Follow this walkthrough for Dragon Age II's optional quest, 'The Long Road.' We'll guide you through Aveline's tasks, lighting signal fires on the Wounded Coast, and more.

Alright, let's tackle 'The Long Road,' an optional quest in Dragon Age II. It's a bit of a back-and-forth, but totally doable. We'll start by heading to Viscount's Keep.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, make your way to the Viscount's Keep and find Aveline in her office. She'll have a task for you. Accept it, and then head to the next room to speak with Guardsman Donnic.
  2. 2
    After you've completed Aveline's task, return to her. She'll give you another one. Finish that up, and then you'll be told to head to The Hanged Man at night.
  3. 3
    When you get to The Hanged Man, approach Donnic. Aveline will back out of this part, so it's up to you now. She'll then direct you to the Wounded Coast.
  4. 4
    Once you're on the Wounded Coast, stick to the northern path. You'll find a path leading to some Embrium and a pile of bones. Keep going, and you'll find the first Signal Fire.
  5. 5
    After lighting the first fire, head west. You'll find another Signal Fire, but expect some Raiders to be guarding it. Deal with them, then head south. Keep an eye out for any piles of bones and crates along the way.
  6. 6
    Search the nearby sack, and then light the second Signal Fire. Be ready, because lighting this one will trigger a confrontation with more enemies.
  7. 7
    Continue making your way around the Wounded Coast. You'll need to kill several bands of enemies and light any other Signal Fires you come across.
  8. 8
    Once you've finished lighting all the fires and clearing out the enemies, return to the Viscount's Keep and report back to Aveline. This will complete the quest.
Tips
  • Keep your eyes peeled for those Embrium deposits and piles of bones; they can sometimes hide useful items or just add a bit of flavor to the area.
  • Don't get too caught up in exploring every nook and cranny on the Wounded Coast unless you're looking for specific crafting materials. The main goal is to find and light those signal fires.
  • Be prepared for ambushes. The Raiders aren't going to just let you light their signal fires without a fight!
