Heart of the Many

<h4 data-rte-spaces-before="1" data-rte-spaces-after="1"> With Tallis </h4>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true">After Hawke leaves the Retreat and moves a short distance, their party is ambushed by Baron Arlange if he was not killed in the previous encounter. Baron Arlange claims he knew Hawke was a traitor from the very beginning and attacks the party. Hawke has no choice but to kill him this time, and can loot his corpse for Baron Arlange's Shield and Baron Arlange's Sword.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">The party travels in a general northerly direction. As Hawke moves north, the party spots a wyvern jumping across the path and into the bushes at the side of the road. If Hawke follows the wyvern further north, they will have to fight it in a clearing. After the wyvern is killed, ghasts appear from nests around the clearing and attack.

</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">The path then turns east, and a short while later a group of Tal-Vashoth led by an officer attack in a clearing at the base of a series of steps leading up the mountain. As you ascend the steps, the path bends to the south before looping back towards the north. At the bend towards the north, another group of Tal-Vashoth led by the Tal-Vashoth Leader attacks. When damaged enough, the Leader will run off up the hill to the next group of Tal-Vashoth.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">The fight from now on is more or less continuous as Hawke chases the leader up the mountain, fighting off more Tal-Vashoth and a Tal-Vashoth <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Saarebas%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Saarebas%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BSaarebas%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="10150-9893925075f2d57462eb20" href="/wiki/Saarebas" title="Saarebas">Saarebas</a>. The Leader will not be killable until Hawke reaches the summit of the mountain, with the Leader turning invulnerable and running off after a certain amount of damage has been done.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">After the Leader and all the remaining Tal-Vashoth are killed, a cutscene triggers where Tallis asks the leader about Salit's location. After the leader tells her, she kills him and informs Hawke that Salit is meeting Duke Prosper at the base of the mountain. Proceed back down the mountain towards where Hawke originally came from. From here, Hawke and the party are transported to the Ruins for the final boss battle against Duke Prosper.
