filed in Uncategorized on Jan.03, 2010
This is probably an off topic post after having so much fun with Dragon Age Origins. Readers who are not interested in gaming would want to skip this.
This is another quest that may be worth it if you play a sword and shield warrior. If not you can always give it to Alister.
This quest is otherwise known as the Keening Blade or Gaxkang quest. The reward is one of the best Tier 7 sword and shield in the game.
Keening Blade
Fade Wall
Apparently the Fade Wall is not a definite drop but the main thing is the keening blade.Other than Starfang this is the best sword in the game
How to get it
The quest will not start without first getting 3 entries in your Codex. They are at 3 seperate locations. Get the 3 of them recorded in your codex (Preferably with the Brceilian Forest last to complete) and you will be updated with a quest.

Codex part 2

Once you got all 3 codex and the quest is started. Go to Denerium Dirty Back Alley to a previously inaccessible house. There you will do battle with the fearsome Gaxkang.Alot of people ask about which of the back alley is this. If you look at your map its the one directly below The Pearl.And move over them, only one is called Dirty Back Alley. The others are called Dark Alley.

Trust me its worth it but its not easy. he switches between caster and fighter. i was level 23 when i fought him with rogue and its difficult consider i just killed everything in this game up till this point with ease.
Search his body and chest for the items.
