Introduction | Temple of Mythal

The Temple of Mythal ruins

The Arbor Wilderness and the Temple of Mythal are the final locations in the main storyline. The wilderness is where you witness the battles between the Orlais and the Red Templars. Your task is more important than picking sides. Once you reach the Temple, you can either perform the ritual or follow Corifeo’s factotum. Performing the rite is faster and more profitable. You can ally yourself with the ancient elves. The final stage is the battle against Samson, who you then judge in Skyhold.

Unlocking the location: After completing the “Here Lies the Abyss” main quest, you access the “What Pride Had Wrought” main quest, costing 40 Power points.

Recommended experience level: A party level between 16 and 19 is recommended to complete the quest without major problems. Loot corpses to replenish health potions during the long battle against Samson towards the end of the quest.

Important notes:

1) In the Arbor Wilderness, you do not need to fight all opponents, dash ahead to reach the Temple quickly.

2) You cannot return to the Wilderness or the Temple, so pick up all the loot regularly.

3) In the Temple, you can choose to start the chase or perform the rite. After performing the rite, you can get around the fighting Templars along the secret paths that the elves show you.

4) Towards the end of the quest, you can choose who should wield the power of the well. This choice affects the available dialogue options and the support from your party members later in the game.
