A Vicious Thug is a side quest in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Documents found in Costeau's camp mention a commander for the Freemen named Duhaime. He is among his peers holding a deserted villa in the Emerald Graves.
Acquisition
Obtained by examining a document in the Veridium Mine during A Fallen Sister.
Walkthrough
Travel to the yard surrounding Villa Maurel and defeat Commander Duhaime (usually found around The Betrayer landmark).
Note: If you kill Commander Duhaime before you find the documents at the Veridium Mine, the quest will simply complete when you examine the documents.
Rewards
- 967 XP
- 200 Influence
- 2 Power
Results
- The Villa Maurel Key, looted from Duhaime's body, allows entry into Villa Maurel and access to the quest, A Corrupt General.
Notable items
Glittering Darmallon, dropped by Duhaime
- Villa Maurel Key, dropped by Duhaime
Bugs
- If you kill Duhaime before entering the yard, the quest might fail to update properly, causing the marker to stay on the map for the rest of the game. This does not seem to have any detrimental effect on the quest chain though.
