Dragon Age: Origins Hints
Pre-Main-Hall Optionals
1 of 9: Go to the north end of the N/S hallway and check the large western room for more enemies and a locked chest.
2 of 9: Fight your way to the south end of the hallway, then watch for several more enemies to run at you from the east.
3 of 9: Loot the rubble near the library door, then look in the library for a pile of books. There's also a locked chest in the study.
4 of 9: Go down the south side corridor east of the library to find a locked guard post door. Trying to open it will get you the "The Cousland Treasury" quest if you didn't already get it while talking to your mother.
5 of 9: Equip some of the treasury items, then leave the guard post cautiously, ready for another large Howe soldier attack.
6 of 9: Go east down the main hallway to reach the main hall's southern door, but don't open it yet. Raid the rubble next to it, then check the room to the south for a knight corpse to loot.
7 of 9: Continue east until you can turn south and find the chapel.
8 of 9: Charge and kill all of the Howe soldiers in the chapel, keeping as many of the chapel guards alive as you can. After the battle, they'll join you.
9 of 9: Head back to the main hall's southern door, watching for more enemies along the way.
