Castle Cousland - The Battle

Castle Cousland - The Battle

  1. This is your starting point once the battle against the forces of Arl Howe begins. A nearby chest will hold a few mundane weapons and armor.

  2. Come here to find your mother, Eleanor Cousland. She'll give you a Key to open a nearby treasury. She'll also become a companion in your party. The chest inside has a random item or two.

  3. Here you'll come across groups of Howe Soldiers who will attack you. If the Mabari War Hound is with you, make sure to flank your opponents whenever possible in order to maximize the number of hits you land.

  4. Here is where you'll find a few Howe Soldiers attacking a servant. The servant will declare the castle fallen and flee.

  5. Here is the guard post. You'll be able to find a Cousland Guard Shield.

  6. Howe KnightHere is the treasury, the door to which requires the Key. Once inside, you can find the Family Sword (Grey Iron) and the Shield of Highever (Grey Iron).

  7. Here you will find Ser Gilmore trying to hold the main hall against further penetration by Arl Howe's soldiers. A group of them will burst in, along with a Howe Mage. Try to surround and take out the Mage first, since she can easily wear down low-level parties at a distance with repeated shots from her staff. Then mop up the others.

  8. Here you'll have to fight more Howe Soldiers, as well as a couple of Mabari Hounds, led by a Howe Knight that packs a maul. Remember, flank whenever you can, and don't be skimpy with your healing poultices.

    9. Duncan Arrives
  9. Here you find your father, Bryce Cousland, gravely wounded. Your mother becomes determined to stand by his side, even in death. Duncan in the meantime arrives, and offers you a place with the Grey Wardens and a chance to escape the invasion of Arl Howe's forces. This brings you to Ostagar.
