Open The Gate of Lost Ages

To open the Gate of Lost Ages, you must defeat and claim the essence of the champion Quyn The Sparkwielder in Docktown. Behind the gate is a Red Lyrium Crystal Puzzle you will have to solve to access the area where the statuette is.

Defeat Apprentice Sullivan

To reach the next area, after solving the puzzle, use a ranged attack to lower the ladder. Defeat the mini-boss - Apprentice Sullivan, then destroy all of the red crystals to unseal the barrier. Climb up the ladder then defeat all enemies to claim it.

Open The Gate of Faded Glories

The First Statuette is a Trap

There's another stauttete that you can find by exploring the area behind the Gate of Faded Glories within Elvhenan's Haven. You can reach the gate after finishing both Sea of Blood and The Smuggled Relic Case. Track the quest and return to Arlathan Forest once you have defeated Entarus The Rekindled.

On claiming the statuette, you'll be ambushed by Antaam enemies. You later find out that the statuette was a fake and that the real one is somewhere nearby. Navigate through the floating islands in the area.

Claim The Real Wolf Statuette

You'll eventually see the statuette under this small archway on an island directly behind where you found the fake one. Once there, clear the enemies then claim the statuette.

Speak to The Inquisitor

The Inquisitor automatically gives you 1 Wolf Statuette during the main quest Shades of the Blight. This quest is just a dialogue sequence that progresses the main story and is unmissable.

View Memories in The Lighthouse

Once you have at least one statuette, you can place them on pedestals in The Lighthouse. A quick cutscene plays that show parts of Solas's past, then you enter a brief dialogue with your team to discuss after.

These are important lore information and will help you during the last leg of this quest, so make sure to take notes.

Meet with Morrigan

After viewing all 6 of Solas's memories, the Caretaker will point you towards Morrigan, who's waiting at The Crossroads. This will be another dialogue sequence introducing more backstory, but also some important things to remember before confronting a fragment of Mythal.

We recommend Saving before and after speaking to Morrigan. She'll open up the blocked path. Proceed when ready.

Speak with Mythal

Upon arriving at the Nest of the Ancients, you will find Mythal waiting for you. She is very reluctant to help you, as she believes you are not worthy.

You now have the option to convince Mythal to help you, or fight Mythal to prove your worth.

Should You Convince or Fight Mythal?

How to Convince Mythal

Obtain Mythal's Approval

Mythal will give you a total of 4 opportunities to convince her to help you. To succeed in convincing her, you must pick 3 good choices or 2 good choices and 2 okay choices.

To instantly get Mythal to agree with you, pick the following answers:

> Solas is helping me.
• Respected him.
> We must stop the blight
• You stood against it.
> We Must Stop the Gods.
• They wronged you.
> We are Worthy.
• Building a safe place.

The bad options will offend her and immediately start the fight, so be careful when picking. The other options are:

Solas is Helping Me.

• Forgotten him. (Okay)
• I'm sorry that happened. (Bad)

We Must Stop the Blight.

• People will die. (Okay)
• The blight is your fault. (Bad)

We Must Stop the Gods.

• Put the blight aside? (Okay)
• We need no gods. (Bad)

We are Worthy.

• Fighting monsters. (Okay)
• I'm following your example. (Bad)

Instantly Convince Mythal

If you've completed Bellara's Companion Quest chain, and bring her along to find Mythal, a special option will appear during the “We must stop the gods.” prompt.

Rook can choose to say “We've stopped Anaris.” if the god has been defeated in Bellara's companion quest, called Through the Shadows. This will instantly convince Mythal to help, and Bellara will greatly approve.

Failing to Convince Her Leads to a Fight

If you fail to convince Mythal, either by picking 'bad' answers, or by selecting the [Forget it. I'll fight you] option, she transforms into a High Dragon which you have to defeat.

Regrets of the Dread Wolf Best Rewards

Unique Equipment

You can acquire powerful Unique Equipment the end of the quest. What your get, however, depends on whether you convince or fight Mythal.

Mythal's Essence is Guaranteed

Whether you decide to convince or fight Mythal, you will always get Mythal's Essence, which is important for the True Ending of the game.

Endings Guide

You Can Get Both Rewards

You can get both Unique items from this quest. To do so, you must first convince Mythal to help you. This rewards you with Mythal's Light.

Once the quest completion screen disappears, jump down into the arena and follow the path out. At the end of the path, you will find the chest containing A Pale Reflection.

Doing this will also grant you Mythal's Favor, which will come in handy during The Heart of Corruption quest.
