How to unlock: Finish the “Reports of Darkspawn Activity” operation

Quest giver: –

The entrance to the first cave to the North

Once you’ve finished “Cleaning House” at the Storm Coast, the “Reports of Darkspawn Activity” operation will become available in the council room. After completing it, you’ll gain access to a quest that involves traveling to a location and sealing off four strategic passages that darkspawn use.

The tunnel in the first cave

Head to the first campsite to the North of the nearest grotto (M5,8a) at the Storm Coast. Inside the hole in the wall, you’ll find a tunnel that you need to magically seal. Locate the spot where your mage can use magic and move over the large boulder to close off the passage.

The tunnel in the second cave

The second passage is located in the cave between two fragments of the coast (M5,8b). You’ll need to venture deeper into the cave to find the opening past the bonfire.

The corridor projecting outwards

The third hole (M5,8c) in the wall is outside and cut into one of the slopes. It’s not being guarded by monsters, but by Red Templars.

The last tunnel to seal

The final tunnel (M5,8d) to seal is located in the South-West-most cave, where the river starts. The opening becomes visible after entering from the left (from the North).

Rewards for completing the quest:

• Medium amount of experience
• 200 Influence Points
• 2 Power points
