Make sure you get the three notes about the Watchguard of the Reaching. You can loot the chests and read the books and notes on the floor. There shouldn’t be anything in here that wants to kill you. It’s also a fairly long quest, but you’ll get a good healer out of it.Įxplore the first set of apprentice quarters for a bit. Once you go into the tower, you have to finish the quest before you can move on to the next one. Talk to the quartermaster if you need more supplies, and then head through the door when you’re ready. You can either side with the templars and get their aid in the final battle, or stick with the mages. You can also chose to support him by going in yourself to kill the abominations and “cleanse” the mages. This isn’t good if we want to get the mages’ help. He’s also going to use the Rite of Annulment to kill everything inside. It seems like a bunch of abominations have been pouring out of the tower and he’s sealed it off. Once you’re across, you’ll meet Knight-Commander Greagoir. Don’t bring Morrigan to the tower though, since she’ll try to provoke Wynne and you’ll end up losing some approval.

I believe I had two levels in Coerce and made it through, so it shouldn’t be too tough. If that fails, you can drag Morrigan along with you for a little help. You should be able to use some basic persuasion to convince him to let you cross the lake. You can talk to the ferryman if you want, but your main goal is to talk to the templar standing by the dock. There isn’t much to do on this side of the docks.
