Characters

Dragon Age: Origins

• Niall is here to explain what happened and about the Sloth demon. While he doesn't want to come with The Warden, he is a good source of information.
• A mage apprentice in the form of a Mouse was attacked by a Rage demon here. When you free him from the rage demon, it is too late for the mouse. But he gives you his shape shifting talent, called mouse. You will need his talent to travel through the mouse holes. The mouse form is small and has stealth, but it isn't for combat purposes.

Enemies

• Rage demon (Demon, Critter)
• Lesser shade (Demon, Critter)
• Lesser rage demon (Demon, Critter)
• Shade (Demon, Critter)
• Wisp wraith (Demon, Critter)
• Yevena (Demon, Lieutenant) - one of five demons to reach the Sloth Demon's Sanctum

Special objects

Dragon Age: Origins

• Lyrium veins touching it restores your mana/stamina and health. The vein will auto recharge after a minute or so.
• Fade Pedestal touching it sends you to the travel map. But only when there isn't a Dreamer stopping it from working. After talking to Mouse and returning to Niall the pedestal will be active.
• Special doors:
  • Mouse Holes (Needs Mouse form.)
  • Spirit Doors (Need Spirit form.)

Bug! pc On the northwest island, it is possible to walk under the Spirit Door, making it possible to pass through the door even in normal form. However, it is not possible to do the same on the other side, which leaves your character trapped if they cannot yet use the Spirit form.

• 21 stat-boosting Essences and Fonts (total spread throughout the entire Fade section of the game, although only a few (two?) are in the Raw Fade)
  • Essence of Dexterity (through Spirit Door on the northern island)
  • Essence of Willpower (In the room with Yevena)

Trivia

• If The Warden is a mage, then when Niall speaks about the mouse dreamer, they have the opportunity to say that they once met another mouse in the Fade, referring to the character Mouse met during their Harrowing.
