Dragon Age II Hints

South-Side Area Tips

  • 1 of 6: Check the large side area to the south for three chests and some silverite.
  • 2 of 6: Go up the steps to the door on the east side to cause several giant spiders to drop down and attack.
  • 3 of 6: After you finish most of them off, a truly gigantic spider called "monstrous spider" will appear.
  • 4 of 6: Get everyone to use their best weapons and abilities on it, and watch for a few more regular giant spiders to appear when its health starts getting low.
  • 5 of 6: NOTE: The loot you can get from the monstrous spider's body is highly random. If you only get a few coins from it, you might want to restore the autosave the game made right before the spider attack and try again. That's a lot of trouble, but you can get some powerful magic items from the monstrous spider if you're lucky.
  • 6 of 6: After the spiders are all dead, the door will be unlocked. Open it and loot the chest that's past it.
