Dragon Age: Origins Hints

Dead Drops

  • 1 of 10: This quest will be available on the bartender's job board after you finish "Untraceable."
  • 2 of 10: Your task now is to deliver payment packages to four dead drop locations.
  • 3 of 10: The first one is in the Market District, at the SE corner of the open market area.
  • 4 of 10: Right-click on it to insert the payment, then go look for another dead drop location.
  • 5 of 10: There's one at the Lake Calenhad Docks, inside the inn.
  • 6 of 10: Another one is in the surface dwarf camp in the Frostback Mountains, near Ahren's stall.
  • 7 of 10: The final dead drop location is in Redcliffe Village. You'll want to put off going there until you're ready to start on the Redcliffe Treaty Quests, since some of them need to be completed before you leave the village.
  • 8 of 10: Look for the drop location on the boardwalk near Lake Calenhad, directly north of Dwyn's home.
  • 9 of 10: Whichever package you deliver last will blow up in your face, but that's okay. (Going back to the other dead drops and purposely detonating their packages is *not* okay.)
  • 10 of 10: Return to the bartender and tell him you've finished a favor in order to get 3 gold and 98 silver.
