The Conspirators – Dragon Age 2 Quest

In this guide, you will find a walkthrough for a quest in Act 1 of Dragon Age 2. You will also find all the branching consequences for your actions during the quest throughout the guide.

Background

If you saved Vigil’s Keep rather than Amaranthine in Awakening, or if you chose the “no compromises” history when creating your character, then you’ll meet Sergeant Joanna in Lowtown near the Hanged Man tavern, and she’ll give you this quest.

Walkthrough

Joanna will tell you that some “hare-brained” nobles attempted to depose the Warden-Commander in Amaranthine, but failed and then fled to Kirkwall. She’ll offer you a bounty on any that you find and kill. There are four nobles:

• One in the southwestern corner of the Hightown Estates in Hightown (during the day).
• One in the northernmmost room of the Blooming Rose in Hightown.
• One on the western side of the Docks (at night).
• One in the northwestern part of Sundermount, near the western entrance. This noble will drop Royeaux One and Two when he dies.

The nobles (labeled “Amaranthine conspirators”) will have some bodyguards with them, and you’ll need to kill them all in battle. Each time you defeat one of the nobles, you’ll earn 400 xp and 50 silvers when you return to Joanna, for a grand total of 1600 xp and 2 sovereigns. You won’t earn any sort of extra reward for completing the quest.
