Dragon Age: The Wellguard – Obstacles and Conquests Walkthrough

Across the crossroads area Dragon Age: VilguardYou can find portals tucked away in corners that lead to memories of the past. Each portal leads to its own sidequest, and the one in Athym's Heights is called “Disrupt and Conquer”.

None of the flashback quests in the game are difficult, but “Disruption and Conquest” is particularly easy. Still, there are some chests you might miss, and completing the quest is the best time to find a Fen'Harel statuette.

Where to start Dissolving and Conquering

After you start the story quest you can start “Obstacles and Conquers”. “The warden's best friend.” This story quest activates the third ferry at the Crossroads, which leads to the Heights of Athim region.

From Athim Dock, go up through the ruined building. You should see a large rock ahead. Head left, and you should see a path climbing towards the cliff. It will lead to a glowing green gate, and walking through the gate will start “Obstacles and Conquers”. Keep that in mind You can't go back through once.

Where to find each chest in Obstacles and Victory

After the flashback starts, go forward and leave the cave. But before you walk up the ramp, look to your left. You should find a small chest next to the cliff to the west.

At the top of the ramp, jump into the glowing circle to hear Solas and General Fellason summon a bunch of Chaos Spirits to attack. Once they are finished, the way forward opens. Go through, then immediately turn right. On this side of the wall is another small chest.

During this quest, the only enemies you will encounter are level one recruits. Even if you've avoided the optional quests and fights up to this point, these enemies should be easy to take down. To get the last few in this encounter, climb the stairs straight ahead. while you are here, Activate the ballista. You can use it to open the path ahead, which is a blocked arch to the left of the burning tree. You can then fire the ballista a few times to kill the recruits that run through the hole, or just fight them normally.

There's another fight with the recruits on the far side. Cross them into the burning pit, then go left. A pair of stairs should appear that will take you around the pit. You will then hear Solas and Felasan talking. Once they finish, the way forward will open and more recruits will come. Fight your way across the bridge, and when you reach the far end, the gate will open straight ahead. More recruits will rush in, but then Ivanuris will launch a massive attack that will destroy everyone.

Solas and Felassan have a final exchange after this, and Rook will appear in a new location. Open the large chest and Pick up the wolf statue to finish the quest. You can then ride the elevator down to the top of the cliff at Etheim's Heights.

There's a gate up here that leads to a large fade rift, but the way in is part of a different quest. If you already activated the altar you can also pick up the Fen'Harel Altar Statuette and Codex Entry. The zipline will take you back to where you started.
