Dragon Age Origins: Beresaad sword Dragon Age: Origins Guide

Last update: 07 June 2024

Received from: Sten [Campsite]

Description: You probably won't be able to start this quest in the early parts of the game, because gaining trust with Sten is going to be a long process. Make sure to build your relationship with him until he decides you to tell the story of the murders he committed. Sten will inform you that during his last battle he's lost his sword and naturally you can promise to find it for him. Start off by travelling to [Lake Calenhad docks]. You should remain near the passageway to the world map, because you'll come across a scavenger nearby (M32, 10). Talk to this person and you'll be directed to a trader named Faryn.

Faryn can be found in [Frostback mountains pass] area (M47, 8). Start the conversation with him and don't forget to mention that the owner of the blade he stole is still alive. Faryn will send you to talk to Dwyn and in exchange for not telling Sten about him you may convince him to give you a bribe. Dwyn can be found in [Redcliffe - Dwyn's house] (M27, 15) and there are three ways of retrieving the sword. The easiest way to get the sword would be to have Sten as an active member of your team, because he wouldn't have any problems convincing the dwarf to return his possession. If you don't want to return to the party camp you can purchase the blade or convince the dwarf yourself that he should give the item voluntarily (persuasion, intimidation). Once you've received a key check a small room in the back, open one of the crates and take Sten's sword (M27, 27). You may now return to camp and give your friend the sword as a gift. Notice that Sten will be able to use this blade from now on and that it's going to be an ideal choice for his primary weapon.
