Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints

What can I do with this big stone design thing?

  • 1 of 8: Looking it over with the "Highlight objects" key pressed, you'll see that it has a "missing stone" hotspot.
  • 2 of 8: Park your party outside of the stone design, then send one character in to right-click on the missing stone.
  • 3 of 8: That'll place the stone you got from the dead scholar. Right-click on it to get the puzzle started.
  • 4 of 8: Notice that three other stones are now lit up and fiery. They're also interactive, so pick one and right-click on it.
  • 5 of 8: That'll change which stones are activated. Try right-clicking on another one.
  • 6 of 8: Your goal is to get all of the stones lit. Since lighting some stones will de-light others, you'll need to figure out a stone-using sequence that'll end up with them all being lit.
  • 7 of 8: Either experiment with the puzzle until you figure out how to do it, or read on for one possible solution.
  • 8 of 8: This solution has you use all of the inner circle's stones first, then the middle circle's, and then the outer circle's. See the graphic below for a visual of this solution. (Note that the last one you press, #20, is the missing stone you used to activate the puzzle.)
