Dragon Age: Origins Hints

Traps are a Girl's Best Friend

  • 1 of 5: Find Allison a short distance west of the river bridge and talk to her until you get this quest. If you've failed any pickpocket attempts in town, or don't have anyone with you who has the Trap-Making skill, she won't give you the quest. (NOTE: This entire quest is all stuck in under the one objective of "Craft traps for Allison," so these hints won't have an objective list.)
  • 2 of 5: See the Crafting section of the game manual if you need to know how to bring up the crafting screen.
  • 3 of 5: If you don't have anyone with the Trap-Making skill, you might want to give it to Leliana on her next level-up, then have her make three spring traps. (Other trap types might work, but those are probably the easiest to make three of.)
  • 4 of 5: If you can't or don't want to do that, you don't have to -- you can hand over spring traps that you've looted from containers or dead enemies.
  • 5 of 5: When you give Allison three traps, she'll give you 50 silver (which is way more than the traps are worth).
