Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints

The Wraith's Vengeance

  • 1 of 9: You'll get this quest after chasing off the Dark Theurge wraith while working on the "It Comes From Beneath" quest's third objective. (NOTE: This entire quest is all stuck in under the one objective of "Find and destroy the wraith," so these hints won't have an objective list.)
  • 2 of 9: Keep moving through the Deep Roads until you find and kill the massive ogre commander.
  • 3 of 9: After you do, the Dark Theurge will reanimate it and make you fight it all over again.
  • 4 of 9: Finish the "It Comes From Beneath" quest, then return to the basement using the door that Sergeant Maverlies is always standing next to in the keep's courtyard.
  • 5 of 9: Go back to the Avvar crypt that's west of the dungeon area. If you thoroughly looted the Deep Roads area, you'll have the keys needed to unlock the three remaining locks on the crypt's west wall.
  • 6 of 9: As soon as you unlock the last lock, the west door will open, and the Dark Theurge will shove past you and enter the deep crypt room.
  • 7 of 9: Park your party back in the dungeon room (or maybe a ways on back from it), then send one character into the deep crypt.
  • 8 of 9: Move him into the area between the four posts with torches on them to get three Avvar lords to appear, then run him back to the party to hopefully leave at least one of them behind.
  • 9 of 9: Killing all three of the Avvar lords will destroy the Dark Theurge and complete the quest. Don't neglect to search the lords' remains and the three sarcos they came out of for loot. (Also examine the two statues near the sarcos for codex entries.)
