Dragon Age: Origins Hints
Investigate the cave.
1 of 11: Enter the cave, then move forward to find a large hanging cocoon that you can loot.
2 of 11: In the room past that, kill the two giant spiders that appear, then look for loot in a pile of bones and a locked chest before going through the door to a hallway.
3 of 11: Go south to find a room with several giant spiders and a fiery trap near the entry door. Try to hold back and lure spiders to you so you can finish them off without triggering the trap.
4 of 11: Loot the cocoon in the SW corner of the room, then go through the north door to find some bones to loot (watch out for two fireball traps) and a door leading to the northern room.
5 of 11: It has more giant spiders to kill, plus another cocoon and some more bones to loot (and another flaming trap near its east exit).
6 of 11: Enter the western hallway and go down to where Tamlen notices an interesting statue.
7 of 11: Near it is a locked door with a poison trap near it. When you set the trap off, two powerful skeletons will rise and attack you.
8 of 11: That's a fairly tough fight, especially for rogues, so you may have to run back the way you came to gain time to use healing poultices to stay alive.
9 of 11: The door will then be unlocked, so open it to discover a chamber with a bereskarn in it. It's tough, but it should be easier to take down than the skeletons.
10 of 11: Search the rubble and sarcophagus in the chamber for items, then check out the huge mirror.
11 of 11: After a long cut-scene, you'll get your next objective.
