Fire On the Sands - Taash Feeding the Birds

Decision
Taash: Stupid birds.
Choice Consequence

This is an unexpected side of you. Does not affect approval.
Let me help. Does not affect approval.

The quest starts with a shot of Taash feeding the birds, and Rook approaching from behind. A conversation will ensue between Taash and Rook with an opportunity to flirt with them.

Follow Taash

Accompany Taash as they travel along the coast, looking for birds to feed. Once the interact prompt appears, be careful not to scare the birds away as it will lower their approval. Continue along and feed the birds along the way.

After feeding the last group of birds, follow Taash and discover a set of Antaam banners. Use the Ability Wheel and command Taash to use their fire breath to burn down the banners. Head upwards and breach the Antaam cache by using Taash's ability to melt the blockade.

Proceed down to meet Karash, another Qunari on the care of Taash. A dialogue prompt will appear, and players may choose to encourage Taash by highlighting on the benefits of having a multicultural background, or discourage them by focusing the struggles. A unique exchange in the background between Rook and Taash will occur depending on the choice made.

Follow Taash

Fire On the Sands - Taash Speaking to Mother

Following Taash will eventually lead to an encounter with their mother. Shathann will give small details about Taash when they were younger, and will embarrass Taash in front of Rook. A dialogue prompt will occur that gives the player an opportunity to flirt with Taash.

Once the conversation is over, you'll complete this quest and Strong Arm armor for Taash.

Taash: Sorry. She's like that.

You're fun to be around.
