Dragon Age II Hints
How does the optional random encounter work?
1 of 7: With Fenris in your party, travel back and forth between regions on the Kirkwall Day and Kirkwall Night maps until you get the encounter.
2 of 7: After a brief cut-scene, focus everyone's attacks on the Tevinter Magister, then finish off the rest of the nearby Tevinters.
3 of 7: Have everyone hold position there, then send a scout character forward to lure in enemies from the main area.
4 of 7: There's a trap at the bottom of the stairs that lead down into the main area, so have your rogue disarm it after you lure in everyone you can from the top of the stairs.
5 of 7: Watch for a slaver mage and an arcane horror to come after you, and make them priority targets when they do. The rest of the enemies will be weak corpses and such.
6 of 7: After you take them all down, Fenris will talk to you. In order to avoid losing him as a companion, you'll have to agree to go after Hadriana right away.
7 of 7: He'll give you time to look around for loot, so do that before using the map exit to go to the Holding Caves area.
