Dragon Age Origins Return to Ostagar: Adding the mabari hound to the team

Return to Ostagar gives you a second chance to add a mabari hound to your team. You've had your first chance in the early stages of the main campaign:

- if you were playing as a human noble you could add the mabari to your team during the prologue (Chaos in the pantry subquest)

- if you weren't playing as a human noble you could add the mabari to your team during your first visit to Ostagar (Mabari hound subquest)

If the dog is already one of your followers then nothing new will occur during your exploration of Ostagar's ruins. IF you've missed your first chance and you want to add the dog now you'll have to go to the mabari pens (M1, 8).

Before you'll have a chance to add the dog to your squad you'll have to get rid of enemy units present in the area. There are going to be two groups of monsters here and you'll trigger a cut-scene after defeating the second group led by a hurlock alpha. Listen to what your teammates have to say and choose the first option from the list to give the dog some food. You can then release the animal and if you've done everything correctly you'll add it to your team. Notice that the game will automatically show the team screen, allowing you to choose the hound right away.

It's important NOT to release the dog without giving it food, because it would run away!
