Visit Merrill at her home in the alienage.

At this point in the game (if you are playing a fighter or rogue character) your sister Bethany has been taken to the Circle. “Consoling Words” Mini QuestĪt the beginning of Act 2, the Consoling Words mini companion quest becomes available to you. However, don’t skip this quest as you may lose other opportunities with Merrill later in the game. During this conversation, no friendship or rivalry points can be earned no matter how you respond to the conversation. When you are there, Merrill will ramble on about how she thinks muggings are fascinating and how things in the city seem to get lost. At this point, you need to visit Merrill at her home. Merrill will be able to have a one on one conversation with you after the completion of Aveline’s companion quest The Way it Should Be.

This is different from other than other characters you can romance in Dragon Age 2.

“Nice Crime you have Around Here” Mini QuestĪfter visiting Merrill for the first time in Act 1, there is little opportunity to boost up your friendship or start a romance. Give the diplomatic response- “You are doing fine.” At the end of this conversation, you should earn +5 friendship points. Say “Do you really?” which causes your character to say “You are so sweet Merrill.” The conversation will continue and Merrill then asks you why she doesn’t have any friends. In this conversation, Merrill thanks you for bringing her to Kirkwall. To complete the Welcome Home quest visit Merrill at her new home in the elven alienage located in LowTown. This conversation unlocks a small mini companion quest called Welcome Home. Arriving in Kirkwall surprises Merrill and she comments on how many people are located there. Leave Sundermount and travel back to a location in Kirkwall. The Keeper informs you that Merrill will be accompanying you to Kirkwall.
