A1: 

A tome is something that can be bought from vendors. They give you extra pnts to level up with.
A2: 

It is a book. In this case they can be used to enhance your characters' abilities, or to specialize. The merchants will have them for sale.
A1: 

Injury kits are used to fix the red injury squares where your talents are and health poultices are used for quick use for health during the game.
A1: 

Go to a map travel location and travel to the camp at top right corner of the screne
A2: 

To get to your camp you have to have the travel map open and travel must be an option. On the upper right of the travel map is a square with "camp" in it. Choose "camp" as you would any location and you will camp just outside of your current location.
No you cannot marry Lelianna. You can "have relations" and kiss and I suppose it infers that you marry her if you beat the game with full approval because she talks about traveling the world with you.
No!
Yes. when you are at Denerim for the Landsmeet Arl Eamon asks you to talk to her. After some dialog she will ask you if you are volunteering for the role of King.
Same thing happened with me - so I just didnt go through with that cheat
You can only use one tome of a specific type, once its used any duplicated become useless except for monetary value.

You have to watch the amount that you dupe. Make less then ten at a time except for the tome of the mortal vessel, you can make as many of those as you like. The problem is that you are making too many tomes that exceed the amount of skill blocks available. that will break the game and render the tomes useless. Save your game before duping, make nine tomes and then check to see if it worked. secondly remember to put in junk all other tomes that will not be used at that moment. for some other reason some tomes wont work if you have other tomes equipped. hope it helps.
Put all your other tomes in junk section except the one that you want to use. you should be able to use it. do the same if you want to use another type of tome..
You have to put the game disk in.....Get the game started... On the main menu of the game go to "downloadable content" and that's where you enter the code.... NOT on the dashboard xbox live menu on the menu of the actual game.
You have to use it at the main menu of the GAME not the redeem code entry spot
You have to set up a bioware social account using the same email address as your live account and enter it on there
A1: 

Im not sure about wether it will corrupt it, however are you sure you are doing the glich correctly? It is very tricky to learn until you get used to it. Remember you have to press 'Y' and 'X' almost instantly for it to work there is such a short gap inbetween its like pressing them at the same time.
Hope this helps, Regards...... The Judge. -Answer by:TheJudge

With respect to the judge, its Y and A and not Y and X. All the other info is correct :-)
A1: 

They are useless apart from monetery value, I wouldn't bother collecting them in the latter stages of the game they just take up space.

I have activated all 4 places of power, but nothing happens... The mission is still in my current quests list. Can anyone help?
Question from: jayd0872(215)
Once you have activated all 4 places of power, you have to go to the Liaison for the Mage's Collective to complete the quest. I think he is in Redcliffe. If not there, then Denerim.
You need to go to one of the magi's places either in denerim or redcliff if you've not already went to the landsmeet
You still have to go turn the quest in, Go see one of the reps from the mages guild or whatever they call themselves to get your reward
The last one is in the allianage thus you don't get it done till near the end. If you think you did all 4 go back and check each one.
This happened to me on my third playthrough as a mage. I went back to every location again, on doing so 'Quest complete' just popped up. try it and see.
Are you defo getting the right places too?
Brecilian forest right on the first gravestone, mages guil temple in the circular room with the table in the middle, The huge tree in the middle of the alienage in Denerim, and in the Deep roads next to the on the alter where you place the body parts?

Is anyone having serious issues with the sound in this game, particularly cut scenes with the voice's of NPC's, I have had to turn subtitles on! Or is it just my xbox being rubbish again! ( is there anyway to resolve the issue?)
Regards........... The Judge.
Question from: TheJudge(438)
I have also had an issue with the cut scene voices going out at times, and I believe that it is related to how much you fast forward past dialogue. -Answer by:jayd0872
Mine does that sometimes to it's a glitch most times if you wait they will talk eventually lol
Yes, I too have had this problem this game has many glitches most of them cause great stress...
The first time you get to Redcliffe village and go to the castle to deal with the desire demon, you will have an option to deal with the demon after killing her a few times. This option is not there unless you are playing a mage character as Morrigan and Wynne will not deal with the demon. The option I believe is for a book, or knowledge. Once you unlock it, this option is open on any of your other play-throughs. -Answer by:jayd0872
When you go to save connor (the kid possesed by the demon) you can make a contract with her to return and she lets you have blood magic,
Its not that good tho, it takes health to do spells instead of mana. you die really quickly unless alistair tanks well, but if your evil he goes away , and he gets mad if you make the contract with the demon so be careful.

When you're in redcliff go into the fade to save conor. You can make a deal wit the demon to get blood magic.
In redcliff while battling the head demon lady you have to persuade her to talk to you she offers a proposal of something like let me go and ill give you a reward... then she offers to teach you blood magic.
*note* your person must be a mage

Answer Video When going to redcliff to help the boy thats cursed... instead of killing the demon I let her live for the blood magic
When doing the quest saving arl of red cliff you run across a blood mage locked in a cell you have to let him out of the cell. Then later on the blood mage comes back and says you could use blood magic to enter the fade.When you go in the fade you have to do some things then when you get to the end there will be a demon talk to her and go with the non confrontation way and you will get an option to learn blood magic -Answer by:MasterXKhaosx
Only for the Main character, obviously must also be a mage. When you travel to the fade to save the child in Redcliff castle talk to the demon and negotiate.
When compleating the 'Urn of sacred ashes' mission, choose to destroy the ashes with the tainted dragon blood. Leliana will attack you but once dead you can leave and a cut seen will follow where you can drink dragon blood as a reward from the nutcase who asks you to destroy the urn. Once drank, you have the blood mage ability.
Regards.............. The Judge.

