Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints
How can I get to the east side of the commons?
1 of 9: Direct access to the east side has been blocked off by painful spiky barriers, so you'll have to take a detour.
2 of 9: Head south into the slums area, then turn west to find an open room with two piles of bones and some lootable scrolls in it.
3 of 9: SE of that, three corrupted spiders will drop down and attack you. After you kill them, go through the NE door to find a codex-giving note.
4 of 9: Check past the western of the two south doors for a locked chest, then park your party there and send one character up to the eastern south door to lure in a disciple scout and his minions.
5 of 9: After they're dead, use your lure character to draw in the genlock emissaries and alpha that are either in the disciple scout's room or just north of its eastern doorway.
6 of 9: Once that room is clear, check its southern section for lootable scrolls and a codex-giving moldy journal.
7 of 9: Head north until you find an east-side room with a lyrium-infused skeleton and a locked crate in it. Take the lyrium sand from the skeleton for the Vigil's Keep optional quest "Bombs Away."
8 of 9: Just NW of that, several more corrupted spiders will drop down. After finishing them off, check the east-side room for a codex-giving wall carving and a chest.
9 of 9: North of that is the exit to the east side of the commons area.
