A Murder of Crows - p. 2 Dragon Age II Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Step 5: Talk to Zevran

After winning the battle you'll watch a cut-scene from which you'll learn that an assassin you're looking for is Zevran #1, a well known character from first part of the game. During the conversation you can ask Zevran about Crows and even flirt with an elf a little bit #2.

At the end of the conversation you can act in two ways #1:

• do not pass Zevran in Crows' hands (upper right dialog option)
• escort Zevran to Nuncio (bottom right dialog option): in this case Zevran will voluntarily give up in your hands

Whether option you choose, go and examine 3 piles of gold #2 (M82, 3) nearby and then head towards the northern exit from caves (M82, 4).

Step 6: Go to the Nuncio's camp

If you've decided not to pass Zevran to Crows, you'll have to choose from the world map the [Antivan Camp] location #1 (M83, 1). Otherwise you'll be transferred there automatically #2.

If you've released Zevran then he will appear there after you reach the camp #1 and regardless of the dialog option you choose, you'll have to fight Crows. If you've arrested Zevran then in accordance with his assumptions you'll be betrayed by Crows #2 which also leads to fight. In both cases Zevran fortunately fights on your side.

Step 7: Defeat nuncio and Antivan Crows

Exceptionally I do not advise to attack Nuncio immediately and that's because most of Crows which accompany him are assassins #1. Begin eliminating them, taking out these with shorter health bars first #2. Check your party members health bars continuously, because assassins surprise attacks might deal a huge amount of damage.

After eliminating most of the Crows, deal with Nuncio's personal guards #1, who are tougher. Leave the Crows' leader for later #2. Fortunately Zevran is very helpful during this fight, so winning it shouldn't be very difficult.

Step 8: Talk to Zevran

After winning the battle, it is good to look around this location (it is quite wide) as Zevran suggests. Then talk to the elf #1 (M83, 2). You conversation can proceed in two ways. If you've released Zevran earlier and you've flirted with him, now you'll have an opportunity to spend pleasant moments with him in the tent, which you can agree to #2 or not. Noteworthy is that if you have Isabela in your party, she can join you, thus forming a love threesome. Whether option you've chosen, Zevran will give you a Finesse dagger and 1 sovereign. If you've earlier arrested Zevran then the conversation will be shorter and you'll get only 10 pieces as a reward.
