Blackwall¶

Utilize the Grey Warden Treaties

Details: Blackwall has in his possession Grey Warden treaties, which the Inquisition might be able to use to obtain the resources it needs to improve itself. Josephine can be put in charge of invoking the treaties in as diplomatic a way as possible.

Conscript for the Inquisition

Details: The appearance of an ancient darkspawn magister makes the Grey Warden treaties more relevant to the Inquisition. What you choose to obtain with the treaties is up to you. Cullen will use them to bolster Inquisition forces, Josephine uses them to ask for donations from noble allies, and Leliana will use them to gain information for the Inquisition.

The Consequences of Blackwall’s Lie

Details: Blackwall’s revelation has made some of your allies upset, as the “conscription” done by the Inquisition was based on a lie. Josephine believes reparations should be made—this will get the Inquisition nothing but may appease your allies. Cullen prefers a more practical approach; based on your actions at Adamant, the Wardens are now your allies, or banished from Southern Thedas and their assets seized by the Inquisition. Either way, the commander believes this entitles you to use the treaties with impunity. Allowing him to handle it will give the Inquisition more gold.

Cole¶

Locate Rhys and Evangeline

Details: Cole’s friends Rhys and Evangeline were not present at the Conclave. Complete this operation to rescue them.

Deploy Rhys and Evangeline

Details: Once the rescue is complete, you can then deploy Rhys and Evangeline as Inquisition agents as you see fit. Cole will approve of your actions, and there is no wrong way to complete this short chain of operations.

Cullen¶

Aid those Impacted by the Civil War

Details: The Imperial Army is prepared to aid the Inquisition but must first deal with demons within their own borders. Cullen suggests sending your own soldiers to fight demons. Josephine suggests petitioning the Chantry to provide shelter for civilians, while Leliana’s agents can divert travelers from dangerous areas. Choose Cullen as direct cooperation with the Imperial soldiers will encourage them to work with you again.

An Offer from the Imperial Army

Details: Chevalier Ducet remembers the Inquisition’s soldiers helping with the demons. He offers to assist your soldiers as they fight Red Templars in Val Foret. Only Cullen is available for this operation.

Diverting Soldiers in the Frontbacks

Details: Sister Paulette and a group of injured Inquisition soldiers are holding off Avvar in the Frostback Mountains. Word can be sent to soldiers near their location, however said soldiers are in pursuit of Red Templars with civilian captives. Cullen will opt to pursue the red templars and captives. The captives will be freed but Sister Pauline and the soldiers are lost. Pursuit through the Mountains becomes available. Josephine will opt for helping Sister Pauline and the injured soldiers. The sister and soldiers are saved, but the red templars’ trail is lost. Thanks from a Chantry Sister becomes available.

Pursuit Through the Mountains

Details: Inquisition soldiers were able to uncover information on Red Templar movements. Cullen or Leliana can set up an attack. Either way, the attack is a success.

Thanks From a Chantry Sister

Details: Sister Pauline offers to assist the Inquisition as thanks for rescuing her from the Avvar. You may choose to accept the offer or release her from obligations. All choices result in some sort of reward.

Details: Follow Leliana’s advice. She is, after all, your spymaster.

The Iron Bull: Venatori Fire Ship Operation Chain¶

Failed Assassination Attempt Inquiry

Details: The best option here is to use Josephine. Any other choice will cause diplomatic incidents that will slow your team down.

Follow Venatori Assassins

Details: Follow Leliana’s advice and send the Ben-Hassrath through the Brecilian forest. Note that if you have made two wrong choices, you may not even unlock the final operation in the chain.

Stop Venatori Fire Ship

Details: Follow Cullen’s advice and use the Qunari fleet to stop the fire ship. Assuming you have chosen correctly, they will take down the Venatori before they can set fire to the city of Denerim.

The Iron Bull: Venatori Spymaster Operation Chain¶

Find Spies in Skyhold

Details: If you do not want to risk losing operatives, follow Cullen’s advice and have the spy tried and executed. This ends the operation chain. If you want to take the risk, work with Leliana to track the spy to start a series of operations.

Track Spies in Val Royeaux

Details: Val Royeaux is noisy and crowded, and Tallis says that it’s the perfect time to move agents in. Go with Cullen to increase your strength here.

Track Spies in Val Chevin

Details: Val Chevin is more quiet, so go with Leliana to avoid attracting too much attention.

Track Spies in Nevarra

Details: If you haven’t gotten enough Ben-Hassrath agents so far, Tallis will warn you that you don’t have enough agents. Nevertheless, Nevarra isn’t safe for large numbers, and if you go with Cullen, you risk blowing your cover and ending the operation chain. Go with Leliana to keep moving quietly.

Track Spies in Vyrantium

Details: Tallis will warn you about problems here, letting you know if you don’t have enough Ben-Hassrath strength, or if the Venatori are on high alert because of your activities already. The safest thing to do in this operation is have Josephine lower the Venatori alertness level rather than moving any agents in.

Destroy Venatori Spy Network

Details: Tallis will give you her final recommendation here, telling you whether it’s best to send in more agents or lower Venatori alertness. If she says that you have the numbers necessary to carry out your attack, then choose Josephine to avoid any risk of tipping off the Venatori. Otherwise, use Cullen or Leliana to send in agents. Good luck! If you succeed, you will have dealt a crippling blow to the Venatori spy network.
