Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Hints
What can I do with the runestones?
1 of 11: You need to activate the six runestones in a specific order.
2 of 11: Try activating each of them to see what happens.
3 of 11: When you activate one, its base wil flame briefly, and that's all.
4 of 11: Keep activating stones until one does something other than just flaming briefly and going out.
5 of 11: There's one that'll keep its flame lit and extend a fiery line toward the central pedestal.
6 of 11: Click on another runestone to see if it'll do the same thing, or if it'll cause the first one to extinguish its fire.
7 of 11: If it extinguishes the first one, then it's not the next runestone in the sequence. Activate the first one again, then try a different one.
8 of 11: Keep it up until you figure out the entire sequence, or read on for the answer.
9 of 11: Using compass directions to label the stones, you need to activate them in this order: SW, NE, SE, NW, N, S.
10 of 11: When you finish the sequence, rage demons will start appearing. Kill each one off as fast as you can to keep them from piling up on you. (Don't forget to use your ethereal health poultices and stamina draughts when needed.)
11 of 11: After all the rage demons have been killed, the central pedestal will be interactive. Right-click on it to do something that'll let you get a unique item after you exit the Fade later on.
