Dragon Age II Hints
How can I handle all those guards?
1 of 8: When you come to a wide hallway with doors to the north and south, have your characters hold their position in the previous room in a spot that's out of sight of the doorway that leads to the hall.
2 of 8: Send your best rogue into the hallway to see if he can disarm the poison gas trap that's in the middle of its first section. If not, have him trigger it.
3 of 8: Run him back to the main group and wait for guards to come to you from the nearest northern room.
4 of 8: After they're down, wait some more to see if the guards in the other northern room will come after you. If not, send one character out far enough to lure them in.
5 of 8: When they stop coming, check the first northern room for a lootable crate, then check the other northern room for another crate and any leftover guards.
6 of 8: Look in the eastern room for two crates and a locked chest, then move everyone back into the room west of the hallway.
7 of 8: Have them hold position there again, then open the hallway's south door to find a bunch more guards, including two commanders, in the large room past it.
8 of 8: Lead them back to your group a few at a time to keep things manageable. Eventually, there'll only be four archers left who stubbornly stay at the top of the stairs, so go in after them.
