Dragon Age: Origins Hints

How should I deal with Lord Dace?

  • 1 of 9: Talk to him to see what it is he wants you to do.
  • 2 of 9: After he explains his cause to you, ask what you get in return, then say you want either hard currency or rumors (it doesn't really matter which).
  • 3 of 9: Next, talk to Lady Helmi, who's standing nearby.
  • 4 of 9: She'll tell you what Lord Dace is really up to, thereby complicating the situation.
  • 5 of 9: You could go along with Lord Dace's plan in order to get a note of credit for 100 sovereigns, but you'd never be able to collect on it.
  • 6 of 9: What you should do is talk to Lord Dace again before approaching the throne.
  • 7 of 9: Confront him with the fact that his plan would make your house suffer, then say "not so fast" when he tries to excuse himself.
  • 8 of 9: Say that his schemes are an insult to your house in order to get an arena combat with his son, Mandar Dace. It's a fairly tough combat, but it'll get you some XP.
  • 9 of 9: After you win, you'll be returned to the throne room.
