Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints
The Prisoner
1 of 6: You'll get this quest when you first exit the keep's throne room. (NOTE: This entire quest is all stuck in under the one objective of "Speak to the prisoner," so these hints won't have an objective list.)
2 of 6: In the keep's courtyard, use the door that's SW of the throne room transition point to enter the dungeon.
3 of 6: Raid the supplies box, then loot the "prisoner's effects" chest.
4 of 6: Talk to the cell guard and tell him to leave you to talk with the prisoner, then open the cell door and talk to Nathaniel.
5 of 6: Use the "I've decided what to do with you" dialogue option when it comes up, then say you want to invoke the Right of Conscription.
6 of 6: That'll get Nathaniel made into a Grey Warden, which allows him to be a rogue companion. (Don't forget to equip him with the items you got from the "prisoner's effects" chest.)
