Dragon Age: Origins Hints

Go to the Landsmeet.

  • 1 of 8: Exit the estate and travel to the Royal Palace.
  • 2 of 8: If you didn't kill Ser Cauthrien before, you'll meet her upon entering the palace. If you can't talk her out of a fight, you'll have to kill her and her men now.
  • 3 of 8: Open the east doors in the entry chamber to get the Landsmeet going.
  • 4 of 8: It'll start with a conversation cut-scene in which you attempt to use your persuasive powers and the evidence you've gathered to turn people against Loghain.
  • 5 of 8: If you win the Landsmeet, you can choose to have a large battle between your supporters and Loghain's or a simple one-on-one duel between yourself (or your champion) and Loghain. If you choose the large battle, Alistair (or his champion) will have to duel Loghain when it's over.
  • 6 of 8: NOTE: Failing to win the Landsmeet just means that you can't avoid doing the large-scale battle before the one-on-one duel.
  • 7 of 8: After that's over, you get to choose whether to execute Loghain or let him undergo the ritual to join the Grey Wardens. He's a powerful warrior, but letting him live will cause Alistair to leave you for good. You've had a lot of time to customize Alistair, so you'll probably want to keep him.
  • 8 of 8: Either way, you'll move on to Part 5 of the game, where you'll finally get to track down and destroy the archdemon.
