Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints

General and Ogre Combat Tips

  • 1 of 6: When you exit the cove, you'll be in a small abandoned house. Have everyone hold their positions there, then send one character out the door so the general will see him, then run him right back in.
  • 2 of 6: That should draw in the general, and you can focus everyone's attacks on him until he's dead without the armored ogre alpha making an appearance.
  • 3 of 6: Loot the general, stand and heal, then quicksave. You're going to have to deal with the armored ogre next.
  • 4 of 6: The first thing to try is getting him stuck in the abandoned house's doorway. Have everyone hold their positions in the house against the wall opposite the doorway, then send one character out to lure the ogre in.
  • 5 of 6: He should get stuck in the doorway and be unable to attack anyone if they all stay back and use ranged attacks on him.
  • 6 of 6: If that doesn't work for you, you can try using the nearby ballista to damage the ogre.
