The Unbidden Rescue Dragon Age II Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

The quest giver: automatically after reading a note Reward - rescue the viscount's son [Hightown - Market] or Seneschal Bran [Hightown - Viscount's Keep]

Step 1: Talk to Seneschal Bran

You can start this quest after completing the main quest Long Way Home and it can be activated in two ways. You can go to the [Hightown - Market] location during the day. You should find here a note on the pillar with information about a reward for rescuing the viscount's son #1 (M3, 29). But better way to activate this quest is to go to the [Hightown - Viscount's Keep] location (also during the day), because you would have to go there anyway. Head to the northern part of the keep and you'll watch a short cut-scene #2 (M9, 13).

During the conversation with Seneschal Bran you can ask him few additional questions #1. You'll learn that Seamus Dumar was lost somewhere in the Wounded Coast. At the end of this conversation you'll have to choose #2 if you want to go and rescue a boy (upper right dialog option) or ignore this topic for a moment (bottom right dialog option). In both cases however this quest will be added to your journal.

Step 2: Find Seamus Dumar

You can now leave the keep and being on the world map travel to the [Wounded Coast] location. After reaching the destination choose the southern path #1. Watch out because on your way you might run into Tal-Vashoth mercenaries among others. Turn south #2 when it is possible and head towards the island visible in the distance.

Head south all the time and after few moments you should get to the larger camp #1 (M28, 26). You'll meet Seamus Dumar there and by the way you'll learn that Ginnis, who were sent to find a boy, has brutally murdered Qunari in the camp. Regardless of the dialog option you choose #2 you'll also have to fight her and her subordinates.

Step 3: Defeat Ginnis and her men

Shortly after the battle beginning, proceed to attack mercenaries and mercenary archers #1. They have very short health bars so you can kill then very quickly. Only after you clean the area a little, focus your attack on Ginnis #2. She is an assassin so be aware of her stealth attack.

After eliminating Ginnis, start attacking new waves of enemies which will appear at the entrance to the camp. When this battle is over, you'll watch a short conversation cut-scene with Seamus. Unfortunately it will be very short conversation because next group of mercenaries #1 will arrive shortly. Try to locate and kill their leader #2 as soon as possible.

Winning this battle results in next conversation cut-scene #1. And this is not over yet, because third wave of enemies will attack you in few moments. Again you'll have to kill as fast as possible not only their leader, but also mercenary assassin #2.

This was the last battle - all Ginnis' men are dead. Talk to Seamus #1 again. But do not return to the keep yet (upper right dialog option) #2, because it is good to look around the camp and examine the bodies. After exploration the area go to Seamus and tell him that you're ready to return.

Step 4: return to the Viscount's Keep

The action moves now automatically to the [Hightown - Viscount's Keep] location #1 (M9, 7). At the end of the conversation with viscount Dumar you will be able to select dialog option #2. Regardless of whether you remain impartial (upper left dialog option) or you agree with someone, the quest will be completed and you'll receive 5 sovereigns.
