Dragon Age II Hints
How can I solve the second barrel puzzle?
1 of 8: To find it, head south from the first barrel puzzle and through a door, then turn left and go through the door on your left.
2 of 8: This barrel puzzle also has two rows, but it has six spaces in each row. Also notice that it has only big barrels, and some of them are red to distinguish them from the others.
3 of 8: Looking on the two sides of the room, you'll see red barrels that aren't part of the puzzle. Notice how they're stacked.
4 of 8: They're hinting at the fact that this puzzle's solution state has a 2X2 array of red barrels in it.
5 of 8: That barrel set can be anywhere in the puzzle, but the same 18-move limit applies, so some placements won't be possible.
6 of 8: Notice that one of the other red barrels is on the left side of the puzzle, and the other one is on the right side. Due to this, you can move each one into position separately, thereby breaking the puzzle up into two distinct sections.
7 of 8: Remember that it's not important that each red barrel go in some exact position. The ones that start out next to each other on the bottom can be moved up if necessary to get one of the other barrels into position.
8 of 8: It takes eight moves to get each of the two red barrels on the sides into position. Select the character that you want to receive the puzzle's two attribute points, then solve the puzzle.
