Dragon Age: Origins Hints
Defend the Alienage.
1 of 4: Run down to the south gate to get the "army picker" display to pop up, then choose to deploy an army in the area to help you. (It's best to choose a good melee army, like the dwarves or Redcliffe soldiers.)
2 of 4: Cast some area-of-effect spells like Tempest and Blizzard at the ogre who's bashing on the gate, then run your party a ways back along the path to keep them out of harm's way until the ogre and the first batch of darkspawn are dead.
3 of 4: Move up to where you can support your chosen army with ranged attacks, but be sure to stay back as far as you can. This is a much tougher battle than the one in the Market District.
4 of 4: After the general and his troops are all down, watch for several more large groups of enemies to appear on the bridge south of the gate. Fortunately, most of those groups won't have an ogre with them.
