Dragon Age: Origins eGuide Walkthrough Achievements and Trophies

PC Achievements

There are so many accomplishments in Dragon Age: Origins that it will take you several game lifetimes to achieve them all. You could max out the perfect warrior at level 20 and still not be anywhere close to fulfilling all the Achievements; it will take several full game plays with all three classes to fill your Achievements tab with all those fabulous medallions.

So where do you start and how do you know how much you’ve done?   Who doesn’t have fun collecting all these titles? Sure, you’ve got your standard storyline ones—Hero of Redcliffe for completing “The Arl of Redcliffe” quest line or Annulment Invoker for siding with the templars in the “Broken Circle” quest line—but you also have Achievements for combat (inflict 250 damage in a single hit, yet?), romancing companions, crafting, mastering spell blocks, setting traps, using a tome, and even setting foot in every area of the game.

Achievement difficulty ranges from the supremely difficult (Dragonslayer) to the relatively painless (Last of the Wardens). Of course, the aptly named Perfectionist is awarded to the player who really has explored the game thoroughly and discovered all possible endings.   The following charts show all the Achievements for both the PC and console versions.

Each Achievement lists the requirements, as well as whether it’s a secret or not. The console chart also gives you all the Gamerscore points for the Xbox 360® and Trophy awards for the PLAYSTATION®3.

Combat Achievements lean toward the hack-and-slash player. Companions deal with romance and the final battle, while Origins reward you for completing the early introduction quests. Personal Achievements can be accomplished by your own actions, such as crafting items, disabling traps, hitting the level 20 cap, learning specializations and all of one spell/talent school, persuading and intimidating, and more.

Finally, questing Achievements revolve around the storyline and its effect on your PC.   So, if you want your player profile looking more like a Trophy wall than a bare cupboard, get back into the game and kill your 1,000 darkspawn already.
