Dragon Age: Origins Hints
Second Floor Tips
1 of 8: Check the big circular room for a locked chest and a wooden crate, then approach its SE exit cautiously.
2 of 8: When you go far enough forward, doors on either side will open and you'll be ambushed by darkspawn. You might want to do the old Lead-Them-Off Strategy to avoid getting pounded too badly.
3 of 8: Check the ambushers' two side rooms for wooden crates, then go through the northern side room's other door.
4 of 8: Look along the east wall for a discarded book (codex entry) and a locked chest, then run south to find two ballista ready to fire on the darkspawn who are ahead.
5 of 8: Have one character run back and forth between the two ballista, firing them one right after the other in rapid succession, while everyone else handles any darkspawn who close to melee range.
6 of 8: When your companions start running south into the ballistas' range, you'll probably want to stop firing them and charge to the attack. There shouldn't be very many darkspawn left to finish off.
7 of 8: North of that group is a door leading to a room with several more darkspawn. The lead-them-off strategy doesn't work so well with them, so just charge in and have at them.
8 of 8: Check their room for a locked chest and a wooden crate, then go through the door to the third floor.
