The Fruits of Pride in Dragon Age: Inquisition is one of the main quests in the storyline.
How to get the quest?
The task becomes available on the map after the quest branches are closed. There lies the Abyss and Evil Eyes and Evil Hearts. You need 40 influence points and at least 16 character level.
Before proceeding, also complete the tasks Close attention and Before dawn, otherwise they will not be available further.
Passing
Morrigan shows you the mysterious Eluvian portal mirror and what is behind it, at the crossroads of worlds. The theory immediately arises that the Coryphaus is looking for a second such mirror in the Arbor wilderness. After returning to the ordinary world, all troops are pulled there and a mark opens on the map, according to which you can go into the wilderness.
Immediately upon arrival, Morrigan will suggest that the enemy is looking for the Temple of Mital. After that, you need to move forward and, along the way, break the units of the Coryphaeus. On the way to the second checkpoint, you can find the camp of the Red Templars in the wilderness. There you can find a chest and a codex entry.
If you explore the entire territory with branches after the second checkpoint, you can find two more entries in the codex and Mkhamet's war hammer.
Everything is extremely simple here - we make our way through the enemies to the very temple.
Temple of Mital
Inside you will see a video in which the Coryphaus, inadvertently, launches a defense mechanism and dies, but is immediately reborn and sends a dragon to the Inquisitor. After running inside the castle, you get control over the hero again.
In the first room, a statue of Fen'Harel can be found, which gives another entry in the codex and opens a conversation with Morrigan about everything that is happening. On the way, you will find a certain area with cells - your task is to go through one cell only once and at the same time activate all of them.
In the next hall, the enemy is waiting for you, who has already found a workaround and descends into the depths of the temple. Actually, then you can follow the Lieutenant of the Coryphaus into the failure, but the best option would be to go to the end of the temple ritual.
Finish the ritual
There are three more puzzles of this type to solve, but much more difficult. A diagram of the passage of each of them is presented below.
First of three
Don't end the ritual
You get into the crypts. There are quite a lot of useful things here, secrets with a curtain of fire that will open several texts of the code, as well as armor and some gold. To get to the visitors' rooms, you need to go west through the southern rooms and then north - there you will find steps along which you will climb to the desired place.
Visitor rooms
Here you will meet the guardian of the temple named Abelas. During the conversation, you can either make peace or refuse and start a battle. If you did not go through the ritual, then there will be no option with the conclusion of peace.
One way or another, Abelas goes forward to destroy the source, and you make your way forward either simply or with a fight (depending on the choice).
Source of Sorrow
Once in the hall, you again meet with the lieutenant of the Coryphaeus. There will also be one overseer, who, depending on the choice, either fight on your side, or attack.
Important!
In the conversation, you can choose the option with the destruction of armor and weakening the enemy, if you have chosen the side of the magicians.
If you sided with the templars, then you can negotiate with the lieutenant without a fight.
If you have made an alliance, then you can persuade Abelas to retreat. Otherwise, he will attempt to destroy the well, during which Morrigan will kill the keeper.
Now you have to choose who will plunge into the source. It is worth clarifying that if the Inquisitor himself enters the source, then you will face a fight with a guardian dragon vulnerable to fire.
Immediately after the completion of the ritual, another attack of the Coryphaeus will occur, which you can avoid by hiding in the mirror.
Is a very big game. Only to complete the main quest can take from 40 to 60 hours, and if you take into account the secondary tasks, it becomes quite scary. On the way to the final goal, difficulties may arise, which will help our passage to solve. Just to begin with, let's clarify something.
... Dragon Age: Inquisition is a non-linear game. This means that a lot depends on your decisions, as well as on the gender and race of the Inquisitor. BioWare's new project has enough forks that will make your story different from ours.
... We only talk about the main quest. Yes, there are a lot of interesting tasks in Inquisition, but describing each of them would take an indecent amount of time. Therefore - only missions from the "Path of the Inquisitor" group.
... Dragon Age: Inquisition is not a quick run. In order to progress through the story, you need to earn points of influence (Power). The fastest way to do this is to complete a few minor quests. So even if you are not interested in the personal affairs of party members and quests to collect herbs and metals, sometimes you still have to do this.
... The text below contains spoilers. Let's try to do without unnecessary plot details, but ... THE KILLER IS A PALACE!
The Wrath of Heaven
The Dragon Age: Inquisition prologue is absolutely linear - even if you want to, you still don't get lost. Follow Kassandra, read the tips carefully and fight weak opponents. There shouldn't be any problems with all this. Soon the path will lead to the elf Solas and the dwarf Varric, your new companions.
After that, you will be taught how to use the tactical pause. In the future, this mode will come in handy more than once, especially at a high level of difficulty, so try to master it as early as possible.
Soon you will come to a rift - a place from where demons from the Shadow enter the real world. To close the gap between the dimensions, you must first destroy all opponents around. After defeating the demons, you need to touch the gap and wait a few seconds, after which it will close. During the passage of the game, you have to close such portals quite often.
After returning to the fortress, you will be presented with a choice: to go to the largest gap in a straight line or in a roundabout way. In the first case, you will get to the next location faster, in the second, you will be able to save the missing soldiers.
Regardless of the path you choose, you will soon find yourself at the ruins of a huge castle. Going down to the gap, you will start the battle with the first boss - Demon of Pride.
There shouldn't be any special difficulties: you will be helped not only by the party members, but also by the soldiers of the Inquisition. In the first phase, the boss is invulnerable - note that his health bar looks different than that of previously encountered monsters. To make the daemon vulnerable, a rip must be used. Let the boss be distracted by the allies, and you press the action button next to the portal. After a couple of seconds, an explosion will thunder and the demon will fall to its knees - then hit it. After a while, it will become impenetrable again - you already know how to fix this. When lesser demons begin to appear on the battlefield, first deal with them, and then interact with the gap.
The Threat Remains
After resting after the battle, go outside. Head towards the church following the sign. Go to the Command Headquarters and complete the game prologue.
After that, you will have time to get comfortable at the headquarters. Use it to learn blacksmithing, talk to your companions, remember the location of the key NPCs. When finished, return to the church. From here you can go to the next location - the Hinterlands in the kingdom of Ferelden. To do this, you can use the command rate or the world map.
A huge number of quests await in the Hinterlands - here you can spend up to 12 hours! Therefore, if you do not want to get confused, mark your priority quests in the journal - then a special beacon will tell you where to go. If you plan to advance on the main task as soon as possible ("The Path of the Inquisitor"), then mark it in the list of quests.
Follow the sign. Soon you will stumble upon a detachment of the Inquisition, which is fighting off the rebellious magicians and templars. They will need your help. After that, you will be invited to a large camp - the main stronghold of the Inquisition in the Hinterlands. Here you need to talk to Giselle's mother, who will send the heroes to a new location.
You can stay in the Hinterlands and get busy completing quests - there are enough of them to earn several levels. Otherwise, return to Command Headquarters and head to Val Royeaux.
Here again the pointer will help you - follow the beacon. There are very few things to do in this location: after reaching the indicated place, watch the video, meet the templars and then head towards the exit. Before leaving for the headquarters, the spellcaster, the head of the magicians, will speak to you.
Very soon you will have to choose between templars and magicians. Two quests will be available at the command rate: In Hushed Whispers ("Secret") and Champions of The Just ("Defenders of justice"). Selecting one of them makes the execution of the second unavailable. Complete Champions of The Just to convince the Templars to join the Inquisition, or In Hushed Whispers if you value the help of mages. In our walkthrough, we chose to support the wizards, but you are free to do otherwise.
In Hushed Whispers
Travel to the Hinterlands. Here you need to get to the city of Redcliffe, located in the north of the location. There will be another gap in front of the city gates - deal with it, and you will be allowed behind the walls. Find a tavern in Redcliffe, talk to the sorceress and proceed to the new meeting place - it is very close.
Here you will meet Dorian, one of the potential companions. Close the gap, listen to the mage and go to the headquarters. Here you have to talk with advisers and finally decide who will be more useful allies - magicians or templars. This is the last chance to change your mind.
If you still plan to be friends with wizards, then return to Radcliffe using the command table. Dorian will definitely be in the party, and you can allocate the two remaining slots to other heroes.
What happens next, we will not tell - this is a spoiler. Let's just say that after the cutscenes you and Dorian will find yourself in dungeon. As soon as you regain control, pump the abilities of the magician so that in battle he helps you with spells.
Since you are left alone, move through the dungeon with caution. There are few enemies here, but they do decent damage. It will be easiest if you play as a "tank" warrior. More difficult - if for a melee rogue. Be extra careful when playing as an archer or mage.
Following the markers, you will soon reach a fork. Three points will be marked on the map: two of them indicate the party members who need to be released from prison, and the third will lead you to the sorceress Fiona. First of all, get to the lost allies - the four of them will be much easier. After talking with Fiona, the next part of the task will open - follow the new marker.
To replenish stocks of health potions, look for special storage (they look like boxes with different bottles). New markers will appear on the map that need to be examined. You can freely move within the location and visit targets in any order. Please note that there are several levels in this area, so some areas can only be reached by stairs.
Soon you will stumble upon a locked door. To open it, you need to collect five pieces of red lyrium. Their location is marked on the map. Once you've collected all five, restock your potions and get ready for a boss fight. Alexius.
Alexius uses offensive spells, puts a shield on himself and teleports around the room. In general, the battle with him is simple: let the warrior divert the boss's attention to himself, while the rest of the party members inflict maximum damage. When he has half his health left, Alexius will disappear, but a gap will appear in the room - you already know what to do with him. Once you close the gap, the boss will return to the battlefield. He will repeat the fade trick at a quarter health.
