Then it's Ostagar (and Flemeth), Denerim, Warden's Keep and Haven. It's fairly easy and there's very tasty loot.

Honnleath is the best if you're solo-ing.

Plus it gives you a reason to go to the Circle besides. Redcliffe probably makes the most sense story-wise since Alistair suggests it, and you know the Arl is sick from Lothering. And she's a massive boon in combat besides. Circle would obvs be first if you're metagaming for the Attribute points, and Wynne has a LOT of camp dialogue, so it's better to get her sooner rather than later. Redcliffe, Circle and Honnleath are the first three, but the order isn't set. If you have these toys then the battle is absolutely glorious, so I don't like to go there without them.Įdited by DarthGizka, 25 January 2014 - 12:55 PM. The big battle in the Deep Trenches is most fun if the team has spells like Fireball and Inferno, and the melees are wearing Wade's superior armour. So we don't go there if we don't have the spell. The Warden's Keep requires the Fireball spell, for knocking Avernus into a circle. Everything else gets varied as much as possible, except for two things. the Whirlwind dual-wield line for a sword & board warrior) are just as useful to have in Redcliffe, for pretty much the same reasons. Besides, any secondary abilities that a character may want to learn for peak efficiency in the endgame (e.g. It serves as a nice dress rehearsal for what comes next. So the team only goes there after everything else is wound up and all lose ends are dealth with. Otherwise you are bound to lose some allies or some kills. Redcliffe itself is always last, because you need a fully trained and equipped team with sufficient combat experience in order to do a decent job there. It does have some minor challenges but no major headaches (like a certain spider queen elsewhere), and you get the raw materials for Wade so that he can get busy making some nice armour. In all other respects it is Haven that makes the ideal first major stop, as a kind of proving ground for the new team. The Broken Circle is very often the first major stop after that, because otherwise the Warden would have to overspend on secondary stats like cunning for skill/ability requirements. You have to do some major questing anyway before you can book the other revenant there two birds, one stone. That way you can leave the phylactery for later, when the team can eat revenants for breakfast. There is a good chance to avoid the Denerim phylactery, by restricting travel in Denerim itself to the necessary minimum (The Pearl) and by travelling back to the market district by way of the camp if there is no specific encounter booked. Plus, it is in Denerim that you initiate the quest line for Wade's raw materials, and Leliana needs to go to Denerim anyway in order to deal with some issues from her past and to pick up some nice kit. One side-quest gives you a guaranteed boss-level abomination instead of a random encounter, another questlet gives you the Seal of Rat Red instead, stuff like that. Certain random encounters, like the one with many locks and traps, can be avoided early on by booking specific encounters for any travelling that needs to be done. Tomes alone won't do at that point, since both Morrigan and Leliana need to improve their primary stats before they can learn their most urgently needed new abilities.Īfter that, the party is in a shape to travel pretty much anywhere, except that Leliana still cannot beat the more difficult locks and traps (DC 45 and up). That gives the party basic lock/trap disarm ability and the mighty Cone of Cold. Denerim is always the first stop after Lothering, unless the Warden is a rogue.īetween the Market District and The Pearl you can earn quite a bit of money and - more importantly - Leliana and Morrigan can get the rest of the experience they need for levelling up for the first time.
