Leliana is the pious, kind, yet deadly bard of the tale. Don’t let her looks deceive you.

Class : Rogue

Specialization : Bard

Unlock : Stop the ruckus in Dane’s Refuge in Lothering and she will join.

Leliana is a lay sister of the Chantry. She has apparently spent most of her life as a bard in Orlais, a minstrel assassin, and a spy employed by the nobles of Val Royeaux. She makes a great melee rogue with Dual Weapon talents but can also shell out some damage as an archer.

Romance¶

Leliana is a little difficult to start a relationship with. As a male talk to her about her time in the cloister in camp and choose the following dialogue options:

• “I’d like to talk.”

• “What was someone like you doing in Lothering?”

• “You know, a beautiful charming woman like yourself.”

• “Those initiates can’t have been more lovely than you.”

• Romance initiated
  With an approval rating over 50 as a female character talk to her in camp and she will say (only once), “I… have I ever told you I really like the way you wear your hair?” Respond with the following dialogue options:

• “My hair? Thank-you.”

• “Dear Maker!”

• “Well we are friends aren’t we?”

• “And do you enjoy the company of other women?”

• “I think I might giggle and maybe look coy?”

• Romance initiated
  Finish her personal quest with Marjolaine and talk to Leliana. She’ll say, “I know that look – you have something on your mind don’t you?” Respond with the following dialogue options:

• “We need to talk.”

• “Are you feeling better?”

• “Er, I think I see what you mean.”

• “She was special to you wasn’t she?”

• “I’m sorry it ended to badly.”

• “Everyone changes unfortunately.”

• “I can only hope to one day be as special as she was to you.”

• Romance initiated
  To get invited into her tent she must be in love with you, that means an approval rating of 100. Talk to her in camp and continue being nice to her, give her gifts and the like and she will invite you in for a one-time event.

Crisis¶

If you choose to desecrate the ashes during the Urn of Sacred Ashes quest she will turn against you unless you pass an extremely hard Intimidation check.

Personal Quest¶

When she is “Warm” to you speak to her at camp and ask her why someone like she would be in Lothering’s Chantry. She will talk about being a bard in Orlais and end the conversation there. Get her approval rating over 25 and talk to her in camp again. Talk to her about the minstrels being spies and then leave camp. Return to camp and Leliana will immediately approach you. She will admit to lying earlier. Your next random encounter should be with some assassins, do what you will with the survivor after he gives up the information. You will acquire the quest “ Leliana’s Past “ after she speaks with you.

Head to Denerim and enter the Assassin’s Contact for Leliana located just south of the entrance. Kill the Guards then enter the next room and speak with Marjolaine. You’ll eventually have to kill her, loot her and check the chest in the side room for some runes and Marjolaine’s Recurve , one of the best bows in the game.

Miscellaneous¶

• Leliana may teach the Bard specialization if she warms up to you
• She is religious and usually takes the morally correct path

Gifts¶

Andraste’s Grace and the Nug will start personal dialogue with her. You can’t get the Nug until Leliana mentions that she finds “those little bunny pigs adorable.” Talk to the Idle Dwarf in Orzammar’s Dust Town to get one.
