Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints

How can I get through this "Blackmarsh Undying" Fade area?

  • 1 of 9: After talking to the "First" guy and fighting some genlocks and grubs, move down the path until shades start attacking you at a path split.
  • 2 of 9: Go south from the path split to find more shades to fight and loot, then go north to find an Essence of Constitution and three desire demons to fight.
  • 3 of 9: West of that path split is another one. Go NW for some optional stuff, then go south to find an Essence of Strength.
  • 4 of 9: Go SW from the Essence of Strength to find the third and final demon-guarded veil apparatus. There's also an Essence of Magic near the apparatus.
  • 5 of 9: Move on down the path from there to find several rage demons to fight, plus a nearby Essence of Dexterity. When you're through with that, look for a way to enter the village.
  • 6 of 9: Move forward and talk to the village watch guy, then go to the west side of the village to find an Essence of Strength and a codex-giving book. Avoid the crowd by the mansion's gate long enough to find Essences of Dexterity and Willpower in the north part of the village.
  • 7 of 9: Approach the mansion gate and talk to the spirit of Justice about helping him defeat the evil baroness. You can either agree to help him or make a deal with the baroness.
  • 8 of 9: Whether you side with Justice or the baroness, you'll be stuck fighting the First and a bunch of other hostiles inside the mansion's courtyard.
  • 9 of 9: When the battle is over, the baroness will use the First's life essence to open a portal to reality, and your party will automatically follow her through.
