====What to do with Connor====
Eventually, the Warden will reach the Main Hall of the Castle and find Bann Teagan (possessed), Connor (possessed) and Isolde. A cutscene leads to a fight between the Warden and a group of dominated guards, led by Bann Teagan himself. Connor runs away in the midst of the confrontation.  After the battle, the Warden is asked to make a decision regarding to how the Demon possessing Connor should be handled:

; Option 1: '''''Kill Connor'''''
: While this may seem like the simplest option, it can soon become apparent that this task is more difficult than it appears. On the second floor alone are large groups of undead waiting to lay waste to the party, and it may be necessary to cycle in your best fighters before venturing upstairs. It is also wise to bring a decent rogue, as the Redcliffe Vault contains a decent cache of treasure and equipment. The vault's key drops from the (possessed) Chamberlain on the main floor, but after this quest is completed only sufficient lockpicking can (re-)open that door.

: As for killing Connor, you had better come prepared. Connor himself will lose control, and the Demon in its 'true' form will block all exits from the room. Out of all the options, this is definitely the hardest, and the ensuing battle is far more difficult than the possible options below (not including Broken Circle, which has tough fights of its own).

: The Demon will start off the fight with [[Area of Effect|AOE]] spells, which it will repeat every now and then between single-target attacks. It has high health but its spells can easily be avoided as long as the group keeps moving. When its health reaches a certain amount, the Demon will disappear in a burst of light that brings a few Rage Demons. These deal significant damage when ganging up, but can be killed rather easily. Between finishing them off and the return of the Desire Demon

: The demon will come back and run through its spells once more, not really changing strategies. It will teleport once again when its health gets low enough, bringing in more powerful and more numerous rage demons.

: Hopefully the Desire Demon is now sufficiently weak enough for you to dispatch it. Cutscene: The Warden is summoned to the Arl's chambers to discuss his situation.{{Note|Although there is a dialogue option allowing the player to be moved by Isolde's plea and back down from killing Connor after the fight, she will soon determine that her son has suffered a grievous wound and will want to end his suffering then and there.}}

; Option 2: '''''Jowan's Ritual'''''
: If you freed Jowan from his cell earlier on, or at the very least did not kill him, you have the option of utilizing his rather unpleasant talent for Blood Magic to deal with the Demon in its own territory. Jowan will explain that he can do this alone, but he will need two things: A mage to enter the Fade and kill the Demon, and a person to sacrifice in the process. Isolde will tearfully step forward as the one who will die, and will not be persuaded otherwise, so there is only the matter of which mage to send. A mage Warden may enter the Fade and deal with the demon personally (possibly gaining a powerful prize in the process). Otherwise, you will need to 'volunteer' one of the mages available. Once this is decided, the ritual can begin.

: A slightly disturbing cutscene will ensue, in which Jowan will begin to cast his spell and Isolde will ready herself for her fate. In an instant, Isolde will be gruesomely killed, as if run through by an invisible spear. Your chosen mage will also be wounded and brutally hurled to the floor. Pale, unresponsive and apparently lifeless, s/he will depart from the physical and journey into the realm of the Fade...

{{Note|Options 1 and 2 lead to a conversation initiated by Alistair the next time the party is directed to [[Party Camp|camp]]; see ''Alistair's Reactions'' below}}

; Option 3: '''''Travel to the [[Circle Tower]] for help'''''
: This will spare Connor and Isolde. ''This option will be unavailable if [[Broken Circle]] is already completed '''and''' the Warden sided with the Templars.'' If the party has not yet braved Kinloch Hold's abominations, the resolution to "Arl of Redcliffe" must come after it is completed - and without taking the Templars' side. (This 'wait' will not make any difference to Connor's condition, nor to Eamon's.)

{{Note|It is worth exploring most of the castle (including the upper floor) before proceeding. Certain enemies and items will be removed after this quest has progressed.
*If you choose to do this after sparing Connor on the main floor, it is best to not approach him on the second floor. Be very careful if you speak to him here: most dialog paths will incite the demon to attack, meaning death to either Connor or the party. Also, do not try to enter the Arl's bedroom (directly behind Connor) or the demon will seize control, with the same results. You ''can'' enter Connor's room (to the left when facing him) without triggering this conversation.
**When returning with mage support, go to Irving on the main floor to proceed with the ritual; Connor remains in front of his father's room until this quest is resolved.}}

: Of course, among the consequences of this choice are the reactions of Companions.
