Get your hands on some sweet new gear.
Making Your Way to the Flooded Farmlands
Part of the main quest in this area also takes place along the way to the family farm. To save some time, feel free to take care of some of these objectives as well.
After you’ve spoken with Ida, you’ll need to progress further into Hossberg Wetlands to investigate the disappearance of the family she is searching for. You’ll need to fight through some tunnels filled with Darkspawn that will be in between you and the farm, with plenty of blight cysts blocking the path as well. Once you’ve taken care of these enemies and cysts, you’ll exit the tunnels and go into another area in the Hossberg Wetlands,Old Crossroads. You’ll also run into 9-10 Darkspawn enemies and an optionalChampion Blight Cyst. You don’t have to fight the champion within the cyst to get into the next portion of this quest.
Investigating the Farmland for Clues
Keep a close eye out when in this area for the notes you are looking for.
After you’ve taken care of the blight blocking the path to the farm, you’ll head north into theFlooded Farmlands, where this side quest will take place. Once you’ve made it you’ll be searching for four pieces of evidence of what happened here while the blight took over.
Be careful while on your way to the third note, there will be a cyst near a ballista that can be broken. This will have a Darkspawn Ogre and some smaller Darkspawn break through the wall connected to the cyst.
After all the notes have been collected, you will then be tasked with heading back to the well to end the cycle of madness. Go ahead and make your way back to where the second note was found and seal the well. Once the well has been sealed off and will keep people from coming to further harm, you’ll head back to Ida and tell her the news of what had transpired in the Farmland and what happened to the Voss family. you may fast-travel back to town or explore some more before turning in the quest.
