Dragon Age II Hints
Inside Job
1 of 10: If you did the Act I secondary quest "The Bone Pit," you can get this quest by reading the letter of the same name on the Hawke Estate's writing desk after finishing the "Prime Suspect" main plot quest.
2 of 10: Go to Hightown's market area during the day to find that Hubert and his store are back. After checking the store, talk to Hubert and tell him you're ready.
3 of 10: To get the spy to give you the info you need, choose nice, diplomatic options. You can also talk Hubert into sparing the guy instead of having him killed.
4 of 10: In the Outside Kirkwall area, move toward the mercenaries to get them to all turn hostile. Finish them off to get a quest update, then check their camp for a chest and a lootable corpse before using a map exit to travel to Darktown.
5 of 10: Go to the northern map exit to find Lilley dead and some of her angry Coterie buddies. You can either use diplomatic options to avoid a fight, or use aggressive options to get some extra combat XP and loot.
6 of 10: Go south until you can turn east, then look for the entrance to Brekker's hideaway next to the Coterie Barker woman. Enter it and move forward just far enough to get noticed by a few thugs, then lead them back to the entry area.
7 of 10: Get your rogue to disarm the big spike trap that's on the floor ahead, then go up the stairs to find a lootable barrel. Move on past it to find another thug combat that includes a mage. Charge the mage and try to kill him before he can teleport away. (Or have your party hold position a ways back from the room and try to draw the mage and other thugs to you.)
8 of 10: Have your rogue find a trap next to that room's stairs, then go up them and loot a crate for a rune design before moving on to where you meet Brekker.
9 of 10: Brekker is an assassin, as are the Coterie rogues that join the fight as it progresses, so try to take them down quickly. After it's over, look for a lootable sack downstairs and a locked chest upstairs before using the map exit to leave.
10 of 10: Go back to the Hightown market during the day and talk to Hubert to get your reward.
