Walkthrough | Corypheus's Prison - Tower Base DAII: Legacy Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Leave the narrow corridors of the prison to find yourself in a bit wider environment. On your way to the Corypheus's Tower you will find new quest and make a moral choice which will influence the ending.
Move along till the horde of the deep stalkers attacks you. It's not a difficult opponent they rather rely on their number. They also like to spit so when they focus on one character things may get messy.
The path leads to the left but it's worth to wander a bit and check the other side. You'll find there a page from the journal (1) describing the story of Tethras Garen. This will trigger the Paragon's Heir quest which you will finish before leaving this level.
You can find the notes of another legionnaire in the ruins of the nearby building (2). The note will reveal something more about the Garen's case. You'll encounter a group of genlocks and hurlocks with few alphas (stronger ones). First of all try to eliminate the tank with the cover which charges can change the result of the fight. Don't let the crossbowmen shoot at you for too long.
Eventually you'll reach the stairs leading to Dumat's Ritual Scroll (3). It's the third item out of four to complete the Dumat's Altar quest. Moving on that rocky path you'll enter the mausoleum with a sarcophagus (4). To reveal its secret you have to light all torches. If you light those marked on the screen (with the description "torch") the sarcophagus will open and you'll find the gloves inside.
The place of Dumat's worship is quite close (5). You can get there easily but you need one more item required for the ritual. If you don't bother you can profane the altar ("profane altar" when you have a close look at it) but the shadows and demons will attack you. When you defeat them you will find some interesting items. If you look for the fourth object you will receive the Chain of the Penitent. The choice is up to you.
You need the urn (6) to finish the ritual. The deep stalkers guard the passage to it altogether with huge spiders. When you notice them... wait. You'll see they fight each other so wait till they're weakened. You can take the urn and go back to the altar if you wish so.
Finishing the quest Paragon's Heir won't require any fight. You need to read the third legionnaire's journal (7) and pray upon the Tethras's body (8). The award is the amulet. This is the last side quest in Legacy.
When you enter the bridge the alpha genlock will try to surprise you (9) altogether with some hurlocks carrying crossbows. Then go left towards the next seal's guard (if you have Anders in your team he will be possessed) or go right and find out some interesting speculations about Kirkwall (10). Gaining this knowledge will cost you fight genlocks, hurlocks and emissary (also some alphas).
The next fight with the guardian (11) isn't much different than the previous ones. This guard also teleports and creates clones (not so strong as they seem) but they are difficult to differentiate. But this guardian won't die fast so take your time. It can also paralyze and drain life. Once more you can pick weapon bonus:
The pillar of reduced speed | 25% chance of reducing the speed of the attack and movement |
The pillar of knockdown | 5% chance for knockdown |
The pillar of critical damage | +5% extra damage for the critical hit |
The pillar of critical hit | +2% chance for the critical hit |
At the end you'll meet Larius and a group of the Grey Wardens led by Janeka. They will quarrel and then you'll have to choose which side to take. It doesn't influence the ending, only the way to get there. These are your options:
- Agreeing with Janeka who thinks she knows how to use Corypheus to fight the Blight (you'll be moved to Daneken's Floor),
- Continuing your trip with Larius in order to kill the enemy (Riannon's Floor).
