However, if gamers understand how to beat the puzzles, the quest will be a breeze. This guide will explain how to initiate and complete the What Pride Had Wrought quest inInquisition. Players will need at least forty power to begin the quest.
Initiating The Quest
Gamers should be at least level 16 before attempting to begin the quest, as it is recommended for levels 16 to 19. Players must also complete the Wicked Eyes and Wicked hearts quest, as well as the Here Lies the Abyss quest to access the mission. Players can initiate the mission by visiting the war table. Gamers that would like to complete the Under Her Skin and Before the Dawn quests should finish them before beginning the What Pride had Wrought mission, as they will be unavailable once it is completed.
Objectives In the Arbor Wilds
Speak With Josephine
First, players will need to head over to theInquisitioncamp and speak with Josephine. Ofthe eleven companions,Morrigan will accompany playersduring the quest. The camp is small, and players should not have much trouble finding Josephine. Gamers can then proceed to the second camp, loot, and follow the path toward the tunnel. There, players will notice some of the allied NPCs fighting with Red Templars. Aftermaking short work of the enemies, players will need to head to a lake at the bottom of the hill. There will be a few enemies to kill in this area as well before players can continue to travel Northwest.
The Path To The Temple
Gamers will eventually reach a river where there will be a number of warringInquisitionand Templar soldiers. After winning the fight, players need to cross the river and continue along the clearly marked path. Once the “Discovered: The Ruined Archways” notification appears, there are several more enemies to dispose of just around the corner. Once the Behemoths are killed, players will follow the path to a third camp with more enemies. The path will then lead gamers to another ally versus Templar battle in the river. Just beyond the warring factions is the entrance to the Temple. A cutscene will begin as soon as players pass through the archway at the end of the tunnel.
Corypheus' Death And Resurrection
Upon entering the outskirts of the temple, Corypheus will be killed by an undead being and he is then resurrected as a cursed creature. After a series of discussions and dialogue, gamers will need to navigate their way deeper into the Temple of Mythal. In the center of the outer courtyard, there will be a platform with tiles that glow when any character stands on them. This will be the first puzzle players need to complete.
Complete The South Ritual Puzzle To Open The Door
All gamers have to do to gain access to the Temple is walk on the correct tiles. Gamers need to start at the south side of the platform and walk around in a counter-clockwise described below:
Morrigan will have a few words to say before arguing with Solas. Next, players will proceed into the Hall of Shrines where they will have to battle through a group of enemies.
Path To The Well Of Sorrows
The East Puzzle
After discussing the well, gamers will need to complete the second of the three Temple puzzles. Similar to the last puzzle, the second will require players to walk on the tiles in a certain order. Players should proceed up the stairs and begin walking to the right. Gamers can follow the steps below and reference the image above. Starting at either the first tile or the fortieth tile will work.
The North And West Puzzles
The image above displays the path to complete the third ritual puzzle in the quest. Because of the number of twists and turns, a visual representation is needed. After completing the puzzle, gamers will need to head east through a series of doorways to the next puzzle.
Another representation of the path for the Fourth puzzle is included above. It will be on the west end of the courtyard. This is by far the most complicated puzzle, and gamers will need a visual guide to complete it successfully. After completing all four puzzles, gamers will proceed into the tunnel.
Finding The Well Of Sorrow And Corypheus
The Tunnel
Players will need to fight their way through waves of enemies as they proceed further into the depths of the temple. Gamers should look around, as there will be ancient writing to discover throughout the mission. Any closed doors along the way should have a lever nearby and players can use their torch to locate them. Upon proceeding to the great hall in the temple, Abelas and the sentinels will appear. Once the cutscene dialogue ends, players will follow one of the sentinels who will lead them further into the Temple. Gamers should inspect each of the mosaics to unlock a codex for each along the way.
Well Of Sorrow
The sentinel will guide players to the Well of Sorrows. At the bottom of the stairs, gamers will confront Calpernia, who ran into the temple earlier in the mission. Calpernia will realize that she was manipulated by Corypheus and leave the temple. Meanwhile, Abelas is caught attempting to destroy the well. After several minutes of dialogue, Morrigan enters the Well of Sorrow to wield its power and defeat the resurrected Corypheus. Corypheus appears and Morrigan uses her newly acquired powers to ensure the safe departure of her allies.
