Something's Coming Objectives

Destroy the Blight Eruption

Find the Blight Eruption

Something

Fast travel to the Castle Grounds Beacon and head towards the castle. A strong blight will block the gate and disable access towards the blight eruption, with numerous darkspawn and cysts nearby.

Destroy the Blight Tendrils

Tendril 1 & 2
Tendril 3
Tendril 4
Tendril 5

Clear out the 2 tendrils on the ground and head left afterwards. Destroy the tendril on the way and head up the ledge to find another cyst near the ballista. Hop across the destroyed bridge to the second ballista, and destroy the tendril attached to the tower via the ballista or a ranged attack.

Destroy the Blight Eruption's Defenses

Cyst 1
Cyst 2
Central Cyst
Alchemical Flame

After destroying all the tendrils, destroy the blighted gate and head inwards. Clear the two cysts from either side of the room, then destroy the cyst on the center. Attack the blighted gate and head towards the blight eruption. Place the Alchemical Flame when prompted.

Burn it All

Something

Move away from the Alchemical Flame and head below the stadium. A cutscene will play where the blight eruption is destroyed by the explosives.

Talk to Evka and Antoine

Meet Evka and Antoine in the Sheltered Glade

Something

Return to the Grey Warden Camp and head towards the Sheltered Glade. A small cave will open up with Evka and Antoine inside, along with a pink tree and a patch of flora.

Collect Flowers for the In Peace Hidden Trophy

Something

During the conversation with Evka and Antoine, the game will inform the player that flowers have returned to the Wetlands. Places in the Old Crossroads and Solitude's Edge previously blocked by massive blight may now be accessed, each containing a chest and a flower. The flowers are required for the In Peace hidden achievement.
