Dragon Age: Origins Hints
What can I do with this relic?
1 of 6: You can right-click on it to get a codex entry about the gangue shade.
2 of 6: To get the actual shade to appear, you'll have to right-click on the relic while wearing all four pieces of the Legion of the Dead armor.
3 of 6: You've already passed by (and hopefully gotten) the gloves, boots, and armor items.
4 of 6: The helm is on the Legionnaire Altar in the short hallway that's east of the relic. Taking it will put the "The Dead Caste" quest in your journal.
5 of 6: If you have a character with a Strength of 42 or more, get him to put on all the armor and right-click on the relic.
6 of 6: The so-called "gangue shade" will appear nearby. It's tough, but it's alone and should be fairly easy to kill.
