Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After completing The Siege of Weisshaupt Main Quest, speak with Harding at the Conservatory of the Lighthouse to begin.
  2. 2
    Travel to the Deep Roads. Head south through the Ancient Mineshaft to the Kal-Sharok Outpost.
  3. 3
    Defeat enemies outside the outpost and speak with Stalgard.
  4. 4
    Inside the outpost, take the Kal-Sharok Abides Memento to the right.
  5. 5
    Follow Stalgard until you are ambushed by darkspawn. Prioritize destroying the blight to stop respawns, then deal with ranged enemies.
  6. 6
    Head up the stairs to find a lift blocked by a stone. Use Harding's ability to move the stone and take the lift.
  7. 7
    Proceed south through the Mining Tunnel to a fork. Head right.
  8. 8
    Shoot the blights behind wooden fences on the left and right sides of the room.
  9. 9
    Use Harding’s ability to reach the platform above and climb up.
  10. 10
    Clear the enemies in the large open room. The root of the blight is in the center.
  11. 11
    Destroy the boils by following the branches from the root, then destroy the root itself.
  12. 12
    Proceed through the newly accessible path and slide down the ramp.
  13. 13
    Return to the fork and take the left route this time.
  14. 14
    Use Harding's ability to climb up and jump across wooden platforms.
  15. 15
    Follow the path to find a Frenzied Ogre. Strip its shield with heavy attacks, then use combo-attacks/fire-based spells.
  16. 16
    Destroy the second root using the same method as the first.
  17. 17
    Return to Stalgard and follow him through the Lyrium Sanctum to meet The Oracle.
  18. 18
    You will be ambushed by Wrath of the Stone. Start by removing its shield with heavy attacks.
  19. 19
    Once the shield is down, deplete its health using combo attacks and Necrotic attacks (via Emmrich or Lucanis) against its elemental weakness.
  20. 20
    Dodge Wrath of the Stone's heavy-hitting AoE attacks, indicated by large markers. Use ranged attacks while skills recharge.
  21. 21
    After defeating Wrath of the Stone, a cutscene will play, concluding the quest.
