Dragon Age: Origins Hints
North Area Tips
1 of 9: Go along the tunnel until you get near a large cave.
2 of 9: Park your party a ways back in the tunnel and use lure-them-out tactics to clear the cave of cultists.
3 of 9: Note that the cultist on a platform on the west side of the cave is a powerful cultist overseer, so try to save him for last.
4 of 9: Loot him to get the Spellweaver longsword, then move your scout character far enough into the cave to trigger a dragonling ambush.
5 of 9: After that's dealt with, send your rogue into the cave and have him detect and remove the two traps that are next to the stairs on the west side.
6 of 9: Move him up a few of those stairs to trigger a drake ambush, then run him back to the group.
7 of 9: Kill and loot both drakes to get drake scales, then move the party up to that cave and send a scout down the east tunnel.
8 of 9: The next cave has a ranked drake, a cultist mage, a cultist archer, and a cultist assassin in it. Lure them off one a time if you can.
9 of 9: After killing and looting them, search their cave to find a codex-giving book and a lootable dragon egg that contains the blood mage amulet called Lifedrinker.
