Dragon Age Origins: Tainted blood Dragon Age: Origins Guide

Last update: 07 June 2024

Received from: Duncan [Ostagar]

Description: This is a relatively simple quest. Keep eliminating hostile creatures during your time spent in the [Korcari wilds] and check their bodies after each battle to keep finding vials of darkspawn blood. You'll be dealing mostly with genlocks and hurlocks and it shouldn't be hard to kill them as long as you don't attack too many of them at the same time. You'll have to acquire only three vials for the purpose of this mission, however you'll find more of these objects and it'll be up to you if you want to keep collecting them.

After you've collected three vials you could return to [Ostagar], however I would recommend to keep playing, because you'll have to complete the second quest (The Grey Wardens' cache) anyway. Once you've returned from the [Korcari wilds] for good talk to Duncan (M21, 2) and assuming that you've completed both tasks you'll take part in the ritual. Don't worry about it, because you'll survive the process and automatically trigger a new important quest - After the ritual.
