Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints

Investigate the Wending Wood.

  • 1 of 8: Travel to the new Wending Wood area to get the "Trading Trouble" quest, then move along the path until you encounter a bandit and his scavenger buddies.
  • 2 of 8: Follow the path east from there to find a few scavengers attacking a charred sylvan near a camp. Stay back and use ranged attacks on them as they fight each other, then go east from the camp to find more scavengers and sylvans.
  • 3 of 8: Continue fighting your way east until you find a bridge you can use to enter the northern section of the woods. Before crossing it, scour the south section for optionals.
  • 4 of 8: Cross the bridge to get a cut-scene involving Velanna, then follow the path north, fighting bandits as you encounter them.
  • 5 of 8: After a combat involving bandits and sylvans, turn north to find the locked door to the Silverite Mine.
  • 6 of 8: You can't enter the mine yet, so use the winding path just west of the mine's door to reach the lower ground.
  • 7 of 8: Head SW and fight a couple of charred sylvans, then keep going SW to find a militia survivor (and possibly an ancient sylvan along the way).
  • 8 of 8: Talk to the survivor about what happened, then put him out of his misery when he asks you to.
