He's pretty burned at Aldarion too, except Duncan intervenes with the Rite of Conscription to recruit Aldarion into the Grey Wardens.Īldarion is brought to the fortress of Ostagar. Everyone comes to, whereupon Greagoir has Lily sent away. Jowan suddenly reveals his Blood Mage powers to knock them unconscious and then escapes. Once we go through the door, we get apprehended by Knight-Commander Greagoir, First Enchanter Irving, and a couple other Templars. We then leave through the door that was sealed against magic, and then make for the stairs back up to the Apprentices' Quarters. Jowan rather ceremoniously drops his Phylactery to the floor to break it. Of course I always make sure Aldarion lands the killing blow. I take out the two Sentinels first then deal with the Sentinel Guardian. And again, I use the Cone of Cold against them when the positioning is right for it. Next is the fight against two Sentinels and the Sentinel Guardian. The way to the Phylactery Chamber is now open. Now I use the Rod of Fire in conjunction with the Tevinter Artifact that resembles a dog statue to blow a hole in the nearby wall.

I get the Codex Entry for "Tevinter Imperium" for this. Here is where I speak to a statue that holds the essence of Eleni Zinovia, past consort to Archon Valerius. Note that I'll need a successful Persuasion check to be able to keep it. A nearby chest has a decent interim staff, the Blackened Heartwood Staff (+2 nature damage, +2 spell power). I continue westwards and kill more Sentinels.

The other has an Enchanter's Cowl (+5 mental resistance, +5% to all damage resistances), which is a welcome upgrade for Aldarion. And lucky me, one of them has dropped a Garnet that I can hold onto for a quest much later in the game. Sometimes this means holding up on my own spells, and letting Jowan cast his spells, so that I can deliver the killing blow before Jowan's cooldowns elapse. Furthermore, remember that I always try to make sure I land the killing blow if I can for the xp. Note how I always seek the optimum position for both party members and the Sentinels before I unleash the Cone of Cold. I continue on and through the next door, battling more Sentinels along the way. The belt is obviously no big deal, but I hold onto the Amulet because about three of the future NPCs will end up wearing one of these. Chests in the small room to the south hold the Apprentice's Amulet (+1 armor, +5% cold resistance, +5% fire resistance) and the Ephemeralist's Belt (+1% spirit resist). I continue south for a bit and then kill off a few more Sentinels. Then the Leader can be saved for last.Īpprentice's Amulet and Ephemeralist's Belt The Leader isn't especially tough so I go to work on the others first in order to cut down the numbers. Next is a fight with two Deepstalkers along with a Deepstalker Leader. Aldarion catches all of them with a Cone of Cold and then makes it a priority to take out the Robed Sentinel as quickly as possible, since its spells can become a nuisance. At around 1:28, he selects +1 Dexterity, +1 Magic, and +1 Cunning on his level up so that he can acquire the Improved Coercion skill.Īt around 4:15 of the video I run into two Sentinels and a Robed Sentinel that can cast spells. Note that I won't get any xp if Jowan or Lily land the killing blow, so I always make sure I get the killing blow.Īldarion always uses a well-placed Cone of Cold spell whenever he's faced with multiple Sentinels. The video largely consists me fighting Sentinels which are not tough individually. I'll get the items back from them later on so that I can subsequently sell them. I equip Lily with a Mace and a Dagger, while I equip Jowan with a spare Magic Staff. So now it's time to make our way through the various chambers in the basement in search of Jowan's phylactery. The video concludes with me killing a single Sentinel. The door to the right, however, does open after using the Rod of Fire. The second door is an anti-magic door that I can't do anything about.

I can get through the first door thanks to a password that Lily has obtained. The next part of the video involves me trying to help Jowan and Lily get through the repository doors so that they can reach Jowan's Phylactery. We go down the stairs to the Apprentice Quarters and then through the door that leads to the Basement. I begin the video by informing Jowan and Lily that I have obtained the Rod of Fire.
