Dragon Age II Hints

What if I choose to take him in alive?

  • 1 of 7: He'll get scared and run off, and you'll have to follow him back to the large circular chamber.
  • 2 of 7: When you arrive, you'll find that he's summoned several corpses and a powerful revenant to defend him.
  • 3 of 7: Run your party back and around a corner, then try to kill off all the corpses that follow you before having to deal with the revenant. (Note that it's particularly vulnerable to electrical and spirit damage.)
  • 4 of 7: After that's over, Kelder will start following you, and you can use the circular chamber's north doorway to return to the abandoned ruins.
  • 5 of 7: After a quick conversation, use one of the map exits to travel to Hightown on the Kirkwall Day map.
  • 6 of 7: Go to the chantry courtyard and talk to Magistrate Vanard to get your reward.
  • 7 of 7: TIP: The "that secret won't last" dialogue option gets you the most money (3 gold coins), but it also gets you a bit of rivalry with Aveline. However, that's the best option unless you just *have* to get a few friendship points with Aveline for some reason, in which case you should tell Vanard to keep his coin.
