You’ll need to go to the "Emerald" iconEmerald Graves and find three smuggler letters first:

  1. Outside Villa Maurel near the Andraste’s Mercy Landmark.

  2. At the edge of Stonewolf Green to the west of Briathos’ Steps Camp.

  3. There are several giants around this letter in the north.

With them collect return to Cullen. He determines that you need to raid Sahrnia "Quarry" iconQuarry . Head to Emprise du Lion and begin your march south from the Tower Camp. Your objective is to enter the three highlighted camps and defeat the Templars at the locations. You may as well be doing Rocky Rescue as well since the majority of these captives are in these locations too. Be sure to search the area for letters about Samson, you need them to clear the area.

With all three areas secure and letters in hand, return to Cullen. He wants you to speak with Dagna to question her about Samson’s armor. Turns out she just needs some time and resources, to the War Table it is to complete the operation Find Samson’s Weakness for Dagna. With it complete, return to Cullen to gain information on Maddox. You need to do another operation called Track Down Samson then return to Cullen. From here you must travel to the Shrine of Dumat where Samson is located.

In the initial area you’ll find numerous Red Templar Guard and Red Templar Horrors, focus on the latter first. Once they are defeated you’ll have to face a Behemoth, at least it’s alone. Don’t be afraid to use Potions, there is a Supply Cache just through the doors ahead. Knights and Horrors flank the left and right sides, take one out at a time so you don’t get sandwiched. Further in are two more Guards and Shadows, the Shadows join late. Loot the left side pile on the table to find "Superb Corrupting Rune" iconSuperb Corrupting Rune schematic.

Head through the door to find Maddox. After he slumps over you’ll need to locate the Bottles and the Letter on the table. Head into the next room and pick up the Tools off the table. With the information obtained, return to Cullen at Skyhold to complete this lengthy quest.
