Dragon age origins should i destroy the anvil

She will require the Warden to disarm the traps in the area for her. Upon trapping the Warden, a large group of darkspawn will arrive and attack the party.

Upon disarming the traps, the Warden will gain access to Caridin 's forge, where they will meet Caridin. Caridin will tell his story to the Warden, explaining how the Anvil of the Void works. To 'power' his golems, he used the lives of dwarves if Wynne is in your party, she will comment that this is equivalent to blood magic. At first, Caridin only accepted volunteers. However, the king at the time began forcing others to become golems.

Golems became a common sight, often being traded to the magocracy of the Tevinter Imperium and controlled using control rods.

Caridin states that when he opposed the king's decisions, he was punished by being forced to become a golem himself. He then asks the Warden to destroy the Anvil, because he is unable to touch the Anvil as a golem. Branka will arrive and argue that with the technology of the golems, the dwarves would be able to reclaim the Deep Roads and their homeland. Caridin responds by stating the sacrifice is too great and stands by his decision to have the Anvil destroyed.

The allies assisting the Warden will be two Normal Golems. The Paragon you support will be immobilized. The quest choices in Dragon Age Keep. Depending on who was supported during the conflict involving the Anvil Caridin or Branka , the Warden Treaty will be fulfilled in varying ways.

Before leaving the area, approach the tablet. After interacting with the tablet, Oghren or Shale will inform you that it is a registry of some kind. This is, in fact, the Golem Registry , a record of all the people who voluntarily and not-so-voluntarily sacrificed themselves to become golems.

Take a tracing of the tablet; this can be returned to the Shaper Czibor for a reward. Showing the list to Shale will also trigger the quest A Golem's Memories provided you agree to look into it. The fate of Shale in Dragon Age Keep. The election is based on a point system depending on the player's choices. Click here to see how it works. This can be noticed after asking Assembly Steward Bandelor about how the election is going. Generally this system has only minor relevance to the plot. After resolving the issue at the Anvil of the Void , the Warden can speak to Oghren to proceed directly to the resolution of this quest.

Alternatively, upon returning to Orzammar, the Warden can speak to Bandelor to proceed. Bandelor will call the Assembly to crown the new king. The Warden can recruit him and the Legion of the Dead to assist in fighting the Blight.

Dwarven Wardens need only ask; non-dwarves must pass a high persuasion check. If the Legion is recruited, they will integrate into the regular dwarven units, causing their members to appear alongside normal dwarven troops during the Final Battle when the dwarves are called upon, and Kardol will assist in the battle against the Archdemon.

He says he feels as if he's about to fall off the world with all the sky he says this even if you have already left Orzammar with him in the party before A Paragon of Her Kind was completed.

You need a Paragon! See Orzammar for other quests in the area. Note: You may wish to refer to the Epilogue for more information as to how these candidates deal with Orzammar.

Note: Siding with Bhelen initially gives earlier access to the Aeducan Thaig and does not require fighting in the Proving. Note: Siding with Harrowmont initially gives slightly more experience and gold due to the Proving quests.

However, you can also do the provings later if you support Bhelen, so in the end, Bhelen will yield more total experience. Aside from Oghren and Shale if you have that DLC , as mentioned, you can basically just metagame the Anvil of the Void outcome you prefer.

Shale is a stone golem and potential companion in Dragon Age: Origins. Oghren will automatically talk to the Warden about Felsi, if his approval rating is above Agreeing to help him find her will begin the quest.

Alternatively, speak to Felsi in the Spoiled Princess after finishing A Paragon of Her Kind not recommended if you want them to end up together. The Deep Roads are a grand network of enormous underground tunnels that once belonged to the dwarven empire, spanning the length and breadth of Thedas. Jaws of Hakkon you need to be at least level 20, and The Descent around If you read the war table description it does have recommended levels.

One thing worth noting is that Jaws of Hakkon is aimed at those who have played a fair amount of the main Inquisition story. First of all you need to enable console command in order to enable cheat codes. For that you need to make a short cut to dai. The Golden Nug allowed players to synchronize their previous collections by interacting with the statue with a new character at least once. Once you launch a brand new game, the statue will appear and become interactable. Golems have some melee and some range attacks and are pretty tough to bring down.

Honestly, I prefer the golems especially if you can convince the Legion of the Dead to join your army , but really it's personal preference. Also, as far as character approval, if you destroy the Anvil, Oghren is really the only one who will be upset. If you preserve it some of your more morally upstanding characters like Wynne will get mad. User Info: BerserkrQueen.

Still, I think the bad outweighs the good even more than in Harrowmont's Caridin-Ending. If Bhelen and Branka work together, Bhelen works with Branka, providing her everything she needs, and eventually alienates her by insisting that he be allowed to control all the golems they make.

This leads to a short civil war, which Bhelen calls off when he realizes that Branka is too powerful to neutralize. Adding this to the fact that Bhelen doesn't need golems to prosecute the war against the darkspawn more effectively than had been done before, I think that the better choice under Bhelen is not to keep the Anvil.

By Bhryaen - Thu Jul 11, pm. If better for the player, no, there's no 1 pt of Con to gain or Reaver specialization to unlock or anything. If you kill Caridin and appeal to Branka's lunacy, you get a very few golems with which to fight the final assault of the game in Denerim, but otherwise it's just a roleplay decision. In terms of better regarding the epilogue, what riverdaleswhiteflash and others on the thread have said is generally true: Branka and the Anvil go together like children and pedophiles, and both the Bhelen and Harrowmont endings end up worse.

The Bhelen ending actually bodes well for Orzammar though with the Anvil destroyed. True also what one poster said: always seemed kinda odd that a huge golem could pound away on it for centuries but could never break the Anvil, but a squishy just has to smack the Anvil once with a regular mallet something it's designed to withstand and poof- rubble.

Ah, plot devices
