1. Welcome to Episode 8 of Let's Play Dragon Age Origins, in which we fight our way through the darkspawn ranks and ascend the ancient Tower of Ishal, ready to light the beacon that will signal.
2. I know it's cheating, but everyone hates the tower of Ishal. And no, not everyones hates Ishal.

Dragon Age: Origins - Main Quest - The Tower of Ishal 2/2The Tower of Ishal was to play a vital role in the Battle for Ostagar. King Cailan personally requested that The Warden and Alistair be responsible for lighting the beacon at the top of the tower that would alert Loghain's forces to come support the king and the other Grey Wardens.Make your way across the bridge to the base of the Tower of Ishal. If you don't want to get knocked down by flaming rocks, go slowly and pause before crossing a new section of the bridge, but other than sending you flying they don't seem to do much damage.At the base of the tower, you will be met by a Tower Guard who will tell you that the Tower has been overrun by darkspawn who have come up from some recently discovered lower tunnels (you may have heard about these if you talked to the guard by the Tower earlier).If you are a mage, the Tower Guard and a Soldier will now join your party. If you are a human noble (and so have Dog in your party), you will be joined only by a Circle Mage. Otherwise, the Tower Guard and a Circle Mage will join you.

See the Temporary Companions section for more information.Make your way into the Tower grounds: there are a number of genlocks and hurlocks fighting some soldiers. Kill the enemies and loot the containers in the grounds.

Gain entrance to the tower of Ishal.

Dragon Age: Origins is massive. Of course, you knew that already.

Doing a guide that covers every sidequest, item location, and available dialogue option for every class, race, and gender combination would be tantamount to creating an encyclopedia. But what if you’re just stuck at a particular point in the main story and you don’t want to sift through the mountains of text covering every little side detail? Read our guide. We’ll see you through the rough bits. And if you're just looking for love, head over to our DAO.Table ofContentsBecoming a Grey WardenBecoming a GreyWardenDepending on the race and class you choose when you build your character, you’ll experience a unique Origin Story. They’re pretty straightforward – just follow any quest markers the game gives you and get comfortable with the basic battle mechanics.

Our guide will begin once your Origin Story is complete, i.e., you’ve started your quest to become a Grey Warden.NEW AREA: OstagarYou’ll arrive in Ostagar and immediately be given the option to engage in a number of sidequests. Our guide will keep you on the main story path as much as possible, unless the reward for completing a sidequest is particularly useful. For now, talk to Alistair.RECRUIT: AlistairHe’ll be marked with a quest icon, and you’ll have to talk to him to continue.

He’ll join you automatically, but be nice to him – “I look forward to traveling with you” is a good, positive response.RECRUIT: Jory, DavethAlso automatic when you talk to Duncan.RECRUIT: DogThere’s a dog that’s sick in the Kennels. First, put on his muzzle, and you’ll get a sidequest to find a healing flower. It’s in the Korcari Wilds.

Heal the Dog, and he’ll be yours to keep after the Tower of Ishal mission. He’ll appreciate any bones you find.Make your way through the Korcari Wilds and meet Morrigan. You’ll join the Grey Wardens officially through the Joining, and go through a couple cutscenes before beginning the Tower of Ishal mission.NEW AREA: Tower of IshalRECRUIT: Tower Guard/SoldierYou’ll have your first real taste of battle here in the Tower of Ishal. There’s not much good loot, but keep in mind that you can’t return here once the battle is over.BOSS: OgreOn the top floor of the tower, you’ll face your first real boss encounter with an Ogre. When he crouches down, he’s preparing a charge move, so get out of the way. His shockwave will knock you down, so if you’re playing a Mage, it may be in your best interest to stay back and let your comrades soak up more of the damage. Otherwise, let loose on him and heal as needed.Above: Order your party to spread out when the Ogre gets ready to chargeRECRUIT: MorriganAutomatically recruited, but try not to get involved in the conflict between Alistair and Morrigan.

They never get a long, and you’ll lose points with whomever you side against.NEW AREA: LotheringRECRUIT: Sten / LelianaSten, a Qunari criminal, waits in a cage near the edge of town. Tell Sten you’re a Grey Warden and he’ll recommend talking to the Reverend Mother to get the key to his cage. You’re not going to convince the Reverend Mother to give you Sten’s key without threatening her, though. Threatening a priest will severely hurt your approval rating with Alistair, but will raise your approval with Morrigan.Better to first go into Dane’s Refuge and fight the guards.

You’ll be able to pick up Leliana automatically when you talk to her. Talk to the Reverend Mother with Leliana in your party, and you’ll automatically get the key to pick up Sten.NOTE: The sidequests in both Lothering and Ostagar are one-time only. Whether you complete them or not is up to you. But you won’t be able to go back and complete them later if you skip them.NEW AREA: CampHead north in Lothering, and move on. After meeting some friendly dwarves, you’ll wind up at night in camp.

Talking to Alistair at camp can make him drop hints about an amulet you’ll find in the Arl Study in Redcliffe a little later. While traveling to Redcliffe, Alistair will reveal a secret about his royal heritage. Being understanding is a good move. He’ll also appreciate it if you avoid telling him that you think of him differently. You can also buy a Golden rope Necklace from the Dwarf here – Morrigan will love it.Congratulations! You’ve become a Grey Warden, assembled a party, and set out on your quest to save Ferelden. Now the real game begins.