Will burn in our hearts ... / In Your Heart Shall Burn
After returning to the base, you will be able to chat with allies, get or even complete several tasks, and so on - use this time to complete the case in the Heaven. Please note that you will not return here again.
After activating the next story mission, you will see several cutscenes. Shortly after you regain control of the character, you will meet Cole, another potential party member. It will appear only if you have chosen to help magicians. Otherwise, Dorian will replace him, and you will meet Cole during the mission for the Templars. Depending on the choice of the side, opponents also change: either magicians or templars will attack you.
In this case, the tasks will be the same. Follow the markers, destroying opponents. You will need to defend one trebuchet and capture another. After that, you will be asked to return to the Hideout. Along the way, you can save several characters, which will bring additional experience. After reaching the church, watch the video and return to the battlefield.
Now you need to aim the trebuchet. At the same time, opponents will interfere with the heroes - we advise you to first kill them all and only then take up the guidance. At some point, a boss will appear - a knight Danam.
First, deal with his retinue - a gang of demons. After that, order your "tank" to distract the boss by itself: the monster has quite powerful attacks that leave no chance for the mages of the squad. Keep vulnerable allies behind the boss to minimize damage to them. At 75, 50 and 25 percent of his health, Danam will remove all negative effects from himself and establish a powerful barrier. The battle can be long, but as long as the "tank" holds the defense, distracts the enemy and drinks potions, there is nothing to worry about.
After defeating Denam, a long cutscene will be shown. When you can control your hero again, follow the signs - the path is absolutely linear. Soon you will be taught how to use a new ability, and then the hero will find himself in a snowy desert during a storm. Just go forward and slightly to the right.
From the Ashes
This part of the main quest is very short. You will be offered to walk around the new fortress, explore its main premises and chat with allies. Some sections of Skyhold will be locked - you can visit them on your next visit to the castle.
After talking with Josephine and Varrick, two main quests will open: Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts and Here Lies the Abyss. They can be performed in any order. Before leaving for one of them, we strongly recommend that you talk to all party members - you will see and learn a lot of interesting things.
Here Lies the Abyss
After talking with Varric's friend, you will gain access to a new location - Crestwood. Go to the meeting with the informant. Walk along the coast until you come across a cave - you will go there.
After the conversation, your path lies in another location, the Western Approach. Follow the directions on the marker. On the spot, you will be shown a cut-scene, followed by a battle with a horde of demons. Due to the relatively small size of the battle arena, it will be useful here to use the spell "Mark of the Rift" (Mark of the Rift). After finishing the fight, return to Skyhold.
From the command headquarters, go to Orlais to continue the mission. Before that, we strongly recommend that you deal with the party's equipment and free up space in your inventory, since you will not be returning to Skyhold soon.
The marker will guide you through the battlefield. Soon you will receive an optional task - to help the troops of the Inquisition in the battle. It is necessary to destroy three detachments of the Gray Guards, which are assisted by demons. For completing this objective, you will gain access to a chest with valuable loot.
Soon you will face a large crowd of enemies led by the Demon of Pride. First, deal with small opponents, and then take on the mini-boss. Keep vulnerable heroes away from his electric whips. The fight is complicated by a huge dragon, which periodically unleashes spells on your party. Try to disperse allies in the arena to minimize damage.
The marker will not let you get lost here. We advise you to carefully monitor the radar: its glow means that somewhere nearby there is an object needed to complete the quest Fears of the Dreamers ("Fears of dreamers"). In the northern part of the first zone, try to find a human skeleton and switch to search mode - this will initiate an additional task. The other four items are located in other areas of the location. It can only be completed until the end of this section of the game.
To restore your memories, kill the demons and press the action button next to their bodies. To advance in this location, you have to repeat this trick several times. The episode is generally linear - move forward until you face the boss, A nightmare.
Get ready for intense combat. Nightmare has a lot of health and powerful attacks. From time to time he will summon spiders, which must be quickly destroyed - otherwise they will be overwhelmed with numbers. Let the "tank" hold the boss's attention while the rest are busy with his minions. As soon as there is respite from small enemies, use the most powerful abilities on the Nightmare. At 25% health, the boss will summon strong demons to help - this is the best time to use the Mark of the Rift ability. Return to Skyhold after the victory.
Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts
In this mission, two things are more important than ever: the composition of the party and the choice of the correct lines in the dialogues. We recommend that you group at least one mage with the Barrier ability, as health potions will be in short supply. When communicating with the nobility, try not to say anything harsh or rude - flatter and agree. And, yes: before starting the mission, save the game to a separate slot.
The specificity of this task is that you will need to turn into a secular lion for a while. Good behavior, courtesy, and small favors for guests will increase the Inquisitor's rating. Long absence or dubious statements downgrade him. When it drops to zero, you will be kicked out of the ball and the mission will fail. So don't miss out on an opportunity to improve your rankings.
The location has something to do besides the main mission. You can collect figurines that open access to loot chests, search for incriminating evidence and much more. At the very beginning of the location, you can help the lady at the gate, who has lost something. The disappearance is at the fountain - use the search mode. By returning it, you will increase your rating - this will be enough for a start.
The marker will indicate the path and characters to talk to. After the official presentation, there will be an opportunity to communicate with the allies and study the situation. When finished, head to the lobby and proceed to the guest rooms. Find the "Hall of Heroes", go through it and exit from the west side. Follow the corridor until you reach the fountain. Here you need to climb to the second floor using a grid on the wall.
Once you're out of sight of the public, your rating will slowly diminish, so act quickly. The marker will mark the area to be searched. When finished, go down the stairs to the library and switch to search mode. After finding the evidence, return to the ball. Don't miss the opportunity to raise your rating a bit: only go to the ballroom after the second bell is struck - you know it's always a little late, right?
You will receive the Servant Wing Key. You can get there through the lower floor of the Hall of Heroes. Companions will join you at the entrance - do not forget to change their dress clothes for battle gear. You must have at least 10 rating points: every minute you will be deducted one point, so do not hesitate and deal with opponents quickly. Follow the trail of blood and corpses, and soon you will face the killer. After the battle and cutscene, return to the ball.
The Duchess will invite you to dance. Be as polite as possible - we advise you to always choose the right answer. After talking with the Duchess, you will have the last opportunity to turn in compromising evidence to Leliana.
Soon you will come to another rift, opened in the courtyard of the castle. Destroy the human enemies first, and then deal with the demons. The second wave of opponents will be much stronger than the first, so get ready. After that, you will be shown several cut-scenes, they will give you one important decision, and then you will be sent to the battle with the final boss of the location, the same duchess.
First, get rid of her minions. Let the mages put a shield on the party members at the first opportunity. The boss will teleport around the arena - try not to lose sight of it. When the duchess's health drops to 50%, she will summon assistants - deal with them as quickly as possible. Otherwise, this is a fight without surprises.
What Pride Had Wrought
As always, go on a mission through the command headquarters. In the first part of the assignment, all you need to do is follow the markers and fight off enemy troops. You will soon reach the ancient temple.
After reaching the large locked door, you will receive the task to conduct the ritual. This can be done at the statue on the lower level of the hall. You need to walk on special stoves in order to light them all. You cannot step on plates that have already been activated. The first puzzle shouldn't be a problem - it's pretty simple. After opening the door, proceed deep into the temple.
After the video, you will have a choice: immediately go after the enemies or observe the traditions of the elves and perform four rituals. In the first case, you will have to fight not only with the villain's henchmen, but also with the guards of the temple. In the second case, they will offer four puzzles with plates: by solving them, you will receive the support of the elves and fight with an alternative boss of the location.
After making your choice, follow the markers on the minimap. If you have completed the rituals, you can team up with the guards against the invaders. In this case, you will be given a guide who will show you the way through the location to the boss. If you decide to ignore tradition, then get ready to fight with both elves and templars. You will need to make the path through the maze yourself - watch the radar and use the search mode.
You will face the boss shortly. Depending on the past choice, it will be or Samson(if you chose mages as your allies), or Calperia(if you preferred templars).
Samson only attacks melee. He is assisted by minions, which should be disposed of immediately. When the boss starts spinning, withdraw the fighters. Disperse allies across the battlefield so that Samson's attacks do not hit several heroes at once. Take advantage of the tactical pause - party members are not always good at choosing targets, especially at the beginning of the battle.
Calperia often places fire runes on the floor - you need to run away from them and take allies away from there. She loves to teleport, is immune to stun, paralysis, and fear, and has high fire resistance. Lightning and cold are your best friends in this battle.
The Final Piece
A very short mission. Go to the altar through the command headquarters. If in the last assignment you allowed your companion to drink from the Well of Sorrow, then you only have to talk to someone. Otherwise, a dragon boss battle awaits you.
If the "tank" distracts the monster's attention to itself, and the ranged fighters do not crawl under the paws and tail of the monster, the battle will pass without any problems. We recommend that you abandon fire attacks, because they do very little damage to the creature. Cold, on the other hand, is very effective. You need to reduce the dragon's health to half, after which the cutscene will begin.
Doom Upon All the World
It's time for the final battle. We recommend that you make a separate save before starting the final mission. You will be able to complete some of the remaining quests after it, however, some of the content will not be available. So if you plan to explore Inquisition inside and out, this is your last chance.
