Dragon Age II Hints

Hightown at Night Tips

  • 1 of 9: If you betrayed Athenril in the prologue by getting Merchant Cavril to pay you a bribe, she and two waves of street thugs will attack you when you enter the Red Lantern District.
  • 2 of 9: There's a crate near the SE corner of the Red Lantern District.
  • 3 of 9: There are two waves of "guardsman pretenders" to kill in the Merchants Guild area, plus two more waves of them in the Hightown Square.
  • 4 of 9: Go up the eastern-most and western-most southern stairs in the square to find dark side areas with containers to loot.
  • 5 of 9: There's a locked chest in the SW corner of the Viscount's Way area that's south of the square.
  • 6 of 9: There's a chest in the small upstairs area on the south side of the market.
  • 7 of 9: Go to the SW part of the Hightown Estates area to find three waves of guardsman pretenders to put down.
  • 8 of 9: Check the secret passage that starts at the NW corner of that area to find a lootable chest.
  • 9 of 9: Come back to this region after you explore the others, then look for more multi-wave guardsman pretender combats in the Merchants Guild, the Hightown Estates, and the upstairs area on the south side of the market. Finishing all of those off will get you the "Night Lies" side quest.
