He thought since he was a Mage, he didn't need to spend any points into cunning, he though wrong.

 

So he just accepts strange elven artifacts from strange elves without even asking who that elf is, or why it is giving him that thing. He just goes and blows it up on his own.

 

Why didn't he detonate the orb in a cave full of bandits, or where a bunch of slaves/weaklings are gathered? Everything would end perfectly for him, but he had to choose a meeting of powerful people? How he even got there is anyone's guess. How can anyone not see a giant magical monster like him, or his henchmen before they got to the Divine.

Apparently Solas had spies that left hints and guided Corypheus to the orb and made him think he found it on his own. As for why he used the divine, I have no idea. Pride maybe, but either way he was a stupid and poorly done villain imo.

[Shadow of Light Dragon]

It's a bit weird the game never explains why Cory targeted the White Divine for his 'sacrifice'.

 

I can only assume he wanted the Divine because it might form some link to the Maker/GoldenOrBlack City. I'm not sure how he came to that conclusion considering how the magisters entered the Fade last time.

[Mr.House]

He didn't get the orb from Solas, Solas's agents arranged clues that led Coryfish to it, which we know he was already exploring eleven runes. He also wanted to prove a point by killing the Divine, the leader of the current big religion and cause chaos (which her death DOES cause) This wast he High Priest of Dumat, who does not believe in the Maker and saw that there was no Maker in the Black City, makes perfect sense he would target the Divine and since he is building himself as a god, what better way to show it by killing the leader of a religion that counters you and vilifies you.

 

As for why no one saw him, easy wardens snuck in and he was already possessing one of them, then went in his real body once they where safe.

Why not the Black Divine then? Isn't it Tevinter he wanted to bring back to the glory days and return to the worship of the Old Gods? 

[Daerog]

He killed the Divine to keep the Mage-Templar War going. She tried to stop it, so she had to be removed and cause distrust between the two camps again. This distrust would allow his agents to gain further ground within both camps and throughout southern Thedas, including the mind control over the king of Nevarra. 

 

The explosion was due to YOUR interference.

 

Edit: The servants of Solas, and Solas, underestimated Cory, as Solas thought Cory would just die from all that power, but just because he was human, that doesn't make Cory a weakling. Cory was ready to ascend as the elf gods once did, he knew how to work that orb.

Black Divine is in Tevinter. the White Divine would be at the temple of scared ashes that is connected to Andraste. It's about pride and wanting to prove a point and while it did not go all to plan, he still killed the divine which caused massive chaos and fear along with the mage/Templar war continue that allowed Envy and Alexious to continue their operations. The only reason why he did not get the anchor was we walked in, there was no proof that some magister or something would not have walked in if he went after the Black Divine.

As others said Solas led Corypheus to belive he found the orb on his own, and since he is at least 1000 years old I imagine he would know what the orb was. As to why he targets the Divine it is to cause chaos in the south to make his invasion easier. He kinda answers that question when you ask him about it during the attack on Haven.

[Anaeme]

Corypheus states his reasons in Haven...

 

"The chaos fuels my power"

 

Coryheus needed power to walk the fade and re-enter the Black City

[Star Reborn]

He is hax, too OP, yet he doesn't even make the Darkspawn his army.  They are endless, and perfect for him. Or maybe he doesn't know that he has the calling. It acts on his subconcous. He might even meet with his "friends", or the Architect. That's what I think is what he would had done had he not been led to the orb.

Someone never played the LEGACY DLC in DA 2.

 

The obvious reason why I would accept a elven artifact if I was in Corypheus's shoes was to live again because I woke up nearly so many years later only to be pwned because I wanted to do evil stuff but had no chance to.

[Shadow of Light Dragon]

Pretty sure he had the power to stop anyone who tried, all things considered

Corypheus*

[DarkKnightHolmes]

Spending a whole game on Corypheus was the worst idea. As great as trespasser was, it should have been the real ending of Dragon Age Inquisition instead of a DLC which only a few of the fanbase will ever get to play.

No, spending the game on Cory was a good idea. It's how we spent it that was bad. If we had a true Inquisition - discover the cause of the breach and the villain behind it all - suddenly a whole game focused on Cory is brilliant: we waste time pursuing the cartoonish villain while being praised as a chosen hero when all of it is a lie, and the true villain is the unassuming balf elf in our party.

He knows that he has the Calling, that's the thing he gave to Nightmare in order to spook the Grey Wardens. The problem for him is that that power of his only seems to work in small range (hence going to Nightmare for him to amplify it), so he probably couldn't control a large army on his own, not to mention the possible interferences from the remaining corrupted Old Gods...

[Aulis Vaara]

Best guess for why Corypheus chose the divine to sacrifice is that apart from a lot of lyrium and a lot of blood, is that he also needed a powerful spirit. And as we have seen, the faith spirit following the divine around was clearly very powerful.

I was under the impression that he did not know how to use the orb, and that Solas expected the explosion to happen.

Stop it with all the thought out reasonable explanations.

It's quite possible (and logical, considering what we know now) that the orb would have exploded whether the would-be Inquisitor touched the orb or not.

Too bad I don't want to be the chosen hero. I want to be the Tyrant with an iron fist over all of Thedas.

Solas didn't give it to Corypheus directly.  Instead he just fed him clues that let to its resting place.  He did it at the conclave because he wanted to sacrifice the Divine and cause chaos.

For one I don't think the ancient magisters were very friendly after their plans in the Black City went awry the first time. We have a codex entry which states that a couple of them were fighting in the deep roads and one of them even ate the other.

Secondly, while Corypheus is tainted and has no qualms on using his connection to the taint to influence the Wardens, I don't think he would like the idea of 'using' the darkspawn, because for one, we don't know for certain that the magisters were the first and that the darkspawn weren't already present. Secondly, no matter how evil Cory might seem, all his actions seem to sprout from his desire to become a god. I doubt he'll want to rise to Godhood on the backs of a 'diseased', tainted darkspawn army when he can have demons.

Lastly, they probably just remind him how effin ugly he himself looks.

[Googleness]

I thought he used the place because of the location (temple of sacred ashes etc..).

but yes... he's an idiot... the ultimate incarnation of stupid villain.

 

I really wish we had the architect as main villain instead.

There's always Skyrim with its "kill children" mod. Go blood-let.
