What is the fastest way to get Zevran in your party? Does it matter what order you do the main quests in?

[hexaligned]

He joins after you get one of the factions to join your cause. I find mage tower to be the fastest.

[Pamoya]

Thanks!

I hope this isn't breaking any thread necro rules..
Over on the Dragon Age wiki, it says that you can trigger the encounter with Zevran after finishing one of the four main quests OR the Urn of Sacred Ashes... is the latter true?  (I'm hoping to get him ASAP, but I also want him present for the Circle quest... )  Thanks for any help

[bobsmyuncle]

Yes it is. It's what I did in my last game. Denerim -> Haven, then travel a bit until he shows up. Welcome to the love train

[Chains-Gore]

The Urn counts as a section of the main quest since you require the ashes to cure the Arl. The way I usually go since I like to have as much control over the leveling of my party as possible is as such.

Lothering: Lel, Sten -> Honnleath: Shale (If you have Stone Prisoner) -> Orz till you get Ohgren -> Cirlce Tower: Wynne -> walk around till Zev shows up -> On with the game. You now have all attainable party members minus the "Secret Companion"

I think I was only at level 9 when I completed my party.  I just left out any side quests that could be completed later on until I had my entire party gathered.

Thanks, bobsmyuncle!
Seriously, as soon as I started finding out a little about Zev, I knew I had to get him, stat. He's exactly my kind of character. XD

Edit: whoops, ninja'd, thanks Chain-Gore!  (Sounds like you can get Oghren before actually completing that quest line? Ooh...)

Just coming back to report it worked! (And boy, is Zevran entertaining. XD)

For thorough clarification's sake:



After Lothering, I went directly to Denerim (the Market District) to Genitivi's house. You can get the Urn quest there just from pure nosiness. Then I went to Haven to complete that... after traveling away from that area, the cutscene is prompted where Zev is hired, and soon thereafter, he makes his appearance. Hooray!

Doesn't that Redcliffe knight in the chantry in Lothering tell you about Genitivi? Or else it's in the note you show him, I forget. So from an RP perspective you were just proactive about pursuing the cure rather than waiting for Isolde to ask you to find it

And yeah, even if you can't catch fake-Weylon in a lie, if you just walk towards the back room he'll hulk out on you since he stashed the corpse back there. Saves you the trip to Lake Calenhad.

[jenovan]

Yup, the knight in the Lothering Chantry talks a bit about the Urn in relation to Arl Eamon. So yes -- we were just going to try to help out the Arl ourselves! ;D Makes plenty of sense... just means you don't have to make two trips to Redcliffe

[Arthurblade]

Does going the route of "Lothering --> Denerim -> Haven (complete Urn quest) -> Get Zevran" counted as 1 major quest line completed?



I am checking if the destruction of Lothering will be triggered by the time Zevran joins the group, and if the Redcliffe major plot still accessible.

[Marso40]

IIRC, Lothering is destroyed after you finish one of the four main quests, so by the time Zevran joins you it should be history. I think. I'm not sure what happens if you were to do the Urn quest first, get Zevran, but still have not secured any allies. It might be possible to have Zev and Lothering intact at the same time that way, but that would be about the only way I think it could be possible.

[jenovan]

Lothering was destroyed by the time I was done with the Urn quest, if that's of any help.  So yes, I had no allies yet, had Zevran, and Lothering was history.  I suppose getting the ashes counts as a significant-enough milestone, just as finishing the first part of the Redcliffe quest (theoretically before the Urn) also counts, at least for getting Zevran.

[ThessalyCousaland]

ooOoo I can't wait to reroll now! I haven't pursued the Zev romance yet, and from everything I've been reading on the forums, he seems great. But I didn't want to sacrifice my lockpick(Leliana) just to have him in my party. But it seems like if you can get him that much earlier, you can fit lockpicking into his spec without wrecking it. And I'm totally curious about what his Fade illusion might look like, in regards to the Mage Tower act. ooOoo I'm excited.

Sorry for the double post. Even more sorry for my silliness.

[hornacek]

I'm just leaving Lothering and I too want to get Zevran ASAP. So if I'm reading this thread correctly, I can go straight to Denerim, go to Genitivi's home, get the Urn quest, go to Haven and do everything there to find the Urn and get the ashes, then travel and see Zevran's cutscene, travel again and recruit Zevran, and then I can do any of the 4 main quests?



Will any part of the Redcliffe quest be missing since I've already gotten the ashes? Will everyone still say "maybe you should go find the urn" even if I already have the ashes in my inventory?

You can now download Charsen's ZevranASAP to get the assassin immediately after Lothering.  But if you want to play unmodded, you have to finish one of the quests.  So, completely finishing Redcliffe (which requires a bit of work) would do it.

yea they will ask you to go and you get the optioin then of saying "I have them on me right now" and voila, its cure time.

[YukonSoldier]

So, Completing any of the four quest will get me Zevran, I did the redcliff first and that was an interesting fight. I am thinking of going to the Dalvish first this time through cuz I got stuck trying to get back to Radcliff in a prior character. Has anyone gone that way yet?

[UpiH]

Completing any of the five. The Urn is a quest of it's own right in that regard.

Esjolin tipped me off a few weeks ago--visiting the Dalish first is the best route to go for maximum dialogue with him, unless you want to see his reaction to your suggesting to swiftrunner and the lady that you slaughter the Dalish elves.

And if you managed to save everyone at Redcliffe, got the Circle to help save Connor, and THEN already found the long-lost mythical religious curative...well it certainly cements your reputation as miracle-worker and I love just how shocked Teagan is since he didn't really believe in it in the first place and Isolde is even tolerable in that scene.

like Tellervo said, my mod will let you pick up Zevran right after Lothering, so you can run through Lothering grab him after the first Archdemon dream, then go back to Lothering and quest with him if you like. It also moves the cutscene and codex entries so they fit with that timeline.

Link in my sig -- either way you do it, have fun with Zev =)
