Follow our step-by-step guide to complete the 'Wayward Son' quest in Dragon Age II. Find Arianni, track down Samson, and navigate the Docks to uncover the truth.
Alright, let's get this 'Wayward Son' quest sorted out. It kicks off when you chat with Arianni in the Elven Alienage in Lowtown during the day. She'll ask you to find her son, and bam! Quest accepted. You've got a couple of ways to get going here.
You can head straight to The Gallows and link up with Thrask. He's your guy for getting you to Samson. Alternatively, you can try finding Vincento in the Lowtown Bazaar. If you go that route, make sure you visit Lowtown at night to track down Samson.
Once you've got the intel from Samson, it's time to hit the Docks, but again, you'll need to go at night. Make your way down to Arthuris’s Private Dock and head through the door there.
- 1First thing you'll want to do is disarm the simple trap right there. After that, get ready for a fight – you'll be up against some Sailors and Marines. Keep an eye out for a crate to the west, and there's another one upstairs in the next room.
- 2Continue towards the other set of stairs. Don't forget to disarm another simple trap along the way.
- 3Head into the eastern room; you'll find another crate there. Then, push into the northern room. More enemies await, so be prepared. Be extra careful of a simple trap smack-dab in the middle of this room.
- 4After you've dealt with the enemies, search Captain Reiner. You'll find the weapon Bloodletter on him. Don't forget to search the Abomination too – it'll have Thrask’s Letter.
