Black Vials
- 1) Toppled Statue in the desecrated chapel in the Senior Mage Quarters.
- 2) Glass phylactery in one of the Back Alley random encounters in Denerim. In this encounter you start on a stone platform up a set of steps and the glass phylactery is on the platform with you. It is the same encounter during which bandits trap one of your party members by dropping a portcullis that must be lifted using a lever. (This vial can only be found during this one and only random encounter, so be sure to pick it up!)
- 3) Glass phylactery in a room in Orzammar Royal Palace (the eastern-most room/kitchen).
- 4) Glass phylactery near the centre of Caridin’s Cross.
- 5) Glass phylactery in the far bottom room on the right side of Lower Ruins in Brecilian Forest. The glass phylactery is directly in front upon entrance. It resembles a pile of filth with two vases sticking out of it.
- 6) Glass phylactery in Werewolf Lair, the top left room in the middle of the map.
Scrolls of Banastor
- Senior Mage Quarters of the Circle Tower: Ancient Texts in the southeast ruined room. In the same room as the first 3 blood mages, but on the other side.
- Great Hall of the Circle Tower: Ancient Texts In first room in the northwest large room.
- The Ruined Temple visited in The Urn of Sacred Ashes quest, directly south of Haven. It is in a library in the southeast corner of the map. There are several bookshelves with books on them so you can’t miss it.
- Western section of the Ruined Temple, called the Cultist Chambers. From the Main Hall map marker, take the west door to the Cultist Chambers area. The scroll is in the room just northwest of the Cultist Chambers map marker, in a pile of books marked ‘Ancient Texts’.
- Lair of the Werewolves. The scroll is in a pile of books marked ‘Ancient Texts’ in the southeastern chamber, the area just north of your final meeting with the Lady of the Forest and Zathrian. (It is possible to miss this one on your initial visit, due to the cutscene where the Warden interacts with the Gatekeeper wolf. If this happens, simply return to the Lair after the conclusion of Nature of the Beast and collect the scroll.)

- Rescue Oswyn from Arl Howe’s dungeon and tell his father about it.
- Rescue Sir Irminric from Arl Howe’s dungeon and return his ring to his sister.
