Dragon Age: Origins Hints
East Optional Tunnel Tips
1 of 8: Go along the tunnel until you reach a cave, then kill off all the darkspawn in it.
2 of 8: Loot the small bloody sack to get a torso in a bag and a codex update. If this is the third small bloody sack you've raided, you'll also get the "Asunder" quest, which will be finished in the Ortan Thaig area.
3 of 8: Go down the next tunnel to reach a deep stalker cave.
4 of 8: Move into it slowly so you can take down a few stalkers before triggering a big ambush.
5 of 8: Finish that off before moving farther into the cave, which will trigger another big ambush.
6 of 8: After they're all down, check along the north side of the cave for a fractured stone and a sarcophagus to loot.
7 of 8: Move over to the east cliff to trigger a minor stalker ambush, then check the narrow area to the south for a fractured stone and codex-giving rubble.
8 of 8: If you've gotten all the other codex-giving rubble piles so far, this one will give you the quest "The Drifters' Cache" when you use it.
