``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Introduction ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` I made this walkthrough as part of the main walkthrough for the game I made. I am posting it as a stand alone walkthrough to help people who only want this part of the Walkthrough. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Mark of The Assassin ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` I started this at level 28 having finished Legecy. I prefer the Champion armor to the warden armor, so I'm using that, and I am using Hawke's Key as a weapon. Go to "Memento of Mark of the Assassin" and active it to begin. Varric must be in your party this time. I recomend bringing Avelive along. And then either a mage for battles. Or Isabela for her hummor. I choose Isebela. After the battle loot the bodys, one of them has a codex, and leave hightown. Tallis joins your party, She is a new Companion, though one you only have for this DLC. She replaces Varric in your line up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Achievement - A New Day | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | By having Tallis join your party, you earn this achievement. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Note. If your Hawke is a rouge like mine, bringing along Isabela may make things difficult for you. Having 3 rouges in one party isn't the best idea. But my hawke is built like a tank, and I'm confident in my skills. So I'm doing anyway. Once the scene ends, go to the "!" mark and talk to the person to begin a side quest. In the northeast conner is the shop. Though there is nothing of interest there. You can talk to Tallis for a scene. Move onto the next screen. There are several things you need to collect to get the alpha version of the boss, and since beating it brings an achievement, that's the path this guide takes. Go north for a fight after the path, garther the Dragonling. This is the first of the items. There is also a pile of bones here. Head south down the west path to an ancient altar, interact with it and kill the demon. Continuing south you'll find some blood, garther that. This is item number two. Continue south to the "!" Mark and talk to the person for another side-quest. Continue south on a new path and you'll come across a potion. On the path, when it splits to the north go there and garther the "Andraste's Mantle" You'll also get the 3rd thing you need for the hunt. Another potion on the path forward, and another one ahead. Off to the west is "Drakevein" Grab it. A Fight waits in the south, as well as a "!" mark which is a new quest. Head all the way back to the alter. Interacting with it now makes a chest appear. Loot it. Head back south and into the next area. In the north is a Viewpoint, a Winterberry, and two potions. Go north and follow the doggie to it's friend. Treat it with the herbs you've collected. Then follow the dogs back to their owner. Heading north again, and north at the fork this time, you'll come across some shit, search it for the 4th item you need. Don't go further this way yet, instead head south. You'll come across a potion on the path. You'll also find some reminds of a kill. This is the 5th and final item you need. At the end of the south path is a pile of bones. There is a battle here, and a small path to the west with another pile of bones. We're done here. Go all the way north to fine the perfect spot to lure at. Choose the "Use everything we found at once" Option to lure an Alpha. It will be a tough but doable battle. After it is another battle, though a much easier one. We're done here so choose to continue one when given the choice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Achievement - Chasing the Game | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Kill the Alpha Wyvern. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Chooses in these scenes don't matter much. There is a Caprice right near the "Pet", grab it. Don't talk to any guard yet. We're going to do a couple of things here. Near the fountain is "Comtesse Dului de Launcet", you can talk to her for a scene. There is also "Lady Elegant", "Teagan", "Leliana", and "Seneschal Bran". Time to collect the Caprices. In the east is a shop, a Caprice can be bought here. There is one behind Leliana, and one on another bench near by. That makes four. One more too collect. Go talk to a guard, any guard. You'll find one sooner or later that lost there key to a servent. Next go talk to servents. Then go talk to Lord Cyril. He'll give you a Caprice. The 5th one. Throw it into the well and then talk to lord cyril again. You can flirt, or kick his ass to get the key. Head to the quest arrow and enter. To get an Achievement you need to sneak around. So Agree to do so. Staying in the shadows makes it harder for the guards to see you. Follow the game's intrustion. Collect the codex in the room with the first guard. Go into the shadows next and wait for them to pass by you. Turn and go north into the kitchen. There is a potion, a barrel, and a quest here. Doing this will make a battle later on much easier. Add 9 Navet, 6 of lutefish, and 3 of the cheese. Then add it to the pet's food. Move into the south room and grab the neckless on the floor, and the chest. Knock out the guard up ahead and grab the key. Up the stairs and through the door. There is a chest in the north of the first area. Near the next stair use a stone to distract one of the guards, and knock out the other one. You'll come to a room with a Love Poem and a codex, pick them up. In the north is a room with two chests. Loot them. There is another Chest to the south of that room. go to the Quest Arrow now, and continue forward... Be thankful you didn't have any of the food... In the next room is a potion and codex. Another 3 Codexes after the stairs. There is a chest in the next outdoor area to the east. There is another one to the northwest. And a potion in the southwest. The Guard at the potion has a key, loot it and move on. There are two chesta on the path forward. This is another puzzle. Have tallis and hawke stand on the switches right there. Then have one go to the north, the other south. Make your way forward, switching back and forth between the two, and knock over both statues. Now, Have one person stand on the block on each side of the door. Then move on person to the middle south switch, and have the other go up the stairs to work your way to the chest. Do the same for the chest in the north, and have someone stand infront of each chest to unlock the northern one. Loot and continue on. