Dragon Age II Hints

Enter the cave and resolve the situation with the apostates peacefully, ....

  • 1 of 8: Enter the Runaways' Cavern and move down the tunnel to a cave room where an apostate and some corpses attack you. Focus on taking the apostate down first, then finish off the corpses.
  • 2 of 8: Check the dim north side area for a corpse, then move on until you reach an area where a few more corpses attack you.
  • 3 of 8: Head south from there and then turn east to find several more undead to fight. You may want to run everyone back up the stairs so they'll have to come to you.
  • 4 of 8: After a scared mage tells you about Decimus, look around for loot before heading down the south tunnel.
  • 5 of 8: When you reach a board walkway, go along it to where you can see Decimus ahead. Approaching him will start a combat with him and several undead.
  • 6 of 8: When the combat is over, a mage named Grace will ask you to help the surviving apostates escape the templars. If you agree to kill Thrask, you'll get the "Kill Thrask and any accompanying templars so Grace and her Starkhaven ..." objective.
  • 7 of 8: Your other options are to lie to Thrask about the apostates being dead ("Return to Thrask at the mouth of the cave to convince him that the ..." objective), and refuse to help the apostates escape ("Escort the Starkhaven apostates safely to Thrask at the entrance of the ..." objective).
  • 8 of 8: TIP: Whichever objective you get, look for a lootable corpse on the upper ground on the east side of Decimus' cave room before leaving.
