him and be OK. Warriors have it easy here
as they can attack uninterrupted. This is a fantastic time to use a skill
like Whirlwind. You can use it non-stop and really rack up damage. Another
special warrior tip: if you are getting sucked into the wind, you can use
Earthshaking Strike to get by the wind without taking any damage (although
the move does NOTHING to the fire-resistant dragon).
The very last move is the worst. The High Abyssal Dragon (notice how formal
we are getting up in here!) will use GUARD, granting itself several thousand
HP worth of armor. It will do this multiple times throughout the fight and
make you eat through it to hurt it again.
Keep your barriers up, have your tank on point and use your regen potions
when you can get away with it. Always be ready to revive, especially your
mages. Keep at this beast and don't let up and you'll be victorious.
Loot: Nameless Blade, Amulet of Power (SOLAS ONLY), Superb Ring of Armor
Penetration, various rare loot and crafting material.
________________________________________________________________________________
The quest isn't officially done yet. After all, we need to report back to
Frederic! He will be pleased regardless of the dead dragon, and will even
offer to join the Inquisition! Say yes to get [AGENT: FREDERIC]! A job
well done!
A Tevinter Relic Hunt
���������������������
To the west (norhtwest) of the initial Lost Springs camp is the Still Ruins.
A very picturesque place, but polluted with Venatori agents. They have put up
a magical barrier blocking access to the ruins.
Kill the agents out front (watch out for ice runes / mines from their
spellweavers!) and then take out the magical barrier with your mage. Kill the
agents you find beyond the barrier and then loot the nearby [CHEST x2] in the
corners of this place and read the notes. You will have this quest show up in
your list at this time. What could they be looking for in the ruins? Only one
way to find out!
After entering the ruins you can go down a flight of stairs and find a [CHEST]
to the right. Go kill the Venatori and search the left wall of this lower area
for another [CHEST]. Now, go check out the rift that is... frozen? This is very
peculiar. It starts the "A Strange Rift in the Ruins" quest, in fact. SOMEONE
has to disable this time magic...
Up the stairs to the right is another [CHEST]. You can also find a [CHEST] by
going up the left path and doubling back to the third story. Now, in the back
is an open doorway. There is a locked door to the right that unless you have
the correct Inquisition Perk (deft hands) you won't be able to open.
Head through the doorway and hand a left. Search by the door for a [CHEST],
then continue on to an open chamber. Quite impressive! Now, up above is some
more enemies, but one of them is an elite. Not quite a "boss", but a hardened
soldier named Lucanus. Head down and beat them all up. Keep Lucanus ties up
with stuns and other debilitating effects to take him out quickly (Mighty Blow
is so powerful). Once he is dead, loot him to discover a Keystone (1/5). This
completes our quest but also starts a new quest called "The Heart of the Still
Ruins". Let's move onto it now!
The Heart of the Still Ruins
����������������������������
One keystone down, four to go. Thankfully, all four Keystones are close by, in
the four corners of this area. To the upper left and right are Keystone (2/5)
and Keystone (3/5). To the lower left and right (up the stairs) are two rooms,
each with a keystone for Keystone (4/5) and Keystone (5/5). There are also some
notes to read and a [CHEST]. One of the rooms even lets you energize Veilfire,
so have a mage do so and take it along with you (or have an ally take it along,
which is less work on you).
Once you have all the keystones, approach the central sealed chamber. It will
now open up, finishing this quest. Loot the [CHEST x2] in the room and then
move BEYOND the staff. The far wall has a hidden [SPIRIT RUNE SCHEMATIC] that
you can see with the veil-fire. Read the note nearby for some insight and then
take the staff.
We will continue this area and it's remaining quest in the section down below
("A Strange Rift in the Ruins"), as you can imagine what happens once you take
the staff...
This staff is also a named unique piece, called [TEMPEST]. Enjoy it. Now, onto
that rift...
A Strange Rift in the Ruins
���������������������������
Well, time has resumed. Wonderful. Time to fight our way back to the entrance.
You will encounter Shades, Lesser Terrors and Wraiths on your journey back. Be
sure to clear the rooms out as well on your way to the rift...
Back at the entrance you'll be pitted against the rift right away. This first
wave has a Greater Terror (a stronger version of what you are used to) and a
Despair demon. Use the stairs nearby as a choke-point for the Greater Terror
and take him out, then focus on the Wraiths and Despair Demon. You can hang
back and disrupt them easily while your allies move in.
The second wave is less stressful with merely a handful of Wraiths and a
single Despair Demon. Take them out and seal the rift for a whopping +400
Influence. Very nice! Don't forget to activate the Elven Artifact on your
way out, located just past the rift towards the exit. With that done, our
business in the ruins is complete.
On the Chantry Trail
��������������������
You can start (find) this quest to the west of the Silent Ruins. Head out
that way and examine the rock nearby, where the "New Quest" marker is. This
nets you the [OLD CHANTRY TRAIL SIGNS] codex unlock and starts the quest.
We will need to follow the markers. Head north to the first one. You will
see a dragon on your way, but he flies off. Still, good to know Harding isn't
crazy. Near the marker up north is "Death Drink Springs". Plant a marker here
to unlock an operation for the War Room (the air is poisonous, and we can't
continue). Thankfully, the marker for this quest is just shy of the poison air,
so examine it and you'll see the next marker is off to the south.
Make your way south to the objective (there's a lot of open area here) and
once you reach the third marker it will point you south again. This fourth
marker is near Nazire's Pass Camp. Head there, get the marker, and head south
a short way to a fifth marker (very short). This leads to the sixth marker...
shoot, this trail is a long one.
The sixth marker is south / slightly southwest. Head over to it to have it
point you to the FINAL marker in the south. Head there to find a small camp
and a cave. Nab the [CHEST] nearby, read the disturbing note, and then use
one of your mage characters to break down the barrier.
Technically this is the end of the quest. So you know, down in the cave you
can find [CHEST x2] as well as some reading material, including a codex that
is titled [THE CREATION OF A PHLACTERY]. There is also a [THE ARCHDEMON MOSIAC]
piece nearby. Gather everything up and tackle another quest.
Assault on Griffon Wing Keep
����������������������������
You can get this quest after you find the Nazaire's Pass Camp. Just south
of there is a researcher. Talk to him and ask him about this area and himself.
Explore all of the "?" dialog, and he will mention the Venatori have taken a
keep nearby. That will spawn this quest.
The keep in question is far to the north. Capturing it isn't too hard, truth
be told. It's crazy to think you can take a keep with a party of four, but
that is what we are about to do!
Approach from the northeast side of the keep and kill the Venatori guard.
These are regular gladiators, marksmen and other foes you've been fighting
out in the sands. There is a door nearby that you can break down to get into
the keep proper. You can search around if you wish, although there is plenty
of time to do that once the keep is yours (for the record, there is an Elven
Relic nearby up the right stairs, a [CHEST] nearby as well, and up the ladder
leading to the battlements [CHEST x2] on either end of the walkway).
Continue up the central steps (there is a [CHEST] to the left) and kill the
foes here. Watch out for archers up high and any mages that might be around.
Press on to the left (your AI companions will likely automatically go, so you
should be aware) and clear out the enemies here. Once all the enemies out in
this second area are dead, the gate nearby will raise up, allowing you access
to the roof (WHY would they let these guys go further!?).
Up on the roof are two soldiers, two marksman and an ELITE mob named Macrinus.
While he is just shy of a proper boss, Macrinus is deadly. He is an elite fire
mage, and will zip around when cornered, lay down multiple mines at a time
and is quite powerful. Take out his assistants first and then close in on
him. Knock him down and combo him if you can, and be especially careful of his
mines. Note that once he is dead you can loot him for the unique [COWL OF THE
OVERSEER] and an [AMULET OF POWER] (Dorian ONLY).
Use the flagpole nearby to claim the keep for the Inquisition, and turn this
place into a stronghold.
Note that once you do claim the place, you can treat it as a base of operations
for the area. Seriously, you can craft armor, weapons, upgrade potions... the
place will treat you well.
In addition, be sure to check out the nearby Astrarium and talk to the Knight
Commander for the "This Water Tastes Funny" and "The Trouble with Darkspawn"
quests.
NOTE: You may be wondering about the Landmark nearby. This is obtained by
approaching the keep from the south and going to the old well cave
(use fire on the barrier). The landmark is "The Old Well".
This Water Tastes Funny
�����������������������
You can get this quest from the Knight-Commander after taking the Griffon Wing
Keep. May as well help out!
This quest is actually really easy. It literally consists of going to the
oasis and killing a single monster. A Varghest, to be exact. The oasis is
down to the south / southeast, so head down there and take this petty monster
out to finish this quest.
The Trouble with Darkspawn
��������������������������
You can get this quest from the Knight-Commander after taking the Griffon Wing
Keep. We need to stop the Darkspawn from showing up.
The quest objective for this is to the north, however another poisonous gas
area blocks our passage! This means it is time for another War Room Operation!
Go inspect the problem to have the "Find the Source of Darkspawn" operation
added to the War Room. It will cost 5 Power to accomplish, but takes up NO
time. Like the other poisonous area, this will build a bridge to the north for
us.
Once you can cross, do so. Hit up the shard viewer if you wish and continue
north. You will fight your way through plenty of Ghouls and Hyenas to the old
Prison Ruins. Plenty of darkspawn up here. Climb up to the top, kill whoever
awaits you, and note the Astrarium. We will now have to enter a dungeon up
here to find where the Darkspawn are coming from, so inspect the nearby hole
in the structure and enter Coracavus. For the record, this gives you the
[CORACAVUS] codex entry.
"North Prisoner Entrance"
Lovely. Makes you wonder if there is an access to the Deep Roads down here.
Loot the [CHEST] and push inward, killing the enemies around the corner.
Head back and go down to the cell area. Down here is a dead-end, but there
are enemies to kill and loot to be had! Particularly, [CHEST x3] and even some
[CORPSES x3]. Just search around. Note the corpse in the room across from the
stairs though. Of important note down here is the [THE SECRET TONGUE OF SLAVES]
codex entry from a scroll in one of the cells. There is also some veil fire
down here. Light it up and go into the cell room across from the initial stairs
to find the [MASTER SPIRIT RUNE].
Head back up to the hallway now and continue. There is a ghoul in the hallway,
but past him you'll find a real group of darkspawn and a giant hole in the
wall! Well then!
Look around for the Vandal Aria shrub (we normally don't list crafting
items, but this stuff only shows up here in this zone) and then use one of
your mages to energize the hole and seal it up. That should cut off the
darkspawn for awhile, but the quest isn't over yet as we are tasked to find
the people who were responsible in the first place.
Nab the [CHEST] that was behind the gate and continue to the left. In the
next big room is more aria. Nab it and check the area to the left for some
notes and [CHEST x3]. One of the notes unlocks the [A MISSING SLAVE] codex.
Head over the bridge and take on the Hurlock Alpha and his band (the archers
by the railing are grouped close together). Once they are dead, loot the
[CHEST x2] here. The door here requires the "Deft Hands" Inquisition Perk to
open. Open it if you can and continue down the slope by the bridge.
Kill the enemies you encounter and examine the corpse at the end of the path.
We will get a key from him, along with a note. This Servis character that has
been doing everything behind the scenes is now our target. Heh. About damn
time.
Open the nearby door and... well, that's what was causing the shaking! A
level 14 Elite Giant will be facing us now. If you faced the giant at the
Storm Coast, you know what to expect here: lots of wide swings and jumping
around. Ranged characters will have an easy time of it, but warriors should
be careful of the sweeping attacks. Gang up on the thing and it will fall
soon.
This area has [CHEST x3] in it around the walls, so take a quick lap and
round them up. There is also a note in the middle of the area by a corpse
that gives some more Servis info. Follow the marker now to get back to the
Western Approach proper.
We are still on Servis' tail, so we'll keep this quest up. Found the "Echo
Back Canyon Camp" (which likely completes your "Holding the Western Approach"
questline) and heal up. Right outside is another giant. Have fun with him and
go heavy on potions if needed: the camp is right behind us. He fights just like
the last giant, but also has a tendency to throw boulders at you.
Servis is in a fort to the southeast, but to get there we must circle around
it and enter from the northeast! Here you will face a Brute down below and
Servis himself is up above with some archers. Ignore the Brute and head up to
Servis. With some speed you can knock him down right away and start wailing on
him. Never even give him a chance to fight if you can help it. You can have
your tank block off the stairs and let everyone else wail on him for an easy
victory. Servis is only an elite monster surprisingly, much like Macrinus.
Even more surprising is the fact that we DO NOT kill Servis right away.
Instead, we have the chance to talk to him and judge him at Skyhold (which
we recommend doing).
With that the quest is complete.
NOTE: There are [CHEST x3] on the ramparts and down below as well as an
[ARCHDEMON MOSIAC] piece nearby. Be sure to grab them all! You can also
find a cave nearby that leads up to an astrarium. Before you go up it,
light the nearby veil fire to see the [MASTER FROST RUNE SCHEMATIC]
inside the cave!

The Exalted Plains are rich with conflict from the Orlesian Civil War. These
lands, called "Dirthavaren" by the elves, were once host to the final battle of
the elves from the Dales and the land reeks of it. This is area is fairly
massive and while some places seem quaint, others are ravaged and have demonic
presence. There is an underground temple in this area though it requires some
work to reach it.

Lore Requisition on the Plains
������������������������������
Quest Giver: Requisition Officer
Requirement: Be in The Exalted Plains
Reward:
For this quest we are tasked with collecting 3 Ancient Writings and 5 Orlesian
Tomes. Apparently we are historians now (better than resource gathering!). The
tomes can be found on the corpses of Freeman enemies. The writings can be found
on Vinatori enemies, but are far rarer. Still, by doing the quests down below
you will find them all in time.
NOTE: This quest is buggy, and will likely reset on you if you don't hand in
the exact number of requested items. This includes no reward...

Undead Ramparts to the West
���������������������������
Quest Giver: War Table
Requirement: Enter the Exalted Plains
Reward: 80 Influence
This is our "primary quest" in this area. Sounds like something is going down
to the west. Head out that way (claim the three landmarks close by) and kill
the enemies you encounter (likely Freemen and even some demons... who aren't
near a rift). Note the broken cart, the note, and all the fish as well! Ha!
Just to the west is the Western Ramparts. You can find one of the imperial
soldiers fighting a corpse here. Take out the corpse and you'll finish this
quest.
Lay Rest the Western Ramparts
�����������������������������
Quest Giver: Corporal Rosselin
Requirement: Finish "Undead Ramparts to the West", talk to the Corporal.
Reward: 200 Influence, +2 Power
Rosselin has an idea of where the undead are coming from. Piles of bodies
in pits, to the north and south. We'll have to burn them!
Head into the ramparts and take out the undead as you go. You will soon come
to a path split. Head left first and you'll face an Arcane Horror. These things
are somewhat similar to Despair Demons and are essentially the "Guardians" of
these pits. They have a fire weakness and can teleport around, making them
very annoying. All this is done while corpses attack, so try and focus on the
horror, then clean up the scrubs.
Nearby is the pit, which has a magical enchantment over it. Have your mage
destroy it and then burn the bodies. One more pit left. Head back to the path
split and go forward this time for another pitched battle with corpses and an
Arcane Horror. Take them out like before, break the magical barrier and burn
the bodies.
Return to the path split again and sound the horn there. This prompts the
soldiers to return to the ramparts, which are now full of people. Head back
and report to Corporal Rosselin to finish the quest. You'll start the next
quest in the chain after that.
Another Side, Another Story
���������������������������
Quest Giver: Corporal Rosselin
Requirement: Finish "Lay Rest the Western Ramparts", talk to the Corporal.
Reward: 200 Influence, +3 Power
We're off to go talk to the Marshal at Fort Revasan, which is to the north
quite a ways. A good little explorative journey. On your way you'll head
through some valleys and eventually see s checkpoint where you'll help some
soldiers fight off Freemen. Note that there is a Freemen base nearby to th
west (it has some pillars by it), do NOT go in there quite yet. Trust us!
Continue north from that checkpoint and you'll have to fight off some
demons with more soldiers in front of the fort proper. Fight them off and
enter the fort. Just entering the fort gives you some influence and power.
Here talk to the Marshal and here his woes. Let him know you cleared the
Western Ramparts of the dead. You will get some new quests here, including:
"Lay Rest the Eastern Ramparts", "Calming Victory Rise" and "No Word Back".
You can also claim a landmark here and talk to a Sergeant Meursault nearby
for the "Left to Grieve" quest.
We have our work cut out for us!
NOTE: There are two locked doors to the north that require the "Deft Hands"
Inquisition upgrade to open. The right one has [CHEST x2] in it and the
left one has [CHEST x2] as well, but one has the [SUPERB BELT OF
STAGGERING] in it.
Lay Rest the Eastern Ramparts
�����������������������������
Quest Giver: Marshal Proulx
Requirement: Find and talk to Marshal Proulx at Fort Revasan, complete
"Another Side, Another Story".
Reward: 512 Experience, 400 Influence, +4 Power
This quest isn't quite like the Western One (That is more of the "Calming
Victory Rise" quest), but instead we'll be storming the Freeman outpost just
south of Fort Revasan. Everything in here is level 15 by the way, just so
you know. These guys are slightly tougher than previous Freeman enemies.
The front of the fort has some snipers on the battlements and some guards out
front. Take them all out (pulling a sniper down with a chain is a blast). You
can use the narrow area here if you wish, but its better to rush in and climb
up to the snipers.
Continue on through some doors and take out another group of soldiers. This
place really is a mess! The guards are the biggest pain, but Mighty Blow takes
them out pretty fast (alone with area damage). Continue on to the objective
using the narrow pathway on the left to come to the body pit. It is guarded
by a boss though!
��������������������������������������������������������������������������������
BOSS: Gordian Level 15
________________________________________________________________________________
Gordian
Health: 46488
Defense: 0
Cold Resistant
Immunity: Frozen
Strategy
��������
Hey, Bioware calls this guy a boss! Not us. He's more of an... elite soldier,
but he can kill you if you aren't careful! Gordian is an ice mage, and as such
his biggest, most dangerous ability is his ice mines. They are DANGEROUS, and
can easily kill multiple people if they are caught in them. For this reason you
should NOT have too many melee attacks fight near him, as he can lay them at
his feet and wreck you if you do that.
Aside from that, Gordian isn't too much of a threat. You can slow him, knock
him down, burn him... he'll go down fairly fast with the right combos. Beware
his ice mines and his barriers, as well as his teleportation at times, and
you'll have free access to the body pit before you know it.
________________________________________________________________________________
Despite not giving us any loot, you can go up the tower nearby and at the
top you'll find a [LEGEND OF THE THREE SISTERS: BOOK 3] codex entry, a pole
for the [CHANTRY BANNER] item, and a [CHEST].
Go back down and burn the body pit once your mage gives you access to it for
a 200 Influence, +2 Power reward. We now need to blow on the horn nearby for
another 200 Influence, +2 Power reward. Kind-of weird, but we'll take it! Like
the Western Ramparts, soldiers will come claim this area once you blow the
horn. Easy stuff.
Calming Victory Rise
��������������������
Quest Giver: Marshal Proulx
Requirement: Find and talk to Marshal Proulx at Fort Revasan, complete
"Another Side, Another Story".
Reward: 200 Influence, +2 Power
This quest is much like our fight at the Western Ramparts: two body pits
need to be burned. Each is guarded by an Arcane Horror. There are more corpses
to fight here than down south, but we like it that way! Visit each in turn,
kill the defenders, use your mage to take down the barrier and then light
the body pits.
Once you are done you'll have to use the horn to signal the place is once
again safe. Like before, soldiers will now move in and occupy the place once
you have finished.
NOTE: A special note here. There is a storeroom located on the northern side
of these ramparts. It has a huge door underneath the fortifications, so
it easy to spot. Inside are documents that unlock some codex entries,
which include [LEGEND OF THE THREE SISTERS: BOOK I], [THE SOUL CANTO]
and the [MAP OF ENAVURLS]. That last one is also a quest of the same
name. Be sure to nab them all.
No Word Back
������������
Quest Giver: Marshal Proulx
Requirement: Find and talk to Marshal Proulx at Fort Revasan, complete
"Another Side, Another Story".
Reward: Experience, 80 Influence
All contact has been lost with the River Garrison, to the north. We have to go
see what's up. Naturally. The garrison is actually a very large building that
would make a fantastic base of operations.
Head up there and enter from the southwest side (not much of a choice). Help
the soldiers you encounter kill the demons. Turns out THAT is why they haven't
been in communication...
What we need to do here is go to the bottom of the garrison where you will
find a crypt and a RIFT. Oh wow... take out the rift (which counts towards
the "Rifts on the Battlefield" quest) and then search to the north down here
for a [BOTTLES OF THEDAS]. Very nice.
Head back up the ladder and blow on the war horn to hand back control to the
soldiers. You will also get this garrison as a fast travel spot on the map
now. Too bad there isn't a fricking shop...
Left to Grieve
��������������
Quest Giver: Sergeant Meursault
Requirement: Find and talk to her at Fort Revasan
Reward: Experience, 80 Influence
Sergeant Meursault wishes us to find letters of fallen soldiers, so we can
send them on to their families. Awfully nice of her.
In total we have to find SEVEN letters. No small task. It is recommended you
do the "Calming Victory Rise" and "Lay Rest the Eastern Ramparts" quests before
you tackle this, just to make things go smoother.
Since there are so many, give some guide writers a break and humor us as we
number them for you. From the map there are three "northern" markers which we
will call letters 1-3 (left to right), a central marker due west of Fort Revasan
which will be letter 4, and then three letters to the south, which we'll call
letter 5 (the northwest one), letter 6 (the northeast one) and letter 7 (the
one furthest to the south).
Letter 1:
The unfortunate bearer of this letter is just to the northeast of the
Riverwatch Camp. Just off the road you can find a cart and animal that were
slaughtered. UNDERNEATH the animal is the soldier, who has the letter on
him. Your party may even comment on how he died...
Letter 2:
This letter is found inside the Eastern Ramparts. On the northern side there
is a tower and an Ocularum. Just to the south of that Ocularum is a charred
corpse. Examine it to find this letter.
Letter 3:
To the northeast of Fort Revasan, along the roads, is another destroyed cart.
These soldiers really like to die by carts it seems. The cart is off of the
main road. Examine the corpse to find the letter.
Letter 4:
You can find this letter to the west of the "Eastern Ramparts". It is near a
dead body, by a cart. Some of your inquisition troops may be nearby, just to
the north.
Letter 5:
Head to the Western Ramparts and in the big central area with the two giant
arrow launchers, find the stairs to the south. This letter is on the left
side of those stairs.
Letter 6:
This one is south of the "Andruil's Messenger" landmark, on the road that
leads up to Fort Revasan. Along the way look for a group of corpses near
some sandbags. The letter is nearby, on a barrel.
Letter 7:
This one is a note in the Western Ramparts. It is located by the highest
trebuchet, near a [CHEST].