Take at least one mage with the "Barrier" to the battle with the Coryphaeus, and preferably two at once. The boss deals a lot of damage, is immune to status effects and has a huge pool of health, so get ready for a long battle. In the first phase, the villain will summon demons, move around the arena and attack with powerful spells. "Barrier" and health potions will help keep the party on its feet.
After some time, the Coryphaus will move to a new arena - follow him. Don't forget to restock your potions along the way. The second phase is almost no different from the first. Except that the situation is different.
When the boss is at half health, he will be replaced by a huge lyrium dragon. As always, let the Shield Warrior distract the boss while the ranged heroes damage him. Focus the fire on the monster's paws to slow it down. Focus on healing and protecting heroes with melee weapons: do not spare potions and apply Barrier to them. Let the party spread out across the arena so that the dragon's fiery breath is not so dangerous. Don't forget the tactical pause.
Having finished with the dragon, switch back to the Coryphaeus. In the final stage of the battle, he will teleport much more often. In his arsenal there will be spells that cause damage to the entire squad. "Barrier" and healing potions will help you.
Actually, this is where the main campaign of Dragon Age: Inquisition ends, congratulations! One final tip: don't miss the post-credits scene!
After creating your character and watching the introductory cutscene, follow Cassandra's directions. Especially there will be nowhere to turn. Falling from the collapsed bridge, our hero and Kassandra will be attacked by the first enemies, and we will find our first weapon. For a single attack, click on the enemy [LMB], and for a series of attacks, keep the button pressed. You can pause the game by pressing and also switch to tactical mode by pressing [t] to issue orders to everyone in the group.
Having won the victory, we go along the frozen river, climb the hill at the end and jump down from the cliff again to the frozen river. Having defeated the next enemies, we go along the river and climb the steps near the wall. We go straight and again we go down to the frozen river. Further up the stairs. We go to the gap. There is already a battle going on, you only need to help, and when there are no enemies left, we watch the cut-scene. Now there are four of you in the squad. Having reached the wide river, we go to the other side, to the ruins, then along the stairs and the road of stones. Climbing the steps, another gap awaits you. In order to close it, you need to destroy several waves of enemies. After that, we approach the gap closer and click on it [RMB].
We open the gate and find ourselves on the bridge. We go to Leliana and the representative of the church. An unpleasant conversation will begin, at the end of which you will be offered several options for further passage. I recommend choosing the option “Go over the mountain” rather than “Go straight ahead with the soldiers”, because in the first case, you will be able to save the soldiers who have disappeared (in the near future you will be able to feel the bonus from this decision). We climb the stairs to the very top and go into the building in the mountain. Coming out on the other side, you will need to close another gap. After that, there will be a cut-scene in which the missing soldiers will thank for the rescue. We pass further and go down the stairs. Move on until we get to the primary big rip. Here you will be confronted by the first boss - the demon of pride, and if you saved the soldiers, they will help to defeat him.
As soon as the battle begins, you will understand that the demon has a protective aura, and he does not receive any damage. To weaken the defense, we close the gap. Now you can safely attack him. As soon as you see that the demon has protection again, close the gap again as soon as the opportunity arises and start attacking. Then we repeat until the demon is defeated. When he has 50% health remaining, other evil spirits will begin to appear from the gap, so it will be possible to close the gap only if you first interrupt all the newly arrived enemies. The same will happen at 25% health. As soon as we kill the demon, watch the cut-scene. That's it, the first chapter is over.
The danger has not passed
When you wake up, leave the hut. You will find yourself in the village. All exits from it are closed, so we go to the church on the hill to the left.
There we go into the farthest door and watch the cut-scene. You will need this room more than once, because the headquarters of the command will be located here. Then we leave the building and talk with the right people (quest "The Best in the Shelter"). We can immediately complete the additional tasks that they give. Then we return to the command headquarters and use the gained point of influence on the exploration of the area, where we need to find the Reverend Mother Giselle. In the future, this table can also be used to open new locations using influence points and send advisers on tasks to earn money for the Inquisition. We leave for an open area and find ourselves in deep paths. Focusing on the map (key [ m ]), go northwest, to the area marked with a purple circle. You will need to defeat several waves of enemies together with a detachment of the Inquisition. As soon as you do this, the next cutscene will begin.
Now you can either continue to complete side quests on the territory of the inner lands, or go to the headquarters of the command before proceeding further through the story. Remember that for each completed additional task, setting up a camp, opening new areas of the territory, influence points will be awarded, which can be spent on exploration, or the level of the Inquisition will increase. In order to return to the shelter, open the map and go to the world map (the button in the upper left corner), then select the shelter. Mother Giselle will be waiting for you in the church. Go to her and talk. You can also take the quest "Lotus and Roots" from her. We go to the headquarters and activate the mission "Enter the Church of Val Royeaux."
Having got to the right place, we go to the square, where we observe a cut-scene, after which the task "Defenders of Justice" is activated. Then we go to the street along which we came here. Here we will be greeted by the Great Enchantress Fiona, and the "Secret" quest will begin. We return to the Shelter, to the Headquarters of the command, This is where the quest ends.
Defenders of Justice
To start a mission, you need to scout a specific area on the command headquarters table. To do this, you must first gain 15 influence points. They are obtained by completing additional tasks. However, remember that if you started this task, then the mission with mages will be unavailable, and vice versa. So, if you nevertheless decided that the templars are more suitable replenishment of the ranks of the Inquisition, then we choose the mission and go to meet with the templars.
We watch the cut-scene. Then we approach the knight-templar Barris, who came out to meet us, and watch the next cut-scene. Next, we will be asked to hang flags in the order of respect. You can either agree and complete the proposed test, or refuse and go straight to the appointment. We approach Barris again. After the cut-scene we deal with the enemies, then we go out into the street and, following the markers, we go upstairs through the dining room to the desired door.
There we meet the Lord Seeker, who has prepared a surprise for us. Now we need to find a way out of the place where we ended up. The location is quite linear, so just walk past the mini-performances. When you reach a place where green dangerous liquid will pour from the rotating columns, first go to the right, go forward past the conversations. Wait for the column to turn so that you can move to the other side of the room, to a safe corner. There we go a little forward again and then follow into the room on the opposite side. When we go inside, the door will close. As soon as we try to get out, a conversation with a stranger begins. Then we do not rush to follow him, but go into the room on the opposite side and read the inscription on a large stone. He will give us a bonus to the characteristics, and at the location it will be possible to find two more of these (the mission is called "Demonic Dogma").
When a new companion turns what is pouring from the columns into water, we pass on. When we reach a dead end, we go into the room on the right. Our stranger will be there again. After a short conversation, we approach the blue fire nearby and light a torch from it. Next, we light more lights in three rooms on the sides of this room. Further, for the passage of the side quest "Demonic Dogma", we go with a torch in our hands to the very beginning of the location, into a room with gratings, and open the cell to the left. There we take the key (it is visible only by the light of a torch). Then we return to the dead end and light a fire at the far stone wall. The wall will move aside, and we pass on. Next, we approach the door on the right, which we unlock with the found key. We light a fire there. Leaving the room, we again ignite the fire on the stone wall. After it moves away, we go into the room and read the inscription again, after which we get another bonus to the characteristics. Then we leave and go to the room to the right. Approaching the door, a passage will open up. Then we open the door and we pass along the street to the passages closed by bars. We pull the lever between them and the path further becomes open. Then, along the familiar path through the dining room, we go to our goal. In the dining room itself on the second floor there will be the third and last stone for the quest "Demonic Dogma". Having reached the designated place, we watch the video. Then we go through the southern door to the upper barracks. Here we need to rescue two veteran Templars. Remember that in the upper right corner there is a ticking time after which the main hall will fall. Therefore, when there is less than half of this scale, someone from the team will remind you that it is worth coming back and help (if the scale drops approximately up to 30%, then Barris will die later). Therefore, the most reliable solution would be to save one at a time, i.e. rescue one veteran, then return to the main hall. After interrupting the enemies, we wait until the scale is restored, again exit through the southern door, save another templar and return back to Barris and help him and the rest of the templars to destroy the enemies.
Then we leave through the north door and, leaving the courtyard, go to the right into the tower on the opposite side. There we go up to the second floor and save another veteran. Then we can return back to the main hall or, if time permits, go to another tower marked with a marker, which can be entered from the courtyard. However, to get there, you need a key. We take him away in the room, which is located between these two towers, under the place where we saved the third templar. After taking the key and opening the door to the vault with it, we examine the lyrium directly opposite, then go up the stairs and read the notes, then we take the lyrium from the blue chest next to it.
We return to the main hall, kill the enemies and talk to Barris. A cut-scene will begin, after which you will have to fight off several waves of enemies. Then we go up the stairs and go out to the balcony, marked with a marker. There you will have to fight the demon of envy.
He, like great horrors similar to him, loves to hide under the ground and then jump out in the midst of party members, knocking them down. It is immune to the effects of spells and effects that affect its combat capability, i.e. slowing it down or turning it off for a while will not work. At 70% health, the demon will call for help, and he himself will change shape and restore health. Here it is better to first deal with the enemies easier, and then take on the boss. At 30% of his health bar, the demon will return to its original form. When his health is low, green rip thorns will start popping out of the ground, which should be avoided. After defeating the demon, we return to the main hall. Before entering it, we talk with the templars and make a choice at our discretion. Then we find ourselves at the headquarters of the command, where we discuss what happened and what to do next.
