Dragon Age II Hints

Cavern of Dead

  • 1 of 7: After finishing the "Cave Crawling" quest, travel somewhere else and then return to the Bone Pit region to get Jansen to reappear outside the mines. Talk to him to get this quest.
  • 2 of 7: Go east from Jansen and then turn north to find the new Bone Pit Mines entrance.
  • 3 of 7: At the path split just inside the mine, you can go either east or north. Both ways get you to doors with traps and minor undead combats past them.
  • 4 of 7: Disarm both traps and fight both groups of undead for max XP, then park your party in either of the rooms (preferably the one past the east door).
  • 5 of 7: Send one character to open the door to the central chamber, then run him back to the group and wait for undead to come after you.
  • 6 of 7: After you get the revenant and arcane horror, either continue the lure-out game or take everyone into the central chamber to finish things quickly.
  • 7 of 7: Search the central chamber for three chests (one of which is locked), then go back to the exit so you can leave and report success to Jansen.
