Dragon Age: Origins Hints
How can I get to the essence and back?
1 of 5: Shapeshift into a mouse and use the mouse hole that's near the north door.
2 of 5: Return to your normal form so you can run faster, then run east to find two more mouse holes.
3 of 5: Mouse your way through the east one to reach a room with an Essence of Cunning device.
4 of 5: Use it to gain a permanent +1 to your Cunning attribute, then mouse back through the hole.
5 of 5: Go back west and use the mouse hole to return to the starting room.
