Dragon Age: Origins Hints
REDCLIFFE: The Attack at Nightfall
1 of 9: Wait where you start for the first undead to run up to you, then start attacking them.
2 of 9: After they're down, stand and heal, then send one character partway up the hill to the north to lure down some more undead. (Watch out for the flaming barricades if you told Ser Perth about the general store's oil earlier.)
3 of 9: If you get overwhelmed, run over to where Dwyn and the knights will join in the combat.
4 of 9: Repeat the "send one character up the hill and lure enemies down" process until a messenger runs up and says the monsters are attacking from the lake.
5 of 9: Run down to the large barricaded area in the center of the village and immediately start attacking undead.
6 of 9: This is a massive attack, so be sure to use your healer and/or healing items to keep your characters and the militia alive all the way through it.
7 of 9: Wait in or near the barricade area until the undead stop coming, then check all around for any stragglers.
8 of 9: It'll take a long time for all of the undead to arrive, so be patient. After you get the last one, a cut-scene will conclude the quest.
9 of 9: NOTE: If you managed to keep all of the village defenders alive, you'll get the Helm of the Red as a special reward.
