Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints

Destroyed Village Tips

  • 1 of 6: Stand where you are (or retreat to the west) after examining the darkspawn corpse, since several blighted werewolves will run to attack you.
  • 2 of 6: After they stop coming, go east to a mansion's closed front gate, then go north to find a few more blighted werewolves.
  • 3 of 6: Wait until they stop running in through the village's northern exit, then look near the NW corner for a mabari corpse with catgut of all things on it. (It's needed for the Vigil's Keep optional quest "Heart of the Forest.")
  • 4 of 6: Just SW of the mabari corpse is a hidden clue among some barrels. It has to do with the "The Trail of Love" optional quest.
  • 5 of 6: East of the hidden clue is an ancient letter hidden among some crates that you can take to get the "The Burden of Guilt" optional quest.
  • 6 of 6: Look in the ruined house north of the crates for a chest, then look east of that for some town records (codex entry), a toy horse (gift item), and a madcap plant.