By secret
We go to the Hinterlands, to Redcliffe, where Fiona invited us. There will be a gap in front of the gate, after the closure of which we will be allowed inside. At the entrance we will be greeted and offered to go to the tavern. After the cut-scene in the tavern, we go to the church. We close the gap and talk to the magician. We return to the headquarters and here there will be two missions to choose from on the map: "Defenders of Justice" and "Secret". By choosing one, the other will become unavailable, so this is the last chance to decide who is better suited to help close the gap - mages or templars. If you have chosen the side of the magicians, we activate the necessary task on the table of the command headquarters and go back to Redcliffe. Only two party members can be selected in the squad. Our new acquaintance will act as the third one. After the cut-scene, we first collect our allies - the four of us will fight much easier. To do this, leaving the room with the raised bridge, we go to the right. Then we return back to the raised bridge and go to the door opposite. After talking with Fiona, we get a new target. This time the bridge goes down and we pass on it further. We follow the markers and close the gaps along the way. After reaching the locked door, we are looking for 5 shards of red lyrium in the marked with markers on the map. They will drop from slain spellcasters. After collecting everything and replenishing the supply of potions in the caches, we open the door. After the video, we deal with the boss. At 60%, he will open a gap, and he will hide behind an impenetrable shield. Having dealt with the gap, we again attack the boss, which is approximately will repeat its focus for 30% of its remaining health. After the murder, we watch the video, at the end of which we make a decision regarding the magicians.
Will burn in your hearts ...
The quest automatically starts after completing the "Defenders of Justice" or "In Secret" quests, depending on your choice. You need to go to the headquarters table. There, on the map, select the task of the same name. We watch a long video, go to the gate and meet a new party member. Who it will be depends on what mission you chose before. It also depends on this choice who will make up the army attacking the Shelter. Next, we need to defend the northern trebuchet. To do this, go to the marker on the map and kill the enemies arriving in waves for a certain time (shown by the scale). As soon as it is full, the trebuchet will shoot, and we will have to go to the southern trebuchet. Focusing on the marker, go to the desired area and kill all the enemies there. Then we approach the trebuchet and cock it, while holding down [RMB] on the active element.
After that, as soon as the shot takes place and the video passes, we go back to the shelter. Along the way, you can help the blacksmith Harrit. To do this, we break the boxes with a warrior or a robber with daggers (just click on them [LMB]), blocking the entrance to his house. Then we go through the gate. Now we are offered to save the inhabitants of the Vault. You can save them all if you follow the following algorithm: first, after going up the steps immediately after the gate, we go to the right and there we kill all the enemies, controlling the health of allies. So we save Lisette. Then we leave back and, if the gate is on the left, then we need to go to the right, towards the church. Climbing the stairs, we again kill all enemies. The guard will say that someone needs help. To the left of the stairs we just climbed, if you stand with your back to it, there will be a burning hut. Inside it is a person who cannot get out on his own. We choose a warrior or a robber with daggers and climb the vertical stairs to the ledge. A small bridge will be thrown from it to a hole on the roof of the building.
Through it we get inside and break the boxes blocking the passage. Then, without leaving the hut, we approach the poor fellow and, holding down [LMB], save Seggrit. Then we leave the hut and along the steps located immediately to the left we pass to the Church. Here you will have to save Trenn by killing all the enemies. Then we pass to the houses where Solas stood. In this case, do not go down the stairs, but go along the narrow path from the side of the church. Here it is necessary to have time to save Adan and Mineva, before the vessels located next to them exploded. To do this, we approach them and hold [RMB] until they thank them. Then we go down the stairs and go to the burning house, where Fliss lies in the passage. We act with her in the same way as Adan, Mineva and Seggrit. Below is a video showing how everyone can be saved:
Then, having killed the enemies, we go to the church. After the cut-scene, we go to the place indicated by the marker. There we kill all the enemies, and then aim the trebuchet, while holding down [LMB] on its active element. Aiming at about 20%, another batch of enemies will arrive. Then we aim the trebuchet again, and you will be interrupted by 40% again. Then continue aiming the trebuchet, and a mini-boss will appear at about 60%. Who - will depend on your choice of the previous assignment. Finally pointing the trebuchet, we watch the video. After waking up, we go along the only possible way through the tunnel. On the way, you will encounter a small group of enemies, to deal with which you will be offered a new ability. Having got out, we go in the direction of the marker, and then we watch a long epic video.
From the ash
After the cutscene, we examine the castle, talk with fellow party members, and perform side missions. They will also offer to find a blacksmith and choose a specialization. The blacksmith is in the basement (the door to the right of the throne, if you stand to him and the window behind him, facing). To choose a specialization, we visit the command headquarters table and carry out a mission there in Ferelden, which implies the search for teachers. Then we just talk to everyone and choose a specialization. Then we go to Josephine and Varric, after which we will be given the quests "Evil eyes and evil hearts" and "There lies the Abyss", which can be performed in any order.
Evil eyes and evil hearts
IMPORTANT: There are a limited number of gall figurines. Finding eleven pieces is described here. They will not be able to open all the doors, so choose what you need.
If you take Sera on a mission, then after talking to her, she will mark three caches of Red Jenny, caches are marked on the map.
Even if at the same eavesdropping point three times nothing interesting could be eavesdropped, gossip may still be added on the fourth.
And unload your backpack, there is a lot of junk in the location.
So, our mission begins in the courtyard. After talking with Gaspar, let's stay here for a bit. The noblewoman is looking for her ring, it is located to the right of the entrance to the garden, is looked for as a treasure, we return it to her and get +5 to the location of the yard, but we can keep it for ourselves if we need money. To the right, in front of the entrance to the palace, there is a locked Eastern vault, a galla figurine for opening which is located on the terrace above it. There are some things inside. Then we go to the left of the entrance, go up the stairs, here the task is to overhear the conversation of the aristocrats, first address them, then, when they step aside, overhear the conversation from the point. On this terrace we find the key to the vault. Under the terrace there is a room in which there are two treasures at once, scandalous documents on the table (the first gossip) and the first caprice coin in pots opposite.
We go into the palace. After talking with Josephine, we find ourselves in the lobby. There are two eavesdropping points here, in one we learn something new (+1 gossip). We turn to Gaspar and go to the ballroom. Greetings to Empress Celina, in the dialogue choose medium lines (+5 to the location). Here you can chat with Josephine and Cullen and take the record about the Orlesian theater in the codex, then we leave the hall and find ourselves in a dialogue with Leliana. We run down the corridor, listening to the conversation of the elves on the plot. Further to the left, there are two points for gossip, in one there is something interesting (+1 gossip). The Vassal from the Council of Heralds also walks here, if in a conversation with him select the replica "Philip is a fool" we get +10 to the location of the court and +1 gossip. Duke Germain is standing in the room, asking him to get +5 to the location, +1 gossip. Also hidden in this room is a whimsical coin and a codex entry. We pass further, listen to the dialogue of the elves. Now we need to find a round seal, we take it from the balcony of the room where the elves are. We leave into the guest garden.
After the conversation, we go straight, there is a locked door, we need statuettes of a gall, to the left of the door is the point where we get +1 gossip. There is also another point to the right of the entrance. There is also a fountain where you need to throw off the collected coins (for each coin thrown +1 to the location of the yard). In the meantime, we will go up the lattice. The galla figurine is on the right on the terrace, just stands on the railing, a little further there is a treasure with +1 gossip. We go to the library. Here is a small puzzle, you need to light the urns with a torch with a curtain fire so that they light up blue (starting from the entrance, first the right, then the left row, a descent will open down, there are some trophies). In this room, a book is marked with a treasure, by pulling which the study will open, in it we take a letter and a curtain fire. We pass into the library itself. Going down the stairs, the door to the right is opened only by a robber, to the left in the office there are documents on the table (+1 gossip). Next to the locked door on the bookshelf is a treasure with clues. In the library on the table we take away +1 more gossip. We leave through the door to the lobby, so as not to lose much influence. Now we need to go up there again, to the left of the grate. There is a door that we will open with a galla. Let's run at first a little further along the balcony, we will eavesdrop on the conversation of two nobles below (+1 gossip). After that, you can talk to him, say that "the magicians need to be stopped" and he will be recruited as an agent. At the point to the left of the exit, we listen to gossip (+1) and go to the ballroom. This is followed by a dialogue with Morrigan, after which we receive the key from the human. You can chat and flirt with Cassandra (if you took her with you), overhear the gossip in front of the left and go to this human.
There we change into armor, we take weapons. There is a battered diary in the room to the right. In the kitchen, on the beams under the ceiling, there is a statuette of a galla. In the garden, immediately to the left to the wall, there is a treasure with another statuette of a galla. At the fountain to the right, along the stairs to the top of the palace, there, in the room with the bed, we find another statuette of a Gaul, and on the balcony there is a whim. In the noble chambers in the large hall (from the fountain to the left), on a table under a candlestick, there is a caprice coin. We go up to the upper floor and go left, there are enough figurines to get into the storage in the bedroom and take the quest elven amulet from there. We go to the marker, deal with the group of venatori and talk with Briala. There is also another galla statuette. We return to the palace.
We need to explore the Trophy Room. But first, to the ball, so as not to lose the favor at court. Floriana invites us to dance there. In dialogues, we choose neutral (medium) answers. If the perks of the Inquisition for conversations in diplomacy and secrets are taken, two corresponding replicas will appear (in a circle with a crown and a crow). After that, we talk about possible scenarios with advisors. We say that we need more information. Before leaving for the Imperial Wing, let's finish collecting all the items.
