Dragon Age: Origins Hints

THE BLIGHT: Lothering and the Imperial Highway

  • 1 of 8: You get this quest when you first travel to Lothering from Flemeth's hut. (NOTE: This entire quest is all stuck in under the one objective of "Rest and re-supply," so these hints won't have an objective list.)
  • 2 of 8: The first thing you'll have to do when you arrive is the "Bandits on the Road" quest.
  • 3 of 8: After that's done, loot the bandits' two crates, plus the nearby dead templar to get the "A Fallen Templar" optional quest.
  • 4 of 8: Move on to where Alistair talks to you about what to do next, then start exploring Lothering. (Or skip that for now and come back after visiting your party camp.)
  • 5 of 8: When you're ready to leave, go to the NW corner of town, where there are some stairs leading up to another ruined road section.
  • 6 of 8: Get onto the road and kill off the hurlocks and genlocks that are menacing a couple of traders.
  • 7 of 8: After the traders talk to you briefly, look around for a crate to raid and a dead blood mage that you can loot to get a codex entry.
  • 8 of 8: Move on past the blood mage to complete this quest.
