I am in the northern part of the Western Approaches, and there is a barrier called "The Gates of Toth" which I am unable to pass, as the game text says I am lacking a mechanism to open it. But there is no further text pointing to any clues.
Did I miss something along the way, or will there be some sort of operation/future quest to open these gates?
Thanks in advance!
This one took me a while to figure out as well. It's not obvious at all. And apologies if anything is unclear, I kind of did it by accident so I'm going by memory.
Basically you have to follow the story chain:
1) Claim the Griffon Wing keep
2) Obtain quests there, one should be about Darkspawn (I don't remember if this was immediate unlock or after something else)
3) Once you clear the Darkspawn, a second part of the quest unlocks to the north, where the poison mists are. You have to inspect an area to unlock a War Room mission to access this area (sorry, forgot the name)
4) Once the area is unlocked, you should be on a mission to investigate the darkspawn. You head up the ridge and you enter Coracavus
5) Complete that area, and this exits you out into the previous locked portion of the map, behind the two locked doors
6) You can now open the doors from the inside
I hope that helps, and again I'm sorry if I'm missing details, but I think I covered the gist of it.
I am having the absolute worst luck with this and it's becoming increasingly frustrating. I have no idea what to do. I did all war council missions around the approach and am now at a complete loss. I need to claim the last camp and collect things for two Inner Circle missions, and all three are behind the Gate of Toth and Andoral.
PLEASE HELP.
Where are you on the list of steps posted by amranthe?
One thing to note: the quest to find the darkspawn (step 2) isn't spontaneously given -- you have to speak to Knight-Captain Rylen (highest level at the Griffon Wing Keep, near where you raised the flag to claim it). He mentions three problems: water supply (involves killing varghests), bandit squatters (involves returning to the Tevinter Ritual tower to clear them out), and darkspawn. You may have to ask about each for further details to unlock those quests.
ETA: If you fast-travel directly to the keep, Rylen should be right in front of you. Look for his cone-hat.
Once you have the mission, find the marker north-northeast of the Keep, and you'll run into more of that green smoke stuff. Planting the "claim" flag there (it looks like a landmark flag) will open a new op at the war table called "Find the Source of Darkspawn" (takes 5 power but completes immediately). This in turn opens a new quest north of Griffon Wing Keep called "The Trouble with Darkspawn" (step 4 in amranthe's list).

Just to add to this for those still to come, in order to get the Assault Griffon Wing Keep quest so you can claim it, you have to meet Frederic, the Orlesian scholar. The quest to find him is called Draconology. He gives you the keep quest. I must've killed bad dudes in that keep four or five times before I realized I was missing something.
