Key to Mages' Chest is a plot item and a key in Dragon Age: Origins.
Acquisition[]
During Origins the key is obtained from a caged prisoner in Ostagar, during the Hungry Deserter questline. In the Return to Ostagar DLC, the key is looted from the corpse of the prisoner found in the fallen cage.
Note: The key can only be acquired once. If the Warden obtained the key during the Hungry Deserter questline, it will not be found on the prisoner's corpse when returning to Ostagar.
Notes[]
- The key unlocks a chest that is guarded by a Tranquil during the daytime near the Circle of Magi camp during the Battle of Ostagar.
- During Return to Ostagar the chest is located slightly northwest of "Elric's buried key" on the map.
