New Areas & Locations in Dragon Age: Inquisition
Discover new areas within the Deep Roads and the Sundered Hall during your Dragon Age: Inquisition journey. This guide details key locations, including where to find important notes, supply caches, and strategic points for combat encounters against Deepstalkers and Qunari.
Upon entering a northern doorway, use your anchor to illuminate the room. Descend the stairs to encounter Deepstalker lizards. After defeating them, loot the note near the statue in the center of the room. Continue through the cavern, using your anchor to light dark areas as needed.
The path leads to Jerran, who reveals the Qunari presence in the Deep Roads and the need to stop Viddasala. After speaking with Jerran, you must decide his fate. Regardless of your choice, Jerran will die later, allowing you to loot his body for a Superb Amulet of Second Wind. Before proceeding, loot the supply cache in Jerran's room if necessary.
Proceed through the southeast door to find more Deepstalkers. After the second group, interact with an explosive near rubble, then quickly retreat before it detonates. Follow the path eastward, reading the note by the mage fire to your right.
Further along, you will encounter Qunari at the end of a bridge. Use electric or fire skills to detonate nearby explosives, or prioritize mages on the stairs if you lack these skills. Follow the ledge around the cavern to reach the Gaatlok Primers to the east.
After navigating the Deep Roads, you will return through two Eluvians. At the second Eluvian, Qunari will ambush you. Once back in the courtyard, you acquire the Anchor Blast skill, an upgrade to Anchor Discharge that damages surrounding enemies. Take the Eluvian up the stairs to the right from the courtyard to reach the Sundered Hall.
In the Sundered Hall, turn left to loot a skeleton. Ascend the ruined stairs to find a Qunari corpse and a spirit archivist. Listen to the spirit, then pass through the Eluvian behind it to enter the Lower Archives. Head west and descend into a preserved section of the archives to find codex entries. Turn north to activate the last egg, then retrace your steps to the courtyard.
Back in the courtyard, you will face four spirit Librarians and poisonous spiders. Prioritize the spiders due to their ranged attacks. The spirits are relatively easy to defeat. After the fight, use the supply cache and cross the bridge to Viddasala. Following a cutscene, engage Qunari, focusing on mages first, then using area-of-effect attacks on melee enemies. Use Mark of the Rift if necessary. After the battle, loot the area and speak with the spirit upstairs to the east for information and an exit from the Shattered Library.
