Dragon Age: Origins Hints

New Ground

  • 1 of 9: This quest will be available on the bartender's job board after you finish "Dead Drops," but only if you haven't yet finished "False Witness." (If you have, you can get "Harsh Decisions," but not this one.)
  • 2 of 9: The first thing you have to do is talk to three people and give them K's secret wink-and-nod signal.
  • 3 of 9: Next, give the old wink-and-nod to the guard contact who's standing near the Market District's NW exit. (If he's not there, travel somewhere else and then return, or enter and exit a store.)
  • 4 of 9: Travel around on the city map until you get an encounter in a run-down alley.
  • 5 of 9: Move forward to get D's lieutenant and his rogue henchmen to attack you.
  • 6 of 9: After you beat them, search the lieutenant's body to find directions to D's hideout. This enables you to travel to D's hideout on the Denerim city map.
  • 7 of 9: WARNING: If you haven't finished the first three of D's quests yet (the ones that start with "Solving Problems"), you'll want to do so before traveling to D's hideout. (Note that a glitch may prevent you from getting the rewards you should from the bartender.)
  • 8 of 9: Move up to D to get him and his rogue henchmen to attack. D is a very tough opponent, so take him down as fast as you can.
  • 9 of 9: After it's over, return to the bartender and tell him you've finished a favor in order to get 10 gold coins.
