Dragon Age: Origins Hints
Caridin's Cross
1 of 7: Move along the road to meet some hired goons and an elven mercenary, then keep going until the road is blocked.
2 of 7: Looking around, you'll see two side tunnels that you can enter. The western one leads to areas full of darkspawn, and the eastern one leads to areas full of deep stalkers. Both will eventually get you back on the road past the blockage, so go whichever way you want to.
3 of 7: After you clear out the ballista-fortified area, look around it to find traps to disarm for XP, rubble to examine for a codex entry, and a chest and fractured stone to loot. Also, go back the way you came and exploring the other tunnel to get more loot and XP.
4 of 7: Go east from the ballista area to find a broken crate and a glass phylactery at the point where the road turns south. Examine the phylactery and take the vial to get a powerful revenant to appear.
5 of 7: Kill and loot the revenant, then go south until you reach an exit that you can use to make the Ortan Thaig area accessible.
6 of 7: Before you go there, check out the two optional side tunnels that are nearby.
