Corypheus's Prison - Farele's Floor

Farele's Floor is the second floor accessed by Hawke in the Grey Warden prison constructed for Corypheus. It can be accessed only as part of the Legacy DLC and can only be entered from Corypheus's Prison - Sashamiri's Floor.

Background
Hawke continues to battle through Corypheus's prison on this floor, and unlocks the second magical seal that is preserving Corypheus's prison. It is also possible to complete the Malcolm's Will side-quest and to trigger the Altar of Dumat side-quest.

Walkthrough
Hawke enters Farele's Floor from the end of the first floor in the prison - Corypheus's Prison - Sashamiri's Floor. This floor of the prison is shaped roughly like the letter 'n' - with areas to explore on the east, north and west sides. You enter the floor in the south east corner and exit in the south west.

In the corridor leading right out of the first room, you encounter a Mark of the Binder (a glowing red light on a Grey Warden banner) used to unlock the second magical prison for the side-quest Malcolm's Will, along with the magical prison itself. The second Mark of the Binder is beyond in the next room. This prison contains an Abomination, who summons four Profane to attack you in the battle. Defeating the Abomination and the Profane updates the Malcolm's Will quest.

In the next room, a Darkspawn Emissary locks you in with four Corpses. Once the initial four are defeated, you can get through to the next room (which is the main room on the east side of this floor) to tackle the emissary and seven further corpses. A crumbling walkway to the west of the room contains a Viewpoint which triggers some party dialogue, and the room to the north (a long room with galleries overlooking the central pit) contains a big battle with Hurlocks, an Alpha, and a number of bolters.
 * A side room to the east contains the Crown of Dumat, the first of four ancient Tevinter artefacts required for the Altar of Dumat side-quest.

Along the north side of the prison, you encounter two interlinked rooms of prison cells. The first of these two rooms contains the third and final magical prison as part of the Malcolm's Will quest. The two Marks of the Binder are located in the first prison room, and then just inside the next prison room. The prison holds a Desire demon who summons Corpses and skeleton archers to her defence. Defeating the desire demon and the other enemies completes the Malcolm's Will quest. The voice of Malcolm Hawke explains the background to his role in imprisoning these demons. If Carver Hawke is in the party and it is after Act I, some dialogue is triggered with Hawke as to why Carver joined the Templars.

Heading down into the west side of the prison, into a long thin room with open galleries over the central pit, you are attacked again by a big group of Darkspawn, including Hurlock Grunts, Hurlock Alpha, and Genlock Alpha.
 * In a side room, you can pick up Dumat's Sacrificial Dagger, the second of the four artefacts required for the Altar of Dumat side-quest.

Finally, the path south leads you to the main central room containing the next Seal for Corypheus. The Guardian summons a number of replicas of itself as part of the battle. For the upgrades to The Hawke's Key available after defeating the Guardian, please see the Legacy (quest) page.

Following another dialogue with Larius, you exit down to Corypheus's Prison - Tower Base.
