Dragon Age II Hints
How can I find the tome in the Sundermount region?
1 of 9: Go to the NW corner of the Dalish camp, then take the left path.
2 of 9: Near the map exit is a cave entrance that'll take you to the Abandoned Thaig area.
3 of 9: Run forward and into the north side passage, then go to its north end quickly to get everyone out of the flame traps. That'll cause a stone golem to attack, so take it down before you do anything else.
4 of 9: Go through the door at the north end of the passage to find a room with a lootable corpse in it. If you choose to loot it, you'll be attacked by a stone golem, a revenant, a rage demon, and several other creatures. If you don't want to deal with all of that, leave the lootable corpse alone.
5 of 9: Past the next door, loot "South Song" Gerralt's corpse to get the side quest of the same name, then go up to the door that leads to the large central chamber.
6 of 9: Have everyone hold their position a bit back from the door, then send one character in to trigger the first wave of a massive, super-tough combat that includes two rage demons, a desire demon, an arcane horror, and a revenant.
7 of 9: Even if you move your party all the way back to the now-locked door to minimize enemies coming after you, this combat may be totally impossible to win. If so, restore a save from before it started, go do everything else you can except the final main plot quest, then come back and try again.
8 of 9: If you can ever manage to win, you can access the evil tome in the NE corner of the chamber.
9 of 9: TIP: Check out the nexus golem's store before you use the door in the east wall to leave.
