Dragon Age Origins: Power Level Guide

[pargaras]

doesnt work if you get the update.

[LesPaul4444]

hahaha duran duran



[ReEvilProductions]

Delete the game (not the savedatas) and do it within log in PSN

[Video4uTv]

this is cheatingg wtf

[nickofmillertime]

@Video4uTv no it is not, the game will rape you as the enemies level with you. But they will have good armor and you will have crap armor.

[Video4uTv]

@nickofmillertime dude wtf its cheating, i almost finished the game, WITHOUT CHEATING f4g

[LunarBears]

STILL WORKS

11/12/11

UPVOTE SO PEOPLE KNOW!

[kght222]

this isn't power leveling, its cheating, its quite possible to end base origins without awakening (but with the in origins dlcs) at lvl 25, aka max level for base origins, and its possible to go from there on awakening without any dlcs and hit lvl 35 aka max level over all. if you realy want gamerscore on xbox why cheapen it by cheating it?

[flobbingdonkey]

This is dumb, why would you bother

[Fgundam]

is this conform to work with all game system including PC?

[aaron75fy]

don't bother with this bad idea, instead go to lothering with a char that knows trap making and keep going to alison with 3 spring traps. money and exp will be given for each sale

[mccanster1]

still works



[dwarfitup]

2011 STILL WORKS



[MrKegan22]

is there a way to do this after the archdemon, because i am a level nineteen mage and cant go anywhere

[diab3ticninja]

if u download the witch hunter add on and u make a new charcter your guy will be at lvl 20 so just put the stuff in where ever u want just 2 get the achievement

[Animeismylife9]

This works but you don't get as many skill points in the long run an the other characters level up when you meet them an they turn out like shit. Plus it makes the game harder an you have shitty equipment so your more likely to die. Also I did this to lvl 25 then made a new character of the same race/class same armor an weapons. But leveled him up throughout the game an by the time I hit lvl 18 I was 3 times better than my character I made with the glitch

[gibsonz0]

Dont do this unless you just want the achievement because the enemies will be level 20 and your gear will be shit so you'll most definitely get wiped

[Omegahazard]

Have they patched this yet? This will sure save me a lot of time

[willcrapson]

@Omegahazard They actually patched it soon after release. Simple solution: Unpatch the game, do the glitch, then patch the game. :)

[Omegahazard]

@willcrapson How do you get the patches then?

Because I just did it with no problem

[willcrapson]

@Omegahazard When you go on XboxLIVE or PSN it patches automatically.

[terryomega]

when i did the glitch and went to Lothering, the bandits kicked my butt.

[crazyjunkey98]

@terryomega i think npcs always will be the same lvl as you are.

[DISTURBEDALLDAYLONG]

@terryomega yeah me 2 i had to put it on casual but when you do this they drop better armour so you can ballance it out

[fagseatham12]

this does not wwork on ps3

[Bruceleeturner1972]

TO Gus and all othe youtube members. You can only do this up to level 24. I have tried to get to level 25 but it stops at 24. I even did this method like 10 more times just to confirm this. Anyways the glitch does still work.

[Bruceleeturner1972]

This glitch still works and I am glad you posted it. It really does work. In fact I am level 21 now because of you. So I would like to say thank you for this information. In fact I always refer to rooster teeth for achievement help. So far your videos have been pretty accurate. Anyways thanks again

[14shadowreaper]

@Killermandudeable u r what u eat weener...

[Ninjapwner4344]

doesnt work DX

[TCiLLnEsS]

@Ninjapwner4344 yes it does



[Bruceleeturner1972]

@Ninjapwner4344 yes it does work. I got to level 23 by using the method gus stated. It does indeed work. I am going to get a cam soon to record the proof that it does work. Anyways have a good day.

[14shadowreaper]

is there any faster ways?? cuz im the type of person that cant make his mind up so i have a ton of chracters.. and i wud really prefer not to spend hours lvling up.. or half an hour.. if u catch my drift that im blowing to u? any way i wud really apreciat it! TTYL

[Ninjapwner4344]

@14shadowreaper You can do the human class with warrior... it has the quickest starting.. and the rest is pretty quick too. So ya

[jellybean3264]

hey does this still work? and also does it work on the pc?

[dmgxhartstopper]

I Love You Rooster Teeth!!!

