Go south to fight some Spiders then loot the pile of bones to the east for the Sash of the Tirashan .

Save Merin

Head north to find Darkspawn Emissaries attacking Merin. Defeat them and send Merin home then make your way north looting the pile of bones before finding Iwan’s body. Loot the body for the Golem Control Rod and continue down the path. Loot the pile of bones and continue east to a Golem, use the control rod.

Save Iwan

Head north and help Iwan take out some lowly Darkspawn. In the end you get a Golem Control Rod to be used on the Golem to the east. You should go back and check on Merin but he wasn’t so fortunate.

Go north and dismantle the Golems along the way then head west to fight a Darkspawn Emissary and an Ogre. Loot the pile of bones then go north to find a treasure cache , Lyrium-Laced Bilge Hoop , rubble , and chest - complex containing Zoey’s Battered Horde-Kickers . The Treasure Cache will contain the unique items Potency and sundarin Thunder if you chose to save Iwan but you get more gold out of saving Merin.
