Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints
What can I do at the shrine?
1 of 6: Start by looting the darkspawn corpse to get the Golden Idol of Korth.
2 of 6: Read the old book for a codex entry and loot the urn for the Key of Korth (used elsewhere), then check out the altar.
3 of 6: Right-click on the altar's "offering" hotspot to get a choice of what to do.
4 of 6: You can take the offering in order to get 15 gold coins and a fight with the two nearby steel golems.
5 of 6: If you have a diamond in your inventory, you can add it to the offering to get 500 XP and the magic axe Frenzy. (Note that you could buy an identical axe from Glassric the Weaponsmith in Amaranthine for 12 gold and 30 silver.)
6 of 6: If you add the Golden Idol of Korth to the offering, you'll get the same thing as if you'd added in a diamond. (Note that the idol sells for way more than a diamond would, so it's best to use a diamond.)
