Dragon Age: Origins Hints

The Mage's Treasure

  • 1 of 11: To get this quest, go to the ogre-inhabited ruins at the north end of the East Brecilian Forest area and choose to disturb the wards on the gravestone. (NOTE: This entire quest is all stuck in under the one objective of "Find the mage's treasure," so these hints won't have an objective list.)
  • 2 of 11: Disturbing the wards causes a powerful revenant and several skeletons to appear and attack you.
  • 3 of 11: Quickly run everyone down the east path to the hermit's camp to leave some of the undead behind, hopefully including the revenant.
  • 4 of 11: After the battle is over, search the revenant to find Juggernaut Plate Boots.
  • 5 of 11: Return to the ogre's higher-ground area in the West Brecilian Forest and disturb the gravestone there to start another tough combat with a revenant and several skeletons. Search that revenant to find the Juggernaut Helm.
  • 6 of 11: After you pass through the East Brecilian Forest's magical barrier and fight Swiftrunner again, look in the nearby ruins for a gravestone.
  • 7 of 11: Disturb it to get a combat with another revenant and his skeletal horde. This one has the Juggernaut Plate Gloves.
  • 8 of 11: Before you can get the final piece, you'll have to finish the "The Elven Ritual" quest.
  • 9 of 11: After it's done, enter the room past the ritual-opened door. Loot the two sarcophagi near the room's entrance, then go along either side of the room to get to where you can fight a couple of skeleton archers.
  • 10 of 11: Loot the sarcophagus near them, then go up the stairs until a shade talks to you. No matter what you say, the shade will turn hostile and summon two greater shades to help fight you.
  • 11 of 11: After you finish them off, raid the pile of bones on the shade's platform, then check the Elven Burial Chamber to find the Juggernaut Plate Armor.
