Dragon Age II Hints
Find a way to stop the poison from spreading.
1 of 6: After talking briefly to a guard, you'll find yourself in a poisoned-soaked area, taking damage.
2 of 6: After you seal one of the poison barrels shut, a bunch of mercenaries will attack in three waves. Watch for a powerful mercenary commander to join the fight with the second wave.
3 of 6: As soon as that's over, run up the steps in the SW corner of the area to find a couple more mercs to kill. One of them has a steel latch on him, so pick it up and go seal off another gas barrel.
4 of 6: Sealing a second barrel will provoke another three-wave mercenary attack, this one with a mercenary assassin in the third wave. After it's over, check their remains to find that one of them dropped a steel latch.
5 of 6: Using it on a barrel will cause (you guessed it!) another three-wave merc attack, this one featuring a commander. When it's over, look for a steel latch that one of them dropped, then find and seal the fourth barrel. (Note that there may be a hostile crazy woman near it.)
6 of 6: That was the last one, and sealing it will start a big mercenary combat that's led by the elven fanatic who's behind the whole thing. Take her down as quickly as you can, then finish off her mercs.
