Dragon Age II Hints
Finding Nathaniel
1 of 10: This quest will only be available if you chose the "The Martyr" history (or loaded a Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening save in which you recruited Nathaniel and he didn't die at Vigil's Keep) while customizing your character at the beginning of the game.
2 of 10: Find Delilah Howe in Hightown's chantry courtyard during the day and talk to her to get this quest.
3 of 10: Travel to the Deep Roads region on the Free Marches map, then go through a couple of doorways to find a chest followed by a bunch of hurlocks attacking Nathaniel Howe.
4 of 10: After the battle is over and you've talked to Nathaniel, go north to find lootable bones on your left and hurlocks to kill on your right.
5 of 10: Check the interactive rubble in their area, then go up some stairs to find a codex item and Temmerin Glavonak.
6 of 10: After talking to him, have your characters hold position, then send one of them down the rubble-strewn road to find a lever and several darkspawn to fight, including an ogre.
7 of 10: Hit the lever to do them some damage, then hang back and wait for them to come to you. (Note that Nathaniel will charge ahead and occupy many of them, allowing your ranged characters to get in lots of free attacks.)
8 of 10: Go down to the end of the road, then turn left and go down the stairs. As you move across the floor, a bunch of darkspawn (including ogres) will spawn in groups all around you.
