Gate of Parched Hopes Objectives
Defeat The Hossberg Wetlands Champion
How to Beat The Disciple In-Ichor
| Weakness | Resistance |
|---|---|
| Fire | Necrotic |
Head to the Old Crossroads region of the Hossberg Wetlands. There you'll see a giant Blight Cyst housing the Disciple In-Ichor. Defeat all of the normal enemies first before releasing the champion.
Watch for Its AoE Attack
This champion has a modified version of the usual Ogre's moveset. It has two unique attacks. The first one is a teleporting overhead slam, while the second one is having an explosive aura.
The Disciple In-Ichor will usually use his teleport move to reposition itself, while its explosive aura goes off every few seconds. You can only evade to avoid damage, so this will be a drawn out battle if you have a melee class.
Fortunately, this boss is weak to Fire damage, so bringing both Davrin and Taash can make things fairly easy for you. Have them both equipped with the invulnerability so you to face tank hits and get in some nice attacks.
Unlock the Gate of Parched Hopes
Fast travel to the Elvhenan's Haven in the Crossroads and use the Champion Essence to unseal the Gate of Parched Hopes and proceed. Follow the path to arrive at an arena where a boss fight will occur.
Defeat Slaughter of the Pillars
| Weakness | Resistance |
|---|---|
| Necrotic | Cold |
In the arena is an encounter against the hidden boss, Slaughter of the Pillars. Party up with Emmrich and/or Lucanis and use Necrotic Damage to exploit its weakness.
After defeating the boss, collect its Revenant Essence to progress The Heart of Corruption side quest. Exit through the western gate to find a Timelost Hoard containing the Andraste's Will unique ring.
