Dragon Age: Inquisition - Walkthrough: Companions - Recruitment. Guide to recruiting agents in Dragon Age: Inquisition Dragon age inquisition agents

Recruiting Inquisition agents reduces the time war table missions take to complete. Certain individuals and groups also provide other unique perks.

The Hinterlands Agents [edit]

Lord Berand– You can find Berand at Lornan’s Exile after you close the rift inside. I think he was at on the second floor of the pub. Talk to him about after finding his fiancé"s dead body and ask him to join the Inquisition and he will. He makes Cullen return 5% faster from missions.

Speaker Anais– She will also join the Inquisition after you close the rift in that area. While she doesn't give a buff you get a one time option to do a couple of things. You can choose to either be an Agent for Leliana or Josephine or simply to help the refugees for a power boost.

Smuggler Tanner– You can find Smuggler Tanner at the Redcliffe village. With the quest “Business Arrangements” talk to the turn in lady and use Cassandra as your special. She will join you and gives Leliana a 5% reduction timer on all missions.

Horsemaster Dennet– The horse master doesn’t get a direct buff but allows you to buy new mounts at the stables in Haven. Have Cassandra or Dorian with you when you complete the quest “Horses For The Inquisition” and use her/him to convince him to come along.

Ritts– Ritts is a scout with the Inquisition. You get her by saving her from Templars in “Strange Bedfellows”. Not sure exactly what she does, but if you have Varric talk to her after you save her, she joins the Inquisition.

Enchantress Ellendra– There is an enchantress Agent in the Hinterlands as well, just outside of the crossroads. You need to finish My Lover"s Phylactery quest in order for her to join. Once you return a phylactery to her, have Vivienne talk to her to convince her to join. She can also be convinced to joing if you"re playing as a mage or have the arcane persuade conversation option.

Clemence- A tranquil mage, located in Redcliffs tavern, speak to him after meeting the First Enchanter and he will offer to join the inquistion as an Alchemist.

Corporal Vale- After completing all of Vale's requests (Apostate Caches, hunting rams, acquiring a healer, etc.) and potentially some or all of the healer's herb requests, Vale tells you that the refugees are finally safe. He then lets you know that you can recruit the skilled refugees. Choose that option to acquire an Inquisition Agent. (The other option rewards you with Power.)

The Fallow World Agents [edit]

Sky Watcher– You will meet a Skyguard at one of the Rifts in the area. Talk to him about a few things and he will help you fight the demons that come out of the rift. After you complete the “Lost Souls” quest return to the entrance of the fort to find him again. Ask him to join the Inquisition and the Avvar will join. This reduces how long it takes Josephine to do missions by 5%.

The Storm Coast Agents [edit]

The Blades of Hessarian– Take the option to challenge the leader of the Blades by forging an Amulet of Mercy (requires 1 Deepstalker Hide and 2 Serpentstone) and wearing it to the Blades" keep. Defeat the leader and the Blades will join the inquisition as an Agent.

Val Royeaux Agents [edit]

Red Jenny Agents (and Sera)– After you complete the quest A Friend Of Red Jenny you can recruit Sera and her agents to your cause. This will open up new missions on your War Table.

Lady Vivienne(and her Mages)– Get the “Ghislain Estate” quest in Val Royeaux and go to the world map and head to the estate. After a bit of talking Lady Vivienne will talk to you one on one. Once the conversation finishes you can have her and her Mages join your cause. This will open up new missions on the War Table.

Belle– Belle is right next to the stage in a market booth. Talk to her after the chantry lady is punched in the face and she will ask to join the inquisition. She reduces time of Josephine's missions. No quests appear to have to do this.

Templars Or Mages? [edit]

You can only choose one to aid the Inquisition. The thing you will be most concerned with is which party member you get from your choice.

Mages– After you beat the quest In Hushed Whispers , you will be given the choice to take them prisoner and force them to work for you or make the m your allies. Letting them be free did garner some disapproval from most of my followers. This will also let you recruit Dorian if you want. If you don't pick the Mages you will need to wait until later in the game to recruit Dorian.

Templars– Doing the Champions Of The Just quest will get you the Templars as allies. At the end of the quest you can choose to make the Templars your allies or force them to server you. If you ally with them most of your partners will approve and they will join you. After you return to Haven you can have Cole join you. If you don't pick the Templars you will need to wait until later in the game to recruit Cole.

Exalted Plains Agents [edit]

Loranil– By completing the quest By The Grace Of The Dalish you can get Loranil. You need to earn Dalish favor by doing all of their quests in the area then you can recruit him. He reduces Cullen's mission time by 5%.

Skyhold Agents [edit]

Avaar Chief– You will judge him for your first judgment in the Skyhold. If you pick pick Arm and exile him to Tevinter it says you get him as a agent.

Servis– When you judge Servis make him an informant and he will join you as an agent. Servis reduces the time it takes for Leliana to complete missions.

Crestwood Agents [edit]

Jana– You can find Jana at the Crestwood village in one of the houses. She will want to join the Gray Wardens but if you have Solas with you he will convince her to join you instead.

Cassandra, Varric and Solas join you in the Prologue. You will not have the opportunity to refuse their company.

Unlike these three, you can refuse to recruit any of the following associates.

