Re: Gates of Toth..........how do you open the door?

If I remember right you need to explore a bit then around the western part of THE WESTERN APPROACh there is an area you need to place a flag for "contruction". Youneed to go to the WAR TABLE and build it then the route to where you need to go to "get it open" will be availible. It turns out you will be taking a "back route" to get it open. Lol.

Well, indeed, and I've done all that. I may not have made it clear, but I'm doing all this right at the end of the game--indeed I am now post-endgame, so to speak, having defeated The Big C and taken my victory lap at Skyhold--so I have explored every corner, nook, and cranny of The Western Approaches, found every region and landmark except those associated witht eh Gates of Toth, fulfilled every mission I've been assigned there--indeed when I passed through the camp on my way to exploring this time, I was buttonholed by the requsitions officer and tasked with (I believe the third time) doin the geological survey, which I dutifully turned in, having a vast surplus of the materials required.

I think the quest of which you speak is glitched, in that I may have fulfilled it without going through the Gates of Totrh, and now it's too late. In any event it is of no great consequence, it just offends my completist bone, is all...

To get to the other side of the gate of Toth you have to first complete the mission to get rid of the darkspawn. When you close the tunnel you can exit the dungeon on the opposite side from which you enetered and make a camp. The access to the gate of toth is in the area that is now open to explore through that camp.

I had to deal with this one today. Hopefully, I'm giving the correct answer. Once you've cleared Echoback, which is to the north, you go south and curve around the desert, until you find the (for me) final landmark and a switch that opens the gates of Toth.

You go through the prison that you have to enter to finish the quest The Problem With Darkspawn, across the bridge built by war table operation close to Griffon Wing Keep. Once you go although through the prison, past where you fight the giant, there is a place where you set up a camp, etc, and take down Servis in Echoback Fort. From that area you can reach the other sides of the Gates of Toth, where there is a lever you pull to open them permanently.

I know these are some (VERY) old posts, but seeing as I am picking this game back up and was having some issues figuring this out myself, here are some pictures of the solution. Basically approach the gate from the north side (the side where you fight Severus, or whatever his name was). There is a lever on the wall next to where you plant your landmark flag. Oh, in order to get to the northern area itself, you have to get through the unbreathable air by using a table mission. Anyway, here's pics for anyone that still cares.
