Unequipping party members items:
In the origins stories, unequip the items of people in your party before they die. You can either use their items or sell them. For example, after returning from the Kokori Worlds and before you talk to Duncan, unequip all of Jory and Daveths items since they will eventually die.

Easy gold:
To easily get gold, place your most expensive item in the junk section of your inventory. Go to a merchant and highlight the item in your junk inventory. Then, quickly press Triangle, X. Your item will sell for twice its value. Repeat as desired.

Easy experience:
To easily gain experience use the "Easy gold" glitch to get lots of gold. After you save Arl of Redcliffe's life, a soldier will appear in your camp with a box for donating money to the army. You will gain experience for each donation you make.

Urn of Sacred Ash Quest Ghost Bridge:
To get across the Ghost Bridge in the Urn of Sacred Ash quest, follow these steps:

1: Right one, right two, left three.
2: Step on first section of ghost bridge.
3: Right two, left three, left six.
4: Step on second section of ghost bridge.
5: Right two, right four, left six.
6: Right four, left one, left six.
7: Step on third section of ghost bridge.
8: Right four, right five, left one.
9: Right five, left one, left five.

Extra backpack at Ostagar:
To get an extra backpack at Ostagar, purchase the backpack from the Quartermaster. Complete the quest where you and the recruits enter into the Wilds. Complete the "Joining" ritual and become a Grey Warden. Before you attend the meeting with Duncan and the King, return to the Quartermaster. There will be another backpack available for the same price.

Redcliffe: Possessed child:
When you reach Redcliffe, there will be an option to enter the boy, aside from killing him and confronting the demon inside of the boy. Do not kill the boy. You will not gain much from his death and most likely your allies will disapprove. Instead, choose the option to enter the boy and let the Blood Mage do his ritual. Once you are inside, talk to the father. Once this is done, you must talk to the child "Possessed" and kill the demon inside him multiple times. Once you reach a certain part where you do not talk to the child, but the demon straightforward, try to converse with her. Conversing with her will get you more than just killing her. She will request that in exchange for her life, and the permission to enter the boy's body again in the near future, she will offer you gifts. One is a new specialization. Another is a certain rare item, armor, or weapon. Finally, is pleasure. Pleasure should not be an option, as it does not give you anything in exchange, not even an intimate scene. Select either the item or the specialization. However if you truly do not want to obtain anything useful, kill her.

Free tier 4 mages staff:
Do the following to get some items and gifts before you leave the castle. When playing as a human noble, after you go to your brother Fergus' room but before you leave, to go to bed ask your dog "Do you see anything interesting?". If he brings nothing back, ask him again. By doing this you will obtain the following items:

Piece of wood, which is a tier 4 mage staff that has a +1 Constitution and +10% Nature Resistance.
Found cake.
Dirty pair of pantaloons.
Tangled ball of yarn
Bottle of Garbolg's backcountry reserve.
Greenstone or elfroot.
Unique but seemingly useless Codex entry.

Increasing approval:
Sometimes your party might not care for you or bluntly tells you that they could be off better somewhere else. This can be changed easily. Each item that has "Gift" beside it can be given to a party member. You cannot give one to your own character. For example, some of the demon things that you get in your travels (like the totem or demon statue) can be given to Sten. You will get at least a 5+ approval. Each item varies from person to person. Some are meant more for others. You must learn which item fits what person.

How you choose to talk to a character can determine approval ratings. Some are minor changes, but still will be closer to the liking side or disgusted side however you so choose. The hardest two that you can speak to are Sten and Morhgan. Keep in mind that they can be persuaded. Sometimes the correct words can lead to a loving moment and others to a long argument or a discussion especially for learning about them. That is what takes the longest time. The only one you really never have to worry about is the Mabari of the group, or the dog in most cases. It will love you no matter what and will stay loyal to the end. Give it a treat for being such a good loyal character.

Armed Mages:
Mages are not just magic casters, Once you have acquired the Arcane Warrior style you can easily exchange the strength of armor and weapons to wield or wear them for Magic. You can now use spells and a sword. Do not worry about taking physical damage because of the armor. You do not have to keep your distance and use all the spells desired and still get up close with your enemies. Note: This ability is obtained in the "Nature Of The Beast" quest with the Dalish Elves. You must go into the temple and find a vial that seems odd. A short cinematic starts and it speaks to you. After a long series of questioning, it offers to pass on its talents of an arcane warrior to you and your party in exchange for its freedom.

Pick up items during battle:
Usually during battle you cannot pick up items. However, if you go within range of the item or corpse, open your radial menu by holding L2 and center it on the item or corpse and press X, when you let go of L2, the pick up box will appear. This can be helpful if you are in need of poultices and a dead enemy may have one on them.

How to defeat the Tainted God:
Look to the corners and have the final Boss follow you. Notice the oversized crossbows. Once you are using the ballista, keep in mind depending on where and how close the Tainted God is, you may not get a large amount of damage and it takes a lot of time. You just have to worry about the long range attacks and sometimes the dark spawn attacking. However if you have party members then you should be alright. They can battle the dark spawn and you can remain focused on the dragon or Tainted God.
