Dragon Age: Origins Hints
Side Rooms Tips
1 of 9: Search the blood mages' room to find a pile of books, a locked chest, ancient texts that include a Scroll of Banastor, and an apprentice note to read. You'll also find Bel's cache if you looted the dead blood mage that's on the road at the NW corner of Lothering.
2 of 9: Just past the blood mages' barrier doorway, open the right door to find a room with two hunger abominations, a charred corpse, a locked chest, and a pile of books in it.
3 of 9: When you approach the next door, it'll open and several shambling corpses will attack. Kill them off, then search their room to find two rage abominations, a locked chest, an armoire, a vanity, and a closet that's involved in the Orzammar optional quest "Precious Metals."
4 of 9: Enter the next room and help the two blood mages and ranked abomination kill each other off, then search the mages to find a magic belt. There's also a locked chest and pile of books to loot, plus an apprentice note to read.
5 of 9: The next room has two rage abominations and a lesser rage demon in it, plus a pile of scrolls and an armoire to loot. There's also a big metal door that you can't ever open.
6 of 9: The following room has a soldier corpse, a charred corpse, and a toppled statue.
7 of 9: Examine the statue and choose to take the vial in order to get a powerful revenant to attack. Kill him and loot him to get a codex update.
8 of 9: The next room is First Enchanter Irving's office. Loot the two chests (one locked) and cabinet, then check the desk to find a small painted box that's involved in Denerim's "Friends of Red Jenny" optional quest.
9 of 9: You can get codex entries from a bookcase, a scrap of paper, and the enchanter's journal that's on the desk.
