Corypheus's Prison - Sashamiri's Floor

Sashamiri's Floor is the first floor accessed by Hawke in the Grey Warden prison constructed for Corypheus. Hawke meets the corrupted Grey Warden Larius for the first time on this floor, and unlocks the first magical seal that is preserving Corypheus's prison.

Walkthrough
Hawke enters Sashamiri's Floor from the Carta Hideout.

There is a Gather Your Party horn and the Storage chest located immediately after entering the prison.

In the large room just north of the entry point, you encounter the first of several magical prisons housing demons - a Shade is imprisoned here. The voice of Malcolm Hawke speaks to confirm that all manner of demons have been bound in the prison. To kill the Shade, it is necessary to activate the two glowing trigger points called a Mark of the Binder on nearby walls. You then activate the third trigger point on the magical barrier which releases the demon. The fight involves the imprisoned Shade and several replicas. Once all of the demons have been killed, the quest Malcolm's Will is triggered.

Further into Sashamiri's Floor you encounter Larius for the first time. He explains that The Hawke's Key can be used to break the seals holding Corypheus, and that Hawke must work down through the prison breaking each seal. See the entry for Legacy (quest) for further details on the seals and levelling-up the Key.
