Go to the [Hightown] location.

I suggest staying near the starting point and eliminating all enemies one by one#1.

I recommend particularly aiming at groups of opponents, using for example explosive arrows for kill them#2.

If it is possible, do not let enemies approach Varric too often#1.

The dwarf could defend himself in such a situation, but he is far less effective with melee fight.

After winning the fight you’ll see a funny cut-scene showing Bartrand being captured#1.

PC

A game stops in this moment and a woman questioning Varric#2will demand a real version of events.

Head to the west room, where you’ll have to fight a group ofcrazy guards#2.

There are only four of them so it should be an easy victory.

PC

In a corner room you’ll meet other crazy guards, led bycrazy commander#1.

He should die first so he won’t be able to support his men.

After winning the battle head towards the northern door#2.

PC

There are more difficult fights in a next room.

Watch out for traps set on the floor#1.

Try do disarm them first and then start the fight.

PC

Kill them one by one#2, dealing with archers first.

Fortunately they are not led by a commander.

Be careful, because there is a trigger trap with spikes downstairs#2.

PC

If you’re not able to disarm it then retreat to the previous room after you’ve seen enemies.

You should go there (M56, 4) only after winning the battle.

Once you get upstairs you’ll see a conversation scene#1.

PlayStation

One of the Bartrand’sdwarveswill tell you that Varric’s brother lost his mind.
