This guide will walk you through the “Missing in Action” quest in Dragon Age: Origins. We will go through all the steps to complete this mission.

Background

You’ll receive this quest from the chanter’s board in the Denerim Market District.

Missing in Action

For this quest you’ll need to track down Rexel, a veteran of the Ostagar campaign, who went missing from his house one day, and who hasn’t been seen since. You’ll find Rexel in the dungeon of the Arl of Denerim’s Estate, which you won’t be able to reach until late in the campaign.

When you talk to Rexel, you’ll discover that he’s insane, and you’ll get a choice to free him or kill him. If you kill him then you’ll fail the quest, and you won’t get a reward. If you free him, then he’ll somehow escape from the estate, and when you visit any of the chanter’s board representatives (in Redcliffe or the Denerim Market District), you’ll receive 2 sovereigns and 175 xp.