In the ballroom next to Josephine, there is a whim of a coin on the railing. We go to talk with three ladies-in-waiting, we can talk to Selina about the amulet we found, then we talk with Briala. You can also talk to the widow by choosing a replica with a crown (you need a perk), we get access to the task (Dancing with the widow: allemand and +5 courtyard location). Further along this side is a treasure with a coin. We go out into the lobby, a whim in front of the railing where the window is. Down the stairs and to the left - gossip (treasure on the bench).
We return to the Hall of Trophies. We talk with the nobles standing at his entrance, send them to Cullen to listen to stories about the battle, we get +10 location. Inside we find: one gossip and one whimsical coin (treasures in the first room), from the table in the office we take orders and a statuette of a Gaul. There is also a door in the office, which can only be opened by a robber.
Downstairs in the hall of heroes (where the entrance to the room is) one coin and one gossip. In the room, where the exit to the Guest Garden, there is another gossip to the door, in the room with the Duke Germain there is another, further on the table and on the sofa there are two more. In the room with the balcony there is coin and gossip. On the balcony there are two gossip hiding places and a listening point. We go to the library, there we find more documents on the table. We go down to the fountain, to the right of the door with the Gauls, there is one more gossip. Up the grate to the left in front of the door is a coin.
We leave for the imperial wing. On the table on the left is gossip. We go up, run past the room for which the statues of the gall are required, we run straight and save the elf, we send her under the protection of Cullen. In the same room we take away the galla statuette. We run further along the marker, only we do not go to the door to which he points, but on the contrary.
We run along the open terrace above the garden and climb into the window of some class. There are treasures with a galla statuette and a whim coin. The tenth statuette is to the right of the quest door, down the stairs.
We will continue to search these chambers. In another room there is a statuette of a Gaul (already eleventh), next to the armchair by the fireplace, and there is also gossip.
Now we can unlock that door in the garden, go back through the lobby of the palace and run to the fountain. We take the Orley Banner there. Also there you can talk to another count from Orlais. And we also find a whim there.
We return to the Imperial Wing and go out into the garden. Here, it seems, is the point of no return. After talking with Floriana and closing the Gap, we talk with the mercenary, if there is a perk in Secrets, we recruit him as an agent.
Well, then, we ransack the location, collect everything of value, we come across good sketches of the 3rd level. There are two more doors in the basement, opened by four figurines. And we return to the ballroom where we make a choice of whom to execute, whom to pardon.
There lies the Abyss
We go to the meeting place designated by Varric's friend in Crestwood (to open this area, you should perform the "Search Guardian" operation at the command headquarters). After talking with him, we go into the cave and go through to the very end. After talking with another new acquaintance, we return to Skyhold and on the table of the headquarters of the command open the location "Western limit" ("Explore the Western limit").
We get to the desired structure and after the cut-scene we kill everyone there. We again return to the headquarters of the command. There we select the task "There is an abyss" and we find ourselves in the fortress of the guards. Having walked a little along the only possible path, we look at how gray guards are fighting with demons to the right of us, a little below. We can help them. We go even further and here, having already climbed the wall, we help our soldiers in the battle with the demons, thereby completing the first part of the necessary three in the task of capturing siege points.
We pass further in the only possible direction, and then we meet the demon of pride. Having dealt with him, we will capture one more point from the side mission. There will also be a chest with the banner of the gray guards. Without going down, we pass along the wall to the right. There we kill another demon of pride and smaller enemies and complete the side quest. Then we return a little back, and before the place where we met the first demon of pride, we go down. We follow the markers, destroying the demons along the way. After the cut-scene, we go up to the very top, not paying attention to the dragon that will attack you - you still won't be able to kill him. After the spectacular video, we find ourselves in a new place. Here, in parallel, you can complete the additional task "Fears of dreamers". To do this, we go south. There will be a table and a chair with a glowing orange ghost sitting on it.
We approach and activate the table. Then a marker will appear on the map. Using the intelligence key [ v ], we find a candle and assign it to a ghost. After that, we take the reward, and new places of riddles, of which there are five in total, together with the already solved five, will be displayed on the map. They will need to be performed in the same way. Also, if you walk along the northern wall, we find ourselves near a magic mirror, activating which, we improve some characteristics. Such mirrors will often be found in this location, look for them to make your hero stronger. Now we can climb the stairs to the place indicated by the marker. After the conversation, we kill the demons and approach the shining green balls. Activate them one by one by holding down [LMB]. We watch the video, and then we pass further along the only possible path. Having reached the fork, where one road leads down, and the other goes north at the same level, we go along the second road. There will be another mirror there. Now we return to the fork, go down in the east direction and reach the character with whom you can talk. After the conversation, we interrupt all the demons again and activate the green glowing balls. Then we reach the barrier that needs to be protected. Then we go further to the fork. There is a road up to the north. On it we reach two demons of pride. After killing them, we examine the area where the card is flashing (press the [ v ]). We find a stuffed toy. The next stage of the "Fears of dreamers" quest starts, which is not displayed on the map (a soft toy must be put on the bed, which is nearby and displayed on the map). Next to the stuffed toy, there is a structure that looks like an altar.
By activating it, another side task "Broken Window" will start. Here you need to light five lights in the correct order, after which you can collect loot. Then we return back to the fork and along the bottom we reach the last riddle of the "Fears of dreamers" task. Then to the barrier, near which we fight until the timeline ends. We pass further and there we take away the reward for the task "Fears of dreamers", highlighted by a marker. Next, we follow the spirit and reach the boss. From time to time it will turn into invisibility. If you cannot target him, and at the same time he will attack, then switch to tactical mode and assign an attack there. At some point, help will come to the boss. After the victory, there will be a cut-scene during which you will have to make two serious choices.
The fruits of pride
The mission is selected on the command headquarters table. To open it, you must have 40 influence points. Please note that Cullen's mission "Before Dawn" will become unavailable after this quest, so if you want to complete it, do it before starting this story mission.
Once on the spot, we follow the markers, simultaneously fighting with the enemies. Having reached the temple and going inside, we go up the steps in front. There will be a locked door. To open it, you have to solve a small problem. Climb back down to the statue in the middle of the courtyard. Around her are square grates on the floor. If stepped on, they will light up blue. You need to go so as to light all such squares, but keep in mind that if you step on any cell twice or step on the ground, you will have to start all over again.
If you have any problems with the passage of riddles with plates, then below you can watch their video walkthrough:
As soon as you do this, the door will light up blue. Now you can open it. After a short cutscene, you will have to fight with a small group of enemies, and then decide what to do next - follow the enemy at once or try to solve all the puzzles (perform rituals), where we need to light all the stoves again. If you choose the first option (a marker in the middle of the room), you will have to fight not only with your direct enemies, but also with the keepers of the temple. The second option - you need to solve three similar puzzles (on the sides of the room). Having solved the puzzles and going into the right door, we watch the video and make another decision that will greatly affect the development of this mission. If you choose the option of working together, then follow the elf with the staff, without folding. After reaching the place, she will open a secret vault. After examining everything there, we pass further. Going down the round stairs, we meet the boss (who it will be depends on your choice of templars / magicians). Having defeated the enemies, we watch the video and make another important decision.
The last act
The mission starts automatically after completing the previous mission. Its passage differs depending on the choice in the previous mission.
If Morrigan saw from the source:
We go to the meeting place, talk to Leliana and go through the mirror. There we simply follow the only possible path. Having reached the goal, we just talk, there is no need to fight.
If you drank GG from the source:
After talking with Morrigan, we go to the area called "Altar of Mital" (To move there we use the global map (world map), the altar is located next to the Sacred Plain). We have to fight the boss. A cutscene will begin at about half of his remaining health.
Marvel at the perfection ...
This is the last story mission. After completing it, you can continue to play, traveling around Thedas, however, many side missions will become unavailable. Also, immediately think about who you will take with you to the final battle, and put on the best equipment in advance. Also check the number of potions, bombs, etc. The task is selected on the command rate table and does not require influence points.
The battle will begin immediately. The main villain loves to teleport and move quickly, while it is better not to stand in his way. You should also avoid its rays. When the enemy moves to another area, on the way there do not miss the cache with potions. At about 50% of the remaining health, the boss will teleport again, and we will have to fight a new, very powerful enemy. After defeating him, we go to the first boss. On the way there we do not skip the cache. Having gained the upper hand, we watch the video. Once in Skyhold, go to your room (door to the left (north) of the throne). We are watching another video and the final credits, after which there will be another small video.
Once you start the prologue for Dragon Age Inquisition, you will be amazed at its linearity. If you want to do something differently, as indicated in this walkthrough, you will be surprised to find that you cannot change anything. Getting lost here is completely unrealistic. First, you have to follow Cassandra. During your journey, pay attention to every clue and gradually kill enemies. You won't have any problems during the basic training. After a while you will meet the elf Solas and the dwarf Varric - it is with them that you can continue your journey. They will be the first companions in Dragon Age Inquisition. As soon as you take on your companions, you begin to learn the tactical pause. During the passage of Dragon Age Inquisition, you will often use this mode, so be sure to go through all the tutorials.
After some time, you will find yourself in a very interesting place - a gap in reality, from where demons often penetrate. If you decide that you need to close this gap, you will have to kill all the enemies. When the demons are defeated, you need to use the gap with the right mouse button. After a few seconds, the gap closes, but at this time you cannot be hit. Keep in mind that you will close such portals quite often. After the portal closes, you can go back to the fortress: however, before that you will be offered a choice. You can either go along the short path, or choose the long one and save your allies in the passage of Dragon Age Inquisition. Regardless of which path you choose, you will have to get to the place of the Old Ruins. When you make your way into the main hall, where the gap itself is located, you will engage in battle with the first main enemy in your passage of Dragon Age Inquisition - the demon of pride. There are many more such bosses.
