How to unlock the Awakening achievement in Dragon Age: Origins - Definitive Guide
To get this achievement, quickly, you have to complete all the main plot quests, so basically go to, knotwood hills and follow the storyline and kill the broodmothers, the blackmarsh to kill the baroness and the wending woods to escape the silverite mines. After completing these, you will have the option to save Amaranthine and let the keep be destroyed, or to save the keep and destroy Amaranthine yourself. Whichever one you choose is irrelevant to this achievement. Finally after this you will arrive in the Dragonbone wastes, where you have to kill the mother. After doing this your achievement will pop
If you have a mage with Inferno/Tempest/Death Cloud/Blizzard, use them on Mother as much as possible. They'll take her out quick, just try to avoid friendly fire. If you have all 4, it'll be a breeze.
After saving either Amaranthine or the Keep, you'll be told where the Mother's Lair is. If you saved the Keep, it's "Lair of the Mother" on your map. If you saved Amaranthine, it's "Dragonbone Wastes" on your map. Whatever it's called, it's the only available location, so head there. Fight through the Darkspawn civil war, which includes a High Dragon. After the dragon is defeated, enter Drake's Fall. You'll have to make a choice of whether to help The Architect or not. Helping him gives you more help for the fight against the Mother. In Drake's Fall, activate the three towers by finding the 12 crystals. These are dropped by enemies, in chests or in flesh pods. The towers will give you another method to fight the Mother. Enter The Nest after making your way down. The Mother is very much like the Broodmother from Origins. Fight her the same way. Once you're done, ding!