������������������������
Quest Giver: Dead Body
Requirement: None
Reward: 242 Experience, 80 Influence, 207 Gold, Masterwork Scour Armor
Southwest of Fort Revasan, you will find an exclamation mark begging your
attention. The mark is showing you to a corpse in the area, near a rocky
dead-end. Examine the corpse to get the sketch and this quest.
To find the hidden location, head to the "Ancient Baths" location, which
is of course southwest of the Dalish Camp. From there, head south to the
river outlet and then start following the coast east. Ping your search along
the way and you'll run into it. It is a patch of sand at the river's edge.
Map of Enavuris
���������������
Quest Giver: Note in the storeroom at Victory Rise.
Requirement: None
Reward: 242 Experience, 80 Influence, 247 Gold, Cleave
You can find this quest / map while doing the quest "Calming Victory Rise"
fairly easily. After you take out the body pits, stop by the storeroom on
the northern side of the area (easily seen by its big doors under the main
fortifications) and search everything inside to find this map and this
quest.
The ruins to the southwest of Victory Rise have the windows from the map
(these are the same ruins with the veil fire lanterns in them that gave us
one of the elven glyphs from the "Scattered Glyphs" quest). Head over there
and look through the window, then head north to the nearby rock formation.
Ping around here with your search to find the hidden loot on top of the rock
formation (and easy to get to as well!).
Map of Halin'sulahn
�������������������
Quest Giver: Note in the small camp in the northeast part of The Crow Fens
Requirement: None
Reward: 242 Experience, 80 Influence, 213 Gold, Masterwork Firm Bianca Grip,
Fire Rune
After you fight the Stormrider (or before, if you are doing a hit and run...
but seriously, fight the Stormrider!) look for a small camp to the east /
northeast. Not only does it have a great note in it, it has this map as well.
Looking at it will give you this quest.
To find this stash, head to the Dalish Camp and take the river east. Head
to the waterfall and take the south side up. You'll find a letter here to
a lover, along with a [CHEST], but to get to the stash head up the rocks and
get to the top. Use your search ping to find the patch of sand up here with
the stash items up above.
Holding the Exalted Plains
��������������������������
Quest Giver: Scout Harding
Requirement: Enter the Exalted Plains
Reward: 512 Experience, 100 Influence, +1 Power (Per Camp)
This quest will actually take some time. Mostly because one of the camps
(the northeast one) is locked behind a War Table operation. No matter though.
Once you do start to quest to the north, you will unlock the Riverwatch camp
on the west side of the map.
The last camp is northwest of Fort Revasan. Head along the road and try to
go to it. You'll encounter a collapsed tunnel, but can start a War Table
operation to clear the path to Ghilan'nain's Grove. That quest also includes
a fight with a bunch of pissed-off Gurgut creatures, but once you slay them
all you can set up the Fens Camp and be done with this quest.
Rifts in the Old Plains
�����������������������
Quest Giver: War Table
Requirement: Enter the Exalted Plains
Reward: 512 Experience, 200 Influence, 2 Power (PER Rift)
This is a pretty big quest for rifts... FOUR in total they are giving us for
this quest. That's cool though, the rewards are pretty good.
The rifts here are split up pretty good. The closest one is to the east, in
the forest area. It's pretty easy and doesn't really contain any surprises.
The first wave is a Rage Demon with some Wraiths while the second wave is the
same thing but adds in some corpses. Yes, we are fighting corpses in these
rifts now apparently.
There is a lot of quests and exploring you can do between that rift and the
others, especially since the Dalish Camp is to the south (and they have a LOT
of quests). But the southern rift has more of the same: Rage Demons and Wraiths.
They add in two Shades in the second wave to mix things up.
The western rift is exactly the same as the southern one. No mixing things up
this time. Rage Demons, Wraiths and Shades. This is the rift you should do when
you are out there for the Elven Glyphs quest.
Finally we have the northern rift, which is honestly the hardest one of the
four. Why? Well, it starts off pretty easy with corpses and terrors, but the
second wave adds in some rough stuff! An Arcane Horror AND a Revenant both make
an appearance here. You've likely fought the Revenant before (from The Fallow
Mire), but you may be new to the Arcane Horror. They are very similar to the
Despair Demon with their vulnerability, but have a tendency to teleport away
when they are in danger, making you track them down again.
Take out every rift here and seal them for good to complete this quest and
make the plains a much safer place.
Rifts on the Battlefield
������������������������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: Complete "Calming Victory Rise", "Lay Rest the Eastern Ramparts".
Reward: 512 Experience, 200 Influence, 2 Power (PER Rift, some are 967 XP)
Four more rifts to take out. Go figure, right.
Most of these are in the north, but one is in the south, southwest of Fort
Revasan. It has Shades for the first wave and Shades and a Rage Demon for
the second wave. Pretty easy stuff, honestly.
Now, onto the northern ones. The closest one is in the village (the destroyed
village) of Ville Motevelan. Get past the rubble and take the demons on! The
first wave is a Rage and Despair demon. Not too bad. The second wave is a bit
tougher with TWO Despair Demons (I hate how they move around!) and a Revenant.
Take them all out to close the rift. There are a LOT of landmarks here so get
them all. Also, check in the ruined yellow house for a hidden [BOTTLE OF THEDAS]
while you are here. May as well! Also note that this rift gives you more
experience than normal. We'll take it!
The third rift is actually part of a quest called "No Word Back". It is mainly
Corpses (archers, mostly), Wraiths and an Arcane Horror. Not too bad. Defeat
both waves and secure the garrison afterwards. There is another [BOTTLE OF
THEDAS] down here you should nab once it is safe.
The final rift is to the northwest of the garrison, out on the riverbank. It
is a bit harder than the last one, and features a Greater Terror/Despair duo to
start with and then THREE Despair Demons and a Revenant. Yikes. After taking
them out, check the tent to the north for the unique [FARSLAYER] bow. Note that
this rift is the other one that gives you increased experience.
And with it gone, you've saved the plains from the rift menace. Good job!
Rifts in the Fens
�����������������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: Complete "Ghilan'nain's Grove", set up Fens Camp.
Reward: 967 Experience, 200 Influence, +2 Power (Per Rift)
Three more rifts to test us. These are the last ones, I swear!
The southern rift is fairly weak. Wraiths. Tons of them. Both waves. That's
it! Seems impressively mild for this much experience...
The two northern rifts are a bit better, with Despair Demons and Rage Demons
thrown in. Both of them are really nothing you haven't see before, but before
you take them on make sure you kill any of the roaming Gurgut in the area. We
don't need them joining the fun.
Slaughter these remaining demons and seal up the rifts. Don't go too far east
when you are fighting the northern rift, either. Hehe....
A Father's Guidance
�������������������
Quest Giver: Note in abandoned house.
Requirement: Search the house just to the west of the Western Ramparts, and
read the note left on the table.
Reward: Gold, Fire Agate x3, 80 Influence
A sad quest. You get this by reading a note in the abandoned (destroyed) house
to the west of the Western Ramparts. A father has left items behind... but
they are not likely needed anymore. We are then tasked with finding them.
To the northwest, out in the open plains is where the tree in question is.
It is the tree that is growing sideways out of the ground. Near the base is
a box that you can loot with some gold and fire agate x3 in it. Once you
retrieve the items, the quest is complete.
A Dalish Perspective
��������������������
Quest Giver: Olafin
Requirement: Find Olafin to the southwest of the Western Rampart, talk to
him.
Reward: 80 Influence
You can find Olafin off in a valley to the southwest of the Western Rampats.
Note that when you talk to him, a group of corpses will attack you all! Help
him fend them off and then talk to him to get this quest. We also get a new
codex entry: [THE DALISH ELVES].
He will ask us to seek out his encampment, which is just to the west. Not
very hard to get to at all, just head through the forest and press westward.
These elves aren't hiding and you'll soon find them. Once you find their camp,
this quest will be over. Be sure to talk to the keeper and mention the hunger
sent you to report for [+1 DALISH FAVOR].
It should be noted that you can gain a number of additional quests here,
including "By the Grace of the Dalish", "From the Beyond", "The Golden Halla",
"A Well-Stocked Camp" and "Someone to Lose". The most important one is the
Grace of the Dalish, as we will need to earn favor (like above) to gain their
trust. Nothing comes easy! Now get to work!
By the Grace of the Dalish
��������������������������
Quest Giver: Keeper Hawen
Requirement: Complete "A Dalish Perspective"
Reward: 300 Influence, +3 Power, Experience, Ability to use Dalish Merchant,
Agent: Ithiren
To complete this quest, you must gain the Dalish's favor. Doing that means
completing quests around the camp. These quests are:
From the Beyond: +3 Dalish Favor
The Golden Halla+: 3 Dalish Favor
A Well-Stocked Camp: +1 Dalish Favor (per stock)
Someone to Lose: +2 Dalish Favor
Something to Prove: +3 Dalish Favor
All together you need about 15 Dalish Favor to "complete" this quest. We
have all the quests layed out down below, so it should be an easy thing to
do (most of them are quite easy as well). The rewards are quite worth it as
you get another agent AND the ability to trade with the Dalish. The trader
here specializes in magic staves, but also has quite a few schematics to look
through, including some masterwork items. He also has the [HIGH KEEPER ROBES],
but those will cost you a pretty penny (or 15,000+ pretty pennies) and they
are ELF/MAGE ONLY. Eh, if you like Solas THAT much...
From the Beyond
���������������
Quest Giver: Keeper Hawen
Requirement: Complete "A Dalish Perspective", offer to help at Var Bellanaris.
Reward: 200 Influence, +2 Power, +3 Dalish Favor
This quest is very easy. Var Bellanaris is a holy place to the Dalish, but it
has been overrun with demons so volunteer to go help out. It is to the south,
not too far away, and "overrun" with demons means you'll slay 2-3 Wraiths and
a handful of Lesser Shades. Really, no big deal.
Return to the Keeper when you are done to report you success for the rewards
listed above.
The Golden Halla
����������������
Quest Giver: Ithiren
Requirement: Talk to Ithiren at the Dalish camp and ask about the Halla.
Reward: Experience, +2 Power, +3 Dalish Favor
This is another pretty easy quest. We are tasked with finding a "Golden Halla".
It isn't really golden, though. Well, not fully. It is out in the plains to
the south. Go out there and find it, then you will be tasked with herding it
back to the Dalish.
"Herding" this thing is getting behind it and driving it upwards. Not too hard.
Moving left will make it go right and vice versa. It is going to run away from
you no matter what. Once you get it near the camp (not IN, just near) this
part will be done.
Now, talk to Ithiren to get your rewards and complete this quest.
A Well-Stocked Camp
�������������������
Quest Giver: Nissa
Requirement: Talk to Nissa at the Dalish camp and ask what troubles her.
Reward: 128 Experience, 80 Influence, +1 Dalish Favor (Per Item)
It appears the Dalish stores are low. Well, we're ready to win their favor,
aren't we!? Read her ledger nearby to discover that they are getting low on
Spindleweed, requiring 5 bushels of it.
You may already have these items of course, but if not the river nearby has
plenty of it. PLENTY. The worst part it that Nissa can't seem to walk 20 steps
to pick the stuff up herself! Regardless, go get it and bring it back to her.
You get 128 Experience, 80 Influence, +1 Dalish Favor for this (you get the
same for everything you get and bring back).
Next up is 10 Elfroot. You likely have this already, but if not do other
quests and obtain it, then bring it back for your reward.
Next up is 10 Canine Leather. Again, good chance you have this already.
It drops from wolves in the area. Kill them to obtain it and bring it back
for your reward.
Now we have five iron. There is no way you DON'T have this unless you just
straight up hate gathering things. Turn it in for your reward.
Lastly we have 3 Great Bear Pelts. Now, this does NOT come from this area.
Great Bears just aren't in this map. They ARE in the Emprise Du Lion map
though, so save this for when you head there (or if you already have them,
turn them in).
Once you do that last favor, you will have completed this quest.
NOTE: The [JUNE,: GOD OF THE CRAFT] codex is near Nissa, resting against the
nearby supplies. There is also the [ELGAR'NAN: THE ALL-FATHER] codex by
Emalien. Be sure to nab them both.
Someone to Lose
���������������
Quest Giver: Emalien
Requirement: Talk to Emalien at the Dalish camp and ask who (or what) Valorin
is.
Reward: +2 Dalish Favor
Valorin is, according to the map, up north. Not too far away, really. Head
up there and in his search area look for a large destroyed red house. His
charred remains will be in the middle of it, amongst the rubble. Examine him
and loot the [CHEST] nearby, then return to Emalien to report on her brother.
Damned idiot. Being nice here to her earns you Cole's approval, but Solas
and Dorian with both slightly disapprove.
You will now start the "Something to Prove" quest.
NOTE: The [JUNE,: GOD OF THE CRAFT] codex is near Nissa, resting against the
nearby supplies. There is also the [ELGAR'NAN: THE ALL-FATHER] codex by
Emalien. Be sure to nab them both.
Something to Prove
������������������
Quest Giver: Emalien
Requirement: Complete the quest "Someone to Lose".
Reward: +3 Dalish Favor
Since Valorin went and killed himself, it is up to us.
To complete this quest we have to find and return "Lindiranae's Talisman", a
Dalish Relic. If you wish, you can find this while doing the quest "Scattered
Glyphs" below. You may as well knock out two birds with one stone. If you
just want to focus on this quest though (can't blame you, that other one is
LONG), follow the river southeast of the Dalish Camp. You'll come to a cave
mark on the map titled "Shrine to Sylaise". Break down the barrier in here for
an [ANCIENT ELVEN ROBES] and [LIDIRANAE'S TALISMAN]. With it in hand, go back
and give it to Emalien for a nice jump in Dalish favor.
The Spoils of Desecration
�������������������������
Quest Giver: Exploration
Requirement: None
Reward: 256 Experience, 160 Influence
NOTE: This quest isn't given to you... directly. You have to destroy the
tombs at Var Bellanaris (the graveyard southwest of the Dalish Camp)
to get this quest.
In the northern section of the graveyard destroy the two graves on the hill
near the entrance. You will spawn a Wraith by doing this with each grave, so
kill them off and any shades that come. One of these two graves will have a
[KEY SHAFT 1/3].
The hill across from you has no keys, but two graves with items if you want
to keep killing (and you do, right!?). Head to the center area now and two
more hills await us. To the left is a hill with three graves. One has another
[KEY SHAFT 2/3] and two minor graves. The hill on the right has the last
[KEY SHAFT 3/3] somewhere in the two graves.
Next open up the door to the tomb nearby. This officially completes the
quest, but let's explore inside! There are [CHEST x3] in the two rooms in
here, along with plenty of Deep Mushrooms and some minor loot barrels. In
the back you can find the main chest... vase... thing, which honestly has
crap loot, but there is also a [MOSAIC PIECE] to the left.
Once you loot the main vase you'll be attacked by two Corpses and an Arcane
Horror. Kill them off and now the quest will be complete!
Scattered Glyphs
����������������
Quest Giver: Exploration
Requirement: None
Reward: Access to "Investigate the Elven Glyphs", unlocks the "Lost Temple of
Dirthamen" area. Further treasures and influence.
You can get this quest from starting it. That is to say, lighting some veil
fire and finding one of the four glyphs needed! To start you out (and to show
how we got it), just south of Olafin (the Dalish archer southeast of the
Western Ramparts; the man who gives you the "A Dalish Perspective" quest) is
a broken archway. Light the veil fire there and take it down the hill to the
collapsed mine to find [GLYPH 1/4]. That will get you this quest.
Now, to find the others!
A second glyph can be found to the northwest, out of the forest. You will come
across a campground and a small ruin. There will be a veil fire spot on the wall
of the ruin you can light. Do so and then search the small walls of the inner
rectangle area to find [GLYPH 2/4]. Two more to go.
A third is southeast of the Dalish Camp, south of the forest. Follow the river
until you come across the "Shrine to Sylaise" and enter. Inside you will find
some Freemen enemies. Slay them, light the veil fire, and examine the rune on
the opposite side of the area for [GLYPH 3/4]. Also note that you can find the
[SYLAISE: THE HEARTHKEEPER] codex here and can even break a barrier down nearby
with a mage for some [ANCIENT ELVEN ROBES] and [LIDIRANAE'S TALISMAN].
NOTE: The talisman here is important to another quest in the area, named
"Something to Prove". Get it now or get it later, but just get it when
you can!
The fourth and final one is out in some ruins to the west. Near the western
rift, actually (it is advised you destroy the rift before searching for it!).
There is a wall in these ruins your warrior can smash for easy access to the
rift and ruins. Once you clear the area of danger, have your mage find and light
the veil fire and then go west to the open courtyard (past the destroyable
wall) and search the northern wall for [GLYPH 4/4].
Finding all of the glyphs enables you to do the "Investigate the Elven Glyphs"
operation at the War Table. This costs 5 Power, but you should have that
easily. Go back to the base and do this operation when you can. It takes up
no time either, which is a bonus. Once you are done, you will unlock the new
area "Lost Temple of Dirthamen".
NOTE: Due to this being a fairly self-contained area, we are going to continue
this quest in this section. You may as well head there and do it now, so
you don't get lost in the game afterwards.
"Lost Temple of Dirthamen"
NOTE: This is technically the "God of Secrets" quest at this point, but
really doesn't deserve its own section as noted above. Carry on!
Head down into the crypt and read the book. Push onward and kill the corpses
at the intersection (or nearby) and then light the nearby veil fire. We will
be using this veil fire a bit here, so get used to it. We recommend having
your main character take up the torch, as the AI has a tendency not to fight
if they are carrying it (which isn't good if you rely on the AI at all).
With the torch examine the dog nearby for the [THE LOST TEMPLE OF DIRTHAMEN]
codes, the quest "Runes in the Lost Temple" and, naturally, [RUNE 1/7]. Funny
how that works. Cool statue.
NOTE: This starts the "Runes in the Lost Temple" quest, which we aren't really
tracking here formally.
Turn left now and into the room of misery. In the back here is a statue you
can examine for the [HEART OF MISERY] if you have the veil fire. Pick it up
for [SECRET 1/6] and an ambush by corpses and corpse archers. Kill them all
and head back to the intersection.
Head right now and into the room on the right. Note the gate here. We'll be
back for this, but you know of it now. Head back and continue down the
waterway. Head to the very end and pull the lever, then head into the Chamber
of Whispers. Inside look for [RUNE 2/7] which updates the area codex, and then
pick up the [TONGUE OF WHISPERS], which is [SECRET 2/6]. Another ambush. You
can use the doorway as a killing zone.
Head back to the waterway and down the left path. Further down we go! When
you get to a path on the left, note that you can break down a magical barrier
and find a note, some loot, and a [MOSIAC PIECE] from the "Freed Are Slaves"
set. Nice.
Continue down to the Sanctuary, where we can go a number of ways. Let's head
left first. Skip over the waterfall door and examine the corpse. Head into
the next door on the left. Read the note here and loot the [CHEST]. There is
a [RUNE 3/7] here, as well as another veil fire torch. Have a rogue pick the
door and you'll be in the Chamber of Torment. Before going into the room on
the right with the secret, look into the back room (by the waterfall) for
[RUNE 4/7] on the far wall. After that, go into the secret room and pick up
the [HANDS OF TORMENT], which is of course [SECRET 3/6]. And yes, another
corpse attack. Go figure. One of them actually has a key item though, so be
sure to loot THESE guys for the [ORNATE ELVEN KEY].
Head back out to the Sanctuary and then to the south side of this area (past
the door that is magically sealed). Open up the locked door here with your
key and head in. A bit in to the left is a lever that opens another door. Do
so and then look for the breakable wall here. Have your warrior do the honors
and search around for a [CHEST] and [RUNE 5/7].
Exit the room and continue left, jumping over the rubble. There is a secret
in the back here. Go look at the dead end to find the [EARS OF UNHEEDING],
which is our [SECRET 4/6]. We get to fight TWO Arcane Horrors now, which is
way better than corpses. Take them out!
From here, head through the archway/door across from the broken wall and
keep the torch out of the water. In the back you'll find an elven relic you
should activate for some experience and minor influence. Keep going and search
the next room for [RUNE 6/7].
Head back to the broken-wall area and left out the gate we opened up with the
switch. To the left is a door a rogue can unlock that leads to [CHEST x2].
Continue straight and up to a new room. On the left is some Rashvine Nettle,
a gathering ingredient that, at the very least Bkstunt has never seen before,
so be sure to grab it. Right next to it is [RUNE 7/7].
NOTE: This completes the "Runes in the Lost Temple" quest, which we aren't
really tracking here formally. You do get 200 Influence at this point
though, so that is good!
Continue on through the path behind you and you'll come to the "Chamber of
Despondency". Loot the bag here and open up the door with the lever. This
door leads to the initial start of the temple (told you we'd be back!). More
importantly, take the [HEART OF DESPONDENCY] which is [SECRET 5/6], and kill
the Arcane Horrors that attack!
Almost done! Head back down to the sanctuary (you may fight another horror on
the way) and head right this time. Inside the door is the [HARD IN HIGHTOWN:
CHAPTER SEVEN] codex. How or why this is here is beyond me. You can also find
the last secret here, the [EYES OF SECRETS] which is [SECRET 6/6]. Finally!
Now, take all of these body parts to the middle area and go down into the
middle water area. Here you will find stone pedestals you can place them all
on. Not a good idea, right? Heh. Do it anyways (NOTHING stops the Herald of
Andraste!) and soon you'll summon up...

