Dragon Age II Hints
Darktown
1 of 8: This area will only be on the Kirkwall maps if you've finished the "A Business Discussion" main plot quest, so go do that if you haven't already.
2 of 8: Loot the rubble that's directly south from the exit, then go south to a path intersection to find some thugs to kill.
3 of 8: Go west at the intersection and talk to Tomwise. That'll open up a station you can use to order poisons that you have formulas for if you also have the resources and the money. You get the Debilitating Poison formula as a freebie, though note that you won't be able to order any until you find some deep mushrooms.
4 of 8: Go west from Tomwise to find the elf you need to talk to for the "Locks of the Golden Fool" side quest (if you got it).
5 of 8: Use the nearby exit to get the Docks area added to the Kirkwall maps, but don't go there yet. Go back to the path intersection and head south to find another group of thugs to kill.
6 of 8: Past them, go down the first set of wooden stairs and turn right to find a deathroot to pick, then go down the next set of stairs and look for Sister Plinth's remains on the ground near Danzig. Picking them up will start the "The Remains of Sister Plinth" side quest.
7 of 8: Go back north to the path intersection, then take the stairs on the east side to find a lootable sack near a tent. Go down the stairs past it and turn left to find a codex item.
8 of 8: Look for another codex item a short way west of it, then go north. Past some stairs, you'll find a "gather your party" gimmick next to two locked doors. If you have a rogue with a very high Cunning, you might could unlock the doors, but it's okay if you can't -- the area past them is part of a main plot quest, anyway.
