Which mage to send into the fade

Ultimately, she tries to bring Bann Teagan to the castle, alone. Teagan agrees to go, but gives the Warden his Signet Ring for secret access to the castle's basement. Inside the windmill , opposite the entrance to this secret passage, is a chest containing an Injury Kit and a Love Letter for Correspondence Interruptus. After using the secret passage, open the first door to three enraged corpses waiting to attack. After this fight, you find Jowan former colleague of the magi Warden in a cell.

Talking to him garners some information about what is happening in the castle, as well as codex entries on apostates and blood magic if they weren't previously unlocked. Jowan will tell the Warden that he used the guise of tutoring Connor to poison Arl Eamon , and that Loghain directed him to do so in exchange for amnesty Jowan being a condemned blood mage.

He insists, however, that he did not do anything to summon the undead, despite the arlessa's claims. She has had him tortured and locked up. Jowan expresses the desire to right his wrongs, and asks the Warden to release him. You must decide what to do with Jowan. Quest concept art featuring Zevran , Alistair , and Oghren.

If you choose to kill Jowan and side with the templars during the Broken Circle , it is impossible to save Connor's life. The dialogue ends, and he stays in the cell. You can restart the conversation with him and decide again to free, kill, or leave him. If you choose to let go of Jowan and side with the templars during the Broken Circle , it is impossible to save Connor's life.

On the other hand, this is the only way to get the Jowan's Intention quest. This will result in Jowan leaving and he will not appear later when you decide what to do about Connor. He refuses your request. You now have the option of telling him to help but not to make things worse. He disappears, but since he promises to find a way to fix the undead problem, he shows up later with an alternative solution to help Connor.

He stays, admitting his mistake. Then, "going to find some way to fix it," he disappears, but shows up later with an alternative solution to help Connor. The first time the party enters this area is from below, into the northwest corner. They will quickly be confronted by undead. The chapel across the hall holds an elite greater shade with a few lesser minions, and a book.

The other room nearby is the armoury, which is locked and contains a variety of weapons and armor. If you have promised Owen to find his daughter, go to a small square room at the eastern end of the corridor, where you will find Valena.

To the east more corpses will be encountered. Kennels north of the hall contain several mabari , one is elite ; these will only attack if approached. However, if you enter the kennel, you will find a kaddis , a collar and a Lamb Bone for Dog. Before going further, watch out for traps. South of the corridor, a door leading to the main hall is impassable; another leads to more undead.

Beyond are stairs to the castle's cellar. The next section of the basement is a single room providing passage to the courtyard. Here a considerable fight awaits - shambling corpses and skeleton archers for the most part, as well as a revenant.

A lever just left of the gate may be activated before, during or after any fight - allowing Ser Perth and other knights those not lost during The Attack at Nightfall to join the fight. Once the knights are inside the gates and the fight is over, you may advise them to hold the courtyard or proceed inside. Either way, entering the main floor triggers a cut-scene.

A cutscene leads to a fight against a group of dominated guards, led by Teagan. So the boy had to die. Of course wifey ran in at the last minute to plead for his life and wouldn't see reason, so I was forced to punch her out and then slit the boy's throat.

I'm really curious what choices other people made, and what their reasons were. Wizdoc Right Trigger of Justice. Went to the Circle of Mages, but possibly due to some bad dialog choices, I managed to fuck up that mission royally and get the circle killed.

So, the option was to kill the boy or choose one mage character to go into Fade and deal with the demon there. That sounded like too much effort and my mages were pretty terrible then , so the kid had to go.

He was an annoying sounding little brat anyway, so no harm, no foul. Of course, Alistair had to get all whiny about it later on. I too, dismissed going to the circle as taking to long. But I could not kill the boy either, and the arlissa That was her title, IIRC voluntered so I let the blood mage sacrifice her to send Morrigan as she was the only mage I had where she dueled the demon and won. Alistair later got deeply troubled with this decision, mainly due to a deep rooted hatred of blood magic with good reason, I'll assume though with a decent cunning score my character managed to make the ex-templar accept that the decision was the right thing to do, mostly.

Also with a dwarf commoner rogue, so all this magic stuff sounded a bit hand wavey to me, especially when we knew for sure that the demon had killed loads of people and that killing the boy would definitely stop it. I did feel bad about knocking the arlessa out so I could kill her son, but I did save her life kind of and stop her from committing suicide via dorky blood mage.

He was surprisingly OK about the whole thing. Last edited: Nov 11, As, for this particular playthrough, I'm trying to play a morally-upright 'Neutral Good' Human Noble, I pretty much told the Blood Mage to fuck off and never return when I encountered him in the dungeons.

It really gives him a chance to redeem himself and his dialogue serves as proof that he really isn't a bad person, he just made a lot of bad decisions. Unfortunately it truly is a pain to battle the Desire Demon with Jowan. I managed to defeat her with a level 10 Jowan on nightmare but it took several attempts probably about 4 or 5.

The biggest problem for me was the rage demons since most of his spells are fire based, something the rage demons are immune against. Zjarcal Status: Offline. By Eudaemonium - Wed Aug 25, am.
