Dragon Age II Hints
Haunted
1 of 10: After finishing the "On the Loose" main plot quest, you can get this quest by finishing the "A Small Problem" mini-quest.
2 of 10: Put Varric in your party and go to the Hightown Estates area at night. You'll find the entrance to Bartrand's Estate up some stairs in the NW corner of the area.
3 of 10: Loot the crate in the entry room, then make your way west, then north, and then east to reach the estate's NE corner room.
4 of 10: After a brief conversation with Varric, loot the crate in the room and go back west to find that some of the doors that were locked before are now unlocked.
5 of 10: The two northern rooms don't have anything in them, so go back to the west side of the estate.
6 of 10: After a pot flies up and hits you in the head, go through the open door that leads to the estate's main room, then head up the stairs.
7 of 10: Check the north room for a locked chest, then enter the middle room to get a cut-scene followed by a battle with an ethereal golem.
8 of 10: After the golem falls, Varric will find a shard of the lyrium idol that Bartrand apparently kept for himself. You can advise Varric to keep it in order to add three rune slots to his crossbow, or you can advise him to get rid of it so you can have Sandal turn it into a unique weapon rune that increases attack speed.
9 of 10: Either way, check the southern upstairs room for a locked chest and a ledger that'll get you a brief conversation with Varric, then leave the estate using either of its exits.
10 of 10: If you advised Varric to get rid of the shard, go to the Hawke Estate and talk to Sandal to get the shard turned into a primeval lyrium rune.
