Dragon Age: Origins Hints
How can I get her cell open?
1 of 11: You'll need to find and kill the wizard who created the door's enchantment.
2 of 11: Go down the hallway and check the north room for a codex-giving book, then go east through a dining room to reach another hallway.
3 of 11: WARNING: Don't open that hall's first north door, or a guard will sound the alarm.
4 of 11: Have your rogue unlock the south door at the east end of the hall so you can loot three treasure piles, a chest, and a vase.
5 of 11: Go through the hall's north door, then check the arl's bedroom for a codex-giving book and a chest that contains special Grey Warden documents.
6 of 11: Open the door west of the bedroom to get a conversation with a fellow Grey Warden named Riordan.
7 of 11: After asking him where Howe is, ask him about the papers you found.
8 of 11: After he leaves, use the nearby area transition doorway to enter the dungeon.
9 of 11: When you open the first door, a guard will talk to you. No matter what you say, he and the other guards will attack. (Note that your disguises will be automatically replaced with your regular armor.)
10 of 11: Back up a bit to fight the guards, then continue on through the dungeon until you find and grind Arl Howe.
