Dragon Age Origins Walkthrough Part 25 – Nature of the Beast, Part 2

Eastern Brecilian Forest
Taking the Northeastern entrace you will quickly find Danyla. She is just behind 4 werewolves, some of which are rabid. Talk with her to resolve the second part of “Lost to the Curse”. Head to the East from there to find a massive intersection.

To the North:
You will quickly encounter 3 Giant bears. Kill them then keep going to the North. There you will find some Darkspawn, a pair of Orges. Beyond them you can find an Ancient Tombstone. Distrub the wards for the codex entry, “Legend of the Juggarant” and opens the quest, “The Mage's Treasure”. If you go to the east, you will find the Mad Hermit's camp.

To the East:
In the lower part of the area you will be attacked by 3 Sylvan. At the end of this path you will find the Mad Hermit's Camp

Mad Hermit's Camp
Talk with the Hermit and you can barter a book or the scarf for the Acorn or other goods from him. You can collect some goodies from the stump as well, but then you need to kill the Hermit. Fighting the hermit has him quickly summon 2 Greater Rage Demons so be warned.

Southeast:
This leads to the Magical Barrier, blocking your forward progress for now

Southwest:
You will encounter a Wild Sylvan just a ways down the path. Continue on after it to find the Southern exit into the Western forest. Head there now.

West Brecilian Forest
If you are working with the Grand Oak, return the Acorn to it that you bartered off of the Hermit. It will give you the needed supplies to get through the Barrier in the Southeastern portion of the Eastern Brecilian Forest. Return to the Eastern half of the Forest

East Brecilian Forest
Head into the Southeastern corner and head through the barrier. This will let you progress forward. On the other side of the barrier you will encounter Swiftrunner again. He again talks with you. This time you need to fight the group. It will last until one of the wolves has almost died. At this point Witherfang herself will intervene, knocking the Warden over.

Head to the South of where you had this encounter you will find another Gravestone and a number of chests with a lot of goodies inside. The one beside the tombstone has an Onyx Demon Statuette inside it. Now continue along the path to the Southwest. There you will find the Gatekeeper who tells that you have found the Temple that the werewolves are using as their base of operation. Head on forward and go inside the Temple.

*if you like to collect items, then return to the Party Camp or the Dalish Camp and sell off all your excessive gear. This area has a lot of items you can collect.