When you finally get to go into redcliff castle and find out the boy is posessed....you can have jowan sacrefice the mother to go into the fade. Once your in the fade, you fight the demon 3 or 4 times untill the demon shows its true form. Once in its true form, speak to it and work out a deal with the demon. The demon will ask what you want in return. Blood mage is one of the options to pick
In the fade when you are getting ready to battle the desire demon that holds the Aerl's son in thrall. He will mention blood magic as a reward for not killing him. Also drinking the phylactery in the warden's keep DLC will give you half the abilities allowing you to still have two specializations.
A1: 

You will need to set a command that says self-health at or below 30%-disengage ability-shapeshift. after that have the command at the same health rating to use a health item. -Answer by:jayd0872
A1: 

There is a group of bandits hiding in the abandoned house in the back of the area the casteless are exiled. Kill some or all of them to get the finger bone. They only show up when you have advanced far enough in the quest line to choose a new king.
Yes, you just need to make sure that both weapons have at least one slot to put enchantments on them
Yes you can. You have to use separate runes to do so though. first you enchant the one weapon then switch it with the off hand weapon to enchant that one. This should work, if not try only equipping one at a time
If both the weapons have rune slots then yes they can - they dont even have to be same runes - I dual wielded 2 imperial edge - had one with fire enchantments and other with ice
Yes, you can have both weapons enchanted in the case of dual wielding -Answer by:jayd0872
For Arcane Warrior there is a crystal ball that you have to touch during the werewolf quests at brecilian forest. The crystal ball can be found in one of the side rooms in the werewolves home.
Arcane Warrior you can get in the Werewolf Dungeon, one of the rooms in the basement you find a object and when you touch it you talk to a elven spirit that is trapped within it ask him what knowledge he can share with you and the do what he requests. To get the Reaver you have to do the quest for the cultists and destroy the ashes, then go back outside and turn in the quest and drink the blood, however its best to save before doing this because I know some party members will turn on you and you will have to kill them.
For arcane warrior there is a gem in the ruins of the dailish forest where the werewolves live, you need to interact with it and it will transfer the knowledge of the arcane warrior to you mage (your character must be a mage). For reaver you must cooperate with the cultists before entering the shrine of the urn of sacred ashes, they will ask you to desecrate the urn by pouring dragons blood in it. Once you do that and report to the leader he will show you the ways of the reaver (your character must be a warrior).
In the werewolves lair area, there is a vial that you can interact with that is near an alter. when interacting with the vial, a ghost will talk to you and if you react well to it, will tell you a story and at the end, if you agree to place the vial on the alter, it will teach you arcane warrior. For the Reaver ability, you have to agree to help the Dragon cult out when you get approached by the high priest. -Answer by:jayd0872
I don't know how to get Arcane Warrior, but on the "Urn of Sacred Ashes" quest, just before you take the ashes, or after, but before you leave there's someone that teaches you to be a Reaver, I'm not 100% on how.
A1: 

To the left of the pool when you walk in. However, it sometimes does not appear (reason not known), but if that occurs then you will not be able to get the last piece of the juggernaut armor set
A1: 

To get their happiness up quickly, give them gifts that will intrigue them such as giving zefran antivan boots and giving morrigan the golden mirror. It also helps to talk to them alot after you give them gifts. new monolouge will appear for new questions.
You have to keep giving him things to get his approval rating up and then keep talking to him to get your dialogue options more advanced. You will soon have you a piece of Alistair. lol.
You must be a female character, and get his approval rating with you to 100%. then after he gives you a flower, you can then attempt to seduce him at camp. -Answer by:jayd0872
To get Alistair to sleep with you, talk to him often and listen to all his stories and everything he has to say. When you answer his question, pick the answers that he would most likely want to hear. Give him gifts often, and one that will get you especially far: his mother's amulet. Once you have raised his disposition towards you to a greater area, talk to him in camp and make suggestive answers leading towards love and relationship and sex.! Good luck!
A1: 

When you go to the urn of sacred ashes take a pinch and pour the dragons blood in the urn you will have to fight the gaurdian and some shades but when you beat them go out and then you will drink some dragons blood and it will unlock the reaver
A2: 

Do the urn of sacred ashes quest and choose to poor the dragon's blood into the urn. As an extra note, you can save prior to pouring the blood into the urn, then poor the blood in (you will then have to fight the guardian and two shades). Then go outside and speak with the cultists and drink the dragon's blood. this will unlock it. IF you saved prior, you can go back to that save point and NOT pour the blood in the urn if you would rather take that route but still unlock the reaver.
A1: 

