Dragon Age: Origins Hints

Optionals Tips

  • 1 of 9: Change into spirit form so you can use the nearby Essence of Willpower item.
  • 2 of 9: Go through the SE door and down a corridor to reach a room with a few flaming darkspawn to fight for extra combat XP.
  • 3 of 9: Go back to the templar spirit's room and use the Fade pedestal to travel to the Weisshaupt Fortress area.
  • 4 of 9: Go over to the big ramp, then switch to spirit form so you can use the Essence of Willpower that's next to it.
  • 5 of 9: Use the Fade pedestal past the ramp to go to the Raw Fade area, then go through the Fade portal.
  • 6 of 9: Use the mouse hole and the next Fade portal to reach an area with a spirit door.
  • 7 of 9: Change to spirit form so you can use the spirit door to get to an area with two wisps to kill and an Essence of Dexterity.
  • 8 of 9: When you're done there, go back through the spirit door and use the Fade portal at the end of the path to return to Niall's area.
  • 9 of 9: NOTE: There's another spirit door near Niall, but it leads to one of the major demon fights. You could do it now, but these hints will assume you wait until later on.
