Dragon Age II Hints

Combat Series #2 Tips

  • 1 of 7: Go east to find a lootable crate, then continue to the Merchants Guild area to find Carta thugs fighting qunari karashoks.
  • 2 of 7: You can hang back and let them weaken each other first and/or throw in a few area-of-effect spells before joining in. Watch out for the Carta assassin that joins in with the second wave.
  • 3 of 7: Loot the crate and barrel in the guild area, then go around to the entrance to the Hightown Square (mislabeled as the Hightown Market for some reason) to find a lootable corpse with a potion recipe on it.
  • 4 of 7: Move into the square just far enough for the qunari in it to see you, then hang back and let them come to you.
  • 5 of 7: When reinforcements arrive, they'll include a saarebas. If you stayed back at the square's entrance, he'll be right near you when he appears. Quickly direct everyone to attack him before he can teleport away.
  • 6 of 7: If he teleports, focus on nearby opponents first, then go after him. Try to get rid of him and most of the others before the sten arrives.
  • 7 of 7: NOTE: You'll be carried off to a new area by a cut-scene as soon as the last qunari in this combat dies, so run around and do a bit of looting while you can. In addition to fallen qunari who have loot on them, there's a barrel near the NE corner, a corpse near the center, and a crate near the NW corner.
