Completing additional quests in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Storm Coast, Brown Mire, and Sacred Plain

You receive the task automatically according to the plot. Go to the command headquarters and, after spending 8 influence points, perform the corresponding operation, thereby opening a new location - the Brown Mire. We go there and find out that the leader of Avvarov has challenged us to a duel. We move towards the goal indicated by the marker. On the way there it is not recommended to walk on water, because... this will summon the dead. There are an infinite number of them, and they will come while you are in the water. Along the way, you will meet one Avvar named Skygazer, standing next to the gap. Close the gap together and then talk to him. Then continue towards your goal. Having reached the castle, you will have to fight the boss and his minions. After you kill everyone, take the key from the leader's body. Use them to open the door in the far left corner from the entrance and free the prisoners. Then move towards the exit. Here you will find a Skygazer who can be recruited as an agent of the Inquisition.

Lighthouses in the dark

The task is activated when you approach the first lighthouse. The squad must have a magician with whom you can light the fire. Fight off enemies, of which there will be a considerable number. This should be done with all four lighthouses. All of them are marked on the map and finding them is not difficult. When all the beacons are lit, the task will be completed.

Beyond the quagmire

With any character, approach the lit beacon from the quest “Beacons in the Darkness” and light a torch from it. Walk around the stone on which the lighthouse is located and activate the rune depicted on the stone. Do this with all the beacons. After examining the four runes, they will give you a recipe and the quest will end.

Fever

There will be a hut northwest of the fourth lighthouse. If you try to enter it, you will receive a quest to find the key. You can find it using the [v] key when the mini-map starts flashing. Once you find it, go to the hut and unlock the door. Kill the ghost and search everything inside the house. This will complete the quest.

Cunning demons

While completing the quest "Beacons in the Dark", read the diary near the second lighthouse to activate the task. Then, after the third lighthouse, go west into the gap in the mountain. Close the gap and continue west through another gap, then turn right. Walk through the swamp until you meet a mage. After killing him, complete the task.

We continue through Dragon Age Inquisition. I recorded the previous videos a long time ago, but a new batch is created simultaneously with the passage, so with fresh memory things go easier. In this “season” we will finish the story with Geryon Alexius, explore new locations, save the soldiers of the Inquisition, acquire new companions and come close to closing Gaps.

Calm before the storm

The video begins with the clearing of Wolf Hollow. I still need to convince Dennett to give up the horses for the Inquisition, and the problem with the wolves is one of the additional tasks (Elaina's quest) towards this goal.

After this, we close one of the gaps next to the exit to the world map and return to the command headquarters. I invest the earned specificity points into the “Massace Method”. This is an Inquisition military stat that adds 5% to the experience gained from killing enemies. In my opinion, it is very useful, the main thing is to develop this ability as early as possible. Then I give the agents instructions. Now you need to make a choice of the plot task in favor of magicians or templars. I chose the “magical” path because stories with magicians are usually more interesting.

Dorian also joins our group. We go to Redcliffe to meet with Master Geryon Alexius.

Forward to a dark future

Here we watch the story cut-scene. The point is briefly - his son Felix told us about Geryon’s trap, so at the meeting, the Inquisition’s warriors, prepared in advance, interrupt the master’s guards. But the sorcerer, with the help of a certain talisman, casts a time portal. As a result, Dorian and our main character - Herald Andraste - are transported one year into the future.

Once in the basement of the castle, we notice that everything around is already overgrown with red lyrium. Not good. Only half of the group will have to go through this section, so we act carefully and quickly.

In the dungeon we find the rest of our partners - Cassandra and Solas. From them we learn that after our disappearance, no one was able to stop the Elder from gaining power, and the human world was filled with an army of demons. But all is not lost, if we find Geryon, then with the help of his talisman we can go back in time and change the course of history.

We set off in full force to search for the villain. The main local enemy is Venatori fanatics, who are essentially ordinary soldiers. But the greatest danger is posed by Venatori archers and Venatori spellcasters. Always try to kill the caster first, since casting away from the main mess causes massive damage.

