Dragon Age: Origins Tips & Hints

Increasing approval

Sometimes your party might not care for you or bluntly tells you that they could be off better somewhere else. This can be changed easily. Each item that has "Gift" beside it can be given to a party member. You cannot give one to your own character. For example, some of the demon things that you get in your travels (like the totem or demon statue) can be given to Sten. You will get at least a 5+ approval. Each item varies from person to person. Some are meant more for others. You must learn which item fits what person.



 

Free tier 4 mages staff

Use the following trick to get some items and gifts before you leave the castle. When playing as a human noble, after you go to your brother Fergus' room but before you leave, to go to bed ask your dog "Do you see anything interesting?". If he brings nothing back, ask him again. By doing this you will obtain the following items:

  1. Piece of wood, which is a tier 4 mage staff that has a +1 Constitution and +10% Nature Resistance.
  2. Found cake.
  3. Dirty pair of pantaloons.
  4. Tangled ball of yarn
  5. Bottle of Garbolg's backcountry reserve.
  6. Greenstone or elfroot.
  7. Unique but seemingly useless Codex entry.

Easy money

You can buy two packs from the quartermaster when you begin the Grey Warden Joining (once before you go in the wilds and once you come out). Once you have them, you should have 100 item spaces in your inventory. Collect everything during the main and side quests. When you find a merchant or someone possibly to trade, do it. Keep adding more to your inventory space. A pack is 10 spaces extra, but prices tend to vary from those you buy. The quartermaster in the beginning sells them at the same price. The dwarf merchant that follows your party to camp varies. The quartermaster at The Tower of Magi has one for a heavy price, but it is worth it because you can hold more items and sell more as you see fit. By doing this you can make a lot of coin by mid-game. What you buy and sell depends on the coin you get to carry through the game.



 

Easy experience

To get more experience points earlier in the game, as soon as you leave Lothering, go to the city of Denerim. Once there, you will find a building named "Wonders of Thedas". Go inside it and purchase the Archivist's Belt. As long as it is equipped, you will get an experience point boost for everything in your Codex. Books will increase from 50 experience points to 75 experience points.



 

Redcliffe: Possessed child

Eventually once you reach Redcliffe, there will be an option to enter the boy, aside from killing him and confronting the demon inside of the boy. Do not kill the boy. You will not gain much from his death and most likely your allies will disapprove. Instead, choose the option to enter the boy and let the Blood Mage do his ritual. Once you are inside, talk to the father. Once this is done, you must talk to the child "Possessed" and kill the demon inside him multiple times. Once you reach a certain part where you do not talk to the child, but the demon straightforward, try to converse with her. Conversing with her will get you more than just killing her. She will request that in exchange for her life, and the permission to enter the boy's body again in the near future, she will offer you gifts. One is a new specialization. Another is a certain rare item, armor, or weapon. Finally, is pleasure. Pleasure should not be an option, as it does not give you anything in exchange, not even an intimate scene. Select either the item or the specialization. However if you truly do not want to obtain anything useful, kill her. Killing her alone results in the same experience you would get from killing the boy, not to mention the previous times you have also killed her.



 

Ostagar: Extra backpack

Upon arriving at Ostagar, purchase the Backpack from the Quartermaster. Note: You should have enough money if you collected sell-able items and gear from the beginning storyline. Complete the quest where you and the other recruits enter into the Wilds. Note: Make sure you explore the entire map. Complete the "Joining" ritual and become a Grey Warden. Before going to attend the meeting with Duncan and the King, return to the Quartermaster. There should be another Backpack available at the same price as earlier.

Free storage

When in Lothering, travel towards a bridge on the edge of town. There will be a bridge where a Dwarven father and son will be getting attacked. If you save them and are kind to them, they will be in your party's camp when you arrive shortly afterwards. They are merchants, and the son is an enchanting savant. The father has good items to start. Go to him and buy them, using the "Easy gold" glitch if needed. He never seems to lose what you sell him. You can essentially use him as free storage. This works well for players without the Warden's Keep downloaded content's bottomless chest, or if you just do not feel like always having to travel to Soldier's Peak to retrieve your excess inventory.



