A Noble Agenda Dragon Age II Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Received from: Ser Marlein Selbech [Hightown]
You will meet Ser Marlein Salbech east from the marketplace in Hightown1 (M3, 25). If you agree to pass the roll #2, she will give you few tasks connected with disposing the noblemen against Meredith. If you refuse to help, the quest will finish immediately and you won't be able to continue it later on.
To pass the first part of this quest go to the localization [Anthill]. Here start exploring the southern part of the area where you should find a passage (M23, 13) to localization [Anthill- Hidden storage] #1 (M76, 1). Now head north and prepare to deal with a group of mercenaries and mercenary archers #2. It shouldn't be too difficult but don't let the second group surprise you as they will appear at the entrance to this localization.
No go west, on your way open the chest with valuable treasures. After reaching the new place (M76, 2) it is a good idea to step back and wait for the enemies to come. At the beginning eliminate Templars' lieutenant #1, and then deal with normal Templars and Templars' archers #2. Again look for chest, with a very valuable Garahel's Helmet.
To complete the second part of the quest during the day go to the localization [Lowtown]. Here head towards the housing area where you will meet Ser Mettin #1 (M12, 21). Come up to him and after listening to a short conversation, you will have to fight with Templars #2.
First you should eliminate Ser Mettin #1, because he has the power to influence the Templars by encouraging them to fight. After you eliminate him successfully, start eliminating other enemies. Be especially careful towards at least one Templar hunter #2, prevent him from attacking by surprise.
After winning the battle go back to the localization according to the clue you will get [Hightown - Hawke Estate] and get into interaction with the desk (M14, 12), read the content of the new message titled Noble cause #1. You will get 3 sovereigns and you will be asked to provide protection during the meeting. To do it at night go to the localization [Lowtown], again go to the housing area #2.
After reaching the place (M13, 22) you will witness a short conversation #1, then you will start fighting #2. Notice that, apart from mini-boss Ser Edgert, called the Hound you will also come across Templars' lieutenants, Templars hunters, Templars archers as well as "regular" Templars.
Immediately after the fight starts I suggest you to focus on attacking Ser Edgert #1. Defeating him will not be too difficult, especially as you will have to additional persons on your side (Ser Marlein Selbech and Ser Theodore from Wildervale). After eliminating Edgert start attacking other enemies. It is a good idea to eliminate archers as soon as possible as well as all Templars hunters #2.
At the very end eliminate two Templars' lieutenants #1. Of course they will encourage other enemies to fight but they are too resistant and if you tried to kill them you would be attacked from many sides. After winning the battle they will thank you for your help #2, and the quest will end.