I don't think there can be any difficulty with the passage of this section of the game: during the battle you will not fight yourself, but also with support in the form of comrades-in-arms from the Inquisition. When you go through the first phase of this quest in Dragon Age Inquisition, you will not be able to damage the boss. Therefore, you will have to make the boss susceptible to damage by constantly using the gap. Pass the threat to your allies, and your main character will use the gap at this time. During the casting, you will constantly remove a certain percentage of the boss's health. When the gap explodes, the demon drops to his knees. It is at this time that you can carry maximum damage to the enemy. When the demon rises, there is no point in hitting him. Use the rift again to remove the demon's protection. Throughout the battle, other demons will appear, which you can easily kill. Usually, these enemies are killed first, and then they go to beat the demon of pride.
The danger has not passed
When you go through the previous parts, you will be given the first task. You should first have a good rest, and then go to explore the territory, go to the church, which is marked on your map. At the Command Table, you can finish the game's prologue and begin the main playthrough for Dragon Age Inquisition.
Now is the time to explore the entire location. During this time, it is best to learn how to forge weapons and armor well. It will also be nice if you can remember where the main characters are. When all this bored you, you can go back to the church. Take the first task and head to a new location - Inner Earth, in which you will spend a lot of time during the passage of Dragon Age Inquisition. She is in the same kingdom, so you can just go to the table and move using a quick transition.
Once you get to the Hinterlands, you will see that there are a huge number of tasks. You will have to spend about 12 hours to complete the entire location. I advise you to take all the quests at once so that the journal is always full. While exploring this location, you will constantly come across such and such tasks. If you systematically walk throughout the territory, you will not only get the best equipment, but also complete all tasks, earning the necessary experience to complete Dragon Age Inquisition.
Now we will analyze the execution of the main quest - The Path of the Inquisitor. Mark it in your journal so that you constantly see pointers that point to it. If you move along the path that is marked on the map, you will definitely stumble upon soldiers of the Inquisition, who are attacked by magic and templars. Join the battle immediately to help your allies. After that, you can get to the main camp of the Inquisition in this area. Here you will have to talk to your mother, who will send you to travel to new lands.
I advise you to complete the maximum number of tasks in the Hinterlands. This will give you the best weapons and equipment, help you advance through the levels, developing your characters. If you choose to continue the storyline of this Dragon Age Inquisition walkthrough, head to the new city using the command table. This is a small trading town where merchants and some characters are stationed for passing.
First, take a look around, study the product from the merchants, as you can always find something interesting to buy. Buy up everything that can be useful to any of your allies. Good equipment from your allies is the key to victory over any enemy. When you have studied all the locations, you can continue the quest. First you must follow the mark on the map. There is practically nothing to do here, just watch the video, chat with representatives of the Khamovniki, and get out of the city. Before leaving the location, you will be disturbed by a woman. She will say that she represents the chapter of the mages, which brings a new feature to the passage of Dragon Age Inquisition.
Well, it's time to choose between templars and sorcerers. Choose carefully, because once you have made a choice, you cannot change anything. I advise you to build on the main class of your character. Agree, it is not very logical if the mage character decides to join the templars. It is also a little strange if a warrior agrees to help magicians. But, nevertheless, one should not be attached to these conventions in the passage of Dragon Age Inquisition very tightly. If you are leaning towards another faction, it is better to join it than to constantly make decisions you don't like. In order to join the Templars, you need to complete the "Defenders of Justice" quest. If you decide to start cooperating with magicians, you need to complete the "Secret" task. In any case, the choice is not yet final and you can change it. But during the next assignment, you will have to make a decision.
By secret
Now is the time to head to the Inner Earths. If you have not yet explored all the locations, point your feet straight north. There is the city of Radcliffe, in which we need to get in the passage of Dragon Age Inquisition. When you come to the gate, you will see a rift located there. To get into the city, you have to close it. Not very strong demons come out from there, so there will be no problems. When the rift is closed, the gate will open and you can get behind the walls.
Inside the city, you need to look around after examining the merchants. I have not found anything remarkable that would significantly enhance my characters. When you've found everything you need, head straight to the tavern. When you get inside this building, you should talk to the witch. A new destination will appear on the map, to which we will go.
When you come to the mark continuing the passage of Dragon Age Inquisition, Dorian will come out to meet you. With it, you can continue your journey if you like this magician. Also, male characters can start a romantic line with him. And there is no getting away from closing the rifts. Pay a lot of attention to this, as the demons that will crawl out of this rift are strong enough. Chat with the sorcerer, after which you will have to go home again.
Are you ready to make the final choice? If you have not turned off the designated path, you simply make a final decision that cannot be changed. You are faced with a choice. And we continue to go through the game along the path of the magicians, because, in our opinion, the passage of Dragon Age Inquisition for the magicians is much more interesting.
We need to go straight to Radcliffe again. Use fast travel in your camp to avoid wasting a lot of time on your way. During this mission, be sure to join Dorian. Accordingly, the place of the magician will be occupied and the team must be selected based on this.
I will not tell you what you will encounter once you go to Radcliffe. The plot is interesting enough, so be prepared for an unexpected twist. As soon as you finish watching all the cutscenes, you will be left with only Dorian, finding yourself in prison. When you can control your characters, you should start developing the mage, otherwise he will not be a good companion in the passage of Dragon Age Inquisition.
Dorian makes an excellent battle mage. Develop it in this direction, otherwise you will not achieve success. As you move through the dungeon, you will encounter several types of enemies. Almost no one is dangerous, but do not let them deal a lot of damage, otherwise you will not be able to heal for a long time. As often happens in similar games, the easiest way to complete this mission is for tank warriors. Rogues may have some problems, and it will be very difficult if you play as a magician or archer. In this, the passage of Dragon Age Inquisition is very unoriginal.
There are many points of movement in front of you, along which you will go. When you find the first fork, you will see three markers on the map. Each of them designates a character located there, which can be taken into the group. But then there are three marks! The third mark is the sorceress Fiona, whom we have already encountered. I advise you to immediately go to the other two marks, because four party members will kill all enemies much easier. When you can talk to Fiona, the next part of the quest will become available. We'll have to move to a new location indicated on the map.
To heal your characters, you have health potions. But their supply is far from endless. Try to make the most of it if you find a repository. It looks like a box, from which they stick out in all directions in different jars and flasks. This storage replenishes a full supply of health potions, so try to use the maximum of them in front of the crate. Well, are you ready to move on the new marks on the map? If you want to explore a location completely, I can disappoint you right away. I didn't find anything interesting there that would significantly enhance my character. Therefore, you can simply move along the marks until you have visited all of them. However, keep in mind that you will have to move through several levels. I advise you to carefully study the location, otherwise you will get confused and lost, which will be clearly superfluous for the passage of Dragon Age Inquisition.
If you find a closed door that cannot be opened, then you are on the right track. In order to get for it, you will have to search for red lyrium in the vicinity. You must find five shards to open this door. You can see on the map where they are lying around. When each of them is with you, be sure to replenish your healing potions, because you will have to face a new enemy in this location. Alexius is a strong enough enemy, but the next boss will fall in front of your pressure and the passage of Dragon Age Inquisition will continue.
This boss is a sorcerer who constantly attacks you with magic. In addition, he moves with the help of teleports throughout the site, protecting himself with a shield that absorbs damage. The battle looks very monotonous, but it shouldn't be difficult. The main thing is that your tank constantly provokes the boss to beat itself. Since the boss loves to switch targets, keep an eye on who he is hitting at all times. All your other allies should focus their maximum attention on this fight. Do not be afraid to deal a lot of damage, because in the future you will not need any spells with a long cooldown. As soon as you remove about 50% of the boss's health, he will disappear from view, but you will have to close a new gap. You already know how to do this, so just do the usual work. If the gap is blocked, the boss will reappear in this room. When you remove three-quarters of his health, the boss will disappear again. This time the demons from the rips will be slightly stronger, but you can still deal with them. After that, be sure to watch the video clip, sympathize with one of the characters and continue the passage of Dragon Age Inquisition.

Part 1. Wrath of Heaven
Let's get down to Dragon Age 3: Inquisition walkthrough... After the control of the character passes to you, you can independently make your choice during the game, as you please. Follow the path, go through the gate at the end of the trail, and keep moving until the cutscene starts. You will find yourself in battle. Help Kasandra, killing opponents, and when you finish the battle, then start a dialogue with her.
Return to the route, pick up the helmet of the dead enemy, and then go down the left side. You will be ambushed by Lesser Shades. Kill them, which is easy enough, and then go left to pick up the Elfroot plant - a component for crafting. Move on, on the way you will again meet a group of opponents. Turn left, go up the hill and take care of the enemies. Go back and find the Elfroot plant. ...
Go downstairs, kill the Ghosts and other opponents, then go forward and meet with other rivals. There will be another Elfrut plant at the end of the road. Turn around 180 degrees and go up the stairs on the right side. At the top there will be another group of enemies, after which you will need to watch a video.
Get over the obstacle ahead, follow the road until you meet enemies. Focus on the Lesser Shade first, with Kasandra taking over the Greater Shade. If you have ranged warriors in your group, they will be able to shoot a little at the rest of the enemies while you are fighting the opponents mentioned above. When the enemies are defeated, help Kasandra.
