Mountain Top
The Mountain Top is a snowy summit reached during the Urn of Sacred Ashes quest, connecting the Ruined Temple to the Gauntlet. Players face Kolgrim and his cultists here, where they must decide whether to side with the cult or fight them. A massive, slumbering High Dragon circles and roosts nearby, which can be optionally summoned and fought.

Tips
- Positioning your party behind the High Dragon's rear legs avoids both its frontal cone breath attack and tail sweep.
- Frost spells like Cone of Cold and Blizzard are extremely effective at dealing damage and slowing the High Dragon.
- Agreeing to Kolgrim's proposal will anger Wynne and Leliana, potentially driving them to leave or turn hostile depending on your actions.
