Walkthrough

  • This quest is begun by completing the War Table mission: Attend the Exalted Council at a cost of 8 power. 
  • NOTE: Doing so will begin the ending of the game. You will not be able to travel to any other area or do any other main/side quest or even other DLC quests after this. The Trespasser quest is the LAST QUEST that you should ever do before starting a new game altogether.
  • Click here for the VIDEO WALKTHROUGH
  • You will start the quest at the Winter Palace, being informed of the current political state with Ferelden seeking or it to be dismantled and Orlais trying to take control of it.
  • You will want to speak to Tegan Guerrin and Cyril de Montfort first. You can also use this time to talk to your companions.
  • When ready, go through the Palace Gates to begin the Exalted Council.
  • You will be interrupted by Leliana during the meet about a dead fully armored Qunari's body being found in the palace.
  • Then folow the blood trail towards an active Eluvian (portal). Going through it will allow you to choose your companions and head into The Crossroads. It is a hub of other Eluvians all leading to different places.
  • Follow the blood trail to the one directly ahead to see it is inactive, but another is active just to its right.
  • Head through it to reach the Elven Mountain Ruins.
  • Head down the stairs and ahead to see another Eluvian. This leads to a broken bridge with a missing statue on the pedestal in front of it. You need to fix the statue to mend the bridge.
  • To do so, head to the Eluvian on your left instead to reach a tower with a Spirit Champion and other Spirit enemies. Talk to them and then kill them. (You can pass by safely without attacking them though if you drank from the Well of Sorrows)
  • Then head to the other side of the tower and examine the painted wall to dissolve it and learn that this place was created by Fen'Harel as a refuge for elven slaves.
  • Go through and enter the Eluvian to reach another tower with more painted walls around. It will tell you the Fen'Harel is just a mortal. Go down the stairs left by doing away with the barrier. Inside will be more walls to examine. Behind it you will find an elven device that causes your anchor to react. 
  • This will give you Anchor Discharge ability. This allows you to light the room and find a wolf statue that will fit into that pedestal in front of the broken bridge. 
  • Some Spirit Shadows will also start to attack you. Kill them and then head back to that broken bridge.
  • Place the statue on the pedestal and then cross the bridge and fight the Qunari.  Then enter the Forgotten Sanctuary.
  • Here you will see elven spirits fighting Qunari. Then you will see a mural depicting a Dread Wolf removing a number of elves' vallaslin.
  • Now you need to solve a veilfire puzzle to continue. The clue is "The Dread Wolf keeps its gaze on the one light that illuminates the way forward".
  • Light the veilfire and use it to examine the wall the wolf statue is facing. You will find a button on it that reveals a hidden staircase.
  • Head down to the Hidden armory where you fight more Qunari. Kill them to find some loot and Orders that reveal that they are looking to infiltrate Halamshiral. In the same room you will find a note regarding the agen of Fen'Harel.

  • Here you will have to fight Qunari Spearmen, Ben-Hassrath Agent and a Qunari Shock Trooper. Continue ahead to learn of a bad cave-in from the body of a dead Qunari. 
  • Head down the stairs until you are attack by some deepstalkers. In that room you can find the Codex Entry: Tom Notebook in the Deep Roads, Section 1 on a sleeping bag by the staircase.
  • Continue further to meet Jerran. He will tell you that the Qunari are lead by Viddasala. He informs you that she is here with her troops mining for Iyrium to strengthen the Saarebas as part of a plan called "Dragon's Breath". He also tells you that you can stop them by finding Gaatlok Primers which will allow you to sabotage the mining operation by exploding it.
  • Continue to the Lower Walways, past the deepstalkers and the Qunari. You will see barrels of Gaatlok which you can explode using fire,electricity or by hitting them to make your fight easier.

  • Inform Leliana and then go investigate the Guard's scuffle with an Orlesian servant.You can detain either the Guard or the Servant (no noticiable difference). You will obtain a note from the guard which Leliana can translate for you.

  • The shorter one will take you to the Broken Tower.
    • Here go up the stairs to speak to another Archivist. Head through the Eluvian to reach Scholar's Retreat and head upstairs to find an elven fresco.