BOSS: The Highest One Level 15
________________________________________________________________________________
Health: 46488
Defense: 0
Vulnerable: Fire

Immunity: Asleep
Immunity: Frozen
Strategy
��������
Of COURSE it is aggressive to us. Naturally...
The Highest One is the old leader of this place, and is an ice mage. As such,
he has a vulnerability to fire, so use that to your advantage (Earthshaking
Strike is lovely here, and I'm sure any fire mages will have an excellent time
as well).
The Highest One has several attacks you've likely seen before, such as shooting
a stream of ice at you (which can leave you chilled), causing icicle spires to
show up at your feet and knock you down, and he'll even summon corpses to
provide you some distraction. His most annoying move however is that fact that
he can put up a barrier on himself, which honestly he needs as he is really weak
and has NO defense.
Despite his barrier, this is an easy fight. This is mostly due to the fact that
The Highest One does NOT move around alot, so you can set traps up easily on
him. Be sure to get him burning! He is also not immune to being knocked down or
stunned, so use that to your advantage. The only real nuisance is that barrier,
which you'll either have to dispel or eat through. Still, this is a pretty easy
fight considering you can have your warrior keep his ass on the floor while you
roast him alive. Poor Highest One... he just revived and he's going to die so
soon!
________________________________________________________________________________
I take back what I said, The Highest One can rot. No loot? Bah.
That's OK though, the experience was good and we still have the quest to finish
up. The magically sealed door is not open. Enter to find a supply cache to the
left, a [MOSIAC PIECE] in the middle ("Freed are Slaves") and [CHEST x2]. The
big reward in the chests (that isn't random) is the [DIRTHAMEN'S WISDOM] shield.
Enjoy if you are a warrior, or let your tank enjoy.
With that, this quest is (finally) done! Head back out to the exit and kill
the Venatori that show up.
Ghilan'nain's Grove
�������������������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: Investigate collapsed tunnel northwest of Fort Revasan, and then
complete the "Gain Access to Ghilan'nain's Grove" operation at the
War Table.
Reward: Influence, Access to "The Fens Camp".
After you complete the "Gain Access to Ghilan'nain's Grove" operation at the
War Table you can access the area right near the third and final camp. However,
it has been overrun with Gurgut! We need to take them out in order to set up
camp.
These creatures should pose no problem to you (if they do, we're in trouble
for what else I want you to do in this area!), but if it helps use area
attacks as they are grouped up. Feel free to use as many potions as you want
too. We are about to set up camp after all! Slay them all and set up The Fens
Camp, which will serve as a good outpost to this area.
For the Empire
��������������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: Investigate broken bridge northwest of Fort Revasan, and then
complete the "Repair Pont Agur" operation at the War Table.
Reward: 200 Influence, +2 Power, Dalish Banner Crown
This is a fairly long quest that takes place after you do the "Repair Pont
Agur" War Table operation.
After you do that, the bridge in the northwest part of the map will be fixed,
giving you access to the northwest part of the map. We are tasked to "Go to
Citadelle Du Corbeau", but getting there is no walk in the park!
For starters, this entire area has been overrun with the undead and demons.
Your first clue to this is the fact that we have to burn body pits! Head
northwest to the "Northern Ramparts" and fight your way to the two body pits.
There's one to the south and one to the north, each guarded by an Elite Arcane
Horror. Take them down to stop the corpses, mop up the enemy, break the
magical barrier and burn the pit. We've done this twice before, so you are in
expert now, right?
Once you get both pits burned, head north to the door. An elite Revenant will
break through. He's a bit tougher than normal, but fairly easy to take down.
Be sure to loot him though, as he has the unique [RENDOR'S BLADE] on him.
Now, further in there is something you should know: this castle has AUTOMATED
DEFENSES. That means a giant ray of death will sweep through certain portions
of the upcoming area and severely damage anything that it touches. The first
time BK went through here, he was hoping it was a dragon! No such luck though!
In this first small courtyard, be sure to hit up the nearby [THE RAVEN] landmark
and press onward to safety. You'll see a dying soldier here who will explain the
defenses somewhat before he goes. Hit the lever and continue. The ladder here
has a [CHEST] on the top (of the hill), but we DO NOT recommend using this
height advantage to get away from the Laser 'O Death... the AI isn't smart
enough to follow you and may get caught up in the nearby slope. Instead, suck
it up and dash through the area to the back, where it is safe, and then fight
the corpses.
Continue on through the rubble and follow the walkways. You'll get to an even
bigger courtyard soon, with multiple openings. Tons of undead here of course.
Note that one of the nearby ladders on the right side has a [CHEST] at the top.
In the courtyard itself another "Laser o' Death" will roam around, so be
careful. Instead of following the obvious path onward, head LEFT to the tree
and find an area where you can drop down onto a wooden walkway. Follow this
walkway and jump the gap to a [CHEST] with some nice schematics. Keep following
this path to the battlements where a Rage Demon waits below. You can find
another [CHEST] on a ledge to the right before you drop down and face him.
Kill him off and note the path to the left and the path onward. To the left
is a dead end, but there are [CHEST x2] down that way. Nab them and go back,
taking the path onward. You will eventually end up fighting a ton of corpses at
the top of a flight of stairs. Use any area skills you have here and once you
are done, get the [CITADELLE DU CORBEAU] landmark.
Next we have to shut down the defenses. Either use the ladder or the steps in
the back and you'll find the gear to shut the defenses down. Turn the wooden
wheel and the door down below will open. Go down there and talk to the guard
to finish up this quest. Besides the influence and power, you also get the
[DALISH BANNER CROWN].
Since you are here, be sure to go talk to the commander down below to hear
her story and get the "Pressed for Cache" quest.
Pressed for Cache
�����������������
Quest Giver: Commander Jehan
Requirement: Complete the "For the Empire" quest.
Reward: 967 Experience Points, 200 Influence
Get it? Because "Cache" sounds like Cas.. ah, nevermind...
Another fetch quest... we really should make these people help themselves. Here
we are tasked with recovering TEN supply caches, all down south in areas we have
already been in.
These are pretty easy to find given the narrow search areas, but we'll go over
them quickly:
Supply Cache #1: Located near the bridge.
Supply Cache #2: South of #1, in a blue house.
Supply Cache #3: South of #1, in a red house, near a ton of corpses.
Supply Cache #4: North of the Riverside Camp, by a house.
Supply Cache #5: North of the Riverside Camp, on the dock.
Supply Cache #6: South of the Riverside Camp, by the large boulder.
Supply Cache #7: South of the Western Ramparts, along the road.
Supply Cache #8: South of the Western Ramparts, along the road.
Supply Cache #9: Near where the Dalish Outpost was, at the start of the
forest area.
Supply Cache #10: Inside the Dalish camp.
Once you collect (or mark) all of these supplies the quest will be complete.
You can go back to the Commander if you wish, but she won't say anything to
you. Not even a thanks...
Dirthamen: Keeper of Secrets
����������������������������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: Investigate collapsed tunnel northwest of Fort Revasan, and then
complete the "Gain Access to Ghilan'nain's Grove" operation at the
War Table.
Reward: Superb Amulet of Cunning, Shortcut through The Dead Hand.
NOTE: This is not a named quest in the game.
To get to this "quest", we must have access to Ghilan'nain's Grove and the
"Fens Camp". We'll assume that you have access, so let's uncover a well-kept
secret in this area (at least more well-kept than most of the hand-holding
the game does...).
As you head east from the camp you will inevitably hit a path split. The
left path leads to the fens while the right path leads to the "The Dead Hand",
which is a landmark. That's not all that is over there though: a ladder leads
down into a crypt.
Now, down here you can find a number of codex items and the rare lootable bag
or other minor thing, but by all appearances this crypt just leads to a large
room and a locked gate at the end. In the middle is a statue of an archer and
four orbs around her. The game doesn't come out and say it, but there is a
puzzle to be solved here!
The objective here is to get the archer to SHOOT all four orbs. The problem
with that is that three of the orbs are blocked by pillars. That's where we
come in! Let's go over how to shoot each orb.
NOTE: All directions are relative to entering the room as you initially did.
i.e. "North" leads to the locked gate and "South" is where you entered
from.
NORTHERN ORB: There is a lever to the northwest thats sole purpose is to
rotate the archer and make her shoot. The northern orb is the
only orb that is unguarded, so it makes sense we start here.
Rotate the lever until the archer shoots this orb. One Down.
It is a good idea (not just good... do this!) to have one of
your party members HOLD THEIR POSITION at this lever.
SOUTHERN ORB: This is the next target. Just northwest of the northwest lever
is a panel on the floor. Have a second party member who ISN'T
the archer lever operator go stand on it and make them hold
their position. This lowers the southern orb barrier. Now, have
your archer lever person shoot the southern orb. Two down.
WESTERN ORB: This one is a little trickier. Keep your person at the northwest
lever and have a second person move to the northeast corner and
stand by the lamp. DO NOT light it yet. Have them hold their
position.
Next, have the remaining two party member go to the southeast
lever. This lever lowers a nearby gate. That's all it does. Have
someone pull it and then move THROUGH the open gate to a second
lantern. Don't light it. Hold your position.
Finally, the last party member who is not holding their position
needs to go to the southwest corner. There is a [MOSIAC PIECE] over
here you should nab. Get it and stand by the lantern.. Ready? Have
them light it, and then quickly switch to the other two lantern
party members and have them light their lanterns. This lowers the
barrier on the eastern side. Quickly have your archer lever guy
shoot it. Three down.
EASTERN ORB: The last one. This is tricky, but easier than the last one. First,
one party member needs to get TRAPPED in the southeast room. Have
them hold position by the lantern and trap them in there, then
switch to them. There is a lever to the north they need to pull.
This opens a gate on the western side. Have your archer guy get
the archer ready to fire on the last orb, then send someone to the
west side where they will find a crank. Have them use it, then
quickly switch to your archer and shoot the last orb.
Once you are done, follow the lights as they light up the locked gate and let
you in! Search the tomb for the [SUPERB AMULET OF CUNNING] (which BK suspects
is a nod to figuring out this unnamed puzzle) and then examine the nearby
statue for the [DIRTHAMEN: KEEPER OF SECRETS] codex.
From here you can continue in, loot what you can, and fight off an Arcane Horror
and some corpses. This crypt leads to the southern part of the fens, right near
a camp where one of Cassandra's personal Templar Hunts occurs, but you will have
to manually unlock the gate to get out (providing you a shortcut through the

Gamordan Stormrider
�������������������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: Investigate collapsed tunnel northwest of Fort Revasan, and then
complete the "Gain Access to Ghilan'nain's Grove" operation at the
War Table.
Reward: See Loot table below.
NOTE: This is not a named quest in the game.
This is the High Dragon of The Exalted Plains. You can get to him anytime after
you do the operation noted above. He is located in the very northern part of
The Crow Fens. Your party should be level 12 or higher (the higher the better
of course - class specializations are helpful), any electricity resistance items
you have should be worn, and everyone should be stocked to the brim with potions
before you take him on.
Are you ready? We are! Let's go slay us another dragon!

Are you ready for this! BK is pumped!
This thing is an electric dragon, and as such is in a very advantageous
position for one reason: water. There's pools of water all around us. Water
and electricity are definitely bad for our health, so the number one thing you
want to be aware of going into this is that the water here WILL get electrified
and if you stand in it so will you!
The Gamordan Stormrider has many "High-Dragon" attacks that we've already seen
before. These include swiping any one of its four claws at us (and anyone who
happens to be nearby), swinging its tail in a large arc, and flapping its wings
to bring us in closer and damage us with the wind (mostly annoying for ranged
and/or mage characters as warriors can stay in the middle with the dragon and
be safe).
You've likely seen these attacks before, as this shouldn't be your first
dragon by any means (The Hinterland Dragon is easier, for example). This is
still a good second or third dragon to tackle.
The biggest threat is of course the water and electricity. The Stormrider
will breathe electricity like other dragon's breathe fire, moving the sparks
back and forth. He will also shoot out larger electric balls that will stay
on the battlefield for a short while, shocking anything that gets near them
(it should be noted though that these larger electric "traps" somehow DO NOT
turn the water into a death-trap).
At certain points in the battle the Stormrider will take to the skies and
shoot down his electric mine bolts at us. Other than that, a good time to
heal and revive if need be.
Keep your forces spread out due to the large radius of his electric mine
attack and watch how deep into the water you go... you don't want to be in
the water if you can help it. Other than that use Spirit Magic if you can
(note his weakness) and your strongest attacks to take him down. Enjoy the
massive haul of loot once the fight is over.
Loot: 3,652 Experience, 1600 Influence, +4 Power, Bianca Aiming II (Enhanced),
Lady Jocasta's Revenge, Superb Amulet of Dexterity, Dragon Gland, Intense
Dragon Blood x10, Dragon's Tooth x2, Dragon Webbing x4, Dragon Scales,
Dragon Bone x3
________________________________________________________________________________
Also, we will note here that there is a camp to the east that a dragon
researcher used to stay at. It has the [SCATTERED NOTES] codex (which is
absolutely hilarious), various loot, and the [MAP OF HALIN'SULAHN], which
of course turns into a quest.
Also don't forget the "Offering to the Dread Wolf" landmark to the north as
well as the Quarry Landmark to the north. Both very nice. Congrats on the
kill, Dragonslayer!

Despite its ominous-sounding name, Emerald Graves is picturesque beauty.
Forests as far as the eye can see. Canyons, rivers and waterfalls abound.
However, the land is dangerous as deserters of the Orlesian Civil War have
put their foot down and are trying to claim the area by force. A mysterious
contact named Fairbanks asks for the inquisitions help with the menace. Be
particularly aware of the dangerous lands to the north, which are home to
dangers much larger than a pack of human deserters...

Remedy Requisition in the Graves
��������������������������������
Quest Giver: Requisition Officer
Requirement: Be in the Emerald Graves
Reward: +1 Power
For this quest you will need 10 Rashvine plants and 5 pieces of Nugskin.
There's a good chance you already have these, depending on the order you
are visiting places... Nugs have been showing up since the start of the game,
and Rashvine is everywhere here. Seriously, very easy to find.
Once you have these ingredients, turn them in to complete the quest.
Pyrophite Survey in the Graves
������������������������������
Quest Giver: Requisition Officer
Requirement: Be in the Emerald Graves
Reward: +1 Power
This quest mainly has you digging up Pyrophite for the turn-in, but you also
need to find a single piece of Everite! Gah... one piece! You can imagine the
stuff isn't everywhere since they only want on piece. Good thing you have a
guide!
To find this piece of Everite, head northeast of Briathos' Steps camp, to
the Silver Falls landmark. This is a waterfall, of course, but it is also
where the Everite is. Search under the waterfall here to find the elusive
metal, and then turn this quest in when you can to complete it.

