Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints

MAIN PLOT: Depths of Depravity

  • 1 of 7: NOTE: This entire quest is all stuck in under the one objective of "Slay the Mother," so these hints won't have an objective list.
  • 2 of 7: If you saved the keep, look around the courtyard for dead bodies to loot (especially the armored ogre alpha and the Herald), then enter the throne room so you can grab anything you want from your personal storage chest and do some last-minute merchant and enchanting business with Yuriah and Ambassador Cera.
  • 3 of 7: If you saved Amaranthine, look around for dead bodies to loot, then check near the world map transition point for Glassric the Weaponsmith and an enchanter to do last-minute business with.
  • 4 of 7: In either case, your next destination is the new Lair of the Mother area on the world map.
  • 5 of 7: Before you can get to the Mother's nest, you'll have to pass through the Dragonbone Wastes and Drake's Fall areas.
  • 6 of 7: After you enter the Nest, move forward until the Mother talks to you about the Architect's many sins. After the conversation, she'll attack.
  • 7 of 7: After you kill the Mother, you'll get the final "what happens to everyone later" cut-scene.
