Dragon Age II Hints
The Forgotten Lair
1 of 8: Right after you enter the lair, have everyone hold position, then select your rogue and see if he can disarm the trap that's just ahead of you. If not, have him trigger it, then wait for the poisonous green mist you see a ways ahead of you to dissipate.
2 of 8: Go into the north side passage to find a stone golem to kill, plus some bones to loot and two disarming switches. The switches don't seem to do anything, but go ahead and use one of them anyway.
3 of 8: Go down the east passage to find more bones to loot and a locked door. If you don't have a rogue with you who can unlock the door, you'll have to come back later when you do.
4 of 8: Move into the room past the locked door just far enough to get some undead to attack you, then hang back while finishing them off. There are a couple of traps near the room's east door that you'll want your rogue to find and disarm (or trigger if necessary) outside of combat. If he's seen by the arcane horror or skeleton archers in the next area, have him lead them back to the group.
5 of 8: The arcane horror's hallway also has a couple of traps, one of which will trigger poison gas in the area past the hallway bend. Another arcane horror and more skeleton archers are waiting for you there, so if you trigger the trap, wait for the poison cloud that's in your hallway to dissipate before going after the horror. (Note that the poison cloud hurts them too, which is an added bonus for waiting.)
6 of 8: The next room has an exit to Darktown on the east wall and the Fell Grimoire that you're after on a podium next to the north wall.
7 of 8: As soon as you do something with the grimoire, a special desire demon named Xebenkeck will attack you along with two rage demons and two abominations. Take the demon down first, then finish off the rest, watching for a revenant and more rage demons to join the combat at some point.
8 of 8: Before you leave, loot all of the remains plus the piles of treasure that appeared in the room's NW and NE corners.
