Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints
West Side Tips
1 of 10: After going down the winding path to the lower ground, go through the ruins' large archway, then make a U-turn to the right to find a rashvine, a deathroot, and an engraved statue.
2 of 10: Go west from there to find a rashvine and another engraved statue next to four old pillars.
3 of 10: Look for a lootable charred corpse near the corpse pile to the west of that, then go south to find an ancient sylvan. Kill it and loot it for ancient sylvanwood, which is needed for the "From the Living Wood" optional quest. (Note that none of the ancient sylvans will appear if you don't have that quest yet.)
4 of 10: Go farther south to find a blood lotus plant and an empty chest, then turn right (west) and enter a side area that's full of blight wolves.
5 of 10: Kill them all, then raid the darkspawn corpse that's at the north end of their area.
6 of 10: Go south from the empty chest to find another ancient sylvan to kill and loot for wood. (Note that this is the one you may have encountered on your way to the militia survivor earlier.)
7 of 10: Go back north to see if some more blight wolves will appear and try to surround you. They'll usually do this a ways directly north of the empty chest.
8 of 10: East of the makeshift lean-to that's marked on the map, look for a path leading south to an area with a madcap plant, a darkspawn corpse, and a lootable cocoon.
9 of 10: When you get near the darkspawn corpse, several giant spiders (including poisonous ones) will drop down all around you. You'll probably want to park your party a ways back before sending a single character in to trigger the ambush, especially since several more spiders will drop down as soon as the first group is killed.
10 of 10: Loot the darkspawn corpse and cocoon after the spiders are all dead, then go north and get up onto the higher ground on your right to find another ancient sylvan to kill and loot.
