Your guide to The First Sacrifice (Optional) quest in Dragon Age II. Learn where to find items, defeat enemies, and complete this optional mission in Act I.
Alright, let's tackle 'The First Sacrifice,' an optional quest that pops up in Act I. It's a bit of a scavenger hunt, but nothing too crazy. We'll get you sorted.
Walkthrough
- 1First things first, you need to head over to the Hightown Market during the day. Keep an eye out for a 'Help Wanted!' sign near a guy named Worthy. Reading that sign is what kicks off this quest for you.
- 2After you've got the quest, make your way to the upper tier of the Market. You're looking for Ghyslain de Carrac. Chat with him and agree to help him out.
- 3Now, you'll need to visit the Blooming Rose, but only at night. Inside, find Mais Dalesdottir. She's the one you'll turn in a quest to, but that's not our main goal here.
- 4Keep searching the Blooming Rose. Head upstairs and find Jethann in one of the rooms. He'll give you some more info. While you're in there, look for a cleverly hidden crate near the wardrobe. Inside, you'll find the Stone Toe item. Grab it!
- 5Next up, it's time to head to Darktown. As soon as you arrive, you'll get another quest called 'Talk to Anders'.
- 6Make your way to the meeting spot at the southern end of Darktown. You'll run into some Street Thugs, so be ready to fight them off.
- 7Once they're dealt with, talk to Emeric. After that, loot the crate nearby. Then, check the east side of the area for a pile of bones, and you'll find another one to the north.
- 8Now, fast forward to night and head to Lowtown, specifically the Foundry District. You'll need to go into the Dark Foundry.
- 9Inside the Dark Foundry, brace yourself for a fight against a Desire Demon, along with plenty of Shades and Abominations.
- 10After you've cleared out the enemies, head upstairs and go into the southern room. Be careful, there's a trap - standard that you'll need to disarm.
- 11Right in front of the trap, you'll find a chest - standard. Open it up. Then, head to the northern end of the room to find a sack of bones. This sack contains Design: Rune of Fire and Ninette’s Ring. Don't miss those!
- 12Finally, continue west to the room at the very end. You'll find another crate in there. After looting it, backtrack to the northeast corner of the building to wrap up this part of the quest.
