Dragon Age: Origins — Awakening Guide › Walkthrough › Last of the Legion

Amaranthine

Note

There are three main quests in Awakening : "Shadows of the Blackmarsh," "The Righteous Path," and "Last of the Legion."

You can attempt the quests in any order, but it's probably best to do "Last of the Legion" third. You gain Sigrun, a second rogue companion, but because you begin with your first rogue, Nathaniel Howe, at Vigil's Keep, it's not essential to find Sigrun early in the game.

Beginning the Quest

When you're ready to begin your third major quest out in the lands of Amaranthine, speak with Captain Garevel in the Vigil's Keep throne room. He tells you a hunter stumbled upon a mysterious darkspawn chasm in the Knotwood Hills. At the conversation's conclusion, you gain the "Last of the Legion" quest.

Amaranthine

When you enter Amaranthine, look for Colbert near the main entrance. Colbert explains that he and his partner Micah saw darkspawn emerge from a chasm in the Knotwood Hills, and he marked the spot on his hunting map. He has no interest in pursuing that sort of danger, but guesses that you do. When you're finished in Amaranthine, travel to the new location on the world map: Knotwood Hills.

Note

If this is your first time visiting Amaranthine, there is a lot to do in the bustling city. See the "Amaranthine" section in the Side Quests chapter for all the events and quests not directly related to the main quests.