Before going up the stairs on the right side of the house, collect Elfrut, then go to the frozen reservoir and go to the left side to find prey. Follow the route until you reach the camp. Grab useful items, and then go towards the stairs near the house. Climb the stairs above, fight the enemies at the top, and then climb the hill and defeat the enemies you meet. Close the crack by interacting with it.
Go through the gate ahead, restock your supplies. There is a loot chest to the right of the bridge. Go to the center of the bridge, you will see a video with a dialogue. Choose one of two routes. Choose the mountain trail if you want to find money and save the soldiers. You can take a different route if you like. Either way, both options are described below. Follow the stairs ahead. Turn left and move further up the hill. Deal with the enemies, turn the corner to the right side. There is a loot chest in the first room on the right side. It contains money. Money is also lying in the corners. There will be two enemies on the left side.
Grab the loot on the left side, go right, kill opponents, and then seal the crack and watch the cutscene. Pick up the loot from the floor, sit down the path on the right side, go down the stairs below and reach the temple entrance. Follow the route, climb the stairs and at the top of the first of them, turn to the right. There is a chest here. Go to another staircase and kill opponents. Close the crack and interact with it. After the video, take the loot. Go through the opening ahead. Pick up the second loot, go down the stairs below and round the corner. Watch the video. Move to the right side, follow the corner and run down the steps. Walk down to the crevasse to watch a video.
First bossPride Demon
The boss has a health reserve of 13821. He is susceptible to physical attacks, paralysis, blinding, freezing. Resistant to electrical attacks.
At the beginning of the battle, the Demon's health bar will be gray, which indicates that it is not yet possible to damage the enemy. During the battle, this will be repeated at a certain time interval. When this happens, you need to interact with the rift, thereby stunning the Demon. This will again allow you to damage that one. The Demon has lightning attacks in its arsenal. He inflicts their target, facing him face to face. Thus, it is best not to stop on his way. In this battle, your main assistant is Fissure. Interact with her. Ignore other opponents. Only take care of them if they prevent you from approaching the Rift. Continuation Dragon Age 3: Inquisition walkthroughs follows.
Part 2. The danger is not over
So you have won. Now go boldly out into the street and move towards the church. The pointer on the minimap in the lower left corner of the screen will help you with this. Enter the command post, where the game's prologue ends. Now is the time to get comfortable inside the headquarters. This time can be spent understanding the principles of blacksmithing. You can also chat with your comrades, remember the locations of key computer players. When finished with all this, then return back to the vicinity of the church. Here there is a transition to a new location called "The Hinterlands" and belonging to the kingdom of Ferelden. Use the existing map of the world, or the command post, and you can go to a new place.
At the location "Hinterlands" you can take many quests, both side and main. If you wish, you can spend about 10-12 hours of game time on completing the quests of this location. Use the possibility of notes in the journal to leave important notes, choose the most preferred quests to complete. If you put a marker on any task, then the pointer will tell you the correct route to the goal. Finally, if you are not interested in additional quests and you want to advance along the main storyline as soon as possible, then select the task "The Path of the Inquisitor" in the journal.
Follow the sign on the mini-map without turning anywhere so as not to waste time. On the other hand, you should understand that without completing at least some of the additional tasks, it is almost impossible to advance along the main storyline. Even on a normal level of difficulty, such an attempt can fail. Either way, the marker will lead you to the Inquisition squad, fighting with the rebellious wizards and templars. The squad needs help and you come in handy more than ever. Save them, then receive an invitation to visit the huge camp. It is he who is the central point of the Inquisition at the location "Hinterlands". Chat about everything with Giselle, who will explain you where to go next.
And then the path lies on a new location. By the way, after completing a number of additional tasks at the "Hinterlands" location, you will increase the level of your character by several units. If you do not want to do this, or have already completed a sufficient number of side quests, then return to the command center and go to a new location called "Val Ruayo". As before, follow the pointer on the minimap in the lower left corner of the screen. There are literally a few things to do here. First, get to the mark on the minimap, watch the video shown to you, talk to the Templars, and then follow the exit. Before heading to the command center, you will have a chat with the spellcaster, who holds the position of the commander-in-chief of the magicians.
Soon you will be prompted to make a choice. On the one hand, the templars, on the other hand, the magicians. This choice is made by accepting one of two quests, titled "In Secret" and "Defenders of Justice". If you have chosen the first quest, then keep in mind that the choice of the second will no longer be possible. Select the quest "Defenders of Justice" and you can convince the templars that they should ally with the Inquisition. But if you need the help of magicians and you would like to get them as allies, then you will need to complete the task "In secret". It is the second task that we will carry out further. If your choice fell in a different direction, then you can safely skip the chapter below.
Part 3. In secret
Follow the location "Hinterlands", where you will find and get to Redlkeiff. This city is located in the northern part of the location. Before opening the gates to the city, you will need to deal with the gap. Once on the territory of the city, find the tavern and talk to the caster inside. Next, you need to go to a new meeting point located nearby. Here Dorian will be waiting for you, who can become your companion and ally. Deal with the gap and listen to Dorian. Follow to the command center, chat with advisers and decide who will become your ally - magicians or templars. This is your last chance to make the right choice!
In the event that you want to make friends with the wizards, then return to the city using the command table. Then Dorian must be in your group, but you can choose two other allies at your discretion. Watch the video, after which you have to get out of the dungeon. When control passes to you, then increase the abilities of your magician so that he could provide overwhelming assistance in battles. Move with him through the dungeons, there will not be many enemies here, but they are capable of inflicting decent damage on you. With a character belonging to the class "rogue", you have to sweat a lot. The best option would be to play as a warrior with a two-handed weapon. More or less, if you have a magician or archer under your control.
Follow the indicated points until you find yourself at a fork. There are several points on your minimap. Two points belong to the allies, whom you must rescue from the dungeon, and one of the points points to the spellcaster Fiona. First you need to free your allies, since it will be much easier for the four of you to fight the enemies. After you get to Fiona, talk to her about everything. A new part of the building will become available to you. Follow the indicated marker.
In order to replenish supplies of potions that increase health, you need to look for special hidden storage facilities. In appearance, they are boxes in which containers in the form of bottles lie. There will be new pointers on your minimap. You need to move along them and study the place where they lead. Move around the location in free mode, visit all the targets in any order of your choice. Remember that the location has several levels, so you need to use the stairs to move. Very soon you will have a locked door in front of you. In order to unlock it, you need to find 5 shards of red lyrium. They are all indicated on the minimap in the lower left corner of the screen. When 5 shards are collected, you will need to replenish stocks of health elixirs and boldly go to battle with the second boss, named Alexius.
Boss fight Alexius
Alexius only has spells in his arsenal. They are aimed at attacking, imposing a shield around themselves and teleporting around the perimeter of the room. But the fight is actually quite simple. The warrior must attack the mage, distracting him from other characters. The other team members should deal maximum damage to his health with the most powerful attacks. At the moment when the health reserve reaches half, the mage will disappear from the battlefield and a gap will form on the territory of the room. Deal with the demons and close the gap itself. When it is closed, Alexius will return to the "dance floor". He will do the same when his health is less than a quarter. Do everything as described above, and you will not experience any problems.
Part 4. Will burn in our hearts
When you return with your team to the command center, you will be able to chat with each of the allies. Here you can complete several quests, albeit side ones. Take advantage of the allotted time to increase the level of the character, by completing tasks, etc. You will be able to completely complete all the affairs in the Shelter. remember, that here you will not return again.
Start the next story mission and watch a series of videos. When you take control of the character, then you can meet with Cole. This is your potential partner. Cole will appear on your path only if you have chosen mages as allies. If you chose the templars as allies, then instead of Cole you will meet Dorian and vice versa (that is, you will carry out the mission for the templars, then there will not be Dorian, but just Cole). In any case, in order not to let you get confused, let us tell you one thing: both characters will meet on your way - one earlier, the other later. Finally, it depends on the same choice which opponents will attack you. Either they will be magicians, or they will be templars.
In any case, you will be faced with the same tasks that need to be solved. Follow the directions on the minimap in the lower left corner of the screen and deal with enemies. You will need to protect the trebuchet and capture another. After successfully completing the set goals, then return to the Shelter. On the way to the Shelter, you will be able to rescue several characters, for which you will receive additional units of experience. Get to the church, watch the video, and return to the battlefield.
After that, you need to aim the trebuchet at the indicated place. Your group will be actively interfered with by enemies. It is best to kill the enemies, and then focus on aiming the gun at the target. Finally, another boss will appear - a knight named Danam
Boss Knight Danam
First of all, kill the demons under his command. After that, select a character with a huge supply of health and melee weapons to distract the boss. Knight Danam does quite a lot of damage to the health of any character, and for the magicians of your team, they can become critical! All the weaker allies in terms of armor should be kept away from the enemy, behind him, in order to reduce the likelihood of causing damage to them. If you divide the strip into four quarters, then between each of them, Danam will drop absolutely all negative effects imposed on him, and will also erect a powerful energy shield around him. The fight can drag on for a very long period of time. But the most important thing to remember is the main "trick": a powerful character with a huge supply of health distracts the boss, drinks health potions in time, and the rest continue to attack him.
When Denam is defeated, watch a lengthy cutscene. After it, control over the characters will return to you. Follow the signs on the mini-map in the lower left corner of the screen, you won't be able to turn off the route. Learn to use the new ability of the protagonist, and then you will find yourself in a blizzard. Move straight, walk a little to the right and watch what happens.
