Justice - p. 1 Dragon Age II Guide

Received from: automatically after reaching the anthill [Anthill]
Step 1: A conversation with Anders
This task should appear automatically in your notebook during one of your visits in the anthill if you completed the companion quest Check how's Anders. Go to the clinic again to talk to Grey Warden #1 (M23, 2). While talking you'll learn that Anders knows a special tactic which allows you to leave Justice for good. Unfortunately, to make it work, you will have to obtain very rare ingredients. Read dialogue sections carefully because at some point you will have to make a decision #2:
- help Anders find the ingredients (right upper or right middle dialogue option)
- not helping Anders (right bottom dialogue option): in such case the quest finishes and it cannot be repeated, however you will not get rivalry points with Anders
Step 2: Finding the ingredients
Anders looks for dragon rocks and sela petrae dust. It will be easier to find the second ingredient, because you won't have to leave the anthill. Go to the southern part of the area and look for passage (M23, 14) to localization [Anthill - Channels] #1 (M77, 1). Confirm you started searching #2 and notice that during the visit in channels Anders will have to join an active team.
In the channels there are five sources of sela petrae (M77, 2) and unfortunately you have to reach them all. The moment you reach the channels you will be attacked by smugglers of lyrium, their archmen, dwarf-human mercenaries #1 as well as the foreman of the smugglers of lyrium. First it is worth attacking the last one #2.
At the beginning it is better to fight at the ground floor as there are too many traps upstairs. One of them is right next to the stairs #1, and the next one just few steps further #2. Try to use the rogue to disarm them quickly, as a result, no person on the team will accidentally fall into one of the traps.
After winning the battle, look for deposit situated north from the place where you started #1. Now start exploring the southern part of the channels. Unfortunately, in this case too you will have to fight. As fast as possible get rid of apostate wizards #2 and then attack pirate robbers.
To find the second deposit you have to use the stairs and choose a very narrow passage #1. Now come back to the place where you fought the first group of enemies and then head towards the doors on the north #2.
There's a new battle ahead of you, during which it is worth staying in the southern part of channels and waiting until the enemies arrive. Focus on eliminating the new foreman of the lyrium smugglers #1 and after killing him, take care of the weaker criminals. After winning the battle go to the northern part of the room, you will find the third deposit #2.
Continue going north. Watch out because there is a very dangerous trigger trap #1, which has to be disarmed. After noticing the enemies, go back south and wait till they come. First start eliminating the weaker units and one new foreman #2.
At the end deal with mini-boss of this location - a very resistant Foreman #1 (M77, 3). You can look the last two deposits #2, as well as at least one chest with valuable treasures. After collecting all five deposits, go to the exit situated in the north part of channels (M77, 4).
After obtaining dragon rocks (the second ingredient on the list), you have to leave the Anthill and decide to localization [Bone Pit] (M80, 1) After reaching the place you should notice that the miners camp was completely destroyed #1 (M80, 2) and to check how it happened you have to complete the quest titled Massacre in the mine. IGNORE the path leading south and go east instead #2.
Go south-east and after a few moments you will reach a passage (M80, 6) leading to localization [Bony Pit - Dragon Stone Mines] #1 (M81, 1). Just as you did before, you have to confirm the urge to start exploration of the new localization #2 and join Anders in the active team.