[Lifeless9619]

lol this is pretty fucking awesome, but my trick allows a fuck ton of gold too, just go to lothering, buy trap triggers in the inn, make spring trap to give to the crazy bitch who is scared of you, 3 trap triggers 7 silver, 3 spring traps = 50 silver back plus alot of exp, have fun

[G4me4Fun]

@Lifeless9619 could you please explain this again man?

[Lifeless9619]

@G4me4Fun sure thing. alison in lothering needs traps. a spring trap costs 2.75 silver to make. she pays you 50 silver for every 3 of these you provide her. buy the trap triggers from the vendor inside of the tavern and create spring traps by the thousands. then go through a quick chat sequence with alison multiple times. doing this can provide you with infinate money and experience and if you level from 7 to 25 in this manner you will end it with over 750 gold coins.

[kitey123456789]

so tell me how do you get the recuiter tropley like who are the people you can get

[Drag0nus]

To you all that's still asking you have to clear you cache memory on your HDD and NOT accept the update to do this level up glitch- BUT do know that if you chose to continue to play on that save the game will automatically assign stats to the other members (Sten, Dog, Morrigan, Wynn, Oghren, Leliana, Zervan, Shale and Secret Companion.) Alistair will be in your party and so they will allow you to build him how you want along with yourself. I only recommend you do this for achievo's.

[EaglesFastAndLow]

@35gamerboy Pretty sure they do.

[D4wn0fTim3]

It is going really slow for me. Any idea why?

[589Goku]

so as i level up do the enemy's in say the wilds do they level up to or will i just get to fight more difficult people that my teammates later will not stand a chance against?

[589Goku]

Its not patched im doing it now but i am on the Xbox i don't know if it is or is not patched on the PC.

[Kicksters94]

is this patched already?

[warmis1]

it does'nt work.... i have tried the mission and talked to duncan but i don't level up..... what else can i do?

[ParaRob12]

@warmis1 did you do the whole mission or just get the vials ?

[Drag0nus]

@ParaRob12 just go into the Korcari Wilds collect 3 vials of Darkspawn Blood then return to Duncan - change the difficulty to Nightmare and keep hitting X and A together that way you can choose to talk (A), then skip (X), and skip (X) and rinse and repeat. I do it this way and switch back to my tv and 10 minutes later I am like level 13 so give it a try. After your done then change the difficulty back to your settings and play.

[warmis1]

@ParaRob12 i did everything that they say i was suppose to do in the clip they were showing.... but i also found out that it does'nt work on PS3

[ParaRob12]

@warmis1 i am not sure about PS3 as i did it on xbox, but it should work when you just collect the vials and go back to duncan, the ps3 version might not have this glitch though

[OrangeYoshi333]

it took me 7 hours to get to the top level 25.

[Pusscatification]

i did this but i got up to lvl 22 warrior and later on i spent those upgrade points. didn't get the achievement then. this because i didn't do it when i was exactly lvl 20?

[kaosmage2112]

@ darrengan2k9 o ok

[TimbuckRules]

The level cap is 35 in awakening

[thehasseboy97]

doesnt work in pc )=

[Maharoba]

@thehasseboy97

seriously? if you're playing on the pc just mod it

[kaosmage2112]

I'm pretty sure there isn't a level cap, but reasonable exp ends at around lv 30

[darrenegan2k9]

@kaosmage2112 yes there is the cap is lvl 25 in origins

[2378greg]

this doesnt work

[DukeNukaCola]

That's awesome.

[xlr8103]

cheers mann!!!!!!

[MagesPown]

Brilliant idea coming after comma, unplug your Xbox from the internet before you play this game!

No patch no problems.

[xMEGATON96x]

also after you have the vials of blood and go to duncan. but before you talk to him change your difficulty to nightmare, because you get more xp for completing quests on that difficulty. then after you lvl ur character up change back to previous difficulty setting (unless you were already on nightmare)

[xMEGATON96x]

yeah the glitch works on da 360, but the enemies level up as you do so you will need to get some high level armor an weapons

[13thbraniac]

yeah but i think the enemies get stronger the more you level him

[Malanore1]

Does it still work on PC? ..

i already know what's going to happen in the end x] Mwhahaha

[MRoane41]

Does this work on 360?

[xlr8103]

@MRoane41 - yeah i just was watchin utube vids and talkin to him for ages - got to lvl 27 so far

[TheCHMoore]

@xlr8103 i thought the level cap for origins was 25 then 30 in awakening??????

