Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints

Cost of Doing Business

  • 1 of 4: Talk to Voldrik Glavonak in the keep's courtyard to get this quest. (NOTE: This entire quest is all stuck in under the one objective of "Raise money for Voldrik," so these hints won't have an objective list.)
  • 2 of 4: In order to upgrade the keep's walls, you're going to have to give Voldrik 80 gold coins.
  • 3 of 4: Talk to him and hand over the money when you've got enough to spare.
  • 4 of 4: NOTE: If you'd rather save your gold for buying super-expensive magic items from merchants, there's no real harm in doing so. Finishing this quest and "What is Built Endures" just makes the keep walls stronger for the siege in Part 3. If you don't strengthen the walls, you can choose to defend Amaranthine in Part 3 to get easier combats. Or you can still defend the keep pretty well if you've done all of the other keep improvement quests. (You'll just have to put up with more ogres.)
