Dragon Age II Hints

Night Lies

  • 1 of 7: To get this quest, you'll need to kill off six groups of guardsman pretenders in the Hightown region at night. See the Hightown at Night Tips to learn where they all are.
  • 2 of 7: Look for the door to the "barracks" area just south of the Merchants Guild area.
  • 3 of 7: Enter the barracks and have your party hold position, then have your mage open the east door and immediately fire off her best area-of-effect spell at all the guardsman pretenders in the room past it.
  • 4 of 7: Have her rejoin the party, then wait for pretenders to come to you. After the first bunch are down, you may want to run the party into the east room, since the reinforcements all appear in the starting room.
  • 5 of 7: There are a lot of reinforcements, and some of the pretenders (including "Captain" Qerth) are really tough. If you find this battle to be too much to handle, restore the autosave that was made when you entered, and go right back outside. Come back later when you're higher-level and better equipped.
  • 6 of 7: After you finish them all off, loot their remains, then go up the stairs in the eastern room to find a chest to loot.
  • 7 of 7: Go to the Hanged Man pub in Lowtown and talk to "A Friend" in one of the southern rooms for a gold and XP reward.