[MrGambledorf]

@MRoane41 This is Xbox

[bradludwigtwo]

@MRoane41 considering he got an achievement i would think so

[jamesalmightyness]

@MRoane41 .....

[MrRathazar]

As of right now, with all the updates for the game..does this work on the 360?

[PimpnCereal]

@MrRathazar still works on 360

[aiseamoa]

thank you gus u da MAN!

[eusuntcatalin]

not working on PS3 :( any other ideas to make fast level 20?

[Zorc620]

And of course, doing this makes the game far more difficult. Enemies level with you, but you won't find equipment to match your level right away, leaving you in a pretty tough spot.

[CrusaderV7]

Still works :)

[DarkSage87]

i think this is fixed after patch 1.1 x(

[1996vamer]

got 2 lvl 33 and got bored 2 bought dragon age 2 :)

[mp31196]

ive done this but without the blood

[mbbell23]

Just had to comment on the awesome character name! lol

[drumline400]

did they patch it yet?



[LitzGR]

Patched?

[IamTheEndOfGod]

I went to 25 and tanked that ArchDemon as a mage!!

[allball103]

I had so many difficulty issues with this game. This saved my butt! I did a full restart 3 times just to try and find a class that I really liked. I never did, so I was never very good at the game. That being said, getting this far and then going up to like lvl 15 or so made it SO much more fun. Though I probably could have beat the game easier if I hadn't insisted on keeping the game on Normal...

[trapexz]

this is no use actually, the game is still as hard as if you were in lvl 5. im at level 23 (doing this ofc) mage and i loose like 30 life each hit when a darkspawn around Lothering attacks me, WTF!

[TheCHMoore]

@trapexz like in oblivion the enimies level with you but not at the same rate depending on your difficulty level.

[trapexz]

@TheCHMoore I see, but now it all works out and i beat the S*** out of every darkspawn :P

[2378greg]

does this work on a pc?

[TheCHMoore]

DID HE SERIOUSLY SAY ABOUT TWO HOURS INTO THE GAME?????????

thats like thirty mins max

[tendoking48]

@TheCHMoore Maybe some people like to take their time and enjoy a game rather than try to beat it as fast as they can.

[TheCHMoore]

@tendoking48 I do take my time and enjoy the game....

But 2 hours into the game still seems like a long time to get to that part even listening to every conversation.

[tendoking48]

@TheCHMoore How about accounting for munchie breaks? Good rpgs always require munchies of some kind.

[tentaciondehielo]

@TheCHMoore It tooked me 9 min on nightmare diff to reach level 20 on 360

[TheCHMoore]

@tentaciondehielo what as?

[NinjaBoy997]

@pxdud This doesn't work on PC, just tried it with Dragon Age Origins:Ultimate Edition. Not sure if it's because it's the Ultimate Edition or what, but it doesn't seem to work for me. When I hand the quest in without the treaties, Duncan takes the blood and when I talk to him again the option to hand in the blood isn't there anymore.

[peterdawoud]

I actually made it to level 20 as I entered the city to fight the arch demon at the end of the game. Some how I feel happier having done it this way since I feel invested in the character. That said, it's an easy way to get the achievements so well played sir.

[pxdud]

still works on PC, as does the attribute bug. but doing this really does cheapen the expieriance of the game. Found this out on my first playthrough accidently, spoilt the game as it wasnt challenging =/

[Shiftmad69]

is rogue the best class?

[042192kookie]

y doesnt it work on the PS3

[MrACEBOOGIE213]

Is this patched yet? Still work?

[zjwdude]

does this still work on the xbox 360?

[fede1211]

@zjwdude yes

[RetrousseRaptor]

@zjwdude yes even on the game of the year edition

[R4ul5k8]

who gives a fuck about PS3

[delta2ish]

@R4ul5k8 fanboy.

[XxPaulusWolfxX]

It works!!!!!!on the 360

[iBlah6666]

Cool glitch but honestly, it's so much more rewarding to actually make it to level twenty naturally. It's guaranteed to happen pretty much, plus Bioware has already probably patched it.

[goobama43]

Duran Duran nice!!

[AnthonyTheManiac]

whats the max level

[MichaelHall1989]

Has this been patched, or does it still work?

