Dragon Age II Hints

Favor and Fault

  • 1 of 10: After finishing the "On the Loose" main plot quest, you can get this quest by accepting the letter of the same name that's on the Hawke Estate's writing desk.
  • 2 of 10: Talk to Aveline in the Viscount's Keep's guard barracks, then put her in your party and travel to the Docks region on the Kirkwall Night map.
  • 3 of 10: Go to the east side of the eastern Warehouse District area to find Guardsman Donnic under attack by a bunch of Coterie thugs. When the second wave shows up, target the mage first, then the assassin.
  • 4 of 10: After a brief conversation with Donnic, loot the nearby sack, then travel to the Gallows region and talk to Knight-Captain Cullen.
  • 5 of 10: Next, go to Lowtown at night and find Guardsman Brennan in the area that's a ways NE of the Foundry District.
  • 6 of 10: Talk to her, then travel to Darktown and thrash the street thugs who attack you.
  • 7 of 10: Head south and kill off the hostile mercs, then continue south. You'll find Jeven and his goons past the stairs in the SE area.
  • 8 of 10: During the conversation, the best option for friendship with Aveline is "Have at him, Aveline." Other options will probably get you rivalry points, and may even lead to Aveline resigning as guard captain.
  • 9 of 10: Whatever your dialogue choices, Jeven and his thugs will attack you. Jeven is an assassin with a tremendous amount of health, so you may want to trash his supporters before turning your attention to him (though note that he'll summon more supporters as the combat progresses).
  • 10 of 10: After it's over, loot Jeven to get an armor upgrade for Aveline, then look for a nearby chest before returning to the Viscount's Keep's guard barracks and having the quest-ending conversation with Aveline.
