I may have just stolen from Fen’Harel…

Ops.

Y’all. Solas had all this gold the whole time. This is insane.

WHAT. How is there yet another place I haven’t been in Trespasser???

I must find this secret chamber!! How/when do you access it???

So this is the location where you first go through the eluvians and you need to get a wolf statue to put on the pedestal to cross the bridge. Once you do that, instead of going into the Sanctuary, go around the perimeter. It’s near the back. You’ll have to travel down the cliff side to get to it.

There’s also a body in the same area with a note on it mentioning the purple lightening and the intruder, which you need to get the “I know you’re Fen’Harel” dialogue when you run into Solas.

You won’t actually be able to explode the gatlok barrels until your third trip through the eluvians. Once you get the
Anchor Blast

upgrade while traveling the library, you can back track to the Sanctuary.

Vivienne: So, an apostate?
Solas: That is correct, Enchanter. I did not train in your Circle.
Vivienne: Well dear, I hope you can take care of yourself, should we encounter anything outside your experience.
Solas: I will try, in my own fumbling way, to learn from how you helped seal the rifts at Haven.

Solas: Ah, wait! My memory misleads me. You were not there.

shit I am now listening to all the solas/vivienne banter i can get my hands on. i’ve NEVER traveled with them together. this is amazing. a whole new world.

Was digging around for one of my favorites, apparently it’s a Cole/Solas banter and Vivienne buts in at the end if you take her with you:

  • Vivienne: You should not encourage that thing.
  • Cole: Solas is not a thing.
  • Solas: Well said.

Cole has some good burns for Vivienne and I think my personal favorite one is one that happens in the Hissing Wastes if you have him, Solas and Vivienne in the party: 

  • Cole: Look at all the stars. Their light is very far away. Some of them are gone.
  • Solas: Vast but still. Does it bother you, how different it looks than the sky in the Fade?
  • Cole: At first, I didn’t remember. Now I just want to forget.
  • Vivienne: The creature has more riddles for us, it seems.
  • Cole: It isn’t a riddle. I can say what I mean without you understanding.

YOU TELL HER COLE

YOU FUCKING T E L L   H E R 

His head is often in the sky, his mind flitting over ancient ruins and broken memories. Pressed against her bed, her lips flit across his ear and fill his head with whispers. She brings him back, towers over him, her weight draped across his lap and holding him firmly to the ground.

She shifts in shapes beneath his hands. Curves that rival the grandest sonallia; fingers arched into dragon’s claws that scrape across his skin; angled knees and elbows and hips, a masterpiece of geometry to put the oldest dwarven thaigs to shame.

Honestly, I think part of the reason why I’m so fascinated with Solas is that Solas reminds me so hard of all the potential disasters I’ve ever worried about with my own video game protagonists.

Like, so often in games (especially Bioware games) you get asked to make these world-shattering decisions. Your characters go on these quests to stop a great evil, to battle gods, to bring order, or sow chaos, and at the end you’re left with the power to utterly change the world. And that’s not really a power that should ever rest with just one person, but in these narratives, it so often does.

And afterwards, I usually find myself wondering about all the worst case scenarios. Sometimes I get a bad ending and it’s just like ‘well I guess I’ll start over and try again…?’ But even when it’s a good ending, all too often it’s ambiguous enough that it still seems like a lot could go wrong further down the road.

To me, this is Solas. This is what happened to Solas. He is one of those video game protagonists. He got to the end of the adventure and he had to decide to separate Magic from Reality in order to seal the gods away, and he had no real idea what would happen afterwards except that the gods wouldn’t be able to destroy the world. I’ve freaking done that. Anyone who has played Final Fantasy VI has done that.

And then he woke up in motherfucking Thedas aka Apocalypse Tuesday and found out that everything was a disaster.

At which point his first thought was ‘okay, I’ll start over and try again’ because the world was approximately as real to him as a video game, so why the heck wouldn’t that be his first impulse?

But then – then he screwed himself over. Then he went on an adventure in Thedas. Then he made friends. Now he can’t start a New Game Plus and try for a different ending without erasing all of that. The man is fucking boned. It’s like all the things I ever worried about for my Charnames and Knight Captains and Revans and Exiles and Shepards and Wardens and Nerevarines and Dragonborns all comes crashing down around Solas, this poor sap who was just trying to save his stupid people from their own stupid selves.

I have just… I have walked too many miles in those shoes, at the mercy of a game writer’s narrative whims, to not feel for him. To not want to help save him from this goddamn mess. Every choice-based RPG I have ever played has trained me to empathize with Solas.

And I just wish my Inquisitor could take him by the shoulders and look him in the eye and go:

“You must gather your party before venturing forth.”

Returning to Skyhold after the Temple of Mythal

Me/Lavellan: [wanders into Solas’s study]
Solas: We need to talk-
Me/Lavellan: OH I THINK VARRIC IS CALLING ME I’LL COME BACK

TWO HOURS LATER:
Me/Lavellan: [hops over the banister from Dorian’s nook into Solas’s study]
Solas: Come with me vhenan, there’s something I want to-
Me/Lavellan: OH IT’S TIME FOR MY CHEESE WHEEL EYE TREATMENT WITH VIVIENNE I MUST GO

TWO DAYS LATER:
Me/Lavellan: [flings self with wanton abandon from Leliana’s rookery into Solas’s study]
Solas: …I believe you’ve been avoiding me.
Me/Lavellan: CAN’T DUMP ME IF YOU CAN’T CATCH ME BITCH
