Dragon Age: Origins Hints

The Elven Ritual

  • 1 of 6: You get this quest when you take the tablet from the sarcophagus that's in the skeleton ambush area in the Lower Ruins. (NOTE: This entire quest is all stuck in under the one objective of "Complete the ancient ritual," so these hints won't have an objective list.)
  • 2 of 6: Go east from the skeleton ambush room, then turn left (north) to find the large ritual room.
  • 3 of 6: Looking around it, you'll find a fountain, an altar, and a big door you can't unlock.
  • 4 of 6: You need to unlock the door by performing the ritual that's described on the tablet you got from the sarcophagus.
  • 5 of 6: Check the journal's entry for this quest to get a sketchy outline of the actions you need to take.
  • 6 of 6: This quest is finished when the big door opens. See the "The Mage's Treasure" quest for details on the room beyond it.
