Dragon Age: Origins Hints
Ruins Upper Level
1 of 10: Past the first door, turn left and go up to the arch-shaped brick wall to discover that it's a secret door.
2 of 10: Open it to find two skeletons to fight and a locked chest to loot. As you leave the secret room, two more skeletons will attack you.
3 of 10: Go down the steps and look on the left for a pile of bones before going down the big "root ramp."
4 of 10: Kill the two werewolves that attack you, then look around for rubble and a pile of filth to raid. There's another secret door in the south wall, past which you can loot two piles of bones.
5 of 10: Go through the west door to find a corridor intersection. Go north to find some lootable rubble, then go slowly west until a giant spider attacks.
6 of 10: Don't let it lead you west. When it runs off, enter one of the nearby side corridors to lure it to you. After it's dead, park your party in a side corridor and use the Lead-Them-Off Strategy to lure spiders in one or two at a time.
7 of 10: After they're all taken care of, search the north room at the next corridor intersection to find two piles of bones, a locked chest, and three lootable cocoons. The west room has another pile of bones, another locked chest, and another cocoon.
8 of 10: Take the south passage to reach a large room with a circular design in the middle. Prepare before you enter, since a small but powerful dragon will swoop down and attack you.
9 of 10: After the dragon is killed, have your rogue disarm the rest of the traps, then loot the knight corpse, soldier corpse, dwarf corpse, two locked chests, and "dragon hoard" pile.
10 of 10: Just past the hoard is a transition point that'll take you to the Lower Ruins area.