There is another gravestone close to where the injured elf was that will summon your last remnant for the helm.
A2: 

3 of the pieces are in the bracilian (SP?) woods when you activate tombstones (the one closest to the dalish camp cannot be activated until you activate one of the other 2 first). The final piece is the ruins:

How do I get good weapons I just started the game & I am fighting the werewolves?
Question from: mannyloco(17)
A1: 

Its not really meant for you to go there first. after rescued by the witch from that tower allistar recommends you go to redcliffe first and do that quest. if lucky youll get a few veridium(lvl 4 arm and wep) and some other stuff. but pick up leliana in lothering if you arent a rogue cuz theres a locked armory in the castle. then go to the werewolf quest.
A1: 

To make your charcter a reaver you must help the cultist and destroy the ashes of andreste but alistair will hate you after wards if he is in your party
You need to do a quest : Crime Wave that chubby dude next to Goldannas house gives out to thieves . Namely there will be certain silversmith that you can lift the key off
You have to go to the guy in denerim and break in or steal the key from where he says to.
I think the keys will be given to you when you do the slim coudry's quest to steal from the vendor... For you to open the chest is part of the stealing quest..
Those two chests are part of the "Crime Wave" quest. If you have not gotten this series of quests, then your character (your personal character, not companions like Leliena) needs to have at least 1 skill point in stealing.
I've heard, if you're a rogue, at least 1 point in stealth will also unlock the "Crime Wave" quest but it may limit which parts of the quest you can do.

Its is a rogue quest. when you enter denrim walk past the nuuty chantry granny up to goldanna's home. there is a man standing there with a bunch off quests, the key for the chest being one of them
Those two chests can be gotten by following the pick pocket side missions that you can get in Denirem. -Answer by:jayd0872

Who are you making an Arcane Warrior? Yourself? because Wynne and Morrigan are already specc'd and can't gain another until level 14

How do you gain the achievement were you side with the werewolves? No matter what line of conversation I choose I never seem to be able to obtain this out come and always end up were Zathrian see's sense and releases the curse. Does anyone know the right way?
Regards.
Question from: TheJudge(438)
When your talking to witherfang for the first time talk to her about revenge on the elves - that should lead to something about killing varathorn - then go get varathorn and after some carefull speech choices you should be able to fight varathorn and invade the elven camp - if done sucesfuly you side with warewolfs
hope this has been posted in time
hope this has been posted in time
Im not positive but probably by persuading them to let you kill Zathriane and the Elves.
There is a dialogue choice/persuade check when first speaking to the "Lady of the Forest" that basically says 'I have a better idea, Lets go attack and kill the Dalish' or something like that.
Then, go with the Lady of the Forest/Witherfang and kill those tree huggers!
Have Fun!

When you join the Werewolves, you must talk them into just going and slaughtering the elves. I think you need a level 2 or 3 persuade in order to get this to work. -Answer by:jayd0872
Do you get to fight him before he comes to his senses? if not you have to tell him that you are not going to help him kill whitherfang
A1: 

When someone offers to join your party, let them. DO this with all characters willing to join, and then you'll get your achievement.
A1: 

Going to camp will get rid of them, or use injury kits in the field - switch to control that character, use LT to pull up menu, go to potions, injury kit
A1: 

You cant delete characters in game, but you can go to the dashbord, then system, then memory, select DAO and you should see save files. the name of the character is on the file so just select and delete those files.
A1: 

No!
A1: 

Yes! I was a female elf and got it. She is by far the hardest to sleep with though. Good luck!
A1: 

You don't go INTO the shrine, it is used to activate a side quest. you go in the front door at the top of the stairs
A1: 

When you im came the dwarf's son can help you put the rune's on you sword/knife/axe . ask him to put them on for you and your done .. I dont think you pay for it.

Have you tried pressing the switch character button
A1: 

Other than the archdemon, I think GaxKang is definitely the hardest boss in the game. He is certainly challenging. My feeling is that you need to level up. I never usually handle him until the section of the game that is right before the landsmeet. Recruit the elves, the mages, the dwarves, and the Redcliff warriors, rescue Queen Anora, save the Alienage, and possibly go through the orphanage in the Alienage all in a quest to level up your character as far as possible. It might even be a good idea to do any possible side quests you have so you can level up even further. When I beat GaxKang on normal mode, I was a level 22 female elven mage. I brought Wynne along, Alistair, and Lelianna. Wynne should be healing support only. Set her tactics to where she can pop lyrrium potions when her mana gets low. The other character's tactics should be set to where they pop poultices when their health gets low. If one of the characters dies, quickly switch to Wynne and use revival to revive the fallen party member. Any accessories that prevent cold damage would also be a good idea, since he casts blizzard. It should be noted that the best weapons and armor you have available should be equipped on the characters. King Calian's armor is very good armor to have equipped on Alistair, which you can only get from the "Return to Ostagar" DLC. Other than that, the Juggernaut armor is a powerful piece of armor, which can be achieved in game through a quest. The Drake scale and Dragon scale armor are also great pieces of armor to have equipped. Keep hammering at him and healing when necessary, and, with enough perseverance, you should bring him down. Good luck!
