Heart of the Many

Heart of the Many is a side quest in the Mark of the Assassin downloadable content for Dragon Age II.

Baiting a Wyvern
The quest begins with your arrival at Chateau Haine. You will meet Duke Prospero, the man who sent you the letter, and take part in a wyvern hunt and will need to kill a Wyvern in order to complete it. This part of the quest is best explained in Baiting a Wyvern. You do not have to attract and kill an Alpha Wyvern to complete the quest, any Wyvern will suffice. The minimum number of bait items needed appears to be 2.

After killing the wyvern, you will be attacked by a nobleman named Baron Arlange and his cronies. After the fight, you can choose to kill him, let him go, or let Duke Prospero (who turns up on the scene with his guards) decide. If you choose to kill Baron Arlange, the Duke will order his lackey to do it and you will later be able to loot Baron Arlange's Shield and Baron Arlange's Sword from the corpse. If you let Baron Arlange go, he may turn up and fight you again later in the quest. In that encounter, you will have no choice but to kill him anyway.

''Note: Killing Baron Arlange results in the combat ceasing immediately and Duke Prospero appearing on the scene. It may be wise to kill all of Arlange's guards before killing him to maximise XP gain.''

Burgling Chateau Haine

A party is thrown for Hawke in celebration of his achievement in slaying the first Wyvern of the season. Before the party, the four characters in your party will have a quick discussion, resulting in 2 of them (the non-Tallis ones) leaving Hawke. The rest of this section will be played without them.

During the party, Hawke is tasked to find an entrance into the Chateau. Tallis notices an unguarded, locked door and asks Hawke to help her find the key. Hawke will have to run around the Chateau Courtyard to find the key.


 * The first person Hawke should talk to is one of the Guards. There are 3 guards standing around the Courtyard