Save Leliana

We continue to move through the dungeon, through torture chambers and cells with prisoners who mutate into red lyrium crystals. The main task is to find Leliana, which is quite easy, you won’t miss, but in addition, in the same room, don’t forget to pick up the prison key from the guard’s corpse! Don't repeat my mistake. I didn’t notice him right away and then searched the entire location up and down several times. There is no marker for this key, and without it the door cannot be opened.

There's nothing else important in the video after Leliana. The rest of the time I'm just looking for the key.

How to get to Alexius's throne room

Continuation of the passage of the gloomy future. Mostly continuous battles. Through the underground passage we find ourselves in the courtyard, look at the giant gap and again enter the battle with demons and Venatori.

The most important task is to open the door to Alexius's throne room. To do this, you will need to find 5 red lyrium fragments. The fragments are respectively located in the possession of five Venatori spellcasters scattered throughout different rooms of the castle. In this video I collected 4 out of 5 fragments.

Alexius, goodbye

After all the fragments have been collected, open the door to the throne room. A small story scene and the final battle with the master. I think that you can defeat Geryon Alexius without any problems, the main thing is not to step into the green trap runes that the sorcerer sets. If you have any problems, watch the video from the 6th to the 20th minute.

Done, we pick up the amulet from the corpse and return to the past. In this time dimension, Alexius is still alive, but realizes that resistance is futile and renounces his claim to Redcliffe.

In conclusion, we offer an alliance to the magicians. There are two options here: make the magicians prisoners of the Inquisition or allies. I chose the second option. As a result, he received “total approval” from the elf-mage Solas and at the same time “total condemnation” from Cassandra and Sera.

Storm Coast

We are back at command headquarters. We discuss recent events and plan further actions. First, I checked my inventory and equipped myself with better weapons and armor. The choice is not very large, but it makes it all the more pleasant to find rare artifacts.

The next thing I did was spend 4 influence points on exploration of the Storm Coast, and thus opened access to this area. That's where we'll go. I’ll say right away that in this location I completed all the quests, set all the landmarks, collected all the fragments and astrariums, which took a lot of time. Therefore, I will add the next 5 videos to the same section and briefly, in a nutshell, describe the content of each.

New enemy Dragon Cubs. Solution of the first astrarium (Constellation Fervanis). Search for fragments. At the end of the video (about the 28th minute) I looked at the battle between the dragon and the troll. It is unclear whether this scenario was scripted, but later I did not find either a dragon or a troll here.

Closing the gap. Exploration of the area, opening of the second camp. Found the first part of the Gray Warden's Diary (16th minute). Bears... Where would we be without them? The second part of the Gray Warden's Diary was found (26th minute).

The opening of the third camp and the task “Holding the Storm Coast” is completed. I found an entrance in the farthest part of the map, but the door is closed and it is unknown how to open it. Completing the main quest of the location “Putting things in order.” Inquisition soldiers were sent to meet with a group of bandits on the Storm Coast, but contact with them was lost. At the 11th minute, the second astrarium found (Servani Constellation). At the 23rd minute the third astrarium (Constellation Bellitanus). There is a small catch in it, two stars are extra. Solving all the riddles with astrariums opens the entrance to a cave with useful artifacts on the map. In my case, it was the Dreamweaver's Staff, the Free March Banner Top and the unique bow "Red Crossing Bane". Most likely the loot drops randomly.

I continue to explore the location and complete the mission “Regions of the Storm Coast”. I am closing the most difficult gap. From time to time in the game you come across elven amulets that can be launched. Solas approves of this, but what their purpose is is not yet clear.

Well, the last episode about the Storm Coast. Nothing important here, I'm collecting the remaining hard-to-reach fragments.

Dealing with matters in the Vault

Having progressed far enough in the plot, I completely forgot about the tasks in the home location. All that remains is to talk with the pharmacist Adan, make armor and collect materials for weapons for the Inquisition.

A blacksmith has various interesting possibilities. For example, you can modify items, which will not only improve the characteristics of the product, but also change its appearance. Unfortunately, the upgrades themselves are so rare that I almost don’t have any.

It is also possible to craft weapons and armor. To do this, you need a sketch of the future item, as well as the components necessary for its manufacture. The quality of the component determines the characteristics and appearance. For example, I assembled an elf hood. This is a very simple sketch and only requires fabric (3 pieces for armor and 6 pieces for protection). But I have several types of fabrics in my inventory: glossy cotton, checkered fabric, brocade, semi-velvet, poyarok, thin velvet, cotton, silk. So, by combining the type of fabric, we get a variety of characteristics and even a different appearance.