 

Unlimited experience

If you use the "Easy gold" glitch and amass a fortune in gold, you can basically get unlimited experience. When you save the life of the Arl of Redcliffe, a soldier of his will appear in your party's camp. There will be a box for donating to the army. Enter the screen, and the first option is to donate 30 gold. You can do this as many times as desired and gain a good amount of experience from each donation. If you just keep pressing A then X repeatedly, you will be quickly donating large sums of gold, skipping through the dialog screens, and earning a lot of experience. If you run low on gold, repeat the "Easy gold" glitch again at the merchant in your camp. Note: Be careful with this. Enemies will also level as you do. If you get too high of a level and do not have the correct equipment, you can be quickly defeated.



 

Easy "Silver Tongued" achievement

In Orzammar, there is a man in the Chamber of Assembly by the name of Vartag. Speak with him about earning Lord Behlen's trust. He should give you papers that state that Lord Harrowmont sold the same piece of land to two people. After he gives you the papers, go to the Shaperate in the Diamond Quarter. It is at the opposite end of the entrance to the Commons. Once you are in the Shaperate, talk to the Shaperate and give him the papers. He will tell you that they are forged. After that, return to Vartag and tell him the papers are forged. After you have done this, there is a Persuade line in which you can say. You can do this as many times as desired. Note: It helps if you have a high Coercion skill or high Cunning. Also, if you made a Dwarf Commoner, your sister will take you directly to Vartag once you have entered the Diamond Quarter.

Easter Eggs

Superman reference

The following is a random event that happens while traveling on the world map. You will encounter a farmer and his wife who find a baby in a meteor crash, just after it happens. They decide to take the baby and raise it as their own. You will get the Meteor Ore that the baby came in. It can be made into armor by Wade in Denerim. Your best chance of getting this event is from one of the Chantry Board mission in Redcliffe. Travel straight from Redcliffe to Refugees.



 

Portal reference

You must have Sten in your party for this to work. At the end of the game, if you choose to perform the ritual with Morrigan, you will go to the crowning of the new king or queen. After the dialogue with Alistair you can walk around and speak with your companions. Find Sten and he will say "Where is the cake? They promised there would be cake. The cake is a lie..."



 

Mass Effect reference

You can find a book in the Orzammar underground section "The Dead Trenches", near the "Legionnaire Shrine" at the end of a broken bridge. The book is called "Load Limit Reached". The first line reads "'Mass will have an effect," he says. It mentions a Dwarf named Shepard, the same name as the main character of Mass Effect.



 

Glitches

Leveling Up Early in the Gam

In Ostargar, there is a mission called Tainted Blood. Simply collect the three Vials of Darkspawn Blood but NOT the Grey Warden Treaties. Return to camp and talk to Duncan and report "We have the blood, but not the scrolls." This will exit out of the conversation, but WILL get the experience for the mission. Rinse and repeat until you are at the desired level. It takes very little time to shoot up to lvl 25(cap) if you press X to skip the conversations and speed up the process.



 

Free specialization manuals

FInd a vendor that has the manual you want. Save your game. Buy the manual to unlock the specialization. Now reload your save, and it will still be unlocked, and you will have your money back. The manual will also be missing from the merchants inventory.



 

Easy gold

There is a way to get gold fairly quickly with minimal effort. Place your most expensive item into the junk section in your inventory. Go to a merchant, go to the "Junk" section, highlight your expensive item and press Y very quickly followed by A. If done correctly, your item will be sold at twice its value. Buy it back, and repeat the process. It may require a few attempts, but if done correctly it will work well. It is best if you use two fingers, with one on Y and another on A so you can press them almost simultaneously. It is recommended that you either do this with a merchant with whom you have not sold any junk before, or buy back all the junk you previously sold. This speeds up the process enough so that you can double the gold as fast as possible. Also, if the merchant has an item more expensive than the one you are selling, buy it and use that instead to increase the amount of gold you get. If you have the Blood Dragon Plate, this can be done easily at the first merchant.
