Dragon Age II Hints
Cave Crawling
1 of 7: After finishing the "Inside Job" quest, go to the Bone Pit region on the Free Marches map and approach the miner named Jansen to get this quest.
2 of 7: Enter the Bone Pit Mines area that's north of Jansen, then run up the stairs that are right next to you. Have everyone hold position a ways past those stairs, then send one character down to lure spiders in.
3 of 7: All of the spiders except the queen spider can follow you up the stairs. When the queen gets stuck at the bottom of the stairs, move all of your ranged characters up to where they can attack her without being attacked.
4 of 7: If she gets stuck beside the stairs to where no one can attack her, wait until all of the other spiders have come to you and been killed, then send everyone down the stairs to get the queen spider.
5 of 7: Run back up the stairs after the queen dies, since more spiders will drop down and attack.
6 of 7: After the last one is killed, check the upstairs areas for corrupted lyrium and a lootable crate, then look for a pile of bones over in the east area where the spiders were.
7 of 7: Go back outside and talk to Jansen to finish the quest.
