Dragon Age: Origins Hints

First Floor Optionals

  • 1 of 6: First, go to the south end of the hallway to find a door to a room with a vase and a couple of templars you shouldn't talk to due to possible dialogue glitches.
  • 2 of 6: Next, check the apprentice dorm room north of yours to find that it has a chest and a vanity to raid.
  • 3 of 6: The north central room has a cabinet and a door that leads to the basement. (There's nothing you can get there yet, so skip it for now.)
  • 4 of 6: Check the shelves that are in the passage that leads to the classrooms, then go through the first bookcase-walled classroom to reach the second one.
  • 5 of 6: Check the shelves near where you enter for a book you can read for a codex entry.
  • 6 of 6: Go through the third classroom and into the central circular room, where you'll find another codex-entry book on the shelves.
