Walkthrough | Vimmark Wastelands DAII: Legacy Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
To discover the Hawke's family history you need to go upstairs of your mansion where you will find an object described as the Memento of the Past. Touch it and you will hear another Varric's story about the Champion travelling to the Vimmark Mountains and revealing the mystery hidden there.
The Champion has travelled there after being attacked by the Carta gang. The case is odd and it needs to be explained right away. Gather your team and move. While travelling you will hear a scream. The problems starts when you notice the Carta's member (1). He will explain that he needs the Champion's blood because of some case connected with the Hawke's father - Malcolm.
The talk ends with a fight. The duel as usual at the beginning of the new adventure is quite demanding, mostly because of the archers standing higher. Try to eliminate them in the first order and pay attention to the life level of the rather delicate companions. The archers and the other Carta's members will be supported by few other warriors. Then open the gate (2).
Bronto will appear here in a moment. It is big, maybe not the mightiest, but be careful when it charges. Other dwarves will appear and attack you from both sides. During the fight try to withdraw from the center because the bandits may trigger the trap that will shoot the blades. They don't have to do it but better be careful. The other gate is closed (3).
The key is in the chest behind one of the platforms (4). Take a look on two rocks lying on the edges. That will give you two new entries to the codex. When you pass the gate you can go to the passage.
