Dragon Age: Origins Hints

Main Hall Combat Tips

  • 1 of 4: Switch your main character to a ranged weapon and select the entire party by using the left of the two buttons below the character portraits.
  • 2 of 4: Open the main hall's southern door and right-click on one of the nearest enemies to get everyone to start attacking him. When he goes down, immediately do the same to another enemy.
  • 3 of 4: With you and your mother standing in the doorway firing arrows while your dog and guard followers charge in for melee attacks, you should be able to clear out the center of the main hall fairly quickly.
  • 4 of 4: Go in and head east far enough to target the Howe mage that's near the eastern doors. You'll want to take him down before finishing off the last of the soldiers.