Watcher's Reach Refugees
������������������������
Quest Giver: Scout Harding
Requirement: Be in the Emerald Graves
Reward: 80 Influence, Experience
This is our initial "story" quest for this area. First we must find Fairbanks.
He isn't very far away actually, just head north and go down the slope when
you get a chance. His guards will let you through. Talk to him when you can
and he'll tell you about the Red Templars and offer his intel.
His intel is in the nearby room, but you can climb the stairs here to get
to a landmark before you head to it. Once you check out the intel, read all
three pieces nearby. Nothing really damning here, honestly, but it completes
this quest and starts the next one titled "A Fallen Sister".
NOTE: Search nearby (this little settlement area) to find the following: the
[BATTLEGROUND STATE] codex, the Wolf Falls landmark, the [MAP OF WATCHER'S
PASS], and finally a Veil Fire brazier. There is a rune nearby, so light
the fire and take it out to the canyon to the left (the way you came from)
and keep your eye on the right wall for the [LIGHTNING RUNE].
A Fallen Sister
���������������
Quest Giver: Fairbanks
Requirement: Complete "Watcher's Reach Refugees"
Reward: 80 Influence, Experience
To the north is the Veridium Mine, where the "Fallen Sister" is. "Fallen" of
course means we have to kill her. On your way there you will likely face a few
patrols of Freemen, but nothing you haven't fought before.
Once you get to the mine itself you'll find another group of Freeman, but this
time Sister Costeau is among them (or nearby... she'll come out to fight once
you start fighting). She is a warrior, sword and shield type. Only an elite
mob though, so you can knock her down and take her out of the fight pretty
quick. Be sure to loot her afterwards for the unique mace [SOULKISSER], which
steals a small amount oh HP with every hit. It has low DPS though, so it
probably isn't worth it to your tank.
Once you've killed the sister, the quest is officially complete. You can look
around this area though for a [MOSIAC PIECE] (the invasion set), and a note
that gives the quest "A Vicious Thug" (although if you already visited the
villa and took out Duhaime, you will just complete this quest... otherwise,
just do it whenever). There is also a [CHEST] nearby and the [CELL KEY]. Note
that picking up this cell key gives us the quest "Not Everyone's Free" and also
80 Influence... for some reason. Oh well, we'll take it!
Also be sure to check the back room by the cell to find a [CHEST] and a note
that starts the "A Deluded Chevalier" quest.
Not Everyone's Free
�������������������
Quest Giver: Cell Key!
Requirement: Complete "A Fallen Sister", find nearby key.
Reward: 242 Experience, 80 Influence
This is a short and easy "quest". There are prisoners trapped in the cell at
Veridium Mine. The key is nearby. Deal with Sister Costeau in the above quest
"A Fallen Sister" and then search around for the key. Let the prisoners go to
complete the quest.
Rifts at the Cove
�����������������
Quest Giver: Scout Harding
Requirement: Be in the Emerald Graves
Reward: 967 Experience, 200 Influence, +2 Power (Per Rift)
Your standard "shut the rifts" quest. Only two in this quest, one to the south
and one to the north. The southern rift has a ton of Wraiths and a Rage/Despair
Demon combo, while the northern rift has a ton of Wraiths on the the first
phase and a ton on the second with a Despair Demon. You've faced worse by now,
so take them out and enjoy the rewards.
Rifts at the Pavilion
���������������������
Quest Giver: Exploration / Briathos' Steps Camp
Requirement: None
Reward: 1324 Experience, 600 Influence, +2 Power (2 Rifts)
967 Experience, 200 Influence, +2 Power (2 Rifts)
Four more rifts for us to shut down. This quest shows up easily once you get
to the "Briathos' Steps" camp, which is northeast of the Villa (head north
past the villa, climb up to it through a valley).
The rifts here were honestly a surprise to me, considering what we've faced
so far. They are a step up in difficulty! The one to the south starts of
pretty easy with some Wriaths and a Despair Demon, but the second wave has
Wraiths, a Rage Demon, and a PRIDE DEMON!
You may not remember the Pride Demon, but we have fought him. Remember the
first real boss of the game? Yep, this is him. Again. To re-cap, he has a
lightning whip and a lightning orb attack, which can slow you. He is also
lightning resistant, if that matters to you. He is tougher than the Rage and
Despair Demons (just not as annoying as the Despair Demons...). Take him out
to seal the rift.
The 2nd one is to the further south, in a dead-end grove. There are Great
Bears nearby, so be sure to take them out separately. This one starts off
pretty easy with two Greater Terrors but the 2nd wave adds in some Wraiths,
a Rage Demon, and another Pride Demon. Yikes! Do what you did before to seal
up the rift, and check to the south for an Elven Artifact you can activate.
Note that these first two rifts give more experience than the last two...
The last two northern rifts are easy compared to the bottom two (and that
fact shows in the reduced experience). The northwest one has you facing off
against some Greater Terrors and a Despair Demon (who is as annoying as ever),
while the northern one is all Wraiths and Despair Demons. Very easy stuff.
Defeat the enemies and seal these rifts to wrap up this quest.
Note that once you finish this quest, you should get a new operation
notification titled "Support from Nevarra". Weird, but oh well...
Rifts at the Reach
������������������
Quest Giver: Exploration / Gracevine Camp
Requirement: None
Reward: 1324 Experience, 600 Influence, +2 Power (Per Rift)
You will get this quest once you discover the Gracevine Camp, which is north
of the lodge and Briathos' Steps Camp. Two rifts this time, both to the north.
Should be easy, right?
The southern one by the river is fairly easy. Despair Demons are annoying and
the second wave includes a Pride Demon, but you've fought these things enough
by now to know what he'll do.
The one just to the north (go around to the right to reach it) has a ton of
Wraiths and a Rage Demon / Pride Demon combo on the second wave. Again, pretty
much the same stuff you've been dealing with. I will not that there is a logging
stand nearby you should definitely claim, as well as the [SCRAP OF PAPER] codex
entry sitting on a table near the logging stand.
Rifts at the Sighs
������������������
Quest Giver: Exploration / Direstone Camp
Requirement: None
Reward: 967 Experience, 200 Influence, +2 Power (2 Rifts)
After you get to the Direstone Camp you'll get three more rifts to close. Hey,
why not!? As you can see, one is in the north, one is in the center, and one
is to the south. From the camp, go north to access them all, but be careful of
any roaming giants!
The central one is easiest to get to from camp, but is fairly average. You have
a Greater Terror and Despair Demon combo here that doubles on the second wave.
That's why there's less XP here.
The southern rift isn't any better, boasting some Wraiths and a Rage Demon
while throwing in a Despair Demon in the second phase. Still lower XP, as you
can see.
Finally we have the northern rift, which is... a surprise! Not a puny, weak
rift! The first wave is pretty weak. Wraiths and a Despair Demon, but the
second wave. Oh boy. We get Greater Shades (no biggie), TWO Despair Demons
(annoying) and a FEAR DEMON. This is our (or at least this writer's) first
Fear Demon, so its good to see some progression.
Fear demons are electric and spirit vulnerable, but immune to (surprise!)
fear and cold resistant. They can also spawn their own minions called Fear
Underlings and use ice attacks. Fun. Take them out with fire if you can (like
the Despair Demons) and try to get the Despair Demons in the crossfire. I
still think the Despair Demons are more annoying, but they don't hit as hard
so you may want to focus on the less mobile and more dangerous Fear Demon.
Note that the third rift here gives enhanced experience when you close it
as well as 600 Influence.
Holding the Emerald Graves
��������������������������
Quest Giver: Scout Harding
Requirement: Be in the Emerald Graves
Reward: 100/200 Influence, +1 Power (Per Camp)
We have three more camps that we need to find and claim to complete this
quest. As usual, let your quests guide you near these camps and then go claim
them when the are close to you.
The lowest one is the "Briathos' Steps" Camp, and is northwest of Villa Maurel.
This camp will serve you well for the rifts nearby and for helping out
Fairbanks in your last push to rid the area of the Freemen.
The next two are equally apart and can be gotten to at your leisure, really.
To the west is the Gracevine Camp which is easy to get to while to the east is
the Direstone Camp. Each of them has their own small set of rifts nearby.
NOTE: Be sure to get the [MAP OF ELGAR'NAN'S BASION] near the Gracevine camp.
Once you get them all this quest will be considered complete.
Devotion
��������
Quest Giver: Random Letter by the "Andraste's Light" landmark.
Requirement: None
Reward: 242 Experience, 80 Influence
You will discover this quest near the "Andraste's Light" landmark, which is
just to the north of the first camp. A grieving mother wants someone to light
a candle for her. Sad. The chantry she references is to the north quite aways,
and there are a ton of quests to do between here and there.
With that in mind, I wouldn't worry about this quest until you help out
Fairbanks and win his support. Then when you are ready head toward the marker
on the map. There's no special obstacles on the way here, aside from maybe a
pack of Black Wolves that like to hang out south of your destination, but once
you reach the "chantry" (more of a landmark), place the candle and you'll be
done with the quest.
You may as well claim "The Lion's Pavilion" landmark and nab the note behind
the awesome statue up above for the "A Lover's Promise" quest while you are
here.
A Vicious Thug
��������������
Quest Giver: Note at the Veridium Mines
Requirement: None
Reward: 200 Influence, Experience, +2 Power
This quest is gained when you examine a note at the Veridium Mines, although
you may just do it out of order if you visit the Villa Maurel first. This
quest is all about killing off the elite mob over there, the thug known as
Duhaime.
You can find him at the Villa Maurel, north of Fairbanks' Camp. Kill him off
to access the Villa itself as he has the [VILLA MAUREL KEY]. Be sure that you
do go to the Veridium Mines and examine the notes there to get this quest as
well (you will complete it if you visit the Villa before the Mines).
Either way, take him out. He is an elite enemy, with several Freeman troops
around him. He is a two-handed warrior and can knock you down easily (if he gets
near you) and can hit multiple people with his swings if they are close enough.
Not much of a threat. Take him out and loot his corpse for the unique axe
[GLITTERING DARMALLON].
A Corrupt General
�����������������
Quest Giver: Exploration
Requirement: None
Reward: +2 Power
To get this quest, try to enter the "Villa Maurel" north of Fairbank's Camp.
Pretty hard to miss the place, it is huge and guarded by the Freemen. Once
you try the front door, you'll get this quest.
We need a key to get in. Thankfully, a gentleman just to the north will
kindly accommodate us... over his dead body. Just to the north is Commander
Duhaime, who has some letters in this area. He is an elite enemy, with several
Freeman troops around him. He is a two-handed warrior and can knock you down
easily (if he gets near you) and can hit multiple people with his swings if
they are close enough. Not much of a threat. Take him out and loot his corpse
for the [VILLA MAUREL KEY] and the unique axe [GLITTERING DARMALLON].
NOTE: You may do this out of order, but killing Duhaime also completes the
quest "A Vicious Thug". If you kill him without that quest active, be
sure to go to the Veridium Mines and examine the documents there to find
(and complete) that quest.
NOTE: To the right up the hill, behind the tree, is some Prophet's Laurel.
Rare to see, so snatch it up.
Loot the area and with the key now in hand enter the villa!
This villa is pretty small, but does have an elite fight in it and another
small quest to do, as well as LOOT! We're not going to bother pointing out
all the chests here... there are a lot. But this place isn't big by any means
to you'll find them.
There are quite a few Freemen enemies scattered out here and there. The elite
is to the north, so take out the side enemies, then go north and face him (we
can save looting for later). The leader's name here is Maliphat. You may have
seen his name on notes here and there. He is a dual-wielding rogue, but isn't
too rough. Knock him down and have at him. He doesn't even really drop anything
of note...
Once he is dead let's work on getting the loot in this place. And codex's,
plenty of those. From the courtyard (where I'll be giving directions relative
to), search the east side of the villa to find the dining hall. Here you can
find some notes that unlock the [MALIPHANT'S JOURNALS] codex. There's more
updates to this here as well.
Now, head into the next room and search the table with the pickaxe on it to
find a secret rune. This actually starts the "Safe Keeping" quest, but we are
going to go over it here (it is down below, but merely for completions sake).
We will call this [RUNE 1/3].
After you loot the west chambers, head over to the east side. Head past the
"Private Chambers" and search for [RUNE 2/3] near the knocked-over bookcase.
There are several bedrooms nearby, with plenty of notes. In particular, you
want to get the [SEXUALITY IN THEDAS] codex, in the east bedroom.
Once you are done here, head back to the courtyard and head north, to the
Study. There are quite a few notes in here, but [RUNE 3/3] is just to the
left, by the candle. Among the codex's you can find here (which are all very
interesting reads) are the [THE EXALTED MARCH OF THE DALES], the [THE LONG WALK
TO HALAMSHIRAL], and an update to [MALIPHANT'S JOURNALS].
Now, break the nearby wall with a warrior and you'll find the hidden stash!
This room has a [MOSIAC PIECE], part of the Invasion set and an update to the
[MALIPHANT'S JOURNALS]. There is also a contraption here in the middle that
we'll need to use. Put the rune pieces on it and then have your mage power it
up. Take the completed [RUNE KEY] when you are done.
This unlocks the door next to the desk outside and finishes the "Safe Keeping"
quest. Inside the treasure room is [CHEST x2] and some various other loot, but
the real treasures are the ORLESIAN BANNER CROWN] and the [AMULET OF POWER] for
Vivienne ONLY.
And with that we are done! Congrats!

Quest Giver: Find a rune during the quest "A Corrupt General"
Requirement: None
Reward: 242 Experience, 80 Influence
This quest is found while exploring the Villa Maurel during the quest "A
Corrupt General". Specifically, finding 3 runes in the rather small villa.
We cover this quest thoroughly under "A Corrupt General" (up above), so if
you need help finding those rune pieces, please consult that quest for help.

Quest Giver: Find a body in the river northwest of the Veridium Mine.
Requirement: None
Reward:
This is an odd quest. Here we'll look into why this body is here, or what
could have made her fall. To do this though, we'll have to get up on the
ledge where a body could have fallen from...
If you haven't explored up north awhile, this quest will be put on the back
burner. Other quests to the south and camps to the north need te be done and
found first. Once you get to the Direstone Camp though you can go north, then
east and south to get to the area we need to be at. From there, it is a simple
matter of following the objective.
Wow... silly girl. Read the book nearby to officially finish the quest, and
harvest what she could not if you wish. Don't fall!
A Deluded Chevalier
�������������������
Quest Giver: Read a note in The Veridium Mine.
Requirement: None
Reward: 200 Influence, +2 Power
To get this quest, read a note regarding the chevalier working for the
Freemans at Veridium Mine. This is best done when doing the quest "A Fallen
Sister", as she is in the area.
To complete the quest, we have to visit the lodge located west of Briathos'
Steps (the camp to the northwest of the Villa). There are quite a few Freemen
here (it is a Freeman base!), but before assaulting the main camp, take care
of the outlying enemies (it is easiest to approach from the north). There are
also a few shacks outside the main camp, one of which needs a rogue to unlock
you. Inside these shacks you can find loot of course (and a [CHEST]), but also
the [DALISH BANNER] and a book on [THE PERENDALE WAR], which is a codex
entry.
Once you have that stuff, it is time to assault the main camp. It has a few
Freemen enemies in it of course, but also Chevalier Auguste, who is actually
a two-handed weapon user. Much like Duhaime, if you've fought him. Put combos
and status effects on him and watch out for his wide attacks. Slay all of his
support and he'll be no big deal at all.
Once he is dead loot him for some rare loot and the [SKETCH OF CHATEAU
COURTYARD] map, which is a hidden map codex and gives you something to search
for at the Chateau (look for the quest of the same name later in this
exploration section). There are a lot of doors here as well you can unlock
that have a lot of loot behind them and even some notes to and from Auguste.
Notable loot however is a [BOTTLE OF THEDAS] hiding in one of the shacks (use
your search bar) and a [MOSIAC PIECE] from the "Invasion" set hiding out in
another one of the shacks.
Now that you've looted the place thoroughly, we are done with this quest.

Quest Giver: Kill all three Freeman Leaders
Requirement: Kill all three Freeman Leaders
Reward: Experience, 230 Influence, +1 Power, Fairbanks Agent
You would think Fairbanks would give you this quest BEFORE you kill off the
people, but nope... either that or the game is being buggy again (which is hard
to tell, sometimes...).
Anyway, this quest is about killing the three Freeman Leaders in the area, but
doesn't show up in your quest log until you actually KILL them all. The three
leaders are:
o Sister Costeau (Killed during the quest "A Fallen Sister").
o Maliphat (Killed during the quest "A Corrupt General").
o Chevalier Auguste (Killed during the quest "A Deluded Chevalier").
Once you have done all the quests above, return to Fairbanks' Camp and report
your success to him. You'll complete the quest now and gain [FAIRBANKS] as an
agent. WHEE!
Last Wishes

Quest Giver: Exploration
Requirement: None
Reward: 242 Experience, 80 Influence
You can find this quest by examining the pot next to the "Andraste's Strength"
landmark, whish is northwest of the Briathos' Steps Camp. There is a large urn
near the landmark that the widow wishes for some kind soul to help spread the
ashes. It's so big, I'm not surprised she needs help!
THIS quest will be on the backburner for quite a time. The location we need
to travel to is far to the north, so this may very well be one of the last
quests you accomplish in this area (which is funny since it is one of the
first quests you can get).
Once you have done most of the quests in this area and have started exploring
the northern reaches of this area, set your objective back up for this quest.
The area we want is at the edge of a cliff, so head there and spread the ashes
to end this quest. Rest in peace...

Quest Giver: Clara
Requirement: Complete "Victims of War", Rest in Camp
Reward: Experience, 500 Influence, +2 Power, "Manage Stolen Freeman
Property" (possible)
After you complete the "Victims of War" quest, members of Fairbanks' Camp
will move into the lodge where you killed Auguste. I guess it is a better
place? I dunno, I kinda liked their canyon place to be honest. Regardless,
after they move go check out their new digs and talk to Clara to get this
quest.
So, Fairbanks might be nobility huh? I suppose we'll investigate. First, go
check out the shacks nearby the lodge (in the room the rogue had to unlock)
to find a hidden book on Orlesian Nobility for [PROOF 1/3]. Heh.
The next two are down by the Villa Maurel. On the northern side, in the
gazebo area, you will find an old painting in the corner for [PROOF 2/3].
Whatever works! In the southern area head into the locked room (that you
probably unlocked a long time ago) and then search the corners of the area
for an old Midwife's Journal and [PROOF 3/3]. Let's head back to the lodge
now.
From here we can give the information to either Clara or Fairbanks! Fairbanks,
as it turns out, already knows what (who) he is, but doesn't want to be caught
up in it at all. So, who do we choose? Well, choosing either one completes
the quest. Choosing Clara will make Blackwell slightly disapprove, but if
we listen to Fairbanks Blackwell will slightly approve AND we will get a new
operation called "Manage Stolen Freeman Property". Its your call on whether
or not to expose Fairbanks, but the operation alone should make you pause...
Observing the Menace
��������������������
Quest Giver: Exploration / Notes
Requirement: None
Reward: 242 Experience, 80 Influence
This quest we will obtain by reading some notes (which actually become the
[THE DIARY OF TROILUS HERTUBISE] codex entry) that are located sought of the
camp, up on a hill. They are near a rift, the most northern rift in the "Rifts
of the Pavilion" quest.
The menace is down below, to the north, by the river. Part of the "Rifts at
the Reach" quest. The camp the scout is using is just to the south, on top of
the rock (approach from the southwest, climb around). You'll find a journal
here. Read it (good story) and then you'll be tasked to find the next camp to
the east.
This camp is near Direstone Camp, but up on the hill (go north and around to
get to it - watch out for giants in the area around here). It is at the bottom
of the rocky outcrop. You'll see what happened to the poor scout. Loot the
body and read the final journal to end the quest. At least he tried to help.
A Lover's Promise
�����������������
Quest Giver: Exploration / Notes
Requirement: None
Reward: 242 Experience, 80 Influence
You can find this quest while doing the quest "Devotion". It is gained from
reading a note by The Lion's Pavilion landmark. We're going to meddle in some
peoples affairs... again... 'cause that's what we do!
The place we are going to is just north of the Gracevine Camp. Someone has
set up a camp here. Once you examine the camp the quest is complete, but you
aren't done! A Giant Spider will attack now, so be ready to take it down and
loot it afterward to see what likely became of the lovers (or at least one of
them...).
Map of Watcher's Pass
���������������������
Quest Giver: Map
Requirement: None
Reward: 242 Experience, 80 Influence, 279 Gold, Bianca Arms IV, Superb Belt
of Health
This is one of the documents you can find at Fairbank's Camp in Watcher's
Pass. However, despite the map saying "Map of Watcher's Pass", this hidden
treasure location is NOWHERE NEAR that area.
To find it, we must first go to Direstone Camp. That is way to the north, so
this quest can go to the backburner until then. Once you are there though we
can go find this. Head north to the river and follow it east and south. You
will get to a bridge sooner or later. This is the key spot!
From the bridge look around for a rock with the painting on it and head
over there to get your search ping going. Follow the ping up the rocks to
find the hidden treasure cache and end this quest.
Sketch of Chateau Courtyard?

