Out of Control is a side quest in Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening.

Background

Outside the chantry in the City of Amaranthine, the Chanter's Board asks for a person skilled at dealing with apostates and maleficars.

Walkthrough

After accepting the quest, enter the Chantry of our Lady Redeemer and talk with Ser Rylien near the entrance. She will tell you to find and interrogate three (suspected) apostates in the city. Agreeing to follow through results in disapproval from Anders and Velanna, so you might want to leave them out of the party.

  • Ico DisAppr Heart Anders disapproves (-1)
  • Ico DisAppr Heart Velanna disapproves (-1)

Next, start searching the city for three erratically behaving people wandering about. They tend to walk slowly while muttering incoherently; as soon as you try to talk with them, they will turn hostile and attack you. You may have to wait for them to stop first.

  • Muttering Elf is found near the main (south) gate. He will walk towards the The Crown and Lion.
  • Rambling Elf is found in the Market Row. She will move towards the Amaranthine Commons.
  • Mumbling Man is found on the west side of Amaranthine Commons. He will move up to the battlements.

When you have dispose of the three apostates, a boss-level Apostate Mage will appear in the southwest corner of the city (right south of the Market Row; you should see him from the battlement). He will immediately attack when approached. Kill him and report to the local Chanter to finish the mission.

Result

Note

Bug icon Bug! Sometimes the Mumbling Man (up on the battlements) won't go hostile. If this happens, simply re-enter the battlements through another route.
Bug icon Bug! Occasionally the dead mages will permanently keep the quest markers above them, even after the end of the quest.