[j800r]

@MichaelHall1989 It's been patched unfort. Or at least, it doesn't work on PC :|

[rad3xl]

Oh yes it's also called cheating and absolutely ruins the game. NO THANKS.

[RLgamer13]

OMFG i want a glitch past this fcking quest

[oleandreas1989]

when u lvl up to 20 the enemies are hader to kill :P

[MrRayT69]

This still works for me though...

[crazyballs9]

@yeti6311 your right they arent patched, as i am doing it as i am typing to you xD

[ZOLANTON1]

A dwarf called Duran Duran..... lol.

[aragenn]

not gonna use such exploits even though i finished the game twice,my first playthrough tho i just got to lvl 18 sadly,my second playtrhrough just doing most sidequests i got to 22 before the archdemon!

[blackpiranaha525]

WHAT THE FUCK!!! O_O holy shit that is a huge design flaw!

[viperswhip]

Doesn't work on my game but I have 1.04 and the unofficial fix pack installed as well, so maybe that's why.

[dogeatdog53196]

I beat the game about five times fairly so I figured why not glitch the game and last I checked Xbox still hasn't patched this ha ha

[theuglyhairmonster]

2HOURS????? THE HELL

[R4ul5k8]

nah its not patched, right now im doing it lol :P

[WafflePaget]

i lv up till im lv 25

[RifleGaming]

Ruins the game.

[losertomy]

@RifleGaming Yea.

[faders1115]

great success!!!this is a for the win guide! ya!

[reaperboy234]

2 hours in to the gme haha it bout 10 minutes in to the game

[MrKingCoopah]

@reaperboy234 not really... in any way...

[reaperboy234]

@MrKingCoopah it dnt take hours to get to this bit

[aartbastiaan22]

if you have DLC and start a new char on that just make him some clss and you'll get the level 20 achievement immediatly :D

[StirringDead]

Is there a level cap?

[xCmc9]

Doesnt Work on PS3

[robloxfan459]

@xCmc9 they patched it to quickly. i guess if you buy the game, then turn off the internet so it doesnt need to update the system via internet, the code works, but otherwise they fixed it dude.

[CardiacKatz]

@xCmc9 FUCK lol oh well this game is totally worth leveling through the storyline

[ZOLANTON1]

@xCmc9

Delete the patches first.

[Xboxaal]

@xCmc9 hahahahah

[killjoy94o8]

@xCmc9 achievement hunter isnt for lame ps3.

[Blade51]

@xCmc9 Thats what you get for playing PS3 :P

[goobama43]

@xCmc9 Seriously? Man when i saw this i was so excited and then i looked down at the comments and saw this comment and i was like NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[giausjulius4]

The monsters level up with you right? So...your companions except Alistair will be low levels and get pwnt because of the higher level hordes. Good for achievements but not much else unless I am wrong about the monsters getting harder as you level up. If I am please tell me

[vagabondbutt]

@giausjulius4 Yes, the monsters are scaled up to your level but the companions you pick up along the way are also. When you pick them up they will be your current level so you won't be able to customize their abilities and everything but they will be high level characters as well.

[giausjulius4]

@vagabondbutt I made a character to test it out and that is true but your equipment cant keep up with the power of the enemies. I made another character after that and leveled the mundane way. So long as we are exploiting glitches I used the gold farmers guide to get all the rare goodies in the shops that nobody can afford unless they put in hundreds of hours of gameplay. Its best to do this early so you can get duplicates of those items as the shops reset after a bit of time with better items.

[swordboy99]

i love this first i get the the achiviemnet for starting zone and lvl 20

[dracon0071]

Still works on xbox just tried it and works so far XD

[Femis]

[Blazey220]

[uidsea]

Kindda wish I knew this earlier...

[sunblayze]

Is there a way to depatch your ps3?

[TREEHUGGERFTW]

@drifter941 Not patched on 360, I'm on the latest patch and it still works.

[MrSkme]

[TREEHUGGERFTW]

[AlaskanWarden]

Wish i'd known this earlier! It'd save my Cousland HOURS OF HELL!

[dimsumboy22]

[Drahcir0017]

As far as the PC achievements are concerned, I've got 102/109! :P I think there's only easy ones left. Except I still need Perfectionist. The 'all endings' one.

[madman101ish]

uh this isn't working 4 me 4 some reason...

[dimsumboy22]

@madman101ish it's because you don't know how to spell the word: "for"
