How to unlock the A Secret Stitched Together achievement in Dragon Age: Origins - Definitive Guide
(Blue & Normal Aura) Group Heal - After activating the lyrium well (or cube), head out into the room you came from. Instead of going up the stairs, go north to a room with a bunch of skeletons. Return to the switch and deactivate it, then return to that room.
(Blue Aura) Stat Boost - After recruiting Brogan, continue Eastward till you get to a large room with 2 Twisted Sentinels and a Warped Watcher. Kill them and then open the center chest near the Watcher.
(Blue Aura) Flaming Weapons - Same room as the previous, in the Northwestern corner of the room, behind a broken wall with pillars.
(Purple & Green Auras) Tempest & Revival - After activating the purple switch, head to Darions first journal (just a bit past where Brogan was), there will be a door on the Northern wall, go in (you might wish to save). Use the switch in the room ahead, go towards the green switch and fight the Sentinels, once you finish, activate the green switch and open the chests.
(Red Aura) Stat Boost - After activating the red switch, continue till you reach the forge. Once you do, turn right and head North to a staircase leading up to a cave in.

If you want a chance against The Harvester, find these. They'll upgrade your golem. You'll have to do a fair amount of backtracking to get all six, but they're all either in plain sight or just off the main path. There are four types, Healing, Mechanics, Fire, and Lightning. Fire and Lightning give extra attacks to your golem. Healing allows it to heal your squad. Mechanics toughens up your golem. Find them all. They'll help out a ton.
Each note also requires a different lyrium switch to be flipped. Each switch corresponds to a different color (blue, purple, white, green, and red). Each color allows you to access doors or chests that are encased in the mist of the same color. The locations of each note can be found in this thread. Credit goes to Method for the list.

- After entering Amgarrak, there will be a room where you’ll be attacked by golems. On one end of the room, there are three chests that have a blue mist around them. You have to hit the switch to change the flow of lyrium to get to them. Backtrack and open the center chest for the first research note, Mechanics.
- On the opposite side of the same room is the next one. Head back for the blue lyrium switch, but go to the right near a purple flame. Inside this little alcove will be the next note, Fire.
- After activating the purple switch, go back to a door that was surrounded by purple fog. Go in and you’ll see a few golems with chests behind them. All of the chests are glowing green. Flip the switch on one side to return everything to normal and then flip the switch on the other side to get to the green chests. After returning things to normal, be prepared for a nasty fight with six or seven golems. With the exit from the room on your right, the first chest on the right has the third note, Lightning. The second chest on the left has the fourth, Healing.
- Near the first blue lyrium switch will be a room that is just off the main path. There will be two treasure chests at the end and golems lining both walls. The chest on the left is what you want, but you’ll have to go back to the normal world. Once you do, fight off the golems and get the fifth note, Healing.
- After breaking through the red mist , go down the stairs into the forge and take the first right. In the alcove will be a chest with the sixth and final note, Mechanics.
Each time you find such an entry, your golem will gain a new ability.
Entries are easy to find if you run around the locations with the LT button held down.
Press the button and inspect the location, if we see something, we approach and study.
Since the Golem is of little use in battle, I advise you to pump up his magic and mana so that he can heal the team with the “Group Healing” spell.
