Start of quest
To activate the quest "Guardian of the Limit", go to the rooms of students. One of them got to an ancient secret and now everyone is in danger. To neutralize her, find six student records. Note that in the location of a lot of obsessed and demons.
And though these are not the most powerful opponents, there are still a lot of them. In addition, in this location you will have to fight with the Tearing Shadow. And at the very end, you will meet with boss Shah Wird. Note that as soon as you enter the rooms, the door will close behind you. And until you clear the area, there will be no way out. Therefore, before setting off on a dangerous adventure, stock up on supplies from the quartermaster.
Passage of the quest "Guardian of the Limit"
First you need to find six notes of the student. If you play the PC version, then this is easier to do, because active objects are highlighted by pressing the TAB key. In any case, quest notes are hidden in the following places.
- Ground floor - students' rooms. You will find one note in the first room behind the door that the templars close. To the place where you meet Wynn. The next one is in the next room. You will find the last note on this floor if you delve into a pile of books dumped in the second section of the library.
- Second floor - chambers of senior magicians. You will find one of the notes in a room in which three wizards fight the obsessed. Find the second in the upper room on the map.
- Third floor - Great Hall. You will find the last note you are looking for in a room with three statues. The subject lies next to the distant statue.
Now that all the notes are collected, you need to solve the riddle. To solve the puzzle, activate the statues in a certain order. The algorithm looks like this.
- Statue with a bowl.
- Statue with a sword pointing up.
- Statue with a sword pointing down.
- Statue with a shield. This statue is located in the central room, from which there are steps to the upper floor.
After activating the statues, a click will sound. Now you need to return to the students' rooms.
Boss fight
In the room where you met Wynn, the vault door will open. Shah Wird, the Demon of Wrath, will come out of it. Once upon a time he was imprisoned in the lower floors of the Citadel. But now that you have activated all the statues, the magical fetters of the demon have been removed. And Shah Wird broke free to destroy all the wizards in his path.
Fighting this opponent is difficult only with a non-pumped hero. If the stealth skill is less than the fourth level, then do not even try to activate it. Combat tactics are similar to other Demons of Wrath. He has a high level of attacks. To reduce damage, apply warm balms. And of course, remember that such opponents are vulnerable to cold, and they have high immunity to fire.
In the battle you will be helped by Peter, Kayleigh and Kinon. And this is very useful at high levels of the game. But if in the story mission, you took the side of the templars, then when passing the "Guard of the Limit" these magicians will not be in place. Therefore, you will lead the battle alone.
If the magicians become allies in the battle, then do not let Shah Vird kill any of them. Otherwise, an incorrect record of Vinn's death will appear in the code. After defeating the demon, the quest "Guardian of the Limit" in Dragon Age will be completed. And you can go in search of new adventures.
