Blackpowder Promise

Your friendly guide to Dragon Age II's Blackpowder Promise quest. We'll help you navigate The Wounded Coast, defeat spiders, and find valuable loot. Get started!

Alright, let's get this Blackpowder Promise quest sorted! This one starts out kind of like a rumor, but it's a good way to pick up some extra loot and experience. You'll be heading towards areas like The Wounded Coast or Sundermount, and along the way, you might get stopped by some Corrupted Spiders and Giant Spiders. Don't worry, they're not too tough. Once you clear them out, you'll save a dwarf who gives you a tip: you can take out some Tal-Vashoth over at The Wounded Coast while you're at it. He's right, you know – it's a good way to kill two birds with one stone. He'll also point you towards some embrium, a bit of rubble, and a Caste Treatise which actually kicks off another quest for you.

Now, head over to The Wounded Coast. When you get to the first split in the path, take the northern route. Then, take the northern route again at the second split. You'll find some spindleweed up there. Keep going until the path ends – you'll run into some Giant Spiders blocking your way to a chest - simple. Take 'em down and grab the loot. After that, backtrack a bit and head west. You should find some elfroot just off the main path. If you explore a small cut-off path to the north, you'll find a pile of bones. Keep pushing further ahead, and you'll spot a chest - standard near a campsite. Continue heading west until you reach another campsite. Here, you'll find a sack and a crate. Keep your eyes peeled for loot!
