Echo of Deskari Lair Question (Angel Path)

[gmwaddington]

What's the deal with the key slots in the Lair of the Echo of Deskari? I had the option to put my Single Use Key to the Lair of the Echo of Deskari in the first one I tried, but it didn't do anything. Afterwards I noticed a second slot, but I didn't have another key.

In the journal, under Explore the lair of the Echo of Deskari, it says "There are victims to be rescued. enemies to be defeated, and secrets to be revealed. Only then can the Commander start of the Journey back. The Hand of the Inheritor will help in this." I rescued Lariel and Eliandra. The Angel Mythic path dialogue option burns the entire lair, and seems to prevent any return. What's the deal with the Hand of the Inheritor helping?

How is the Lair supposed to work? I haven't been able to find out any information about it; is it bugged? I completed the Devastation quest, but it feels like I missed something. Can anyone who has completed this offer any insight?

You have a chance to get 3 keys before you go to his lair, use one to get there, and 2 on the slots to get some nice drops.
But if you go there after getting less than 3 keys means you can still finish the quest but get less gear.

I have one extra key, so I guess it's a matter of which item I prefer; it seems that putting the key into each of of the two slots gives you a different item.

I still don't understand what is meant by "The Hand of the Inheritor will help with this". As far as I can tell, you have to make your choices before leaving.

There are a few keys for that area.
Aasamar girl party has a key if you get rid of the tub of lard
Yaneil is very good at robbing corpeses. If you take her with you to visit minago
Benben gets a key if you let him wander around slaughtering demons to get attnetion.

Sadly you have to let the Aasimar women get tortured in order to get a key from saving them because getting the key by saving them without having them get tortured first makes too much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense.

Oh this.... So this... I RP straight and true and I ended up with no keys at all. Had to ask nocti-witch-face for a way in. I normally apologise for necroing, but for every good thing in this game there's a bad. It could have replace DragnAge for the '#2 CRPG spot in my book.... Oh dear.... As for puzzles....
