Dragon Age: Origins Hints
Save Redcliffe.
1 of 8: Go a bit farther east to find some darkspawn to thrash near the entrance to the castle.
2 of 8: After they're down, you could immediately go to the castle, but it's better to clear out the entire village area first.
3 of 8: Use the castle entrance to get to the castle courtyard, then start smacking the horde of darkspawn gathered there.
4 of 8: After you finish off the starting bunch, watch for more to run in from the village, including a massive ogre alpha.
5 of 8: TIP: Stay near the top of the steps and lure darkspawn to you, then move back when the ogre alpha shows up so he'll focus on the Redcliffe soldiers at first, allowing you to get in lots of ranged attacks.
6 of 8: After you kill the ogre, wait for a messenger to talk to you.
7 of 8: You can tell him that you need to prepare in order to get your very last opportunity to travel elsewhere and do other things. You'll probably want to do so, if only to loot the ogre alpha and check Bodahn's store at the party camp one last time. (He'll be in the castle, but will have a completely different inventory.)
8 of 8: When you're ready to commit to finishing the game, talk to the messenger and have him take you into the castle.
