REACHING THE FORTRESS:
Choose a new location from the map of the world.
It’s called [Soldier’s peak] and it can be found to the north-west of Denerim.
Once the conversation has ended start moving towards a fortress seen in the distance.
Approach the main gate (DLC1, 2) where you’ll witness an interesting vision.
Make a few steps forward and you’re going to be attacked by a large group ofskeletons.
Don’t forget to protect yourmageagainst enemy attacks, but I’m sure that you’ll manage the situation.
Once you’ve defeated the boss double-check to examine its body to collect anAntique warden crossbow.
Aside from the main beast you’ll also have to deal with twolesser rage demons.
Check a small note found on the table and then proceed to the western room.
Once the boss is dead deal with a couple ofskeleton archersand find a new note.
You may exit this room and proceed to the eastern hallway.
Remember that it’s recommended to use ice and lightning spells against the demons.
Once the battle has ended check Archivist’s book found on the floor to trigger a new vision.
Talk toLeviand then choose a passageway leading to [Fortress - First floor] (DLC2, 7).
secure your game (DLC2, 8) before proceeding to the southern section of the room.
Once they’re all gone you may focus your attention on the demon.
This means you must stop attacking the demon and eliminate the wardens as soon as possible.
Start attacking the boss again when they’re gone and this time you shouldn’t be interrupted.
Don’t forget to examine the demon’s body to collectWinter’s breath staff.
You may now proceed to a nearby chapel where you’ll have to defeat a small group of theundead.
Once it’s safe head north-east (DLC2, 11).
Killing Sophia would disable a force field that was active in the previous corridor (DLC2, 12).
Your job here will be to protect Sophia when she’s trying to complete a ritual.
verify to monitor health bars of yourteammatesand to heal them after each wave has been defeated.
After you’ve defeated all the monsters talk toSophiaand agree to grant her wish.
You may now head towards the door with a disabled barrier (DLC2, 12).
The best solution is to agree to cooperate withSophiawithout asking her to seal the Void.
Don’t forget to usepersuasionto ask for something in return (after sealing the deal).
She’ll allow you to choose between disclosing a location of the treasure and telling Levi about his past.
You may now return to the corridor.
Choose a previously inaccessible passageway leading to [Soldier’s peak] (DLC2, 12).
Instead of running to the other side wait forskeleton warriorsto come to you.
You may now deal with a small group ofskeleton archers.
Watch out for newundead monsterswaiting for you inside the laboratory (DLC2, 13).
Kill them and once it’s safe again take your time to explore your surroundings.
Finish off by clicking on analchemical concoction(DLC2, 14).
preserve your game before moving on to the next room.
The best solution would be to talk toAvernusand to agree to provide assistance in dealing with Sophia.
Unlocking the third ending will only be possible if you’ve already killed Sophia.
In this case you could informAvernusabout your success and skip toSecuring the fortresssection.
There are two crates here and both contain useful objects.
check that to monitor health bars of yourteammatesand to heal them after each wave has been defeated.
If you’ve chosenAvernusto be your ally you could decide what to do with the mage.
If you’ve convinced Avernus earlier on to surrender you’ll have an easier choice.
Finish this entire quest by talking to your friendLevi Dryden.