Map of Elgar'nan's Bastion
��������������������������
Quest Giver: Map
Requirement: None
Reward: 242 Experience, 80 Influence, Amulet of Power (Solas), 244 Gold,
Frost Rune x10
You can find this map at the Gracevine Camp. Once you take it over, look
around and you'll find it fairly easily.
The treasure is near the self-titled Elgar'nan's Bastion, which is quite
a ways away. Best saved for after you explore further north. Once you have
the Direstone Camp and have explored to the north and northeast of it you
will know where the bastion is.
Once you are there among the ruins, head to the area that has stairs and,
to the north, two arches (putting the stairs on your left). From there, go
up the stairs and north to the tree, where your search beacon will begin to
assist you on finding the treasure. With the beacon you can find it easily,
so loot it for the loot above, the best of which is the [AMULET OF POWER] for
Solas. Lucky Solas. And with that we are done!
A Bear to Cross
���������������
Quest Giver: Johnson
Requirement: ???
Reward: 80 Influence
NOTE: This quest was found while randomly heading back to the initial camp,
which means we aren't 100% sure (yet) what triggers it...
A troop named Johnson located at Hill Camp will tell us of a local bear problem
and ask our help with it. The bear in question is territorial and attacking
people to the northeast. Head there to find a cave with several Bear Pups and
the elite bear Johnson was talking about.
Try to draw out the pups first and slaughter them before taking on the main
enemy. When you do draw out the elite bear, try to keep him taunted and at the
front of the cave: a good place to lay down traps and other area effects. Keep
your health up here as the bear hits non-tanks HARD and can kill quickly.
Chip it down and slay it to complete the quest.
Gamordan Stormrider

Quest Giver: None
Requirement: None
Reward: See Loot table below.
NOTE: This is not a named quest in the game.
This is the High Dragon of The Emerald Grave. Unlike other dragons in the game,
you don't need to do any quests or War Table activities to get to him: you just
need to head to the very northern part of the map.
As always, your party should be around the dragons level before you attempt
this (the higher the better of course - class specializations are helpful). Any
ice resistance items you have should be worn, and everyone should be stocked to
the brim with potions before you take him on.
Are you ready? We are! Let's go slay us another dragon!

BOSS: Greater Mistral Level 17
________________________________________________________________________________
Greater Mistral
Health: 173472
Defense: 52
Vulnerability: Fire
Immunity: All Disabling Effects
Immunity: Slowed
Perceptive
Greater Cold Resistance
Strategy
��������
The Greater Mistral is an ice-based dragon, and as such he will have many of
the same "breath attacks" that we've seen other dragons do, just in ice form.
He is also vulnerable to fire, which helps a ton if you have a mage with fire
skills and a fire staff (equip before you go it!). Warriors with Earthshaking
Strike will also appreciate this (which is BK!).
The Greater Mistral has many "High-Dragon" attacks that we've already seen
before. These include swiping any one of its four claws at us (and anyone who
happens to be nearby), swinging its tail in a large arc, and flapping its wings
to bring us in closer and damage us with the wind (mostly annoying for ranged
and/or mage characters as warriors can stay in the middle with the dragon and
be safe). I will note that unlike most dragons you have probably fought until
now, the Greater Mistral doesn't really jump and fly away short distances to
move around... he does more of a twirling motion... which is a bit weird, but
hey, that's what he does. The motion is useful (to him) to get him out of any
area effects, so try to save launching those for after he, um... twirls...
Being chilled and frozen in this fight is very possible if you get caught up
in the ice attacks, but this shouldn't be too hard to avoid if you space out
your fighters. At certain points in the fight the Greater Mistral will take
to the skies to fly around for awhile, shooting ice balls down at us before
returning to land again. Normal dragon behavior it seems.
The last thing you should note here is that the Greater Mistral will give
himself armor, much like the Abyssal High Dragon. This is of course annoying
as it is several thousand extra damage you must do to eat your way through
it, and of course he will put his armor up at multiple times throughout the
fight.
Keep your fighters spread out, use potions smartly and use fire attacks when
you can. Use your most powerful skills and focus attacks. No need to hold
back here! Once you take him down you will be handsomely rewarded! Good job
on killing another one of these massive beasts!
Loot: 4,138 Experience, 2000 Influence, +5 Power, In War, Victory (Armor),
Gift of the Talons, Helm of the Inquisitor, Amulet of Power (Sera Only),
Pure Dragon Blood x5, Dragon's Tooth, Dragon Webbing x8, Dragon
Scales x5, Dragon Bone x10
Be sure to collect all the Arbor Blessing plants around this area as well
as claim the "Twisted Tree" landmark to the north (which, at least for this
writer, didn't allow him to claim it until AFTER the dragon had been slain).
Again, congrats!
Chateau d'Onterre
�����������������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: None
Reward: 967 Experience, 200 Influence, +2 Power
NOTE: This is a named quest, but not until you head into the Chateau and
start seeing weird stuff... no one gives you this quest before that.
While not a named quest, there is a dungeon in the Emerald Graves that is
worth typing about here: Chateau d'Onterre. This is the dungeon (Cheateau)
near the end of the "Motherly Encouragement" quest and can be entered at any
time you wish. We'll describe what is going on here below.
After you enter you find yourself in the very dark foyer (players who have
Cole in the party will get lots of good dialog here). The portraits in the
hallway are named and the door to the right is locked. Head left and read
the [A TORN DIARY] codex/note on the floor. Between that and the candles you
know we are in trouble...
Head through the door into the galley. From here, take the close hallway and
have your rogue unlock the door here out to the courtyard. Explore out here
using your search ability to find a hidden [SKETCH I OF CHATEAU D'ONTERRE
INTERIOR] codex by the steps of the pond. ON the steps. A bit weird, but there
it is.
After picking it up be aware that corpses are patrolling the chateau. Usually
only one at a time though, so not much of a threat. Now, let us explore the
rest of the downstairs area. You will find the Servant's Quarters, the Kitchen
and a Ballroom. Items of note include loot in the kitchen, a [CHEST] in one of
the many hallways connecting these rooms, [CHEST x2] in the ballroom, an update
to the [A TORN DIARY] in the ballroom, a room off the ballroom with an elven
relic to activate and another [CHEST], and finally a journal in the bedroom
of the Servant's Quarters. Go ahead and explore this downstairs area and find
those items, then return to the gallery and head upstairs, to the Library.
Up here use your ping and head around the stairs to the back. It will lead
you to a statue on the rail that you can move for [SKETCH II OF CHATEAU
D'ONTERRE INTERIOR]. Interesting. Nearby is a room with [CHEST x2] and another
room that leads to a locked door (we need the Balcony Key... which we don't
have yet).
Head back to the library and revel in the vast amount of readable material
here. Seriously, you get four codes entries here by reading everything you
can: [THE GIRL IN RED CROSSING] codex, [OF GODS AND DOUBT] codex, the
[SUPERSTITIONS] codex and finally the [FROM THE CANTICLE OF THRENODIES] codex.
There are also [CHEST x3] in various corners of the library, so loot them all.
At the end enter the door on the right to find the bedchambers.
Here check the first bedroom for [CHEST x2] and a note on one of the tables.
The second bedroom is a bit more interesting. Your search ping will show up
again, so follow it to above the fireplace for [SKETCH III OF CHATEAU
D'ONTERRE INTERIOR]. Loot everything in here and then back out to the bedroom
hallway. This next part is a little tricky, and may very well be the reason
you are checking this guide out. We have to jump out the window!
Nearby is an open window. Use it to go outside and drop down to the balcony
to find a [MOSIAC PIECE], then drop down to the pond. Climb back up to the
Bed-Chambers now and go back out the window but STAY on the blue ledge and move
around to the other side. You can drop down and open the door here now (or go
in the other window) to be in the Antechamber. From here loot the [CHEST x2]
and open the door to the bedchambers to have a shortcut. Note that this area
also has stairs leading down to the Servant's Quarters you can open a shortcut
to and find a [CHEST] along the way.
Continue on to come to the upper area of the Ballroom. Here you will find a
giant dragon strung up. Head over to its head and explore the statue nearby
to have it move its tail. Go read the note that shows up on the tail. Very
ominous. Explore this area for loot and another note, then open the door out
to the balcony. Kill the dead here and then open the far door at the end to
connect the place to the library, then go back to the balcony.
Well... no choice now but to interact with the cube. Do so to gain a whopping
[+10 CUNNING] and spawn an Arcane Horror down below. Yikes! Head down using
the broken railing nearby and take it out to end this quest.
Note that the real rewards are on the corpse. These include the [D'ONTERRE
CREST RING], an [AMULET OF POWER] for Cole Only, some other rare gear, and
the unique [SUPERB COOLDOWN AMULET], which cools down all of your skills by
a very respectable 15%. Very nice!

KILL ALL OF THE ANIMALS! We kid of course, but for this quest you'll need to

This is really just the "intro" quest to the area. Head down from the camp
and talk to the townspeople. Simple enough. The first person is Mistress
Poulin, in the yellow house on the left. She'll tell you how she sold the
quarry to the Templars. Lovely. The next person to talk to is just beyond the
houses, out on the outskirts of town. Michel. Despite being disgraced, he is
here to track down a demon named Imshael. He's not about to do it along, though.
Talk to these two people and this quest will be complete.
Take Back the Lion
������������������
Quest Giver: Scout Harding
Requirement: Be in Emprise Du Lion
Reward: Experience, 2200 Influence, +4 Power
INSTEAD of a "Holding the Emprise" quest, we have this quest! Which is to say,
instead of finding camps and claiming them, we are wiping out groups of Red
Templars and taking their camps! Drive out your enemy before you!
Our first target is to drive away the templars from Highgrove, which is just
southwest of our starting camp. Easy enough to do: you will encounter a group
of templar by the frozen falls to the west (look for Red Lyrium to smash here,
chests, and the Crystal Cascade Landmark), then head southeast and find the
steps leading to the main camp. Kill the guards here and take over the camp
when you are done.
Next out objective will change to Drakon's Rise, to the east. Follow the path
out of camp to the southwest and follow it as it winds around, leading up and
east. You'll have to kill templars along the way, but you'll also come across
a lot of Dawnstone, so pick that up as you go. Once you get to the cliffs
overlooking the valley, look for a ton of elfroot and a journal on a body by
the cliffs (loot it as well... he won't need that ring).
You'll be at Drakon's Rise soon. Slaughter the templars there. Pretty much
more of the same, but they do have a Behemoth this go around, so be ready for
him. Once you have killed them, take the camp and the objective will change to
killing the enemy at the Tower of Bone. Heh...
NOTE: There is a secret operation nearby. Head northeast of Drakon's Rise
Camp and search for a journal near the body of a dead elf. He is a bit
out of the way, but after reading the journal you will unlock the
"Rumors of the Sulevin Blade" operation at the War Table. Worth doing.
This is actually the last location we'll be taking over (for this quest
anyways). Head east and then south down the slope when you can. There is a
small opening on your right-hand side through the rocks you can get through
that leads to a small area with tons of elfroot and a ramp leading to the
Tower of Bone camp. Defeat the Red Templar Behemoth here. You could claim the
camp now, but we'd advise continuing on and scouting the area. There are some
Red Templar Horrors down below with some normal enemies. May as well wipe them
all out (Archers can benefit from the range on the ramps here). Once you are
done go ahead and claim the camp to complete this quest.
You will get the "Capturing Suledin Keep" and "Rocky Rescue" quests after
you complete this one. We aren't done exploring this area after all! Also,
don't forget to clime the nearby ladders around the tower for the Ocularum
and the "Tower of Bone" landmark!

Reward: 1324 Experience, 600 Influence, +2 Power
ONE rift? Really? Well, okay! This quest is to close the rift on the frozen
river nearby, and is complete after a single rift. I'm still amazed by that.
Still, this rift is close to the city and has been causing trouble.
Approach it and be ready for a ton of Greater Shades. Six of them will charge
at you, so have some area effects and attacks ready for them. The second wave
will also have Greater Shades, but will throw in two Greater Terrors as well.
All in all not bad. Take them out and close this rift to help out the
local town.
Rift at Drakon's Cleft
����������������������
Quest Giver: Exploration
Requirement: None
Reward: 1324 Experience, 600 Influence, +2 Power (Per Rift)
Once you take over Drakon's Rise during the "Taking back the Lion" quest, you
will get this quest. Two more rifts to close nearby. Expect to find Greater
Terrors here as well as Pride Demons. You may even face off against multiple
Pride Demons, so be sure to burn one down before the other to save yourself
time and hassle. Clear both rifts to complete this quest.
Rifts in the Springs
��������������������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: Take over Suledin Keep
Reward: 5076 Experience, 600 Influence, +2 Power (Per Rift)
Once you take over Suledin Keep you'll get this quest, but you can't complete
it until you fix the bridge by Tower Camp (Judicael's Crossing). Two more rifts
to take out, but a nice bump in experience.
The western one has a ton of Greater Shades and at the end a Fear Demon. You
have likely fought this thing before, so not really a big deal. Take the shades
out first so you can stun the fear demon.
The eastern one has a Pride Demon, a Despair Demon and some Wraiths. The
second wave adds in two Pride Demons. Watch out for their lightning whips
and burn the Despair Demon when you can. Stun the Pride Demons. Once you have
sealed both rifts this quest will be done.
Mama's Ring
�����������
Quest Giver: Ring Box
Requirement: None
Reward: 332 Experience, 300 Influence
Once you enter the area for the first time head down into Sahrnia and enter
the house on the left. A woman will be talking to herself about a ring here.
Examine the ring box once she's done and BAM, there's a quest for you. While
you are here, be sure to read the nearby [COMMON CURSES] note as well for a
codex entry.
This quest will then wait awhile until we push further south. Once you take
over the Tower Camp you can head west across the bridge into the town. Here
look for a broken blue house where your search scan will start beeping. There
are notes in the house, and in the corner nearby is the ring. Once you search
the corner you'll get it automatically and some influence. Now, head back to
Sahrnia and give the ring to the owner to complete the quest.
Stalker
�������
Quest Giver: Journal
Requirement: None
Reward: 150 Influence
Another instance where we must look into other people's lives! This quest
starts when you find a journal near a camp to the northwest of Sahrnia (nearby
is a logging stand and Elfsblood Tower, for reference). Read the book on the
ground and the quest will start.
A hunter is after some elusive prey. We of course have to follow. We want to
go southwest from here, but once you are on the ice the small rocks will be
enough to block a straight shot, so head further south and climb the rocks when
you can and head north. You will very likely find Black Wolfs and Great Bears
in this area. Fight through them to the Elven Ruins and search by the statue
to find another journal. Hmmm, the most dangerous game? Once you read the
journal the quest will be over.
Valeska's Watch
���������������
Quest Giver: Exploration
Requirement: None
Reward:
East of the Drakon's Rise camp is a Grey Warden camp. Near red lyrium, you can
find charred bodies and even a codex titled [IN DEATH], which has the Warden
motto on it. Around here though your search beeper will send you to a bit east
to find the Valeska's Watch key, which gives you this quest.
NOTE: By "find the key" we mean follow the search beeper ping. You don't have
to pick up a key to get to get this quest. Or at least BK didn't. We
presume it belonged to one of these bodies?
Enter the tower door nearby to complete the "quest". Pfft..
Head further in to claim the "Valeska's Watch" landmark and the [VALESKA'S
WATCH] codex entry as well. Inside you'll find Darkspawn to kill, which is
always nice. Where in the hell did the warden's go? There is a locked door down
here that requires the "Deft Hands" perk, but you can still go deeper in to
fight more darkspawn at a giant breach, claim the "Deep Road's Entrance"
landmark, and even seal the breach up with a mage. In War, Victory.
Capturing Suledin Keep
����������������������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: Complete "Take Back the Lion".
Reward: Experience, Suledin Keep
Suledin Keep is fairly close from the Tower Camp, which is where you'll be
once you get this quest. Travel west over the bridge to the nearby town and
head beyond it to the front of the keep.
Here you will find Michel battling the demons (don't worry about his health).
Help him kill the enemies out here and talk to him. He'll give you a new quest
called "Call Me Imshael" (Moby Dick reference!) and head off to protect
Sahrnia.
Bust down the door and enter the keep. Slay the guards you find and move
away from the objective, up to some giant (literally) cages. Kill the guards
here. Once they are dead you can read a note nearby. Note that they only lost
ONE giant... yeah.
Search around for some rare foliage called "Felandaris". You can get some by
the giant cage and another by going through the broken wall nearby and looking
around the open area there. Up ahead is (as you can likely see), a giant... an
"Infected Giant". Yikes... he has a good guard of Red Templar too. This is a
good time to use any special skills you may have saved up as well as area of
effect magicks. Heck, even both. Try and take out the templar escort so you can
focus on the giant, then take him down. He isn't much different than a normal
giant when it comes to his attacks, so treat him as you would any other giant.
Continue to the left and stick to the right hand side of this area. You'll
discover a small corner with some knocked-down trees and your search beeper
will begin beeping. It leads to a wall. Funny right? Well, this is actually
where you need to use the nearby tree leaning against the wall to climb up
to it. This is a bit tricky actually, but once you get on the tree go slow
and stead and get up to the broken wall for a [BOTTLE OF THEDAS]. Heh.
Nearby are some red tents. Be sure to check inside them for the [SULEDIN
KEEP DOCUMENTS]. Head past the arch and get ready for another fight with a
group of Red Templars and a giant. You'll only fight templars for a short
while but the giant will soon jump in. Lay out the templars quickly so you
can focus on him. We are near the keep itself now: nearby you can enter the
lower part of the keep where they keep provisions. Here look around for books
including updates to the keep documents and [THE FIRST BLIGHT: CHAPTER FOUR].
There are also [CHEST x2] down here: one that is easy to get by the stairs and
one up on the higher shelves. You can reach it with some tricky jumping by using
the railing by the first chest. Don't fall!
Head up the stairs further into the keep to find some Templar Horrors in the
courtyard. Take them out. The narrow space here may seem ideal to holding, but
they pose a big ranged threat, so rush them and thin their numbers. Loot the
[CHEST] in the corner nearby and press on.
Several doors later you'll find a Red Templar Behemoth with some horrors and
templars. This IS a good spot to use the narrow paths and stairways to corral
and protect weaker team-mates, especially as the behemoth starts up the stairs
when you find him. Separate and challenge him with your tank while everyone else
slaughters the other enemies, then focus on the behemoth. Easy. Continue to the
right now and you'll run into Imshael.
Here Imshael will tempt you into making a deal rather than continuing all of
this tasteless violence. You wouldn't make a deal with a demon... would you...?

