Complete The Final Piece in dragon age inquisition. Learn how to defeat the Guardian of Mythal and prepare for the fight.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Speak with Morrigan:
    • If 'Morrigan's Ritual' was completed: Find Morrigan in the room with the eluvian in Skyhold. She has entered the Fade through the eluvian after Kieran. Follow her into the Fade. Head south, speak with Morrigan, then continue south, west, and north through the Fade to find Kieran beside Flemeth (a vessel for the Elven goddess Mythal). The Inquisitor's actions depend on who drank from the Well of Sorrows. If the Inquisitor drank, they will stop Morrigan from attacking Flemeth and learn how to find the key to defeat Corypheus. If Morrigan drank, Flemeth offers her a deal, which the Inquisitor witnesses.
  2. 2
    If 'Morrigan's Ritual' was not completed: Find Morrigan in the Skyhold gardens. She will explain that defeating Corypheus requires summoning Mythal and harnessing her remaining power. Travel with Morrigan to the Altar of Mythal using a Fast Travel stone.
  3. 3
    The Altar of Mythal:
    • Preparation: Before traveling, prepare for a High Dragon fight. Equip items with fire resistance and use frost staves. Apply Dragon Runes to weapons for increased damage against dragons.
  4. 4
    Travel: If 'Morrigan's Ritual' was completed, you travel alone. If not, Morrigan accompanies you. Use the Fast Travel icon to reach the Arbor Wilds.
  5. 5
    Approach the Altar: From the Arbor Wilds, head south-east towards the Altar of Mythal.
  6. 6
    Flemeth Encounter: Dialogue options with Flemeth have no lasting consequences. Loot the box beside the altar after Flemeth disappears.
  7. 7
    Return to Skyhold: Exit the area the way you came and visit the War Room to proceed.
  8. 8
    BOSS - Guardian of Mythal:
    • Stats: Health: 286187, Defence: 78, Resistance: Greater Fire Resistance, Vulnerability: Cold, Immunity: All Disabling Effects, Cold.
  9. 9
    Attacks: The Guardian has immense health but only needs to be depleted to half. It uses attacks similar to other dragons: fireballs, firebreath, claw swipes, tail swipes, and a wing flap that pulls you closer. The terrain is flat with nowhere to hide.
  10. 10
    Strategy: Bring two tanks to take turns taunting the dragon while two ranged characters inflict damage. Move away immediately when the dragon raises its claw for a sweeping attack. Dodge fire breath by moving away when the dragon raises its head. When the dragon flaps its wings, warriors can attack while ranged characters try to escape. Use replenish potions as needed.
  11. 11
    Defeat: At half health, a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) triggers, allowing the Inquisitor to stop the dragon's attack. Leave the area to return to Skyhold.
