Dragon Age: Origins Hints

The Burning Tower

  • 1 of 11: Use the starting room's mouse hole to get to an Essence of Cunning, then go back and enter the curvy corridor.
  • 2 of 11: Open the first right-side room's door, then wait there as two burning templars come after you.
  • 3 of 11: TIP: Shapeshift into spirit form if you have it when fighting burning templars so you can use Crushing Prison and Winter's Grasp on them.
  • 4 of 11: Move down the corridor to find a door blocked by flames.
  • 5 of 11: Go through the door at the top of the stairs in the burning templars' room to reach another area.
  • 6 of 11: Turn right at the first flaming barrier and approach another one to get a couple of burning hounds to run through it and attack.
  • 7 of 11: Turn left at that barrier and move north to where more burning enemies will cross a barrier to attack you.
  • 8 of 11: Go east to find more enemies and more barriers.
  • 9 of 11: As soon as you enter the room with the dreaming templar and his burning demon, shapeshift into something else so you can fight them.
  • 10 of 11: After finishing the combat, you'll get the burning man form added to your shapeshifting repertoire.
  • 11 of 11: Before you move on to the Mages Asunder, take the time to go after two essences in this area.
