Dragon Age: Origins Hints

What if I don't put the uniform on?

  • 1 of 13: Go east down the hallway to find three closed doors.
  • 2 of 13: Open the south one and kill the single guard in the room, then loot the wooden crate that's near him.
  • 3 of 13: Go through the east door and kill the two guards in the storage room, then loot the barrel and three wooden crates.
  • 4 of 13: The north room has a tougher battle with the colonel and his two guards.
  • 5 of 13: Loot the colonel to get the key to the front hall door, then check his office for a locked chest.
  • 6 of 13: Go back west down the hall and open the north door to find four more guards to fight.
  • 7 of 13: Loot the wooden crate in their room, then go through its north door.
  • 8 of 13: As soon as you open the next door, run all the way back to the colonel's office. Hopefully, only Sergeant Tanna and maybe one other guard will follow you all the way there.
  • 9 of 13: Go back and lure off more soldiers until the main hall is clear, then go through its north door and kill off the captain in his east-side office.
  • 10 of 13: Raid his locked chest if you can, then go north to the entry room and fight the last bunch of guards. Any companions you have a high approval rating with will be there to help you.
  • 11 of 13: Check the west side room for a locked chest. (If you're not a rogue and one of your companions is, have him unlock that chest plus any others you had to skip earlier.)
  • 12 of 13: When you're ready to go, use the entry room's north door to bring up the city map.
  • 13 of 13: Travel to any other area in Denerim to complete your escape.