Imshael
Health: 87021
Defense: 59
Vulnerability: Varies
Immunity: Varies
Strategy
��������
Imshael is a rather shifty demo...er, SPIRIT who having failed to bribe you
will no attempt to destroy you> Good luck with that, Imshael!
Still, Imshael can put a hurt on you. At the start of the fight there are two
Red Templar Horrors to your left and right which we recommend you take out
as soon as possible. Let your tank challenge Imshael and hold him while you
take them out (we don't need them bombarding us while we fight).
Imshael himself will spawn Fearlings to pester us and has a tendency to warp
around attacking people. Aside from the burst damage (which is easily covered
with a barrier) this form isn't much of a threat. Note that he has no resistance
or vulnerability here, so go wild.
After chipping away about a third of his life (or less), he will switch forms
to a gigantic Rage Demon. This form inherits the vulnerabilities and strengths
of a normal Rage Demon, so if you can freeze and shatter him for major damage.
Watch out for his fire attacks here and stat spread out. He will use a barrier
move in this form as well that dispel won't work on, so attack through it.
After you've gone through roughly another third of his life he'll move onto
his last form: a Pride Demon. Again, this form inherits all of the Pride
Demon's traits, so cut out any lightning attacks. He has all of the Pride Demon
moves here including the whip and lightning orbs. However, he can also give
himself a full bar of guard, so you'll have to eat through that before you can
finally get to his last remaining bit of health and put him down. Not a big
challenge with a good tank as you can keep him occupied the whole time, but
the guard guarantees he lives for a little while at least!
Once he is dead your "Call me Imshael" quest will be updated to talk to Michel
and report back to him. Also be sure to loot him for [PURE SPIRIT ESSENCE x3],
an [AMULET OF POWER] for Cole, and the unique shield [MARCH OF THE EVERLASTING].
Very nice.
Back to the quest!
Continue on up the stairs after your battle to meet a dying Red Templar. You
can learn a bit about Imshael here, if you wish. After that, plant the flag
to claim Suledin Keep for the Inquisition and finish this quest.
NOTE: Be sure to talk to the Baron here afterward (kind-of like the captain
in charge of the keep) for the "They Shall Not Pass" quest. You'll also
get the "Rifts in the Springs" quest automatically. Nearby the Baron is
a book with the [TRADING WITH KAL-SHAROK] codex as well.
Rocky Rescue
������������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: Complete "Take Back the Lion".
Reward: 1324 Experience, 600 Influence
From the Tower Camp, head south to find the quarry. You will soon see that
the Red Templars are on guard here. Just seeing this gives you the "Red Captors"
quest down below, which we'll be doing with this quest since we are of course
going to be liberating villagers while killing their captors.
Kill the guards at the front of the quarry and then head in. The first villagers
are in a cart just ahead here. You'll have to use a rogue to pick the lock here
to free Villagers 1/7 (we are numbering these).
Note that to the right is a white tower. Pay it a visit and look around with
your search bar as the corner here has a [BOTTLE OF THEDAS]. There's a note
nearby and a [CHEST] at the top.
Head back out and from here take the right path leading up. We're going to take
a small detour. Follow the cliff wall as it leads down to a cave opening, then
follow the cave to the end to find a Veil Fire Brazier. Light this and take the
fire back through the cave keeping an eye on the left hand wall and you'll find
the [SUPERB FROST RUNE] on the way. Sweet.
Head back to the entrance and then keep going downhill to find the first (our
first) Red Templar Lieutenant. Kill him and his cronies for Lieutenant 1/5 (we
will number these too, for the "Red Captors" quest). Be sure to hit up the
[CHEST] nearby and then continue down the path to reach another open area with
another lieutenant. Kill him off. Watch for the archer up above. Once Lieutenant
2/5 is done, free Villagers 2/7 from the nearby cage. There is also a [CHEST]
nearby. From here, climb the ladder to the right and enter the hut. Your search
beeper will be active! Use it when you are close to the table to find some notes
to read. This actually gives us the quest "Quarry Quandary". We'll handle that
later though. Grab the [CHEST] here. Don't worry about climbing further up as
there is nothing there.
Head down and continue on. At the path split head left to find Villagers 3/7
as well as a dying woman. Talk to here to get the "Words Not Hollow" quest
before she passes, the loot the [CHEST]. From the cage, head right, but down
the path (not up). This leads to another quarry work area, but you are above
the guards and Lieutenant 3/5 this time. You can lay traps for them as they
climb up to you if you wish, or use this height to your advantage. Kill them
off and free the Villagers 4/7 here.
Now, nearby is another secret note. Or at least a note with secrets! Head
east up the hill and once you get past the wooden door, turn around and use
the rock to jump onto the roof. Follow it back the way you came to reach a
set of boxes with a note on them. This gives you the "Caged Confession" quest,
which again we'll handle once we're done with the quarry (so many quests!).
Head back east and follow the path to another group of templars. Kill them
all for Lieutenant 4/5 and then you can free Villagers 5/7. Getting close to
being done here! East there is a boarded walkway to the last lieutenant, but
head north a bit and aim for the landmark nearby, up on the rocks overlooking
the quarry, to get the "Sahrnia Quarry" landmark (may as well while we are
here). You can also fight some templar trash to the north if you wish. They
are guarding a [CHEST] up there.
Head back to the last cage and east to the wooden walkway. Drop down here and
fight the templars and kill the last Lieutenant 5/5. That will complete the
"Red Captors" quest. You can free Villagers 6/7 here too. Also, climb the
ladder you came from and your search beeper will go active. Look up the ramp
here to find a hidden note for the [LETTER ABOUT LYRIUM] codex entry.
Head north now through the ravine to some more enemies. Take them out and
then free the Villagers 7/7. This officially completes this quest, but before
you head off climb the eastern ladder and your search ping will go off. There
is a note nearby, but we're not done. Go up the ladder and follow the ramp to
the end to find the [LETTER OF CONFIRMATION] codex at the very end.
Red Captors
�����������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: Start "Rocky Rescue"
Reward: 600 Influence, +2 Power
This quest is done in conjunction with the quest "Rocky Rescue", up above.
In it, you have to kill off five Red Templar Lieutenants. We cover where they
are in the Rocky Rescue quest though, to streamline things for you, so follow
that quest and you'll finish this one as well.
Sifting Through Rubble
����������������������
Quest Giver: Note
Requirement: None
Reward: Superb Lifeward Amulet, 150 Influence
After you take the Tower Camp, head west to the town. Here, look inside the
nearby yellow house on the left to find a note. Read it to get this quest.
Seems like we're going to go treasure hunting.
This is going to have to wait a bit though... or at least until we repair
the bridge with the Judicael's Crossing operation. Once you have repaired the
bridge, cross it and at the end, explore the left side. Your search beeper will
be active here. Use it near the rubble to find the Superb Lifeward Amulet and
complete the quest.
Turning the Tables
������������������
Quest Giver: Note
Requirement: None
Reward: Experience, 150 Influence
Once you take over the Tower Camp, you can get to this quest. From the camp
head west over the bridge and into the nearby town. Just after the bridge,
take a right and go to the boulders. Jump over them and search for a note by
a tree, overlooking the gorge. You will get this quest after reading what the
poor huntress is enduring...
The second location we need to visit is near the quarry. Best held off until
you decide to do Rocky Rescue. Once you do, be sure to stop by and do this
quest as well. Right past the entrance head right, like you are going to the
nearby white tower, then head south. Look for the huntress' camp among the
trees out here to find a second note. Reading this ends the quest and lets
you know what happened.
Call Me Imshael
���������������
Quest Giver: Michel
Requirement: Talk to Michel about Imshael at the Sahrnia Camp.
Reward: Agent: Michel, 150 Influence, +3 Power
This quest is important to get for the Agent waiting at the end of it, but
most of it is done during the quest "Capturing Suledin Keep". So, to best
serve you, make sure you get this quest by talking to Michel when you do that
quest and carry on with that quest until Imshael is taken care of.
Once he is gone, head back to Michel and report his passing. In doing so you
will gain an agent and a small little cutscene, as well as some minor power
and influence. Whee!
They Shall Not Pass
�������������������
Quest Giver: Baron Desiardins
Requirement: Take over Suledin Keep.
Reward: Access to new area.
Talk to the Baron after taking over the keep and explore all of his dialog
options to get this quest. A nearby bridge called Judicael's Crossing has
been destroyed, restricting our access to the area. Lovely.
This bridge is just to the east of the Tower Camp. Go inspect it to get an
operation in the War Table room to repair it. It will cost 10 power to do,
but takes no time and can be done ASAP. Once it is done this quest is over.
Quarry Quandary
���������������
Quest Giver: Note
Requirement: None
Reward: 150 Influence.
This quest is gotten by finding a certain note in the quest "Rocky Rescue".
It... makes a certain someone look bad. Once you find the note, hold off on
the quest until you are done at the quarry.
Once you are done there head back to Sahrnia and talk to Mistress Poulin.
Here you can choose the dialog you wish. Whatever sounds right to you. Your
current companions may or may not agree (Blackwall and Cole at the very least
will slightly approve the "how dare you!" / "nothing makes that right!" reply).
Once you are done talking to her, this quest will be complete.
Words Not Hollow
����������������
Quest Giver: Infected Woman
Requirement: None
Reward: 331 Experience, 150 Influence
This quest is also gotten when doing the quest "Rocky Rescue".
Once you are done with everything in the quarry, head back to Sahrnia and
head outside the town into the wilderness. Just to the west, on the edge of
the frozen lake, is a dead tree. Go place the woman's letter here to keep
your promise and complete this quest.
Caged Confession
����������������
Quest Giver: Note
Requirement: None
Reward: None
This quest is found when doing the quest "Rocky Rescue"... just like the two
quests up above were...
Once you are done playing around at the quarry, head bach to Sahrnia. Here
you will find Louis and Linette, both chilling at a campfire, glad to be
freed. You have a choice here: give Louis back his confession or tell Linette
what really became of her brother.
Either way the quest will be complete, so what you do in the end is really
up to you. Which is more important to you? Your current companions may either
disagree or agree with you (Blackwall at the very least slightly disapproves if
you tell Linette but slightly approves if you give the letter back to Louis).
Choose what you feel like to complete this quest.
Hivernal
��������
Quest Giver: None
Requirement: None
Reward: See Loot table below.
NOTE: This is not a named quest in the game.
This is a High Dragon of Emprise du Lion. It is found easily after repairing
the bridge near Towers Camp. In fact, it is on top of the coliseum-looking
building and you can climb your way up to it. Much like the Greater Mistral,
the Hivernal is an ice dragon.
As always, your party should be around the dragons level before you attempt
this (the higher the better of course - class specializations are helpful). Any
ice resistance items you have should be worn, and everyone should be stocked to
the brim with potions before you take him on.
Are you ready? We are! Let's go slay us another dragon!

��������
The Hivernal is an ice-based dragon, and as such he will have many of the same
"breath attacks" that we've seen other dragons do, just in ice form. He is also
vulnerable to fire, which helps a ton if you have a mage with fire skills and
a fire staff (equip before you go it!). Warriors with Earthshaking Strike will
also appreciate this (which is BK!). This dragon is very similar to the Greater
Mistral Dragon that you may have already fought (or if not, you will find it
will be similar).
Hivernal has many dragon attacks (other than the breath) that you have likely
seen. These include swiping any one of its four claws at us (and anyone who
happens to be nearby), swinging its tail in a large arc, and flapping its wings
to bring us in closer and damage us with the wind (mostly annoying for ranged
and/or mage characters as warriors can stay in the middle with the dragon and
be safe).
The previous two paragraphs up above are rather bland "dragon" descriptions
and to be perfectly honest that is because Hivernal is quite bland. Most
dragons have guard and/or special tricks to their arena... not Hivernal. He
will use his breath and claw/tail attacks on you like any other dragon but
that is it. He is fairly unremarkable! Like other dragons he will often leap
around the arena when he takes a spike of damage, which will make you chase him
and waste good area of effect abilities. he will also fly off when at certain
points in the battle and shoot ice balls at you before landing to continue the
fight. Again, very normal things for a dragon...
Like we've said before: Keep your fighters spread out, use potions smartly and
use fire attacks when you can. Use your most powerful skills and focus attacks.
Despite his increased level, Hivernal should pose less of a problem than any
dragon you've fought with up to now (Provided you are dragon-experienced and of
a comparable level! This is even proven given the reduced XP amount below!).
As a side note, we were disappointed that the small like here didn't freeze
over whenever Hivernal breathed on it. That seemed like a wasted opportunity
to make the fight and area that much cooler...

on top of the second coliseum-looking building.
As always, your party should be around the dragons level before you attempt
this (the higher the better of course - class specializations are helpful). Any
ice resistance items you have should be worn, and everyone should be stocked to

Whereas Hivernal was, well... a disappointment, Kaltenzahn does his best to
make up for it (he is an ice dragon too, after all... someone has to make up
over Hivernal!). Kaltenzahn not only looks way cooler, but is also quite a bit
tougher. To start off with, he has all of the basic dragon attacks: he will
swipe at you with his legs and tail, hitting anyone that happens to be nearby.
He also has the wind attack that sucks ranged characters in (warriors still
love this attack). And of course there is the breath attack. Kaltenzahn will
of course use ice breath and spit ice balls, but his ice breath attack is
longer and more impressive than Hivernals...
What really sets Kaltenzahn apart are his extra moves. Like other dragons we
have run across, Kaltenzahn will use guard to give himself a huge chunk of
extra life to wear down, and of course he'll do it multiple times throughout
the fight. The other thing that caught us off guard (that we've seen before,
but not often) was that Kaltenzahn will actually screech during the fight and
summon several Dragonlings to come assist him.
The screech will stun the party for a few seconds... just long enough for the
dragonlings to appear. Assuming you are playing a non-tank character, you
should immediately focus on the dragonlings and kill them as soon as you can,
only going back to Kaltenzahn once they are dead. The last thing we need is a
Dragonling killing someone when we aren't aware!
Other than that this fight is pretty standard. Kaltenzahn doesn't do a lot of
leaping around, preferring to do the twist-motion that we've seen some other
dragons do before (which is still rather odd... but works to get him out of
area of effect spells and abilities easily enough). He will also leave and fly
around the area at certain points during the fight, but that is farily normal.
The biggest thing to watch out for is his dragonlings. As long as you can keep
yoru fighters spread out and take the dragonlings down fast, you will triumph
over Kaltenzahn eventually.
Once again we were disappointed that the small like here didn't freeze over
whenever ice attacks hit it. We'll give Kaltenzahn props for using the archway
nearby to land on once during the fight though. Very classy!

This is the THIRD High Dragon of Emprise du Lion. Don't worry, this is the
last one. Still, dragons are a great thing, right? Right!?
To find this dragon, head to the very northern (northeastern part of the map,
north of the 2nd coliseum, up to the third! You may be tempted to go through
the easy-to-reach archs but it is quite the drop! You are fighting down below,
so do yourself a favor and go counter-clockwise around the structure to find
the ground entrance.
As always, your party should be around the dragons level before you attempt
this (the higher the better of course - class specializations are helpful). Any

If you barely lived through Kaltenzahn, Highland Ravager will destroy you.
Just a friendly heads-up. If you got through Kaltenzahn fairly easily, this
should be a good challenge.
The Ravager switches things up by being a proper fire-breathing dragon. Weird!
Ravager has (surprise!) every move you'd expect out of a dragon. EVERY move.
The basics are of course all in place: swiping with all four paws with long,
sweeping strokes. Well-telegraphed ahead of time. Tail lashing. Wing flapping.
You know the basics by now of course. Ravager also doesn't care about either
twisting or jumping around. He'll do both to get out of trouble if he has to.
One thing Ravager won't do that you may be used to is leaving. Usually dragons
tend to fly away during a part of the fight but not Ravager. It may be because
he really has nowhere to go!
The Ravager will also use guard during the fight. Of course he does! This is
rough to eat through, but do-able. He'll do it multiple times of course. The
Ravager also has a special (NEW!) move: multiple circles of fire (let's just
call these fire rings!). Throughout the fight, you'll see the Ravager rear its
head up and three good-sized circles appear on the ground. After a few seconds
those circles will become engulfed in flames! They actually don't hurt very
much, but will burn you and knock you down. Best to move when you see it coming
of course. Later on in the fight, once its health gets low, three circles will
turn into four circles, so be ready!
One last trick the Ravager has up its sleeve, as if everything above wasn't
enough, is to call its minions to the battle, much like Kaltenzahn. These
minions will always show up from the entrance, and if not met will do ranged
attacks for a little while before engaging. Since you know where they are
going to show up every time, it is wise to go meet and kill them when you
can.
This fight is undoubtedly the hardest of all three here. Due to the increased
level / HP / defense, it may be wise to bring two mages to this fight. Speaking
from experience, double mages with barrier/revive and ice attacks can make all
the difference here. The barrier and revive overlapping alone can really buff
up your group. This is especially potent if you are playing casually and not
micro-managing every move.
Like always, keep your fighters spread out, use potions wisely and use cold
attacks when you can. Use your most powerful skills and focus attacks. No need

Quest Giver: Journal
Requirement: None
Reward: 10152 Experience, 2500 Influence, +3 Power, Sulevin Blade
This quest will guide you through the area called the "Cradle of Sulevin".
You get this quest (and new area) by doing the "Rumors of the Sulevin Blade"
operation at the War Table, which unlocks this area. This this area is all for
this quest, we are adding it to this section.
NOTE: If you need to get the above operation, see our "Taking back the Lion"
quest up above to find the journal you need to access the operation.
The quest we are doing here is called Ruined Blade, and we need to find four
pieces of it. Head forward and examine the statue. Need Veil Fire. Continue
forward to the back of the area (watch out for the holes!). You may need to
kill a poison spider on the way. At the back is some loot, [CHEST x2] to the
left, and Veil Fire! Light it up and light up the nearby statue!
A Revenant will attack here. Kill it off and loot it for [SWORD PIECE 1/4].
Now, head back to the beginning and light up the first similar statue you ran
across. Yep, another Revenant, this time with corpses! Take them all out for
[SWORD PIECE 2/4].
Next up head to the left-side of this area where you'll find some stairs that
lead down to the "Hall of the Dead". Take the Veil Fire with you and light the
brazier down here (this area looks SO cool). Down below are corpses wandering
around, so kill them all and search around for various loot, then head to the
area you lit up to find a third statue. Light it up and take out the Revenant
and corpses for [SWORD PIECE 3/4].
Head back up to the main area now and then up the stairs nearby in the middle.
On the wall is something you can read for the [VIR TAANDHAL: THE WAY OF THREE
TREES] codes entry. There are more entries to be had up here, as well as loot.
Grab them all and go across the way, to the other side. This is the Sunlit
Chamber area. Up above is loot, but down below is much more loot and another
statue. Hold off on the statue for now and explore the edges of this lower area
with your Veil Fire to find a TON of rooms with loot and chests. Seriously, a
ton (we aren't even going to list the chests here). There is one room that does
require a rogue to unlock, and it is the most important room. This is because
it has the [SUPERB SPIRIT RUNE] inside of it as well as a [MOSIAC PIECE] from
the "Freed Are Slaves" set. Be sure to visit THAT room at the very least.
Once you area ready, go hit the statue with the fire and take down the fourth
Revenant. Easy as pie. He drops [SWORD PIECE 4/4]. So... what do we do with all
of these pieces? Take them to someone who can use them of course! From here you
will get a 500 Influence reward, but we need to travel back to Skyhold and go
see Dagna. Talk with here to officially finish the quest and collect your
rewards, including the awesome Sulevin Blade.

Space... Vast amounts of space is probably the best description for The Hissing

of a very unique Dwarven Thaig, the Venatori forces are combing this space for
artifacts that can help The Old One's cause. We must make sure these items fall
to the inquisition, but finding anything of worth in these sands will be quite
the challenge.

