Sign of Safe Passage – Dragon Age: Origins Quest

This guide will walk you through the “Sign of Safe Passage” quest in Dragon Age: Origins. We will go through all the steps to complete this mission.

Background

You’ll receive this quest from the bartender at the Gnawed Noble Tavern in the Denerim Market District, but only after you’ve recruited two allies for the Grey Wardens.

Sign of Safe Passage

For this quest, you’ll need to travel to the “firing point” in the West Brecilian Forest, and shoot an arrow over the trees there to signal safe passage to some associates of “D.” In order to use the firing point, your main character will need to have a bow equipped (and the bow will need to be his or her active weapon).

However, after firing the signal, you’ll be attacked by a handful of Denerim mercenaries, including a “yellow” mercenary who will drop a folded missive (and some other random loot) when he dies. Picking up the missive will give you the Quest-Related codex entry for By Order of Emer Thorogood.

After finishing off the mercenaries, when you return to the bartender at the Gnawed Noble Tavern, he’ll reward you with 4 sovereigns and 175 xp.
