Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints

MAIN PLOT: The Awakening

  • 1 of 4: NOTE: This entire quest is all stuck in under the one objective of "Battle the darkspawn army," so these hints won't have an objective list.
  • 2 of 4: Choose three companions to go to Amaranthine with you, then start hacking on the nearest darkspawn when you arrive.
  • 3 of 4: After they're all dead, wait for a cut-scene to start up in which you have to decide whether to save Amaranthine or Vigil's Keep. There's no way to save both.
  • 4 of 4: If you choose to defend the keep, you'll get the "The Siege of Vigil's Keep" quest. Otherwise, you'll get the "The Assault on Amaranthine" quest.
