Dragon Age: Origins Hints

Combat and Loot Tips

  • 1 of 11: Look around the large cave you found Lord Dace in to find a broken chest, two locked chests, and two fractured stones.
  • 2 of 11: Loot the wooden crate that's next to the curvy stone bridge south of the cave, then cross the bridge to find some deep stalkers to fight.
  • 3 of 11: Raid the locked chest in their area, then head east to find a couple more deep stalkers.
  • 4 of 11: The cave just past them has a large deep stalker ambush in it. They'll appear all around you after you move far enough into the cave.
  • 5 of 11: Loot the fractured stone in their cave, then move on past it to eventually reach a spot where deep stalkers attack from the east and the south. (Try to lure them out a few at a time.)
  • 6 of 11: Check the south stalker area for a fractured stone, then go down the east passage to reach a spot where stalkers attack from three different directions.
  • 7 of 11: Loot the fractured stone in the east side cave, then head south to find a big cave with a large deep stalker ambush that includes a leader.
  • 8 of 11: Raid the two locked chests and the fractured stone in their cave, then go back north to the path split.
  • 9 of 11: Go north from there to reach a dead end. Look past the rubble to see a large group of darkpawn, then try getting your mage to cast an area-of-effect spell (like Tempest) at them to get in some free damage.
  • 10 of 11: They'll start on the long trip around to where you are, so wait for them to get close, then cast another area-of-effect spell on the path they must take to get to you.
  • 11 of 11: After they're all down, go around to their cave to find a fractured stone, a broken crate, a locked chest, and maybe a leftover genlock or two.
