Dragon Age: Origins Hints

How can I get the elf army?

  • 1 of 7: One way is to insist on killing Witherfang, though that's not really the best way.
  • 2 of 7: The better way is to offer to bring Zathrian to the Lady.
  • 3 of 7: Loot the two sarcophagi in the room, plus the rubble in the west side passage.
  • 4 of 7: Go down the east side passage to find a treasure pile and a door that leads back to the ruins' upper level.
  • 5 of 7: You'll find Zathrian waiting for you in the large chamber to the south.
  • 6 of 7: Talk to him and say that you'll protect him in order to get him to agree to meet with the Lady.
  • 7 of 7: After a bit of conversation, you can choose to support Zathrian or the Lady. Either way will end up with you getting an elven army.