Artifact Requisition in the Wastes
����������������������������������
Quest Giver: Requisition Officer
Requirement: Be in The Hissing Wastes
Reward: Influence, +1 Power
This one is a bit different, and when it comes to requisitions, different is
good! We need to find Dwarven items in the wastes. This includes one of the
following: Dwarven Toy Soldier, Dwarven Dragon Statuette, Dwarven Vace, and a
Dwarven Plate.
These actually aren't too hard to find (we found them before establishing our
third camp in the area, for example). Enemies have a chance and dropping each
of these, as well as getting them from loot in the area. Just visit a few
Venatori camps and you'll have them soon enough.
Lazurite Survey in in the Wastes
��������������������������������
Quest Giver: Requisition Officer
Requirement: Be in The Hissing Wastes
Reward: Influence, +1 Power
Lazurite is VERY easy to find, and you only need 10 of them. The stuff is
everywhere. Volcanic Aurum can be found in the canyons, by The Canyon Camp (or
south of it, anyways... its fairly easy to find in that area). Once you have
the required amount, turn it in to complete the quest.
Shelter Requisition in in the Wastes
������������������������������������
Quest Giver: Requisition Officer
Requirement: Be in The Hissing Wastes
Reward: Influence, +1 Power
This quest is mainly accomplished by killing the local wildlife! Ram leather,
Fennec Fur and Gurn Hides all come from the local game, so kill away! Ghoul's
Beard you may likely have already, but if not you can often find some growing
on the dead trees in this zone. It can be pretty rare to spot down south,
although there is some to the east of the logging camp (and you only need one).
After killing enough local wildlife and finding one Ghoul's Beard, turn this
in to complete the quest.
Nevarrite Survey in in the Wastes
���������������������������������
Quest Giver: Requisition Officer
Requirement: Be in The Hissing Wastes
Reward: Influence, +1 Power
Nevarrite is pretty easy to find here in the rocky / mountainous areas of this
map, never mind the fact that you may already have some of it. Both of these
things are good as you need 20 to complete this quest (and by the way, it is
very surprising to see FOUR requisition quests in one area!). Volcanic Aurum
can be found in the canyons, by The Canyon Camp (or south of it, anyways...
its fairly easy to find in that area). Once you have the required amount, turn
it in to complete the quest.

The Tomb of Fairel
������������������
Quest Giver: Scout Harding
Requirement: Travel to The Hissing Wastes
Reward: 200 Influence, +3 Power, MANY unique items.
This is one of the quests you get by coming to the area. In fact, this is THE
quest of the area: it is not only long, but very rewarding and will take us
everywhere on this map. Harding will mention that there are Venatori in the
area looking for something... which means we have to beat them to it. She also
found a map and gives us this particular quest, titled [SKETCH OF FOUR PILLAR
TOMB].
Now, this quest DOES NOT hold our hand at all... but that's OK, because you
have BK and Noz3r0 here to help you! This quest is all about tomb raiding! We
are going to locate and solve several puzzles that allow us into tombs, and
by doing this we will eventually get into the "Tomb of Fairel", which is what
our ultimate goal is.
The sketch we got... the sketch of four pillars... doesn't really help us out
at all. That being said, BEFORE YOU WORRY ABOUT THIS QUEST, you should instead
focus on the rifts and camps of this area. This quest is best reference while
exploring. Alternatively, you can follow this quest and take time-outs to do
other things in the areas we lead you to. Up to you.
Like Scout Harding mentions, our first step for this quest should be to head
to the Sand Crags Camp. This is to the north (although we recommend going to
the Logging Camp to the northwest first). Once you get to Sand Crags Camp and
kill the Venatori here, examine the tables nearby. You will find some notes
that will give you the [DEMONS OF THE STONE] codex / warning (this is a serious
warning, just so you know!) and the [SKETCH OF SUNTOP MOUNTAIN TOMB]. That
sketch is again not going to help us anytime soon...
Head down into the tomb here now and we'll have our first puzzle room. These
are pretty simple: four glyphs to read with four lanterns nearby. We must light
the lanterns in the right order to make the four story glyphs make sense as one
story. Pretty simple, right?
Go ahead and light the lanterns here in this order:
1. This is the tale of Fairel, Paragon among Paragons, father of two sons,
2. Who, against their father's wishes, fought from foolish words and foolish
pride.
3. For pride these halls were made - to honor a father's deeds, and grieve
his loss.
4. And for loss these halls were made, to honor a brother mourned.
NOTE: Completing the puzzle unlocks the [DWARVEN INSCRIPTIONS: HISSING WASTES]
codex entries. As we go through this quest, we will update this codex
quite a bit. Just be aware.
NOTE: Doing any of these glyphs (or any upcoming glyphs) in the wrong order
will spawn "Tomb Guardians". "Burning Tomb Guardian" and "Ancient Tomb
Guardian" (Basically Rage Demons and Shades). This goes for upcoming
puzzles as well.
The nearby vault door will open up now, leading to a room with a [MOSIAC PIECE]
(The Sacrifice Set... we'll see a lot of these throughout this quest) and a
[CHEST]. This particular chest gives us a torn paper that turns into the [MAP
OF TOMB OF FAIREL] codex, [KEY FRAGMENT 1/5], and the [SUPERB RING OF ATTACK].
See that key? Yep, we have to find four more of them. The Tomb of Fairel itself
is to the far east of the Sand Crags Camp, just so you know. We will head there
once we have all five keys.
Next up let us explore the the "Graveyard". This isn't marked on the map for
us at all (BK actually explored this last, but the order doesn't matter), but
it is pretty closeby! The Graveyard area is just south of the Logging Camp.
There are some giant Dwarven Statues and a set of stairs leading up to it
proper, although you can find it by climbing up the hills and mountains as
well. We'll also note that the "Sketch of Burial Grounds Tomb" codex (the
"map" for this tomb") is in the Venatori Camp just to the southwest of The
Canyon Camp.
Here, you will find sets of pillars scattered around. The story glyphs here
are spread out as well. There is a central campfire here though, which you
should search around to find a [BOTTLE OF THEDAS]. There is also a landmark
nearby called "The Empty Square".
Now, for the puzzle! Find the veil fire from the tomb to the west, then...
1. Fariel's sons built monuments to their father, locking away his great
works,
2. And worked together, for a time, side by side. Each ruled half the thaig,
3. But each ruled differently. They argued, and heated words made the
brothers duel,
4. And where one brother fell, the other raised bloodied axe in hand, alone.
The nearby vault will open. Enter to find another [MOSIAC PIECE] and a [CHEST].
This particular chest has the [DWARVEN BANNER CROWN], [KEY FRAGMENT 2/5], and
the unique [SUPERB RING OF CRITICAL DAMAGE].
The next closest tomb is in the canyon. Yep, IN the canyon, near the absentee
merchant shop. Head over there and kill the massive amount of spiders at the
entrance. In the back you'll find our third puzzle:
1. After many years Fairel, greatest of Paragons, could not bear life's
burden.
2. And with the burden growing, he called his sons to his bedside.
3. He bade each son swear he would take care of his brother,
4. And the brothers swore, and mourned when their father returned to the stone.
Once you put that together the vault will open up. We'll get another [MOSIAC
PIECE] of course, as well as another [CHEST]. This chest will give us a
[DWARVEN BANNER], [KEY FRAGMENT 3/5], and the unique [SUPERB RING OF GUARD
PENETRATION]. Good stuff.
Next up is the Mountain Fortress tomb. This requires some exploration to the
north, so we recommend you have at least the southern rifts defeated and are
ready to head north. It is the camp north of the Sand Crags Camp and is of
course named the Mountain Fortress Camp.
There is an entrance to a ruin nearby, but it has collapsed in. Read the
note to see excavation has begun from above, meaning we need to head UP the
mountain to the top. Follow the path and head up there, kill the Venatori you
find and you'll see a ladder heading down into the ruins like we were told.
Head down and take the veil fire with you. You will find a journal down here
for the "Notes on the Waste" quest that you may as well grab (although we cover
that quest down below in its own area). In the next large room though, BEFORE
you go down another ladder, search the walls to find the hidden [SUPERB FIRE
RUNE]. Head down the ladder now.
In this lower area, loot what you can and check the corners for a [MOSIAC
PIECE] from the Sacrifice set. There is also an elven relic down here you
should activate. Head through the door you find to come to the puzzle room:
1. The sun burned above oceans of sand,
2. But in the sand was stone, strong and true.
3. Fairel hewed the stone, and built - as great as any thaig in the deep.
4. And with his sons' help, he ensured the thaig prospered and grew.
Once the vault opens up, grab the [MOSIAC PIECE] and then open the [CHEST].
This one has [KEY FRAGMENT 4/5] and the unique [SUPERB BELT OF MELEE DEFENSE].
Good for your tank, if you want. Only one key left to find!
From here you should explore to the north (the Sunstop Mountains Camp) and
finish the "Sand and Ruin" quest. You should also wipe up the rifts and get
every camp in this area at this point, as well as the "Let's Slay the Beast"
quest. This is a good time to do all of that.
Once you are ready for the last tomb, head to The Statue Camp and head
north. North to the giant colossus, which has the tomb at the bottom of it.
Kill all of the spiders you find, pick up the veil fire and head inward to
the final puzzle room:
1. Fairel, Paragon, fled from the strife his brilliance created,
2. The strife that destroyed thaigs, sundered houses, from weapons that
clan used against clan.
3. His own clan and his two sons followed Fairel to the pitiless surface,
4. The surface where they would hide from the war that took their home.
This opens up the last vault. Claim the [MOSIAC PIECE] and open the [CHEST].
This one has [KEY FRAGMENT 5/5] and the unique [SUPERB RING OF BLEEDING].
Now, to locate the actual Tomb of Fairel. From the Sand Crags Camp, head
east. It is quite a ways away, but you'll know you are close once you pass
through a tunnel guarded by dwarven statues (or, well, a passage... not really
a tunnel). You'll get the pop-up notification for the "Tomb of Fairel" area
as well.
Once you get that, your party will note the obvious guttural sounds nearby...
yes, there is a Dragon here. Fitting, right? All that work has to be guarded
by SOMETHING! Before you worry about that though, nearby there is a crumbing
dwarven structure. The pillars nearby. Head over to them and ping your search
ability to see something respond. This is one of the journal pages for the
"Notes on the Waste" quest. May as well grab it now.
Now... to reach the tomb we are going to have to go through the dragon. You
want to kill him anyways, right? Good... let's do this!

So, you want to get to the tomb of Fariel, huh? Well... Sandy Howler may
have something to say about that.
To be honest, Sandy Howler is a fairly average dragon, in comparison to what
we have been fighting up to now. For example, if you have cleared the dragons
at Emprise Du Lion, you shouldn't have any problem here.
Sandy Howler is a fire-breathing dragon, and so he is also vulnerable to cold
attacks, a fact your mage can take advantage of. Sandy Howler features almost
every move we've ever seen a dragon do. This of course includes swiping at
you with all four claws depending on where you are and doing a tail sweep. It
will also flap its wings to draw you in, which is of course a boon for warrior
characters and an annoyance for anyone else.
Sandy Howler will buff himself up with armor throughout the fight, forcing
you to break through it periodically. One quirk with him though is that he
WILL NOT fly off when he loses health, which is weird since he has a ton of
air space that he leaves unused. Oh well. Once he drops below 50% health,
Sandy Howler will begin to add in a screech-attack. This stuns everyone and
calls in several dragonlings to cause havoc. These can come in from any area
around the fight, so be ready for them and try to take them out as soon as you
can.
Sandy Howler will also use various fire attacks from time to time. This is
mainly through a stream of fire breath that he will spread back and forth,
but he can also shoot out fireballs.
Like always, keep your fighters spread out, use potions wisely and use cold
attacks when you can. Use your most powerful skills and focus attacks,
especially when he is flapping and/or using his fire breath. Remember to use
your focus attacks! Once you take him down you will get the loot below.
Loot: 3,854 Experience, 3000 Influence, +4 Power, Robes of the High Keeper,
Superb Stamina Amulet, Armor of the Knights-Divine, Amulet of Power
(Varric ONLY), Frost Rune, Pure Dragon Blood x8, Dragon's Tooth x4,
Dragon Webbing x14, Dragon Scales x20, Dragon Bone x18
Once the dragon is dead, head east to the tomb door. Open it up with the key
you have assembled. Inside is a [MOSIAC PIECE] and a [CHEST]. Yep, one chest.
This chest has the unique dagger [PROMISE OF THE STORM], the [SUPERB RING OF
BARRIER PENETRATION] and the [SUPERB DEMON SLAYING RUNE]. The rune is the
Paragon's treasure... which we have now acquired.
With that the quest will be complete, giving you 2000 Influence and +3 Power.
Congrats on uncovering the paragon's secret.
Sand and Ruin
�������������
Quest Giver: Scout Harding
Requirement: Travel to The Hissing Wastes
Reward: 1500 Influence, +6 Power, Bloodwake, Amulet of Power
This quest isn't really the "main" quest in the area... it's more of an
attempt by the inquisitor to learn what the heck the Venatori are doing out
in this god-forsaken wasteland... however, you do get a good tour a decent
trek of the area by following this quest and besides all of the Venatori you
will undoubtedly kill you'll also get map pieces and codex entries that WILL
help you with the "main quest" of this area (the main quest being the quest
"The Tomb of Fairel", of course.
The first real step of this quest is to head north to the Sand Crags Camp,
which is the first real camp after The Cove Camp and a great place to pick
up a handful of quests. There are tables nearby here that have items on them,
such as the [FOLDED LETTER] codex. Just reading this gets you 600 Influence
and +2 power as well as spreads the quest out a bit by giving you two more
places to visit.
NOTE: Be sure you check out the ruins nearby for a [MOSIAC PIECE], part of
The Sacrifice set.
Next, let us head to The Canyon Camp, which is to the west. Best to set up
camp and then worry about this quest (you can also do the "Let's Slay the
Beast" quest easily from here).
To the southwest is another ruin. More venatori, but you can slaughter them
easily enough. There are more notes and books in the camps here, including
the [SKETCH OF CANYON TOMB] map and the [SKETCH OF BURIAL GROUNDS TOMB], both
of which are map codex entries. You get 150 Influence here too. Tack it onto
the reward!
The next objective on this quest is near the camp to the very north. It is
best to do whatever you wish in the southern part of this area before heading
up there, just because it is easy. Once you do head up there you will want to
focus on taking over the camp, which turns into the "Sunstop Mountains Camp".
Near the camp construction marker is a table with some books on it. Inspect
them for the [SKETCH OF COLOSSUS TOMB] map / codex and the "Venatori Orders",
which helps a lot in figuring out what they are up to. You will get a whopping
600 Influence and +2 Power for reading these.
The marker will now be to the east! There is a rift out there as well you may
as well take care of, but further out that way is a BIG venatori camp! You can
battle quite a few of them here! There are a couple of things worth pointing
out at the big camp: look around the main areas for a [MOSIAC PIECE] (another
one of the sacrifice series) on a stool, and also look for a [BOTTLE OF THEDAS]
near the campfire (you have to find this with your search ping). Both are
pretty easy to find once you clear the place out.
In the back of the camp is an Elite "Overseer" mob. Basically the boss of all
these goons. He is a lightning mage, and like all mages you should watch out
for his mines. He has some melee companions, so take them out quickly and then
incapacitate him to limit the damage he can do. Watch your feet and you'll be
OK. As a plus, once you kill him you can find the unique staff [BLOODWAKE] on
his corpse as well as an [AMULET OF POWER], for Dorian ONLY.
Nearby on a table is a note with the [DRAFT OF LETTER TO VENATORI MAGISTERS],
which cements once and for all what they are doing here. And for who! And who
all may be involved. Go figure. With that said, the main quest "The Tomb of
Fairel" is all the more important. You will get 150 Influence and +2 Power at
this point, which we add to the grand total above.
With all of that done, this quest is complete.
Rifts Near the Cove
�������������������
Quest Giver: Scout Harding
Requirement: Travel to The Hissing Wastes
Reward: 1324 Experience, 600 Influence, +2 Power (Per Rift)
Our initial rifts mission! These rifts are fairly close, up to the north.
Three of them. Not too bad! This is in fact a great quest to start off the
area with, as it takes you north and lets you explore a bit.
The western rift has a Pride and Rage Demon. Two targets! Not bad. Take them
out and prepare for wave two, which is the same thing but with Wraiths added
in as well.
The eastern rift has Wraiths and a Despair Demon for you. If he flees, just
stun him. The second wave is THREE Despair Demons. Man, we hate these things.
Some will likely flee, so stay close to the rift so you can stun.
Finally the northern rift. You will likely run into Venatori on your way up
there. Once you get there it will be a Pride Demon with some Greater Terrors.
Wave two has a Pride Demon and Lesser Terrors but two Despair Demons as well.
Take them all out to complete the quest.
Rifts Near the Canyon
���������������������
Quest Giver: Exploration
Requirement: None
Reward: 1324 Experience, 600 Influence, +2 Power (Per Rift)
You will get this quest when you get to The Canyon Camp... or when you tackle
one of the rifts (ideally). Three more rifts to tackle. Let's get to it!
The western rift had three Greater Terrors. Easy enough, especially when they
are on fire! The second wave has only one, but two Pride Demons! Yikes! Fire
and Cold area attacks work well here. Try to group them up in it and hit them
together.
The northern rift has a Rage and a Pride Demon. Very easy. The second wave is
the same but just adds Wraiths. This is similar to one of the Cove rifts,
really.
The southern rife near the hunter has a TON of Greater Shades. Hit them with
area skills and be wary of them overwheming your AI companions. The second
wave adds in some Terrors. Keep to the area skills and magics to wipe them
out and complete this quest.
Rifts Near the Sand Crags
�������������������������
Quest Giver: Exploration
Requirement: None
Reward: 1324 Experience, 600 Influence, +2 Power (Per Rift)
This quest comes with the Sand Crags Camp, as the name, well... implies.
Three more rifts for us to take down. Good experience and influence, so bring
it on!
The northern one (which is relatively close to a logging camp to the west, so
be sure to find it) has a Despair Demon and Wraiths. No biggie. The second wave
is three Despair Demons, so try to incapacitate them so they don't all move
around on you.
The southwest rift has a Rage Demon / Pride Demon combo. Two enemies, really
easy. The second wave adds Wraiths. Much like one of the Canyon rifts (exactly
the same, really). Take them out.
Finally the southeast rift starts with three Greater Terrors. Take them out
and then face the Greater Terror with two Pride Demons. Focus one at a time
and you'll be ok (they spawn a ways apart, giving you time to put down area
effects as they come up and time to kill one before they are both on you).
Once all three rifts are closed this quest is complete.
Rifts at the Sunstop Mountains
������������������������������
Quest Giver: Exploration
Requirement: None
Reward: 1324 Experience, 600 Influence, +2 Power (Per Rift)
The final rift quest! This is unlocked once you get to the Sunstop Mountains
Camp, in the northeast section of the map!
The first rift is to the east. It is best got while going for the "Sand and
Ruin" quest, which finishes up further to the east over there. You'll face
three Greater Terrors here and then a single Terror and two Pride Demons, which
is a repeat of an earlier rift.
The other two rifts are honestly closer to The Statue Camp... for some unknown
reason. Head there though to make them easy. To the east is a rift with a TON
of Shades! Try to funnel them into an area attack like usual and then burn them
in it (some of the geography coming from the west makes this easy). The second
wave adds in some Greater Terrors, but it is more of the same.
Finally to the northwest, down in the sand valley, is some Greater Terrors
with a Pride Demon. Take them out and wave two will throw the same enemies at
you only this time they add in two Despair Demons.
Once you take them out and close this last rift the quest will be complete.
Holding the Hissing Wastes
��������������������������
Quest Giver: Scout Harding
Requirement: Travel to The Hissing Wastes
Reward: 200 Influence, +1 Power (Per Camp), 500 Influence when complete.
Your standard "Capture all the camps!" quest. Six of them this time, due to
how massive this area is!
The first one is to the northwest, and is called the Logging Camp. Aptly named
since there is a logging stand nearby and even two quarries relatively close.
Kill the Venatori nearby and claim it!
Next up are two camps to the north. One to the east and one to the west. The
order you get them doesn't really matter, but one (the west one) is on the other
side of a canyon (go around it to the west to get there easiest). The west one
is aptly titled The Canyon Camp while the east one is the Sand Crags Camp.
From there the next camps you get to are honestly based on what quests you
decide to persue. As an example: we did the "Let's Slay the Beast" quest and
found it easy to just travel north to "The Statue Camp", which is the camp
far to the northwest. Following Sand and Ruin quest though will likely take
you to the "Mountain Fortress Camp". Get both of those next in whatever order
you wish.
Last but not least is the camp north of the Mountain Fortress Camp, best
saved for when you are ready for the Sand and Ruin quest. It is past the
mountain pass and down all of the construction equipment, and is called the
"Sunstop Mountain Camp". This is an important camp for another rift quest
and makes a good hub for the "Sand and Ruin" quest as well.
Once you have established those six camps in the area, this quest will be
considered complete. You get a 500 Influence bonus for completing it. Not
too shabby.
Notes on the Wastes
�������������������
Quest Giver: Journal
Requirement: None
Reward: 150 Influence
This quest can be "found" once you find one of the hidden journal pages
related to it. There are eight in total. We'll detail them here. Not that
none of these pages are marked ANYWHERE on the map, making this a fairly hard
quest to try and do on your own. Also note that while other quests in this
section will mention this quest or note these papers, this section is all you
need to find them all.
NOTE: The codes entry for all of these are [A JOURNAL ON DWARVEN RUINS].
#1: Found northwest of the "Lonely Light" landmark, down by a tree.
#2: Found northwest of the "Lonely Light landmark, by a tent on a table
(just pick this one up manually and enjoy the chest nearby).
#3: Found southwest of the Sand Crags Camp, by the Dwarven Statue.
#4: Found near the ruin southwest of The Canyon Camp (IN the Venatori Camp).
#5: Found in the Golden Oasis area (northwest of The Canyon Camp). Ideally
done when doing the quest "Let's Slay the Beast".
#6: Found to the east of the Sand Crags Camp. There is a hunter out here and
just to his east stone ruins. The note is near one of these, by a lootable
dwarven jug.
#7: Found in the Mountain Fortress Dwarven Ruin. Inside the ruin that can be
accessed from the ladder up above to the east of the Mountain Fortress
Camp. Likely found when you do the "The Tomb of Fairel" quest.
#8: Once you enter the Tomb of Fariel location (to the far east of The Sand
Crags camp), look in the corner of the nearby broken pillar area (the
broken pillars on the west side of this area where you entered at) to
find it.
Let's Slay the Beast
��������������������
Quest Giver: Hunter
Requirement: None
Reward: 600 Influence, +2 Power
You can get this quest from the hunters on the map (we got it from a hunter
to the southeast of the Canyon Camp by going through their limited dialog
tree). Talking with them will let them share the story of a legendary beast
nearby that the Inquisitor (who has nothing better to do) will happily hunt
down.
The inspection / search area for this quest is north of the Canyon Camp, but
it is also huge. To be more specific and help you, it is to the northeast,
about halfway between The Canyon Camp and The Statue Camp (the camp which is
even further to the north).
What you are looking for is "The Golden Oasis", an area of the map that leads
down into a bowl with some Dwarven Ruins. Down here there are a number of
Wyvern enemies. There is also a huge [CHEST] in the middle. While you are
here, be sure to claim "The Oasis" landmark, a [MOSIAC PIECE] (one of "The
Sacrifice" set) and find one of the pages to the "Notes on the Wastes" quest
by following the search ping.
Now... onto why we are here. There are a ton of Wyverns here. A ton... they
also have a tendency to re-spawn quickly. Slay a few of them and soon a level
19 Elite Varghest will spawn. This thing is very similar to the Wyverns, but is
a bit bigger and a brighter color. HE is your legendary beast! Go ahead and
slay him to complete the quest.
Not really legendary if you ask us... we killed so many of these things in
The Wesern Approach...
Field of Bones
��������������
Quest Giver: Note
Requirement: None
Reward: 334 Experience, 150 Influence
You can get this quest near the Sand Crags Camp by reading a note on a table
just to the west. Sounds like a patrol is missing. This likely isn't going to
end well...
The marker for the quest will than show up to the southwest (near the Logging
Camp, actually). Head to the area and you'll soon find a swarm of spiders. A
rather large group of Poison Spiders along with a few Giant Spiders. Take them
all out, then look for the corpses nearby the wagon. There is a chest here as
well. Once you loot the chest, the quest will be considered finished.

