A Warden's Best Friend Overview

A Warden's Best Friend Objectives

Finish 'In Peace, Vigilance'

To start 'A Warden's Best Friend', you must first finish a short intermission quest to elicit the help of the Grey Wardens. This is mostly a conversation mission, so simply pick the dialogue that best matches your playstyle.

Meet Harding's Warden Contact

After speaking to the Grey Wardens earlier, you'll head back to The Lighthouse and talk with Varric and Lace Harding. Harding then mentions that you might find an ally in the wardens through someone she knows.

Travel to the High Anderfels using the Eluvian in the Crossroads in the Heights of Athim. Shortly after arriving, you will meet Warden Davrin after speaking with 2 NPCs.

Find Missing Warden

Davrin will ask for your help to locate missing wardens. Assan, the Griffon will lead you around the Grey Warden Camp. Navigate the stronghold and defeat the Darkspawn enemies you encounter, until you reach a path blocked by a large Blight Boil.

Confront The Gloom Howler

Defeat The Frenzied Ogre

Clear the path and head inwards to confront the Gloom Howler, whom Davrin wants to cutdown as vengeance for his fallen warden comrades. You'll have to defeat some elite Darkspawn enemies, before having to take down a Frenzied Ogre to save the Griffons.

Confront The Gloom Howler

Upon reaching the Howler, you are met with a decision instead of a boss fight. You don't really get to fight regardless of your choice, but it may affect Davrin's approval.
