SuperCheats.com Unoffical Dragon Age: Origins Guide http://www.supercheats.com/guides/dragon-age:-origins Check back for updates, videos and comments for this guide. Note: From a practical point of view you should be making the potions, poultices and salves that you need, not to mention the traps, poisons, and other craftables, because you can easily gather the ingredients as a by-product of adventuring, and it is a LOT cheaper to do it that way. You do not have to craft, but it is not that difficult, and as long as you keep your eyes out for plans and recipes on the merchants you encounter, you should quickly amass the ones you need to make what you need. If you are not a magic user as your main, that does NOT mean that having Lyrium related items is a waste remember you have a mage in your party and THEY can use that, so do not ignore things that are not particular to your specialization since they are still useful to the party. A short list of items you may want to stock up on here include: Distillation Agent Elfroot Flasks (empty) Gifts Plans Recipes Items you should not sell (in other words hold on to because you can use them later) include Runes, Gifts, and crafting agents that you can actually use. The later is relative to what skills you have for instance if you cannot make traps than holding on to trap components does not make sense... A Note on Gifts Gifts will increase the amount of affection/like that your party members have for you. To ascertain what that level presently is, open the Equipment menu and select each party member below their doll and load-out window is a sliding guage with dislike on the left, and like (a heart) on the right. Their present level of affection is indicated by the arrows marking the bar obviously you want this to be as high as you can get it! Giving a gift to them will increase their like for you and giving the right gift to the right party member can have an even greater increase on like. If you examine each gift that can give you an idea of who it would be most appropriate for. Back to Barlin After you have bought and sold all that you need to, ask Barlin if he knows of any well-paying jobs in town. First he will loudly answer that you should check the Chanter's Board but we already know about that don't we? In a much more discrete voice he will then ask if you happen to know anything about poison? Well as a matter of fact I do! Barlin would like to purchase some poison from you nothing fancy, just something that he can use to and I quote "slow them beasties down." To complete this quest you need to make three flasks of venom which means you need some Toxin extract. You may need to purchase some ingredients from him to make the poison but you are better off gathering the ingredients yourself. Just keep in mind that you have a standing order from him and now exit the tavern. Sten of the Beresaad In a cage further down the road from the tavern is a prisoner named Sten. When you go and chat with him, you learn that he has been imprisoned by the Chantry because he slaughtered an entire family including their children page 48 / 145

He is Sten of the Beresaad, as he says, the vanguard of the Qunari Peoples. Would it surprise you to learn that this murderer is one of the people that you can add to your group? Well, he is but you have to figure out how to get him out of this cage and gain his willing cooperation without alienating the town, the Chantry AND your group! Introduce yourself and feel him out he can provide you with the information you need. As you chat with him you will notice that Alistair does not like him, and Morrigan likes him. Leliana does not think that even a murderer deserves the fate that is in store for Sten, and you have to decide what you are going to do but the task begins with revisiting the Revered Mother. If you have Leliana in your party, the Revered Mother will give you the keys because she trusts Leliana and because you want to put Sten under your control. If you do not have her in your party, your options are limited. Be aware though that if you choose to intimidate or threaten, you will have alienated the Revered Mother, the Chantry, and lost some of the respect that Alistair feels for you. Once you have the keys, return to the cage and free Sten, adding him to your party pool if not necessarily your party. Before you head on to complete your current missions, run back over and chat with Elder Miriam again, and she will offer you a mission to gather herbs and create some healing poultices for her. Accept that mission, as there are quite a few elfroot plants in the area that you will be covering to do the Chanter's Board mission! Wrapping up the Lothering Missions The requirements for the mission you accepted from the Chantry Board are to eliminate the bandits there are three groups of bandits on the North side of the village outside. The three groups of bandits are marked on your radar map with white arrows and labeled on the map itself as Chanter's Board targets. Leave town and seek out these bandits and slay them! As you move towards each group keep your eyes peeled for plants you can harvest and lootable containers there are a few in the area outside of town. The group of refugees that you encounter as you leave town are not part of the Chanter's Board quest, but you still need to take them out. That is a pity since they are not evil in their own right, but what can you do? The group of bandits with the Bandit Leader in it around the far hill were a lot tougher than I was expecting I had to burn through a large number of healing potions to defeat them and you likely will too so keep your eyes out for elfroot to replace what you use up! After you take out the third group of bandits you can loot the two containers in their camp for some money and items, and then instead of heading straight back to the Chanter's Board, follow the river here in the general direction of town and you will be set upon by a group if giant spiders. After you slay the spiders you will loot some toxin from each this is the ingredient that you need to make the poison that Barling wants. After you loot the toxin, open your commands menu and select poisoning, then the poison crafting icon, and create three Venom Potions. Now you are ready to return to the Chanter's Board, Elder Miriam, and to visit with Barlin. Do that now. Elder Miriam pays you a small amount of silver for helping her to restock her healing supplies. Barlin pays you 75 silver for supplying him with the three vials of venom that he needs to poison the traps that he wants to place on his farm. The Chanter's Board quest gives you a whopping 3 gold for completing it when you talk to Chanter Devons, who tells you that you have done the Maker's work this day! Three gold! I'd do that again ten times if it would let me :) page 49 / 145