Quest Giver: Solas
Requirement: Talk to Solas in Haven
Reward: Approval for Solas, Amulet of Power (Solas)
Head down the East Road with Solas and you'll meet Mihris. Help her defeat the
demons and head inside. Use the Veilfire Torch to enter the ruins where you'll
need to fight more demons. Check the left side of the large room for the Glyph
that gives the [FIRE RUNE] schematic. Talk to Mihris after the quest is
completed and ask for the [AMULET OF POWER] to receive it. Completing this
quest gives Solas +1 Approval but getting the Amulet of Power too gains another
+2 Approval.
You can find more of these at the following locations:

1. In the empty shack at the south end of the Redcliffe Farm.
2. Atop the highest tower in Winterwatch Tower.

Quest Giver: Solas
Head to the Exalted Plains and start heading west through Halin'sulahn with
Solas in the group. Once you find the Spirit you'll quickly see it has become
a Pride Demon. Use your power to break the summoning circle and free the Spirit
only to have it ask to die. Solas does as it asks, then you must either let
Solas kill the mages who corrupted the Spirit or have him stop. Either way,
Solas leaves and you'll have to return to Skyhold to get him back.

Quest Giver: Varric
Requirement: Speak with Varric after the quest "Here Lies the Abyss"
Reward: 400 Influence, +3 Power
Varric's friend Bianca, who is totally not a crossbow, has visited him to
share her knowledge on where Corypheus is getting his Red Lyrium from. We
have the option to shut down his operation. Choose to do so for this quest.
Once you have the quest, put Varric in your part with two others and head
to the Upper Lake Camp in the Hinterlands. Travel south from there to the
door behind the waterfall... Valammar, and enter.
We'll have a scene here. Answer however you like and push onward, killing
the Carta members on your way to the Upper Terrace. Take a right there and
then down to find Carta fighting Darkspawn. Fairly usual. You've likely seen
this already if this is your second trip in here.
What is unusual though is Bianca! Nearby is our objective: a door we couldn't
open last time we were here. Turns out Bianca built them. Wow... enter in and
slay the Carta members. Loot what you can and grab the [A DIFFERENT DARKSPAWN]
codex from the book nearby.
Continue to the next door to reach the final fight here... several Carta
thugs, enforcers, bowmen and an elite Warden Mage. Kill them all. The mage
is the strongest here and poses a serious threat with the mines he can put
up, so watch your approach to him when you fight your way to him.
Afterward gather up all the loot and head forward. Save the key in the middle
for last, as when you pick it up a scene starts. You'll find out the source of
the info soon enough (you can say "It's not your fault" here for a Slight
Approval from Varric). Exit Valammar after you are done.
Talk to Varric again at Skyhold to complete the quest. For approval points
be sure to use the top remarks (No one does. Of course you have.). Once the
talk is done so is the quest.

Quest Giver: Arrow in the market
Requirement: After speaking with the Clerics in Val Royeaux
Reward: Sera joins the Inquisition
This starts right after the meeting with the Templars. Check the Mysterious
Arrow to gain three new objectives. Go to the east side and examine the wall
then read the note at the end of the docks, [MIROIR DE LA MERE, REVILLE'S
FOLLY]. Search the [RED HANDKERCHIEF], it's a hidden object. Go into the Cafe
to find a note on the stand, [LE MASQUE DU LION]. Check the dragon-head for
[THE HEAD OF MADAME SNAPPY-SNIPS] and read the note for [NOT OF HEROES:
MAFERATH AND SACRIFICE]. Underneath the table to the left is another hidden
[RED HANDKERCHIEF].
Read the note near the fountain for [THE SUMMER HOME OF MESSERE GLUBS] then head
up the stairs, examining the tree for [VICTORY AND SHADE]. Read the book for
[NOT OF HEROES: THE DEATH OF DIVERSITY] and the plaque behind it. Inside the
little alcove is a plaque, properly named. Use a staircase to reach the upper
market at the southwest end. Examine the window for [A SEASON OF THE FOUR AFOUL]
then search behind the plant for the hidden [RED HANDKERCHIEF]. Opposite this
is a book, [NOT OF HEROES: DIVISION AND DISTANCE], below it is another book,
[THE RANDY DOWAGER QUARTERLY].
Head to the Secluded Courtyard. There are three Mercenaries, not too much of a
problem. Open the door and head inside to trigger a scene. Here you meet Sera,
who notes that the incoming Mercenaries have no breeches. They go down fairly
easily too and you'll have the option to recruit Sera.

Quest Giver: Sera
Requirement: Talk to Sera in Skyhold
Reward: 1,025 Experience, 400 Influence, 3 Power
Talk to Sera then run her mission at the War Table. Return to her to be taken
out to the stash location, which doesn't seem right at all. You'll have to deal
with a Mercenary Warmaster and his cronies, focus on the ranged enemies first.
You'll get to speak with Lord Pel Harmond after the battle. You have numerous
options but if you have the dialogue perk for it, you can choose to have him
join the Inquisition and take all of his land -- by far the best option. Talk
to Sera back at Skyhold when you are done.

search the area to find a [BOTTLE OF THEDAS] and a Grey Warden's Sword atop
the watch points.

work. You need to clear the sulfur pits so you must complete the operation at
the War Table first. Cross through Caracavus to establish the Echo Back Canyon
Camp then head into the Echoback Fort, searching the table on the lower level
for the Vial of Archdemon Blood. In the Fallow Mire you need to reach Hargrave
Keep to the southwest and go to the battlements. Unlock the door here to find

Before the Dawn

Quest Giver: Cullen
Requirement: Allied with Mages. Completed "Red Water"
Reward: 1,025 Experience, 400 Influence, 3 Power
You'll need to go to the Emerald Graves and find three smuggler letters first:
1. Outside Villa Maurel near the "Andraste's Mercy" Landmark.
2. At the edge of Stonewolf Green to the west of Briathos' Steps Camp.
3. There are several giants around this letter in the north.
With them collect return to Cullen. He determines that you need to raid Sahrnia
Quarry. Head to Emprise du Lion and begin your march south from the Tower Camp.
Your objective is to enter the three highlighted camps and defeat the Templars
at the locations. You may as well be doing "Rocky Rescue" as well since the
majority of these captives are in these locations too. Be sure to search the
area for letters about Samson, you need them to clear the area.
With all three areas secure and letters in hand, return to Cullen. He wants you
to speak with Dagna to question her about Samson's armor. Turns out she just
needs some time and resources, to the War Table it is to complete the operation
"Find Samson's Weakness" for Dagna. With it complete, return to Cullen to gain
information on Maddox. You need to do another operation called "Track Down
Samson" then return to Cullen. From here you must travel to the Shrine of Dumat
where Samson is located.
In the initial area you'll find numerous Red Templar Guard and Red Templar
Horrors, focus on the latter first. Once they are defeated you'll have to face
a Behemoth, at least it's alone. Don't be afraid to use Potions, there is a
[SUPPLY CACHE] just through the doors ahead. Knights and Horrors flank the left
and right sides, take one out at a time so you don't get sandwiched. Further in
are two more Guards and Shadows, the Shadows join late. Loot the left side pile
on the table to find [SUPERB CORRUPTING RUNE] schematic.
Head through the door to find Maddox. After he slumps over you'll need to locate
the [BOTTLES] and the [LETTER] on the table. Head into the next room and pick
up the [TOOLS] off the table. With the information obtained, return to Cullen
at Skyhold to complete this lengthy quest.

Introduction to the Bestiary
����������������������������
- Physical Effects refers to Stun, Knockdown, Interrupt, and Knockback.
- Health Modifier is based on health of basic creatures at that level, e.g.;
an Archer has only 75% of the health that a Foot Soldier would have and a
Bruiser has 175% of the health a Foot Soldier has because a Foot Soldier is
the standard for global health.
H U M A N O I D
���������������
Archer
������
Location: All
Level Range: 4-30
Health Modifier: 0.75
Armor: Low
Resistance: None
Vulnerable: None
Immunities: None
- Archers can deal some heavy damage from range over time so it's usually best
to attack them first. Bring them into melee combat and they become ineffective
and fall easily.
Bruiser
�������
Location: All
Level Range: 8-30
Health Modifier: 1.75
Armor: Very High
Resistance: None
Vulnerable: Electricity
Immunities: Physical Effects. Fear/Paralyze/Freeze/Sleep/Taunt/Snare on Enrage
- Bruisers use Guard and have a large two-handed weapon. You'll need to time
your defense against this foe and use Shield Bash (or similar abilities) to
break down the Guard quickly and focus on the Bruisers massive Health.
Foot Soldier
������������
Location: All
Level Range: 4-30
Health Modifier: 1
Armor: Average
Resistance: None
Vulnerable: None
Immunities: None
- Foot Soldiers are the most basic unit you'll encounter. They generally swarm
in number but have average Health and damage output. Controlling them with
Fear, Sleep, or Freeze is always useful though they are easy to defend against
even in number so simply Taunting them works well too.
Guardsman
���������
Location: All
Level Range: 4-30
Health Modifier: 1.25
Armor: High
Resistance: None
Vulnerable: Electricity
Immunities: None
- The challenge with Guardsman is that their shield blocks basically in front
of them so it is essential to flank them or cast spells that land directly
on top of them. Have a Warrior Taunt the Guardsman then face it away from
the rest of the group for easy flanking and damage.
Mage
����
Location: All
Level Range: 8-30
Health Modifier: 1
Armor: Low
Resistance: Fire Mage - Fire, Ice Mage - Cold, Lighting Mage - Electricity
Vulnerable: None
Immunities: Fire Mage - Fear/Burn, Ice Mage - Freeze/Chill,
Lightning Mage - Paralyze/Shocked
- Mages specialize in ranged damage with spells that can hit pretty hard. You'll
want to engage in close combat since Mages have low Armor and Health, just
watch out for Glyphs that are laid on the ground to prevent you from closing.
A Warrior with Grappling Chain is particularly useful against Mages.
Prowler
�������
Location: All
Level Range: 4-30
Health Modifier: 1
Armor: Average
Resistance: None
Vulnerable: None
Immunities: Fear/Sleep/Snare
- Prowlers are essentially Dual Wield Rogues with Stealth capability. That
means you'll need to protect your ranged attacks from these foes as they
can sneak into the back ranks of your party and deal massive damage then
Stealth away after a few seconds. Freeze them in place and Shatter them.
Spellbinder
�����������
Location: All
Level Range: 4-30
Health Modifier: 1
Armor: Very Low
Resistance: Fire Spellbinder - Fire, Ice Spellbinder - Cold,
Lighting Spellbinder - Electricity
Vulnerable: None
Immunities: Fire Spellbinder - Fear/Burn, Ice Spellbinder - Freeze/Chill,
Lightning Spellbinder - Paralyze/Shocked
- Spellbinders are much like Mages but primarily buff up their allies with
Barrier and other beneficial spells. Spellbinders can also teleport around the
battlefield so you'll want to lock them in place with Paralyze/Freeze pending
their resistances.
D E M O N S
�����������
Despair Demon
�������������
Location: All
Level Range: 12-30
Health Modifier: 1
Armor: Very Low
Resistance: Cold
Vulnerable: Fire
Immunities: Freeze/Sleep/Chill
Elemental Attack: Cold
- Despair Demons are common to Fade Rifts and will attack from range using their
icy projectiles to deal damage while putting up a Barrier of their own. Use
Fire spells like Immolate to set them ablaze and Fear them.
Fear Demon
����������
Location: Many
Level Range: 12-30
Health Modifier: 1.75
Armor: Average
Resistance: None
Vulnerable: Electricity/Spirit
Immunities: Fear/Freeze/Sleep/Weaken
Elemental Attack: Spirit
-
Pride Demon
�����������
Location: Many
Level Range: 12-30
Health Modifier: 2
Armor: Very High
Resistance: Electricity
Vulnerable: None
Immunities: Physical Effect/Freeze/Sleep/Paralyze/Shock
Elemental Attack: Electricity
- Pride Demons are usually part of the second wave at Fade Rifts. You can
prevent them from spawning by using Dispel on the summoning locations. If you
must face a Pride Demon try using Fear to keep it away while you focus on the
lesser demons.
Rage Demon
����������
Location: All
Level Range: 8-30
Health Modifier: 1.5
Armor: High
Resistance: Fire
Vulnerable: Cold
Immunities: Burning. Physical Effects/Fear/Paralyze/Sleep/Taunt when enraged.
Elemental Attack: Fire
- Rage Demons inflict heavy Fire Damage upon their enemies and are some of the
more powerful demons you'll encounter. Freeze them in place and pour on the
Cold attacks to really set them back. Dispel their Barrier if they put one
up.
Shade
�����
Location: All
Level Range: 1-30
Health Modifier: 1.1
Armor: Low
Resistance: None
Vulnerable: None
Immunities: None
- Shades essentially the Foot Soldiers/Prowlers of the demon army. They will
break rank and attempt to reach your Archers and Mages. Lock them in place
then take them out, they lack any ability to avoid the damage.
Terror
������
Location: All
Level Range: 1-30
Health Modifier: 1.5
Armor: Low
Resistance: None
Vulnerable: Spirit
Immunities: Fear
- Terrors have a nasty ability to dive into the ground and emerge near your
ranged allies. This causes a knockdown and is followed up by a slowing area
of effect spell that inflicts damage. It's a tough thing to deal with so you
need to Freeze/Paralyze the Terror when it appears.
Wraith
������
Location: All
Level Range: 1-30
Health Modifier: 0.35
Armor: Very Low
Resistance: Fire if Rage Demon nearby. Cold if Despair Demon nearby. Electricity
if Pride Demon nearby.
Vulnerable: None
Immunities: Physical Effects/Poison. Weaken if Fear Demon nearby. Burn if Rage
Demon nearby. Chill if Despair Demon nearby. Shock if Pride Demon
nearby.
Elemental Attack: Spirit
- Wraiths are like the Archers of the demon army. They sit in the back and
fire projectiles that can whittle your health. Some Wraiths can cast Barrier
and have resistances based on the other demons around. Take them out first
when encountered in groups of other demons, they die fast.

Health Modifier: 1.25

Armor: Very High
Resistance: Cold
Vulnerable: Fire
Immunities: Physical Effect/Paralyze/Freeze/Chill

Vulnerable: Fire/Spirit
Immunities: Physical Effects/Fear/Paralyze/Sleep/Chill/Poison
Elemental Attack: Spirit
- Arcane Horrors are powerful magic users that can warp around the battlefield.
Take advantage of their low armor and light them on fire for the best results
when fighting them. They are usually in the middle of a group, leading other
Undead so focus on them first.
Corpse
������
Location: Many
Level Range: 4-30
Health Modifier: 0.7
Armor: Very Low
Resistance: Cold
Vulnerable: Fire/Spirit
Immunities: Fear/Sleep/Chill/Poison
- Corpses don't pose much of a threat by themselves but often come in large
number. Be sure to defeat them at a distance before they get too close, Fire
is your best bet since they can be inflicted with Burning.
Revenant
��������
Location: Many
Level Range: 12-30
Health Modifier: 6
Armor: Very High
Resistance: Cold
Vulnerable: Fire/Spirit
Immunities: Physical Effect/Fear/Freeze/Sleep/Chill/Poison
- Revenants have the ability to pull you in from range and then smash you with
their massive shield and sword. Unlike the other Undead, the Revenant has
a large health pool and very high armor so you'll need to use Fire to really
burn them down but more than that, you require sustainability to outlast them.
