Dragon Age Origins Walkthrough Part 19 – The Arl of Redcliffe – The Fade with Connor

Head back to Redcliffe Castle. As you do, likely you will witness a scene with Loghain, an Advisor and Zevran. After it, head into the Castle and go to the main floor. From there go into the main hall and talk with First Enchanter Irving. He will tell you everything is ready for the ritual. Choose one of the mages that you have access to and they will be sent into the Fade.

The Fade
Head on forward and to the left. Go to the Northwest corner to find Arl Eamon there. Talk with him and try to get through to him. Now head South to the nearby portal. Head on through it.

Go North from the Portal. Follow the path up the slope to the bed. There you will find Connor. Talk with him. Regardless of the choice you make, he will transform into the demon possessing him. Defeat the Demon this time and head back to the portal.

Back at the first part, return through the portal. Got East then North. Go through the first archway you find to locate Connor again. He will once again transform into the Demon. This time the demon will be aided by a Lesser Rage Demon. Defeat them both then return to the Portal.

Head North from the Portal. You will come across Connor quickly. Talk with him again and once more the demon comes out. It is again aided by a Lesser Rage Demon so be somewhat wary of what is happening. Head back to the South and back through the Portal

Head over to the West to find the Lust Demon waiting there for you. If your character is a mage, she can make the offer to teach you the Blood Magic Specialization. Only if your character is a mage can this really end peacefully. Aside from that, whoever entered the Fade must fight the Demon.

If the Warden is the one who entered the Fade, it becomes possible to barter or intimidate the Demon into granting you something. This is no easy feat to pull off though with intimidation (Expert or Master Needed). You can simply barter, as long as it is made clear you are willing to make a deal. Any other option will result in a fight:
“Arcane secrets. I want to know specialized blood magic” - Opens Blood Mage Specialization
“I'll take pleasure, demon. Show me what you've got” - Kissing scene with the Warden and Demon
“Pleasure is empty. I want the love of those around me” - +20 Approve to one companion's rating
“Keep it simple. Something to increase my talents” - Gain a Tome of Ethereal Suggestion, granting an extra Talent or Spell

Her tactics  will not really change so just pelt her with spells until she is at half health. There she will split herself into multiple images and there is need for you to figure out which one. Trust to the targeting and you should find her quickly. That and looking for the most solid of the images. For every wrong one you hit, the demon will regain a solid portion of her health. She can easily recover up to three quarters of her health this way.

After the battle, the Lady will suggest finding the Urn. She tells you to seek out Brother Genitivi. Before you leave this room, head around to the opposite side of the bed to find the codex entry, “The First Blight: Chapter 2”. Head to the opposite side of the room to find a Pile of Books to examine. This gives the codex entry, “Histroy of Ferelden: Chapter 1”. Now head out of the castle and it is time to track down the Brother. Take a moment return to the Camp to trigger a talk with Alistair. Just make a few choices and you can easily get a lot of approval out of him.
