A Lost Nug is a side quest in Dragon Age: Origins.

Acquisition

This quest can be obtained from Nug Wrangler Boermor in Orzammar Commons.

Walkthrough

Boermor asks the Warden to help him by finding some lost nugs. Several of the small, pink creatures await in Orzammar. The nugs can be heard squeaking when they are nearby, making them easier to find. Nug locations are listed below, going from left to right on the Orzammar Commons map

  1. South of the Nug Wrangler, near the Deep Roads entrance.
  2. North of the Nug Wrangler, off to the left.
  3. On the bridge in front of the Orzammar Proving (have to walk down it a little ways to see it).
  4. Hiding the alleyway past Janar Armorers, next to Filda (Ruck's mother).
  5. Next to Brother Burkel.

Grab the nugs and take them back to Nug Wrangler Boermor for a reward. The quest ends after retrieving one nug, but more can be collected for additional silver.

Rewards

12Silver and 25 XP are rewarded each time the Warden returns a nug.

Bug icon Bug! ps3ps3 This will not cumulate: if the Warden turns in multiple nugs, only 12Silver will be received.

Notes

Nug Wrangler Boermor accepts one nug per click. If the Warden discovers more nugs rooting about in their pack, talk to Boermor again until he takes them all. He'll say "Atrast Vala, my nug-wrangling friend" when the Warden has no more nugs left. If the Warden hasn't caught all of the nugs, Boermor will tell the Warden that there are more out there.

The Prima Guide states that an exceptional reward is available for collecting all 10 nugs. However, there are only 5 collectible nugs in the game. It's impossible to wrangle nugs outside Orzammar Commons; none of the following nugs can be captured for this quest:

It is possible to collect Leliana's Nug and give it to Boermor. Simply give it to her in the Orzammar Commons and she will take it and sit it on the floor. You can then pick it up and give it to Boermor. This does not work if the Nug is given to her in camp as the Nug cannot be picked up at this point.

Bugs

  • When you give Boermor the first nug the quest will be marked as completed even though you can return the 4 other nugs for the same reward.
  • Boermor will always say there are more nugs out there when the Warden hands in a nug, even when handing in the last available nug.
