Dragon Age: Origins Hints
Western Section Tips
1 of 6: Go a short distance north to find a path split with an elfroot plant growing next to it.
2 of 6: Take the east path and harvest another elfroot plant, then move forward slowly. Several wolves (regular, blight, and were) will appear on the path ahead and come after you a few at a time.
3 of 6: After they're all down, look to the east to find two deathroot plants next to a large log that spans the river (note that you can't cross here), then go south to find a narrow trail leading down to a lootable skeleton and an elfroot plant.
4 of 6: Go NW and look for a deathroot plant next to the big pond, then return to the path split and take the northern path this time.
5 of 6: Harvest the two elfroot plants near the small wooden bridge, then keep going until you find a small side area with a great bear. Kill the bear, then loot the corpse.
6 of 6: Loot the Andraste's Grace flower that's on the path just past the side area to find a gift item, then move on to a small island with three wooden bridges on it. That's the river's crossing point, and your only way to access the rest of the West Brecilian Forest area.
