Mark of the Assassin is the opening quest for the Mark of the Assassin DLC for Dragon Age II.
Acquisition[]
Hawke can initiate this quest by selecting the corresponding statue, "Memento of Mark of the Assassin".
Walkthrough[]
Varric is confronted by the Seeker Cassandra that Champion was involved with an incident that could cause war with Orlais. After some subtle threats, Varric relents and starts the tale.
Results[]
Varric's first encounter with Tallis
Varric's contact Edge wants to talk to Hawke and company, "something to do with you and nobles." One of the companions will point out the inevitability of an ambush, which gets Varric defensive. The party is then attacked by the Antivan Crows, but interrupted by an elf, Tallis, who has been looking for Hawke to steal a jewel, the Heart of the Many, from Duke Prosper.
Hawke follows Tallis to Chateau Haine.
Notes[]
- When selecting a party after you examine the Memento of Mark of the Assassin statue, if you are starting this quest in Act 3, Isabela returned in the Demands of the Qun quest, and you have not completed the Isabela's Regret quest, then you cannot select Isabela.
- If you are doing this quest in Act 1 or 2 then when Varric is talking to Cassandra he will still call Hawke "the Champion".
- Before leaving to Chateau Haine, a note can be looted from one of the dead Antivan Crows.
- If you choose to flirt with Tallis and Isabela is in the party, it will make for some funny dialogue.
