A Gathering of Powers

In "A Gathering of Powers," you'll face the Lyrium Ghoul, a formidable Darkspawn variant. After an initial ambush where Harding gains magical powers, you'll learn about Prime and Detonator enemies. The Lyrium Ghoul returns for a boss fight; at 50% health, more Darkspawn join. Completing this mission awards 1,850 XP and the bow, My Regards, and leads to discussions about Harding's new abilities back at the Lighthouse.

The Lyrium Ghoul is a powered-up version of common Darkspawn, possessing more abilities than standard variations. After a cutscene, Harding develops magical powers, and you will be ambushed by a group of Darkspawn. During this encounter, you will learn about Prime and Detonators.

Once you defeat the initial group of enemies, the Lyrium Ghoul will return. During the boss fight, when its healthbar reaches 50%, additional Darkspawn will join the combat. After the fight, you will return to the Lighthouse to discuss Harding's newly acquired powers.

Upon completion of "A Gathering of Powers," you will receive:

  • 1,850 XP
  • The bow, My Regards
