Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints

How can I solve the runestone puzzle?

  • 1 of 5: Look at the runestones to see that they each have a symbol on them.
  • 2 of 5: Also look on the pillar next to each runestone to see a different symbol.
  • 3 of 5: What you need to do is right-click on a runestone to activate it, then activate whichever other runestone has the pillar's symbol on it.
  • 4 of 5: For instance, activate the NE runestone, then check the NW runestone to see it has the same symbol on it as the NE runestone's pillar. Activate the NW runestone to cause the NE runestone to have the same symbol as its pillar.
  • 5 of 5: Keep that up until all the runestones match their pillars, after which you'll be able to loot the sarcophagus in the middle of the room.
