Cornered in the Catacombs Walkthrough
For this quest, you’ll need to clear the catacombs. Travel southeast of the quest giver to Aula’s Lookout. Cross the boat to reach the Catacombs.
Inside, clear the blight cysts on the ground and ceiling to stop the darkspawn from spawning. Enter the next room and defeat the darkspawn in the room with the Evanuris Altar. Look up on the roof and use Davrin’s Blight Hunter ability on it.
This will allow you to attack the other cysts in the room. You’ll need to do this several times as it’ll time out.
Once all the cysts have been destroyed, you’ll be able to proceed on the southwestern side of the room. When you reach the room filled water, move the rocks blocking the beam using the Eternal Hymn ability.
Once the door opens, head on through and attack the cyst on the roof. Backtrack through the water room and destroy the newly available cyst to access the elevator. Ride it up then destroy the enemies and cysts.
Head through the door to reach Glandivalis Square and speak with Warden Vesta. Afterwards, the quest will complete!