Part 5. From the ashes
Perhaps one of the two shortest missions in the main storyline. Walk around the fortress, explore all of its main rooms and talk to allies and partners. In some corners of Skyhold you will not get to yet, but they will soon be open, as soon as you complete new tasks in the main quest line. Chat with Josephine, have a couple of phrases with Varric, after which two new tasks of the main branch will become available for completing. You can complete them in the order you wish. If you talk with partners before starting one of the tasks, then you can get a lot of useful information.
Part 6. There lies the Abyss
Chat about everything with Varric's buddy, after which you can go to a new level called "Crestwood". Follow to the meeting place with the informant, we go along the coast, until we stumble upon the entrance to the cave. And you should go there. Talk and move to a new location called "Western Limit". Go to the marker marked on the map and watch the detailed cut-scene. We kill demons, you can use a spell called "Break Mark". After the end of the battle, we return to Skyhold.
After visiting the command post, we move to Orly, where we continue to complete the task. By the way, before the hike, we inspect the equipment of the selected party, free up the inventory slots, since we have to return here after a long period of time. We move along the mark on the map, we kill enemies, we get an additional task that it is necessary to help the inquisitors in battle. We deal with three detachments of Gray guards, who are fighting together with demons. If you complete the task, then a chest full of treasures will open for us. After you fight the forces of Darkness, the leader of which will be the Demon of Pride (we kill ordinary enemies, and then the mini-boss; in addition, the cobblestones thrown by the dragon will fly from above), we run further. The dragon does not lag behind and spits fire. You shouldn't spend a lot of time in one place. We look through the cut-scene and find ourselves on a new level.
We follow the mark on the mini-map, carefully watching the radar, since the fact that it is lit will indicate the nearest location of the item that is needed to complete the "Fears of the Dreamers" quest. In the north of the first zone, you need to find a human corpse, or rather his remains in the form of bones. We turn on the search mode and thereby activate an additional mission. In other locations, there are 4 more such items required for the quest. Before completing this part of the game, you must complete the task (optional).
In order to regain lost memories, we deal with the demons and press the action button near their bodies. To further advance through the location, you need to repeat these steps several times. We move on until a boss named Nightmare appears on the horizon.
Boss Nightmare
The fight will be intense enough. The boss has a very large health reserve, in addition, his attacks are capable of destroying any enemy. Periodically, small enemies - spiders - will appear on the battlefield. We destroy them as soon as they appeared, because they can overwhelm you with numbers, if you do not clear the battlefield in time. If you have a "tank" in your team, then it is on it that the boss's attention should be focused. The rest must kill Nightmare's subordinates. When there are no enemies, then with powerful attacks, with all possible abilities, we attack the Nightmare. The moment the boss has a quarter of his life reserve, he will call for help from powerful demons. This is where we use the ability "Break Point". After defeating the boss, we follow back to Skyhold.
Part 7. Evil eyes and evil tongues
This mission differs from the others in that the composition of your squad and the choice of answers in dialogues play an important role here. It is best to save at the beginning of the mission, and select an empty slot. In a group, you must have at least one wizard who has the ability to set up barriers. This is necessary for the reason that your arsenal simply does not have enough health potions. When we communicate with noble people, it is better not to answer them harshly and not be rude. Try to flatter where you need it. Agree on everything.
The task is interesting in that you have to pass for a noble person. Behave politely with everyone, be friendly, provide small services to guests, which will increase your Inquisitor rating. If you are absent for a long time, your rating will go down. The same goes for harsh responses. If the Inquisitor's rating is zero, then you will be kicked out of the ball. And the mission will fail. Use every opportunity to improve your ranking.
In addition to the main task, there is something to please yourself from additional quests. Try to find all the figurines to open secret chests with valuable items. Find incriminating evidence on noble people, etc. At the beginning of the location there is a lady standing next to the gate. She lost something. What she lost can be found next to the fountain, for which enter the search mode. Return her lost item, thereby increasing your rating. This is enough.
We follow the marker in order to move the correct route and find the necessary characters with whom we need to start a dialogue. After the official presentation takes place, you can talk with your allies, as well as study the situation in the area. Having completed everything, we go to the lobby and enter the room with the guests. We go "Hall of Heroes", cross it and leave the house on the west side. We follow through the corridor until we find a fountain. We rise to the second tier using the net hanging on the wall.
When we leave the audience, and no one will see us, the character's rating will significantly decrease. You need to work quickly. The marker marks the area on the terrain where you should search for everything. Having finished our searches, follow the steps down to the library and switch to the search mode. We find evidence, follow back to the hall where the ball is taking place. We increase the rating by talking with the nobility. We will proceed to the ball after the bell is struck twice. Late is a significant difference between the nobility and others.
So, now you have a key with which you can get into the servants' wing. We follow the lower floor through the hall of heroes, we meet our companions. Be sure to change their smart clothes for combat gear. Remember that at this moment you need to have at least ten rating points on your account, because with every minute you will lose one unit. For this reason, you need to act quickly and confidently. We kill enemies, spending as little time as possible. We follow the path of blood and corpses. Their killer will appear. Fight him, watch the cut-scene and return back to the ball.
The Duchess invites the main character to dance. We try to be as polite as possible. Select the options on the right side in the dialog box. After talking with the duchess, you can turn in the compromising evidence to Leliana. This is your last chance to do it. Get to the new rift, which will be opened in the castle courtyard. Kill people and deal with demons. Defeat the second wave, which is much stronger than the first. Watch some cut-scenes, make a decision (important!) And follow the battle with the boss of this location.
Boss Duchess
First, kill ordinary opponents, try to use magicians to create a shield and additional protection from enemies. The Duchess moves around the arena constantly, so you need to be careful and not lose sight of her. When the health scale is half empty, the Duchess will call her subordinates. We kill them first, we act quickly. Then we finish off the Duchess.
Part 8. The fruits of pride
We follow to the headquarters and take a new task. In the first stage, we need to follow the marks on the minimap and compass, and kill enemies along the way. Soon we will find ourselves near the Ancient Temple. We approach a huge closed door, the task is updated and now you need to conduct a ritual. There is a statue on the ground floor in the hall. We follow the plates in a certain order and light them all. You cannot step on a slab that has been activated. I think you can handle the first task without any problems. We open the doors and go inside the Ancient Temple.
We watch the video and make a choice. You can go to the enemies immediately, or honor all the traditions of the elven2 people and perform 4 rituals. If you chose the first option, then you will have to fight the demons and servants of the temple. If you chose the second option, then you will need to solve four more riddles with plates. When they are solved, we will get elves into our ranks and fight with another boss of the location. So, you have made a choice - we follow the markers marked on the map. If the rituals were all completed and the riddles were solved, then it would be possible to take the elves as allies and fight the invaders. You will have your own guide showing the way to the boss. If you have not completed the rituals, then you will need to fight with everyone at once. In this case, the way through the labyrinth will need to be found by ourselves. The radar and search mode will help you with this. The boss will appear soon.
Boss Samson (Allies - Mages)
He will attack melee. To help, he calls on minions, which must be killed immediately. When the enemy starts to rotate, then we withdraw the fighters away. The squad must be distributed throughout the battlefield to defuse Samson's attacks. Use a pause and issue a command to your squad, as allies cannot always choose the right enemies to attack.
Boss Calperia (Templar Allies)
Fire runes will be placed on the floor. You must run away from these runes and remove allies from there. Calperia will be ported across the battlefield. Stunning against her will give you nothing. The same goes for fear and paralysis. In addition, she is practically not afraid of fire attacks. It is best to use lightning and frost against it.
Part 9. The last act
The mission is short enough. We follow to the altar, using the headquarters of the command. If during the last mission the companion drank the waters of their Well of Sorrow, then you just need to communicate with the specified character. If not, then there will be a fight with the Dragon.
Boss Dragon
Use the character "tank" to distract the Dragon. All ranged fighters should keep their distance from the boss - do not climb under his claws. If you act correctly, you will have no problems. Do not use fire attacks, since the dragon is still a fire-breathing creature. Therefore, you need to attack with cold. Defeat the Dragon to have half of its health remaining. Watch the cut-scene.
Part 10. Marvel at the perfection
And now comes the moment of the final battle. Save in a separate slot at the very beginning of the final mission. Now complete other quests if desired. On the other hand, even after the final battle, most of the quests will still be available, but some of the content will be lost forever. Therefore, right now the moment has come when you need to go through ALL missions of the game.
Battle with the Coryphaeus
So, in the battle with the Coryphaeus, you need to take at least one wizard who uses an effective spell that establishes a barrier. Better yet, take two of these. The boss is strong enough, deals a huge amount of damage. Status effects are nothing for him, and a huge pool of health makes him even stronger. The battle will be long, please be patient.
In the first stage, the Coryphaus summons demons, attacks with spells and constantly moves across the battlefield. Actively use the "Barrier" spell and healing potions. After a while, the Coryphaus will be on another battlefield, and you follow the boss. Stock up on a potion on the road.
At the second stage, you will need to do everything the same as at the first. The only thing that has changed is the setting.
And now the boss has 50% of the life reserve. A huge Dragon appears. The "tank" distracts the dragon on itself, and the characters using ranged weapons actively attack the enemy. Shoot at the paws of the enemy to slow down his movement. Heal heroes, use magic to protect characters with melee weapons. You should not spare potions and energy for laying barriers here. Your squad should be dispersed throughout the arena.
When the Dragon is defeated, the Coryphaus will reappear. Here he will begin to teleport more often, use new spells that cause damage to all members of your group. Again, actively use the spell that sets up barriers, as well as healing elixirs. Watch the final video and complete Dragon Age: Inquisition walkthrough.
