Your friendly guide to Dragon Age II's 'Long Way Home' quest. Learn where to go, what to do, and how to handle the spiders and Dalish camp.

Alright, let's tackle the 'Long Way Home' quest in Dragon Age II. This one's pretty straightforward, but there are a few things to keep an eye out for.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First off, you'll need to head over to Sundermount. Just follow the main path there until you run into a bunch of Giant Spiders. Take care of them – they can be a bit of a nuisance if you let them swarm you.
  2. 2
    After you've dealt with the spiders, keep following the path. You'll come to a junction; head south from there, and you should find an elfroot. Grab it!
  3. 3
    Continue heading west. This will lead you into the Dalish Camp. Your objective here is to meet with Keeper Marethari. She's the leader of the Dalish in this area.
  4. 4
    Once you've spoken with Marethari and agreed to help her out, it's time to do some searching around the camp. You'll want to look for a few specific books and notes. Keep an eye out for lore entries on 'Vallaslin: Blood Writing', 'Geography of Thedas', 'The Tale of Iloren', and 'Arlathan: Part One'. Reading these will give you some good background info.
  5. 5
    Don't forget to check behind the shop in the camp – there's a crate there you can loot.
Tips
  • Those Giant Spiders can hit hard, so make sure your party is ready. Using area-of-effect abilities can help thin them out quickly.
  • Don't just rush through the camp; take a moment to interact with the environment and read the lore entries. It really adds to the world-building!
  • Always check crates and containers – you never know what useful items you might find.
