Freedom for Anders
Type: Combat
Start: Namaya in Amaranthine
Destination: Warehouse in Amaranthine
Task: Help Anders find his phylactery
Quest Tips: Enter Amaranthine with Anders in your party. In the back of the city, near the Dark Wolf, locate a past cohort of Anders, Namaya (see exclamation point 4 on the Amaranthine map). She tells Anders that he can find his phylactery in the Amaranthine warehouse across the city. Accompany Anders to the warehouse and search for lots of loot inside. You'll also find a group of templars, led by Ser Rylock, who will fight you for Anders. It's a trap; the phylactery was never in play. You can either give Anders over to the templars, where you will lose him from the party forever, or you can battle the templars by Anders's side. Anders will appreciate this gesture and his approval rating will bump up sizably.
