I will soon get attacked by Cultists from both the west and the east. An Ash Wraith comes into view, so I take it down as quickly as I can. Leliana can now disarm the traps at her leisure. This makes it easier for Leliana and Aldarion to take them out at a distance. I keep the party back, and have Wynne roll out Fireball in an instant to knock the Archers of their feet and subject them to lingering fire damage. I don't rush them, since there are many traps in between. There will be several Cultist Archers on the other side. I use the Taper and the Black Pearl to light the Holy Brazier and open the next door. I continue north up the next set of stairs. I next take out the Ash Wraiths, and then the Archers. I make the Mage the first priority by hitting him with Crushing Prison, and then finishing him off with single-target spells. Two Ash Wraiths also appear on both sides of me. I then come into a large room where I get ambushed by two Cultist Archers and a Cultist Mage.

I continue northwards, and use the Main Hall Key to progress.

The locked door can now be opened with the South-East Chamber Key. I continue south, and then follow the hallway towards the southeast. I deal with this easily by Aldarion launching a Storm of the Century from atop the stairs, and Wynne planting an Earthquake at the stairs leading up. I then conclude the video by heading back to the large central hall.Ī large group of Cultists now appear to the south. The chest holds two quest items that I'll need, a Black Pearl and the South-East Chamber Key. I continue to follow the hallway to its natural end, and find an ornate chest. It becomes straight physical combat otherwise. Wynne holds the other Mage in place with a Glyph of Paralysis. Aldarion kills the two to the south with a single casting of Mana Clash, which shows what a great anti-Mage spell it can be. The annoyance factor is that there will be three Cultist Mages, two in the rooms further south, and one in the room to the east. I then go south, where I get swarmed by several Cultists. I continue on west and kill a single Cultist. Aldarion completes the Storm of the Century, and they soon wither underneath the continuous damage. Wynne closes off the hallway with an Earthquake. Here again I have a Storm of the Century in mind, but start off with a Blizzard from 'off-screen' to get their attention. The adjoining rooms that are further down will have a LOT of Cultists that will join in the attack. I continue further west along the hallway. The Archers are then easily taken out at a distance. I hold the Bronto in place with Cone of Cold and then Crushing Prison. The next fight is against a Bronto and a couple of Cultist Archers. I backtrack, and this time go through the door leading west. It is part of the Diligence armor set, but I can no longer get it since Owen is no longer available to sell the Boots of Diligence. At the end is the Armor of Diligence (+2 armor, +0.25 health regeneration).

I go to the top of the stairs, and then down the tunnel to the right. The archers are then quickly killed one at a time with sustained missile fire.

Aldarion hits the few that approach for melee combat with Cone of Cold, making them easier to kill. There will be more Cultists at the top of the stairs. The book can be gifted to Wynne, but she's already at max approval. I find a Taper that is needed to make progress, as well as a book called Discovering Dragon's Blood: Potions, Tinctures, and Spicy Sauces. I instead go to through the next door to the south. There's a dead body at the end, but I leave it be for the time being since it is relevant to a different quest. This time I go to the first hallway that went left. I squeeze the most profit out of this by choosing the 'collateral' dialogue option when I get the chance. They're apparently an authentic account of the last days of Maferath, the earthly husband of Andraste. I bring them to Sister Justine, who is next to the Chantry in Denerim. One of the piles on the floor has Ancient Encrypted Scrolls. I follow the hallway to its end, and find a library of sorts. I see a door that can't be unlocked until I find the key for it later on. Here is where Brother Genitivi leads me to the front door of the Ruined Temple, and uses the Cultist Medallion to open it.įirst, I go down the first hallway to my right.
