The second group will have 4 stronger raiders and two archers. You need to keep him from wrecking your fighter, Varric or your mage. Have Aveline tank them during the battle to try and get the focus of the assassin. Tear through the small raiders quickly, while Varric and your mage use some area of effect magic to start wearing away at them. This assassin can do massive amounts of damage and has a ton of health. Try to have at least one person fight the strongest raider.

The Way It Should Be - The Real AmbushĮngage the group. You may have picked up some better stuff from the raiders, and every little bit helps. Move forward to the actual ambush spot, but stop and make sure that you’re equipped with the best gear. Repeat the usual tactics to take them out. Move on and grab the chest and the elfroot by the road, then move along to the next open area for another fight with some archers and assassins. Grind away at this heavy hitter until he dies, and loot the body. Have someone take out the archers and have your tank tie up the reaver. Once they go down, another group lead by a reaver will spawn. Move up the back road and engage the first small group. Other than that, just keep them away from Varric and your Mage and it won’t be too hard.Īs a side note, Varric’s hail of arrows is incredibly nice for wearing away at archers and other fighters in a tight battlefield. The assassin will run around the battlefield and do backstabs for a lot of damage, so don’t let anyone get too low for health. Have someone take out the archers while the other tries to distract the assassin. The first group has a few archers and an assassin. There should be a spot marked for the ambush site, if Aveline is in your party. Leave an area in Kirkwall and signal that you want to go to Sundermount with the button on the bottom right. The Way It Should Be - Finding the Ambush Site You’ll need to face down a lot of raiders, and a raider assassin at once. The ambush is fairly difficult to survive, if you aren’t ready for it. I suggest that you make sure that you have good equipment and a few levels under your belt before you commit to the fight. Aveline’s companion quest is a fairly long affair, but it will help her gain some status in the guard and net you a fair reward and some good gear.
