1. Dragon Age Origins Walkthrough

A: The Tower of Ishal is a four floor structure, and you'll be forced to traverse all four floors in order to ultimately reach the beacon atop the tower, where you can send your signal back to the field of battle. The first floor will pit you against many enemies of the Hurlock and Genlock variety, but nothing you can't handle. There's a ring of debris and fire surrounding the center of the floor, and you must work your way around it in order to get to the enemy party occupying the room. Until you do, their archers will take potshots at you. The only opening in the fiery debris will almost certainly spring a trap, so proceed with caution. Once you've breached the center of the room, go for broke on the enemies you encounter. The Emissary-type enemy is the strongest you'll face here, so try to focus your initial attacks specifically on that foe, if possible.

B: With the center of the tower's first floor cleared, and with dead enemy bodies there already looted, you can move on to location B. Head through the door into this elongated room, and get ready for another conflict. You'll have less room to work with here, but the enemy force isn't nearly as powerful or robust as the one you faced when you first entered the tower. As usual, downed enemies will be a great source of coinage and other inventory items, if you're willing to take the time to search their bodies. You can also find a Silver Bracelet in one of the wooden trunks, which you can give to anyone for a +5 approval.

C: The fray at location B will have no doubt gained the attention of the enemies occupying location C. Expect enemies to come forward from location C, both from the hallway near location A, and via a door that connects rooms B and C. Before the enemies arrive, loot the boxes and treasure chests in the room at location B. If you're not a rogue, you may have difficulty cracking some of these locks. Then, rush for location C. If you're quick, you can spring an assault on the bulk of the enemy force there before they flip the script on you. Keep an eye on your flank, however, since some wily Hurlocks and Genlocks can easily sneak up on you from the hallway, complicating your situation exponentially.

D: Finally, at location D, you'll find the staircase that will lead up to the tower's second floor (remember -- there are four floors here). Naturally, the staircase is guarded by a detachment of enemies. There are quite a few thug archers taking aim at you from the stairs leading up to the second floor door, so take care of them quickly, so that you free up your party from extraneous attacks while they're dealing with the bulk of the enemy force here in melee combat. When you're positive all boxes have been looted on the first floor, and all enemy corpses scoured for goods, you can use the stairs to head up to the second floor.
