Wayward Son - p. 1 Dragon Age II Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Received from: Arianni [Lowtown - The Elven Alienage]

Step 1: Talk with Arianni

1 - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide
You will receive this quest automatically after completing Gossip: Wayward Son, so after gaining information from Arianni #1 (M12, 10) on her son Feynriel, whos being searched by the Templars - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide

You will receive this quest automatically after completing Gossip: Wayward Son, so after gaining information from Arianni #1 (M12, 10) on her son Feynriel, who's being searched by the Templars. During the conversation Arianni will suggest asking Thrask from The Gallows and Vincent from Lowtown about her son's whereabouts. If you want to, you can learn more about each of these characters during the conversation #2.

You will have to choose who to ask about Feynriel's whereabouts:

  • If you want to talk with Thrask, you have to head to The Gallows. The description of this option can be found in Step 2, Option A.
  • If you want to talk with Vincento, you have to head to Lowtown. The description of this option can be found in Step 2, Option B.

Step 2, Option A: Talking with Thrask

2 - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide
In order to get to Thrask you will have to go to [The Gallows] - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide

In order to get to Thrask you will have to go to [The Gallows]. Thrask will be standing by the stairs #1 (M33, 5). During the conversation, you can most of all ask Thrask about Feynriel and Vincento. As for choosing the dialogue options, I'd recommend the upper right or middle right answers. Selecting the lower right might hurt Thrask and you will have to head to Vincent. Curiously, if Aveline is in your party, you can ask her to join the conversation #2. If you properly "complete" the conversation, Thrask will send you to Samson who seems to know where Feynriel is.

Step 2, Option B: Talking with Vincento

3 - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide
In order to talk with Vincent, you will have to go to [Lowtown] during the day and head to the marketplace - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide

In order to talk with Vincent, you will have to go to [Lowtown] during the day and head to the marketplace. Vincento will be standing beside the western entrance to Lowtown #1 (M12, 13). Getting information on Feynriel's whereabouts will unfortunately turn out to be more difficult than in Thrask's case. The only chance here is having a mage in the party. If it's the main hero, things will get easier. Otherwise you'll have to ask one of the mages from the party to join in (middle left dialogue option) #2. Choosing any other dialogue option will end with failure and you will have to go to Thrask. If you properly "complete" the conversation, Vincenti will send you to Samson, who seems to know something about Feynriel's whereabouts.

Step 3: Talking with Samson

4 - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide
In order to talk with Samson you will have to head to [Lowtown] during the night - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide

In order to talk with Samson you will have to head to [Lowtown] during the night. Head to the back of The Hanged Man (M13, 10) and you should find the man without problems #1. You can ask Samson a few additional questions. As for the main aim of the conversation, you will get all the needed information if only you stay polite. I wouldn't recommend trying to bribe him #2, as it's completely unnecessary and you would lose 1 sovereign. Samson will send you to Reiner, residing at one of the dock warehouses.

Step 4: Examining the dock warehouse

5 - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide
During the night, head to [Docks] - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide

During the night, head to [Docks]. Once there, head to the eastern warehouses district and find the entrance to [Docks - Arthuris' Private Dock] #1 (M20, 5). Afterwards (M35, 1) save you game, as you're in for some hard fight. Go inside the next location (M35, 2), where you will have to fight with Sailors commanded by a Marine #2.

6 - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide
Id suggest fighting inside the small room in which you began exploring the warehouse #1 - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide

I'd suggest fighting inside the small room in which you began exploring the warehouse #1. Most of all it will let you avoid being attacked by the archers. Inside the main warehouse room you could additionally fall into some traps #2, taking unnecessary damage.

7 - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide
The absolute priority in this battle is getting rid of the Marine #1 - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide

The absolute priority in this battle is getting rid of the Marine #1. His sudden attacks can cause lots of damage. Eliminating him will take some time, but luckily the common Sailors are much easier. Aim at the enemy archers in the first place #2.

8 - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide
After the fight take a look around and head towards the balconies in the eastern part of the warehouse #1 - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide

After the fight take a look around and head towards the balconies in the eastern part of the warehouse #1. Here, go inside the eastern room. BEFORE opening the door to the northern room #2 (M35, 3), be sure to save your game as another uneasy battle is waiting for you.

9 - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide
Once you enter the northern room a cutscene will start #1, during which a young woman will transform into an Abomination - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide

Once you enter the northern room a cutscene will start #1, during which a young woman will transform into an Abomination. Once the fight begins (M35, 4), ignore the demon and start attacking Captain Reiner #2, as he's also an assassin. At the same time keep an eye for any traps in the area and try to disarm them.

10 - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide
Only after eliminating Reiner should you attack the Abomination #1, while looking out for the powerful spells it uses - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide

Only after eliminating Reiner should you attack the Abomination #1, while looking out for the powerful spells it uses. Just like with any other fight of this type, it's worth to freeze the monster or at least slow his moves. In the end take care of the Corpses and a few Skeleton Archers #2, which won't be too hard at this point.

11 - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide
After the fight, be sure to examine the bodies of Captain Reiner and the Abomination #1 - Wayward Son - p. 1 - Act I - Dragon Age II Game Guide

After the fight, be sure to examine the bodies of Captain Reiner and the Abomination #1. In the second case, apart from precious treasures you will also find an item which will activate a new quest. Now check out the chest #2 (M35, 5). Take the hideout location map, which suggests that it might be worth to pay a visit to Danzig, residing in Darktown.

Secondary quest unlocked: An Errant Letter
