That's why it's rather easy to come to the conclusion, at this point, to use the mother's life in a ritual to save the boy. This was at the behest of the boy's mother, however, so she has no one to blame but herself for this entire situation. Jowan practices illicit blood magic, and it appears that he taught the boy some spells in secret. Jowan will appear in the hall at this time (again, things will go completely differently for you if you didn't free him earlier, or opted to kill him, or told him to leave Redcliffe). Now travel to the tower of the Circle of Magi and help them, so that they would help save Connor without hurting anyone.

There must be another way to enter the fade.Īfter that, continue exploring the castle, but don’t go past the vault on the second floor (where Connor ran away to, because you’ll be fighting the demon possessing him now, and the arlessa will have to sacrifice him!).

Jowan, what can you add to this conversation?.

I thought he’d be useful, seeing as he helped start this.

(After the battle at the main hall, when Jowan comes in)/ (With Connor, as soon as you enter the main hall of Redcliffe castle)/ There is a way to save Connor, without hurting him or his mother the arlessa (freeing Jowan is essential for this), by following these conversation options: The boy's mother's blood can be spilled instead. There's no reason to spill the young boy's blood. But you'll find out that there is another option if you freed Jowan earlier, which is why we implored you to do so. It's clear that the boy is possessed, and it seems that to free him from the devil's spell, along with the castle as a whole, the boy will have to be slain. From here, any number of things can happen. Unharmed and free from the demon's possession, Teagan begins to see clearly, and apologizes for being taken under (though it's actually Connor's mother that got him into this predicament in the first place).

When the battle is won, you'll see Teagan get back to his feet.

If you didn't let them in before breaching the castle, then you might find yourself overwhelmed by the sheer number of foes you have to down here, and in such a tight space to boot. You have little to worry about in this fight, though it will be a lot harder without Ser Perth and his men.

Once he's taken care of, the rest of his possessed friends will fall easily. While you won't actually kill him (which is good - he's a nice man), you'll still need to down him. The real threat here is Teagan, though he isn't nearly as powerful as, say, the Revenant you fought outside. The Guards in the room are actually complete pushovers with so many blades, spells and arrows coming their way, so don't worry about them too much. With Ser Perth and his knight companions at your side, this battle will be much, much easier.
