Dragon Age: Origins Hints

Hunt down the demons.

  • 1 of 9: Use the Essence of Cunning in Vereveel's room, then use the Fade pedestal to bring up the Fade's world map.
  • 2 of 9: The next thing to do is visit the three "A Nightmare" areas and free your trapped companions. However, you can't do that until you find three special Fade pedestals in areas you've already visited.
  • 3 of 9: See below for the hints on finding all three pedestals.
  • 4 of 9: After you find all three of those pedestals, all of the "A Nightmare" areas will be accessible.
  • 5 of 9: Next, return to the Raw Fade area and change into spirit form so you can use the spirit door that's near Niall.
  • 6 of 9: Immediately use Crushing Prison on Yevena, then switch to golem form and run over to her so you can use golem powers to finish her off quickly. Her shadow companions should be killed in the process.
  • 7 of 9: Examine the twisted structure to the south for a codex entry, then switch back to spirit form so you can use the Essence of Willpower and go back through the spirit door.
  • 8 of 9: Use the Fade pedestal to travel to the Inner Sanctum area, then go over and talk to the sloth demon to start a fight with it.
  • 9 of 9: After the combat is over, you'll talk to Niall one last time before exiting the Fade and returning to the Circle Tower.