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Achievement - Blackjack Subtle | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | If you choose to sneak around and made it in the vault. You earn this | | Achievement. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a person in a cell to the south, with a pile of bones. Go back into the Vault for another Achievement Quest. Pick up the White Rune, and open the doors with a white rune. Get the black rune next and open to door in the south path with it. Use the Blue rune to open the door in the north path. Kill the enemy and pick up the Cursed Emerald. Take the yellow rune and open the next door. Put yellow and blue into the mixer to get a Green Rune. Open the Green door, get the Cursed Diamond, and loot. There are tiles on the floor that you need to flit into the correct order by interacting with them in this room. But first let's finish the runes. Go to the west path first. At the mixer grab the black Rune and open the doors. Grab a white rune now and open the door for it. Grab the blue rune and open that door. Pick up the Cursed Ruby and the Red rune. Place it and a blue rune in the mixer to get purple, and use it to open the next door. Grab the Cursed Sapphire and loot the room. Don't go south, take the east path now. There is a title puzzle here. The Solution. X = Don't turn 123 ... = Turn in this order ABC ... = Turn in this order after numbers. If you mess up you can reset the puzzle by using the switch in the room. 1 2 X X X 3 4 X 5 6 X X 7 8 9 X A B C X X D E X F Now for the final Title puzzles in the center room. East: o = Face up X = Face down o X X X X o o o o o o X X X X North: o = Face up X = Face down o X o X o o o o X o o X o X o West: o = Face up X = Face down X o X o X X o o o X X o X o X Loot the center of all it's treasure. Make sure to get the Dagger of the four winds. You'll also get a complete armor set. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Achievement - The Take | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | You get this for solveing all the puzzles in the vault. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Backtrack and enter the dungeons. There is another person locked in a cell. Open it and loot the corpse in there. Move forward and you'll find talking statues... Talk to them. I honestly keep the dagger. It's a nice weapon for Isabela. In the next room to the north is a pile of bones, and a second one to the south. Now go into the Crack in the Wall. At the fork go south and pick up the Quest Marker. There is a corpse to the south of that, and a potion. Theres another corpse and potion on the north part of the path. Move forward. There is a Viewpoint on the bridge. After the fight there is a crate right there. Loot the bodies. The Gate forward is glitched and even though you can open it, it won't show you as being able to. Just interact with it. Down the west path is another love poem for aveline, as well as a chest and a potion. The east path has a sack. There is a potion and a crate after the scene. And this is where this guide splits. You have a choice, follow Tallis or don't. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Leave Tallis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you choose to follow her, skip this section. There will be tough fights, and two Caches along the path. Enter the Ruins. (Skip next section.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Join Tallis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you choose to leave her, then skip this section. If you let the Baron live eariler, you'll fight him now. There will be two Caches along the path. Once you find out that your going the wrong way, go to the Ruins. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A List of Names ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Attack the Duke, His arrows set traps all around you on the ground, look out for them. If you poisoned the food eariler then this boss will be weakened by it. So he'll call Leopold into battle, and rid him at some point. Making it a harder battle. The Poison won't last long though, if your shot with the green slim Leopold will chase you. In the 3rd part of the battle. (When the duke rides Leopold.) He'll set up a wide trap and damage everyone. Look for the flames on the ground and try to avoid being near them when they go off. He'll shoot you with the green slim after the trap, and charge at you, get him to charge off the cliff for an easy chance to damage him. Whatever you choose the story pretty much ends the same. Tallis leaves with the list of names, and doesn't join your companions. Oh well. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Achievement - Mark of the Assassin | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | You gain this achievement by completing this DLC. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Contact ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` My email is Poydi@yahoo.com.
