Dragon Age II Hints
Confront the blood mages at their Darktown sanctuary.
1 of 10: Leave the brothel and use the nearby map exit to travel to Darktown.
2 of 10: Look for the sanctuary entrance just east from the north end of the path intersection area.
3 of 10: After entering it, have everyone hold position, then send your rogue down the stairs to disarm a trap and trigger a combat with shades and abominations. Attack the shade that appears next to you first, then wait for the others to come after you.
4 of 10: Watch for a rage demon to appear, and take it down as quickly as you can. After you make sure the area is clear, search it to find a corpse, a crate, a deathroot, and a codex item.
5 of 10: Go west from the north end of the room to find a couple more shades and two skeleton archers (one of which appears behind you), plus another corpse to loot.
6 of 10: Go down the stairs and into the next room to get a bunch more corpses and skeleton archers to appear, then thrash them and look around for a couple of corpses to loot.
7 of 10: Have your rogue lead the way into the hallway to the south so he can spot a trap, then quicksave after he disarms it and before you go into the next room.
8 of 10: Go to the east end of that room to start a conversation with a blood mage named Tarohne, after which you'll have to fight her and several other blood mages.
9 of 10: After that's over, look around for loot, including on a corpse and in a sack. (Note that the item in the sack will give you the "Grimoire of the Apprentice" side quest.)
10 of 10: Talk to Keran and have one of your party's mages check him for possession if the option comes up. Whether you do that or not, you'll get the next objective.
