Do we already have a cure for the taint?

I don't understand the whole "Warden going off to cure him/herself" thing in Inquisition, because I'm in the "Avernus knows what he's doing" camp. I think it's pretty clear that his blood magic only extended his natural lifespan, and had nothing to do with the taint. He says it himself: "blood magic comes from demons - but the darkspawn taint - that is alien to them." His modified Joining potion therefore must be the ingredient that ameliorates the worst aspects of the Joining. Avernus has never heard the Calling.

 

Yes, I know the immediate response is - "That journal! He mentions hearing a song!" BUT, is everybody completely forgetting that there is a BLIGHT going on when you find that journal entry? The Archdemon is certainly proven powerful (and noisy) enough that ALL wardens hear it, even the two very junior wardens of Ferelden. Plus, Avernus, should you spare him, is still alive, kicking, and experimenting ten years later, as evidenced by the blood potion he mails to the Warden-Commander, which is then intercepted by Hawke in DA2. He doesn't experience the Calling. He's not even close to losing his formidable mental faculties.

 

My Warden is still a Warden, just not doomed to wither into a crazy ghoul. He gave the improved potion to Alistair and all his personal recruits (because Weisshaupt would throw a fit if they knew - not that I don't believe for a second that the Tevinter Wardens, with their centuries of institutionalized slavery and unlimited freedom to practise blood magic behind closed doors, haven't come up with something even better) That is my headcanon, and I'm sticking to it.

I'm pretty sure the cure to the taint is some kind of material or spell connected to King Maric's sword (read "The Calling"). Maybe his dragon blood mixed with whatever is in that sword made a nice combo in curing the taint. 

 

We know that Fiona was cured of the taint. 

 

My guess is that:

1) the cure either got into Maric's system after all those years with the sword and then passed to Fiona (and then curing her of the taint) while they were having sex.

2) Fiona somehow was close enough or even touched the sword which caused her to become affected enough to recieve the cure.

 

Either way, she touched his sword (most likely both of them and got cured while doing it).

How to cure the taint? Simple. Ask Flemeth.

 

Oops, she's dead. Ask her daughter, then. If you can find her...

 

 

 

Couldn't find her, then? Well, ask Fiona instead.

 

Oh. You sided with Templars in DA:I? Well, too bad, then. Guess you'll never know.

Fiona doesn't even know how she got the taint out of her blood, when you ask her she tells you that it was simply gone, and if i'm not mistaken, the GW tried the joining ritual on her again and it doesn't do anything to her, so maybe the answer is in her blood now.

As far as i can tell FLemeth said to not know how to cure Aveline husband when he was infected.
Morrigan doesn't know how to cure the taint.
Fiona doesn't know how to cure the taint.

Yeah, I would like for my Warden to experiment on her... And take some blood samples (she has had to do what she has too - right?)

"The only cure I know of is to become a gray warden" - Flemeth. 

 

I believe she's lying because why would she reveal that she knows the cure if she's been hiding it for this long? Besides she cares nothing for a random templar she just met. According to the Well of Sorrows "Mythal speaks the calling" (whatever that truely means), so she most likely has the knowledge about this sort of thing.

 

She might not be able to cure the blight right there and then but I strongly believe she knows how to do it given the right time and resources.

Flemeth's Quick Guide to Curing The Taint (and Saving the World From The Blight In The Process. All in a day's work! Or rather, night's work.):

 

  1. Make sure Archdemon is nearby.
  2. Check if you're female.
  3. Find a male Warden. A young one, preferably.
  4. Make love all night long.
  5. Lurk around the Archdemon during the fight. Don't get too close or you'll be squashed, crushed by jaws or toasted.
  6. Make sure to wait the Warden defeats him or all will be for nothing. 

 

Done. You're rid of the taint.

I assume you're not being serious since you're describing the dark ritual and not how to actually cure the taint from somebody (like what happened to Fiona).
