Follow our guide to complete the optional 'Unbidden Rescue' quest in Dragon Age II. We'll help you find all the loot and defeat the Tal-Vashoth.

Alright, let's tackle the optional quest 'Unbidden Rescue' in Dragon Age II. It's a pretty straightforward one, but there's some decent loot to grab if you know where to look.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head to the Viscount’s Keep. You'll need to give Guardsman Eustice an item to trigger this. Once that's done, go up the stairs on the north side of the Keep. After a scene, you'll agree to find Saemus, which officially starts the quest ‘The Unbidden Rescue’.
  2. 2
    Now, make your way over to The Wounded Coast. As soon as you arrive, loot the corpse right at the entrance.
  3. 3
    Continue heading south at the junction. You'll find a pile of bones and some glitterdust. After that, you'll need to fight off some Tal-Vashoth. Make sure to loot the sack they were guarding.
  4. 4
    Keep pushing south. You'll find another corpse along the path, and shortly after, a Dalish Assassin. The game gives you a choice here: you can talk them down and get some coin, or handle it another way.
  5. 5
    Further east, you'll spot a barrel. Just past that, there's a path leading south to another corpse.
  6. 6
    Before the next junction, look for a pile of bones.
  7. 7
    Past that junction, you'll finally find The Winters and Saemus. Saemus is understandably hesitant to go with this ruthless group. A fight's about to break out, so be ready! Your priority should be to focus down Ginnis first.
  8. 8
    Once The Winters are dealt with, more Mercenaries will show up. After you've cleared the area, tell Saemus to hang tight while you do a quick sweep for any remaining loot.
  9. 9
    In the junction to the north, you'll find a chest. To the right of it is a barrel, and tucked away in a cutaway section in the middle is a crate.
  10. 10
    In the southern part of the area, you'll find a corpse, a crate containing Redblossom Slave, a pile of bones with Design: Rune of Fire Warding, another chest, and the The Wounded Coast monument.
  11. 11
    Once you've collected everything, talk to Saemus. He'll get you back to the Keep, and that's the quest wrapped up!
