Night Terrors

Night Terrors is a secondary quest in Dragon Age II.

Acquisition
You can acquire this quest from a letter in your home. It is preceded by "Wayward Son". This one will be available after completing the Deep Roads Excursion portion of the game.

Before Entering the Fade
After your conversation between Keeper Marethari and Arianni, the Keeper will talk to you in person, asking you to kill Feynriel should he turn into an abomination. If you answer "I understand",, , (Only if Merrill is also in the party). The other option "I can't do that",, ,.

One Attribute Point
Upon entering the fade look for a partially invisible flying book that fly’s around the pillar on your right. Reading this book gives you one attribute, the best way to do this is to hold your party back and stand in the circler path of the book and wait for it to stop in front of you and then press A twice.

Torpor (Sloth Demon)
The first demon can be found immediately upon entering the front door. The demon will offer you a deal if you agree to hand Feynriel over. If you take the offer he'll offer you Power, Knowledge or Magic. If you take the offer and Anders is in the Party, Justice will object and you will have to fight Anders ( (Winning fights with party members in the Fade only causes them to leave your party temporarily during you stay in the Fade, not permanently as is the case in Dragon Age: Origins/Awakening) If Hawke rejects the offer, Torpor must be defeated .  Hawke will now be able to go up one of two stairwells where two doors regarding Feynriel await. Once you get through the visions simply pick your choices to make Feynriel aware of the demon being present. You will also encounter a rage demon where Torpor was located previously once you've completed a room.

Big/Small Barrels
Head left and through the door before the Feynriel’s Desire door, and turn left through the first door on the left. Against the northern wall of the corridor you will see seven barrels, three on top and four on the bottom. There are three large barrels on top, and your goal is to rearrange the barrels so that the large ones are on the bottom and the small ones are on top. You only have limited amount of moves before demons attack you. To do this label the top four spaces 1,2,3,4 and the bottom four bottom spaces A,B,C,D. Upon completion you will have one attribute point to spend.

(To make moving the barrels easier, for Xbox, first hold your party back by the door, then stand in front of the barrels and press/hold left trigger and select move-to-spot once icon appears press B button, the barrels that can move are now highlighted. All you need to do now is to move the right thumb stick.)

3>4- C>3- B>C- A>B- 1>A- 2>1- B>2- A>B- 1>A- 2>1- 3>2- C>3- D>C- 4>D

Those Red Barrels
After completing the first Barrel Puzzle, head to the room next to it with yet some more barrels. There are 10 barrels against the northern wall, six brown ones and four red ones. The goal in this puzzle is to have a block of four red barrels in the center. Again, you have a limited amount of moves before demons attack you. This can be done in 16 moves if you follow the guide carefully. Solving this puzzle awards you with two attribute points. So again label the six spaces on top 1,2,3,4,5,6 and the bottom six A,B,C,D,E,F the first character should be a barrel and the next should be an empty spot. 2>1 - B>2 - 5>6 - E>5 - A>B - 1>A - 2>1 - 3>2 - F>E - 6>F - 5>6 - 4>5 - C>3 - D>4 - B>C - E>D.

Caress (Desire Demon)
Found within the door labeled "Feynriel's Desires"

The following party members will betray Hawke when tempted by this demon:
 * Isabela - Tempted by the offer of a new ship and crew.
 * Aveline - Tempted by getting back her deceased husband, Ser Wesley

Wryme (Pride Demon)
Found within the door labeled "Feynriel's Pride"

The following party members will betray Hawke when tempted by this demon:
 * Merrill - Tempted by the offer of power enough to save and protect her people.
 * Fenris - Tempted by being given power enough to be an equal to the Tevinter mages.
 * Varric - Tempted by the offer of power to get back at his brother, Bartrand, for his betrayal in the Deep Roads.

If either Caress or Wryme succeed in tempting a party member, Hawke will have to fight the demon along with the tempted party member. Once the companion is defeated, they will leave Hawke's party and wake up from the fade. Anders will never be tempted as Justice keeps him safe here. Sebastian will refuse to even enter the Fade as a man of the faith.

It appears that the party members listed above will always betray Hawke, regardless of friendship/rivalry points or the resolution of issues related to their temptation. For example, even if Varric's friend meter is maxed out and he has confronted Bartrand during the relevant companion quest, he will still betray Hawke when tempted by Wryme. Likewise, Aveline will still betray Hawke when tempted by Caress, even if she has a full friend meter and has begun a relationship with Donnic in "The Long Road" quest.

In both cases only one character will betray you. With Caress Isabela is the default, but if she isn't in your party and Aveline is, it will be Aveline. With Wryme the order is Merrill > Fenris > Varric. Therefore, if you go into the Fade with Anders, Aveline, and Varric, you could potentially lose all three for the duration of the quest (if you choose to deal with Torpor). However, a party of Merrill, Fenris and Varric will only lose one character, and only at the end. This can be used to give you an advantage in combat, or to gain friendship/rivalry points through follow-up quests.

Hint: Check out the side chambers for a codex entry.

Feynriel
Once all demons are defeated, head back out to where Torpor was to encounter Feynriel and decide his fate.

Ending Outcomes
There are three possible outcomes for Feynriel for this quest:

1. Make a deal with Torpor the Sloth demon and pick your reward. You must convince Feynriel he is in a dream or the Sloth demon will say his mind is useless and attack you. - Feynriel is considered dead when quest is complete.

2. You save Feynriel. With Hawke's refusal to kill him and encouragement, Feynriel will seek out the mages in Tevinter for further knowledge on how to handle his abilities. His mother won't like not saying goodbye, but understands. The Keeper will reward you with the Tome of the Slumbering Elders. Pick the options &quot;You will not die&quot; and &quot;I will not kill you.&quot; If you didn't tell Feynriel of the demon and he figures out for himself, Feynriel will be more confident in his abilities and will not ask for you to kill him.

3. Make Feynriel a tranquil at his behest by killing him with the fade by selecting the option at any point &quot;As you wish.&quot;. His mother will be devastated. Even if you didn't tell Feynriel of the demon and he figures it out for himself, you still have the option to make Feynriel tranquil. Choose "I cannot let you go."

Betrayals by companions will result in quests for each betraying companion. Depending on Hawke's dialogue choices it can lead to friendship or rivalry points. Aveline - Doubts that Linger Fenris - Fenris Night Terrors Isabela - Isabela's Apology Merrill - Merrill, An Apology Varric - Varric's Apology Anders - Anders in the Fade

Puzzles

 * 1) The flying book in the first room can be read. As it will always stop at roughly the same places simply wait for it and pause to click on it. You will get.
 * 2) East of the first room are 7 barrels that can be moved by clicking on them. If you can get all four large barrels on the floor and the three smaller ones above them within the move-limit you get another . You only have a limited number of moves to make. In order to successfully complete this puzzle, you must first move the top two big barrels on the right, exposing the left-middle small barrel. Move this barrel up, and the big barrel on the left down, move all the small barrels up and move the big barrels down and left.
 * 3) The second barrel puzzle is in the next room to the east. This time you have to get all four red barrels into the middle of the 10 barrels to get another . This puzzle is much easier than the previous, simply move the left/right-middle barrels up, rotate the barrels to get the red on the bottom, move the bottom red barrel up and the rotated red barrel under it. Labeling the 12 positions 1-6 top left to right, and 7-12 bottom left to right, the solution is by moving: 2, 8, 5, 11, 7, 1, 2, 3, 12, 6, 5, 4, 9, 10, 8, 11.
