How to Persuade Alistair to Become King in "Dragon Age: Origins"?
- 1). Travel to the Landsmeet. To enter the Landsmeet, you must have completed the "Landsmeet" quest line, the primary quest line involving Arl Eamon and Queen Anora. The Landsmeet takes place in the Royal Palace in the eastern part of Denerim. Entering the Landsmeet triggers a long cut scene in which your character attempts to gain the support of the noble class against Loghain. After the cut scene, your party will fight Loghain.
- 2). Defeat Loghain. Loghain is a heavily-armored melee fighter that uses a sword and shield. Have your mage cast "Cone of Cold" to immobilize him, and watch out for his "Shield Bash" and "War Cry" attacks, which will knock you down.
- 3). Decide Loghain's fate. There are three possible actions: spare Loghain and allow him to join your party, kill him or have Alistair kill him. If you allow Alistair to kill Loghain, Queen Anora will refuse to take him as her king and you will have to choose between them.
- 4). Choose a new ruler. When you are prompted to select a new ruler, select Alistair as the king or allow Anora and Alistair to rule together as king and queen. The second option is available only if you speak to Alistair and Anora separately and persuade them to accept this arrangement before entering the Landsmeet.
