“Well I'm here, I'm cold, and I'm certainly going to die. I hope you're as amused as Murdock is.”


Lloyd is the landlord of Redcliffe's tavern.

Involvement[]


This section contains spoilers for:
Dragon Age: Origins.


The Warden can first visit Lloyd's tavern during A Village Under Siege. He will trade equipment with the Warden and stocks some rare items including ale and a Double-Baked Mabari Crunch Recipe. Lloyd can be intimidated into fighting in the The Attack at Nightfall.

Note: Several of the options are only available once. If you do not choose them when they first come up, you will never get the chance to do so again.

Lloyd can participate in the upcoming fight in a variety of ways.

  • Lloyd can be persuaded to give free ale to the militia. ("I hear you're charging the militia for ale." or "Are you charging the militia for their ale?")
Note: In order for this option to be available, the Warden must first speak to the leftmost militia.
Lloyd murder scene

Lloyd murdered in his own tavern

  • A coercion skill of 3 is required to persuade him to do this, whereas a coercion skill of 2 is required to intimidate him.
  • Lloyd can be killed outright in a cutscene by using the Murder knife. No loot will be found on his body.
  • If Bella owns the tavern after Lloyd is killed, she will agree to give free ale for the militia.
  • If the Warden takes ownership of the tavern after killing Lloyd, they can let Bella serve free ale to the militia.
  • If the Warden owns the tavern through intimidation, they can make Lloyd serve free ale to the militia. Bella does not have the option to serve free ale at this point, so let Lloyd give out free rounds before sending him off to fight.
Note: The Warden must either kill or intimidate Lloyd into giving over ownership of the tavern before convincing him to serve free drinks, or that dialog choice will be gone forever.
  • Lloyd can be convinced to join the militia, although he wields only a dagger and is outclassed even in 1 on 1 combat. ("Shouldn't you be helping defend the village?")
Note: this option is only available the first time you ask him about it, via "I need some questions answered." or "Answer a few questions."
  • After Lloyd joins the militia Bella will take charge of the tavern (she will also do so after Lloyd is killed and the Warden suggests it). She will 'sell' most of the goods previously owned by Lloyd for 0 Bronze, in effect giving away most of his stock to the Warden.
  • If Lloyd survives the battle, he will return to the tavern, but Bella will still be in charge. He will resume running the tavern (i.e. a trading merchant with unlimited flasks) after the Warden helped her start a new life.
He will be in front of the chantry during the battle at Redcliffe Village if you manage to intimidate him. You have to manually use your healer to heal Lloyd, or focus your party towards protecting him. Lloyd charges into combat, and may leave the barricades to take on enemies beyond them. Left alone, he will die.
Once battle is over, talk to him and he will thank you for pushing him to fight as it gained him the respect of his fellow villagers. He will reward you with:
Lloyd's Magic Ring Lloyd's Magic Ring (+2 strength, -1 cunning)
Note: The Warden must either kill or intimidate Lloyd into giving over ownership of the tavern before convincing him to serve free drinks or that dialog choice will be gone forever.
  • Lloyd can be intimidated into accepting the Warden as a partner in the tavern, paying 80 Silver immediately and another 20 Silver when asked for a share of the profits, as well as free access to the items in his store. The Warden can then make Lloyd serve free ale to the militia and/or force Lloyd to join in the defense of the village.
  • Lloyd can be killed outright (cutscene). Then, the Warden can speak to Bella and assume ownership of the Tavern.
Note: if the Warden gains ownership of the Tavern after killing Lloyd, the option to suggest Bella take ownership of the Tavern will be gone.
To get ownership of Lloyd's Tavern:
  • Speak to the leftmost militia
  • Speak to Lloyd. Choose 4 "I hear you're charging the militia for ale."
  • Next, choose "Their money won't help you if you're dead."
  • Then choose "Would anyone miss you?" (if you don't want to kill him).
  • Then, when he offers to pay you for protection, choose "(Intimidate) I'd only protect something I own. Understand me?"
After gaining ownership of the tavern, the buy/sell options are replaced with take/stash. On xbox360xbox360pcPC the inventory is glitched and you cannot stash items. (This may still work if you have the Warden's Keep DLC). Lloyd's trading merchant inventory (see below) will no longer be accessible, even after the battle.
The Warden can transfer ownership (if gained through intimidation) to Bella only after The Attack at Nightfall, and the non-trading free inventory will shift to her.

Notes[]

  • Lloyd will have two sets of inventory: a trading merchant as above when he is the owner of the tavern and a non-trading but free stock when he has taken on the Warden as a partner.
  • His inventory will be closed when he is intimidated/convinced to fight alongside the militia (leaving Bella in charge). He will reopen for business if he survives the battle and after Bella leaves Redcliffe to start a new life.

Trivia[]

  • Lloyd was originally the character who gave the Warden access to the golem control rod, before Shale was cut from the base version of the game.
