Dragon Age II Hints

The Conspirators

  • 1 of 9: This quest will only be available if you loaded a Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening save in which the Silver Order was formed and you chose to save Vigil's Keep while customizing your character at the beginning of the game.
  • 2 of 9: Go to Lowtown on the Kirkwall Day map and find Sergeant Joanna standing a bit south of the entrance to the Hanged Man pub.
  • 3 of 9: Talk to her to get this quest, then start looking around Kirkwall for four Amaranthine conspirators.
  • 4 of 9: You'll find one of them in the SW corner of the Hightown region during the day. Approach him to start a combat with him and his mercenaries, then finish them all off.
  • 5 of 9: For the second conspirator, enter the Blooming Rose brothel that's in Hightown's SE section and check the main floor's northern room.
  • 6 of 9: One of the last two conspirators is in the Docks region. If it's not available for map travel yet, see the Darktown tour to find out how to make it available.
  • 7 of 9: Go to the Docks at night, then look for the conspirator and his mercs down in the SW corner of the region. (Watch out for two groups of Redwater raiders on the way to them if you haven't done the "Pier Pressure" quest yet.)
  • 8 of 9: The final conspirator is on Sundermount. Work on the "Long Way Home" main plot quest until you talk to Keeper Marethari, then go down the left (west) past that start in the NW corner of the Dalish camp.
  • 9 of 9: You'll find the conspirator and his mercs at the end of the path, near an inaccessible cave entrance. Kill them off, then return to Sergeant Joanna to get 2 gold coins.
