Dragon Age: Origins Hints

Great Hall Floor

  • 1 of 6: Raid the locked chest in the starting room, then prepare for a large battle with undead in the common room to the west.
  • 2 of 6: Search the common room to find a Banastor scroll in some ancient texts, two charred corpses, an apprentice note, and a pile of books. (Ignore the three interactive statues along the west wall for now.)
  • 3 of 6: Loot the charred corpse and locked chest in the next room, then open the next door. Stay back and wait for abominations to come to you, then enter their room to find a couple of lesser rage demons to fight.
  • 4 of 6: Loot the abominations' remains to find two scraps of paper, then check their room for a soldier corpse before moving on to a curvy hallway with side rooms on the right.
  • 5 of 6: When you're done with the side rooms, open the door that leads to this floor's large central chamber and lure off the many undead in there a few at a time. (Note that the abomination is much tougher than the lesser abominations you've been encountering so far.)
  • 6 of 6: Search the central chamber to find a charred corpse, then finish the "Watchguard of the Reaching" quest before using the door that takes you to the Templar Quarters floor.
