Dragon Age: Origins Hints
Free the castle of the demon's control.
1 of 6: After the cut-scene, you'll have to fight Bann Teagan and all of his possessed guards.
2 of 6: During the conversation following that battle, you'll need to decide how to handle the demon-possessed Connor.
3 of 6: If Jowan is still alive, you can arrange to have one of your mages sent into the Fade.
4 of 6: If you've already finished the Mage Treaty Quests, you'll also have the option to go ask the Circle Tower mages for help. Talk to First Enchanter Irving in the tower, then return to the castle and do the ritual the same way as if Jowan was helping you. (Note that this is the only way to keep both Isolde and Connor alive, and to avoid big approval drops with certain companions.)
5 of 6: The only other option is to forget the whole Fade ritual thing and chase Connor down. You'll have to do this if you can't take either of the above options.
6 of 6: TIP: If you want to do the Fade ritual, first choose to chase Connor down so you can get all the loot and combat XP that are available along the way. When you reach Connor's room, don't talk to him, but instead go back and talk to Isolde and choose to do the ritual.