Another useful person in the camp is the alchemist. He can improve existing potions (plus tinctures and bombs), as well as create new ones. As usual, you need a recipe and the required assortment of herbs. Using the new one, I created the Bottle of Bees bomb. I also wanted to improve the healing potion, but I didn’t have the dawn lotus in my inventory, which grows in the swamps.

At the end of the video, I return to the command headquarters and select the reconnaissance mission “Explore the fragments,” which opens up another interesting area - the “Forbidden Oasis.”

Forbidden oasis

The Forbidden Oasis is a small but very confusing location. If you plan to collect all the fragments here, you will need to study it thoroughly. Why pick up the pieces at all? Firstly, you will need 6 pieces to open the door to the local temple, and inside the temple there will be 3 more such doors. Behind each of these doors are 3 rooms. Inside the rooms are sarcophagi, opening which you receive protection points from a certain type of magic (spirit, fire and ice magic). And the rooms themselves are also separated from each other by magical doors. The deeper you go, the more complex the door, and the more fragments it will require.

The two videos above are only about collecting fragments and exploring the location. The temple will be in the video below. Between them there is also gameplay, which I did not record, because the essence is the same. Collecting fragments. In the end, just like on the Storm Coast, I collected and completed everything that was available. Even a side quest with a woman who asks to find a wedding ring in a cave. The problem here is that there are about 50 spiders in the cave, and they are not ordinary ones, but infected ones (more persistent and aggressive) and they attack in droves. The battle was of course epic, even my bombs with bees were used, but this episode is not on video.

It is difficult to give any advice on passing this location, because even after watching the video, you are unlikely to understand which path I took. Here, until you explore all the paths yourself, nothing will work out.

Brown Mire

The video begins with exactly the same Par’as spider cave that I wrote about above. As soon as it was already cleared, I returned the ring and in return received the key to the locked door. I return to the cave and open the door, inside is a box with useful goods.

After that, we open the door to the Temple of Pride with fragments, and then the process that I described. You can watch it on the video. In total, I managed to open two rooms in the direction of spirit magic and one each in ice and fire magic. At this point my reserves of fragments were depleted.

We finish the Forbidden Oasis and go without transfers to the Brown Mire. I opened the location a long time ago, but somehow I never had a chance to go. The story mission here is to rescue the soldiers of the Inquisition who were captured by the local Aboriginal accelerated Avvars.

Our main enemy here is the undead, a few demons, and also periodically those same aborigines. As the name suggests, the area is a swampy area. And if the enemy stands in the water, then magic and abilities will not affect him. Therefore, you need to move along special islands on which you need to light a curtain fire. The undead will crawl out to look at the magical light, and then we give a full cast.

Almost everything here consists of battles. There is a hut in the swamps, but you need a key to the door. I haven't found it yet. Thus, we reach a small fort. If you climb the wall, there is another locked door, but this time you don’t need a key, but the “Skilled Hands” skill, which I apparently don’t have. It is unknown where to get it from. I play as a robber class and among all the skills available for learning, I didn’t notice “Skilled Hands”.

A little more and we reached the Hargrave fortress, the citadel of the Avvars. The Aboriginal leader, Hand of Korg, awaits here. Apparently I exhausted him with endless resurrections. By the end of the video, the doomed boss is just running around and not even trying to hit anyone.

Well, the last video from the “second season” of Dragon Age Inquisition. We pick up the key from the killed leader and save the soldiers of the Inquisition. At the exit from the fortress, we recruit one of the Avvars into the Inquisition - Looking into the Sky. We can finish here. The rest of the time I just gain experience in battles in the swamp. There are many tough swamp fishermen here that drop Bronto skins. It would be nice to craft new armor from it.

Storm Coast

Operation cost on the Storm Coast: 4 influence points.

We will be provided with a report upon arrival. The territory is ruled by the blades of Hessarian, and the scouts of the Inquisition have disappeared. Most likely, mercenaries had a hand in this. Also, we need to find traces of the Gray Guardians who recently passed here.

Putting things in order
