Prologue
Search for Solas
Varric is telling an ancient elven legend.
The protagonist of the story is Thoras, the Dread Wolf. People's descriptions of him are polarizing, either praising him as a peerless hero or accusing him of being a master of lies.
Solas's greatest contribution was to defeat the ancient elves and establish a shadow magic barrier to separate the current world from the magical outside world.
However, now Solas wants to destroy this magical barrier with his own hands. Although everyone is puzzled, everyone knows that the consequences of his doing so will be serious.
So the heroes set out on the road to save Solas from tearing down the barrier.
Next, choose your desired race, appearance, profession, faction, game difficulty and finalize all your choices.
As the plot continues to move forward, everyone follows Solas to his world.
The story begins here in an old bar.
Through the plot dialogue, you will meet Varrick, choose the plot section, and get the effect you want.
Next follow Varric to the next target on the map.
You will start a journey of exploration and complete various tutorial operations according to the prompts on the screen.
New teammates
Afterwards, you will encounter a citizen who is targeted by the enemy. Varric recommends leaving the area to rescue the citizen.
Once you reach the trapped citizen, you'll find that Hardin was the first to save her.
What follows is a series of battle scenes. At the beginning you can only perform normal attacks.
Hitting the enemy continuously with normal attacks can form a combo effect. At this stage, just defeat the enemy.
Pay attention to the gold coin boxes that can be collected in some rooms. Picking up gold coins can be traded with merchants in the city later.
In addition, keep an eye out for some green clay pots on the streets. Breaking them will reward you with green potion bottles, which fill up with extra health.
By default, you can use 3 health potions,You can restore the used medicine bottles by picking up these green medicine bottles.
Obtain skills
Continue to explore along the road, you can use the run key to move quickly.
After arriving inside a palace, continue to clear out enemies, and then reach the static electricity field outside the palace.
You will then unlock the skill attack here in the Static Field.
Skill attacks can cause a lot of damage to enemies.
After defeating the enemy, you will meet your third teammate Nave here.
Next, you need to rush to Solas' ceremony site.
The roads here will be relatively narrow, so when walking, keep the route as much as possible.
As you approach the battlefield area, you will unlock your career skills.
(The author is using an archer, so the archery skill is unlocked)
Under normal circumstances, professional skills will cause a lot of damage to the enemy, but there is a charge or cooling time.
After the battle, explore the cave and find graffiti on the wall along the way.
Pass through a large stone door, find the switch position, open it, and explore the inside of the room.
Walk a short distance forward and you will come to the ritual mirror. After passing through the mirror, you will come to the ritual cliff.
Arriving at the ceremony
Continue along the target path to the location of the ceremony. You will also encounter a small number of enemies on the way, just clear them out.
When you reach the final location, you will encounter the BOSS Arrogant Ghost.
This BOSS has more health points than ordinary enemies, and will release lightning skills, which can cause a lot of damage to you.
You just need to keep running and rolling to effectively avoid his attacks.
Pay attention to the landing point of the electric energy ball he releases, there will be a red circle warning in advance.
After killing the enemy, everyone will face Solas. At this time, you can choose the dialogue plot you want.
Note that most of the time, the choices made at the end of each level will affect the ending content of the game.
For specific information, please refer to the strategy branch of how to achieve the game ending.
To continue advancing the plot, you can choose to have one character hold Solas down while the other two characters go to other roads to find a solution.
Continue following the path above the Enchanted River until you find the Ritual Pillar.
According to the plot, you and your teammates will overturn the ritual pillar, which will eventually lead to the failure of the ritual.
If the ritual fails, the teammate in your team who is dealing with Solas will be injured.
Solas's failure seems to have had more serious consequences, and more high-level demons have entered the real world.
After the collapse
As you pass out, Solas and you will be trapped in a world of nothingness.
According to the plot, you will learn that Solas is powerless to do anything about the current situation.
You need to rely on your own methods to find a solution to this unexpected disaster.
The final choice here will also affect the next plot change of the game.
You can choose to engage in a verbal spat with Solas or start a battle.
Anyway, you will return to the real world, where you will meet two of your teammates.
One of them is recovering from his injury, and the other one will continue to explore solutions to the problem with you.
