Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints

Architect's Lab Tips

  • 1 of 5: Go to the NW corner of the holding cells area to find some stairs that lead up to the Architect's lab.
  • 2 of 5: Look around the lab's main floor for some books and a locked chest to loot, plus some experimental notes and a journal page to read for codex entries.
  • 3 of 5: Get up on the raised platform and use the two experimental control levers to rid the room below of the toxic green gas.
  • 4 of 5: After the gas is gone, leave the lab and enter the cell that had a magical barrier over its back door earlier.
  • 5 of 5: You can now open that door and loot the chest in the de-gassed room beyond to get two great artifact items.