Vivien

After the scene with Lord Seeker Lucius during the quest “The Danger Has Not Passed,” an envoy from the Circle of Mages will appear at the Summer Market in Val Royeaux, who will give you an invitation to a party on behalf of a certain sorceress Vivien. This will give you the quest "Imperial Enchantress". Go to the indicated location (you need to go to the world map for this). After you watch the video and decide what to do with your opponent, Vivien will offer you her services.

Iron Bull

The quest “Captain Bulls” will appear in your journal after returning from Val Royeaux and talking with your advisors. Leave the Church and talk to the mercenary messenger - Cream. He will invite you to a meeting with the leader of their group, Iron Bull. The Iron Bull is located on the Storm Coast, very close to your first camp. Talk to him and you can recruit him as an ally, and the rest of his mercenaries will join the Inquisition as an additional military unit.

Sulfur

After you witness a strange meeting between Lord Seeker Lucius and the Reverend Mother Evara, following the quest “The Danger Has Not Passed,” just a few minutes later, while exploring the Summer Market, an arrow with a mysterious message will pierce the ground under your nose. This will activate the quest "Red Jenny's Friend".

According to the message, look for "red clothes" in the market, on the pier and in the tavern. Go to the designated places and look for the red scarf on the floor - to do this you need to activate the search button. It's not as difficult as it seems - the right place is marked with a quest marker, so you'll always have an idea of where exactly to start your search. In addition, the red scarf is quite bright and attracts attention. (But you still need to press the search button to activate it.) The tavern and pier are located on the same level, but the desired market is on the top - go to the map to be transported to the desired location (map levels can be changed in the upper right corner ). After you find all three messages, you will receive a key and a new location that you can visit by opening the world map. Go there, watch the video, kill the enemies that appear and make a decision whether or not to take an unexpected ally as your permanent companion.

Blackwall

After your return from Val Royeaux, Leliana will share with you her concerns about the strange disappearance of the Gray Wardens in Ferelden and Orlais. This will give you the Lone Guardian Quest. Go to the place marked on the map of the Inner Lands and help the Gray Guardian and his “recruits” fight off the attackers. After this, you will have the opportunity to get him as an ally.

Cole

You meet Cole during the quest "Defenders of Justice", although he will not join you during this stage of the quest. Cole himself will find you after completing the quest and you will have the opportunity to recruit him into your group.
If you did not follow the path of the templars and chose instead the quest “Tempting Whispers”, then Cole will find you when you start the next story quest, tell you what happened to the templars, and offer his services.

Dorian

Recruiting Dorian is virtually the same as recruiting Cole, except that you must go the mage route and choose the Tempting Whispers quest to meet him. (Theoretically, you can meet him and still choose the templars, since you can visit Redcliffe and talk to the mages before you get to the "point of no return". The point of no return for these two quests is the moment they both become available on your map of military operations.)

If you chose the quest “Tempting Whispers”, then Dorian will accompany you during this quest, and after it you will have the opportunity to recruit him for good. If you chose the “Defenders of Justice” quest, then, like Cole, Dorian will appear in the Vault himself at the beginning of your next story quest, tell you what happened to the magicians in Redcliffe, and offer his services.

The victorious march of the Inquisition across the lands of Denerim and Orlais in Dragon Age: Inquisition will begin with a small detachment. The power of the order will grow gradually, over time it will enlist the support of the nobility, apostates (magicians or templars), Gray Wardens and other allies, but before this happens, many problems will have to be solved that will fall on the head of the main character along with the demons from the hole in the sky . Responsibilities in the Inquisition are strictly divided between advisors: Josephine responsible for diplomacy Lelliana- reconnaissance, Cullen- troops. The order is managed from the command headquarters, where all important requests are received and key events are marked on the map. Each of the advisors has their own approach to solving assigned problems. The outcome of the assigned task and the time spent depend on the choice: you can act with words, cunning or brute force (there are no absolutely losing solutions).

Agents who can be recruited in all corners of Thedas help speed up the process of completing tasks; they are also able to open new specializations without spending points. Agent Recruitment in Dragon Age: Inquisition it usually begins with communication with a potential candidate, but not everyone agrees to join the Inquisition right away, everyone has their own reasons: some are busy, some don’t trust, some are waiting, some are simply afraid of the consequences of their choice. In such cases they come to the rescue satellites, which are able to convince the intractable (additional lines appear in the dialogue). If the companions' attempts are unsuccessful, the only way to recruit an agent is completing a small loyalty task. It is important not to miss the right moment for recruitment, otherwise the agent may disappear as the plot develops. Recruited agents are added to the advisors tab in the specialization selection window.

Agent locations for the Inquisition in Dragon Age: Inquisition:

Clemens pacified(task “In Secret”) - awaits a meeting with the Inquisitor in the Redcliffe tavern in Hinterlands. To recruit, just talk to him. Access to the village opens according to the plot, when you need to make a choice between magicians and templars. Helps Cullen with his work.
Vail Volunteers- for recruitment, it is necessary to complete, at the request of Corporal Veil, from the Crossroads in the Hinterlands, several tasks for refugees: mark 5 hiding places of renegades at the request of recruit Vitl, who stands near the cave in the western part of the settlement, in the task “At the Power of the Elements”; get 10 pieces of lamb at the request of a refugee hunter in the task “Pangs of Hunger” (sheep are found in the forest); persuade the healer from Redcliffe to move to the Crossroads in the task “The Healing Hand” (you need to be an elf or have Solas in your party); deal with renegade magicians and templars in the missions “Renegades in the Witchwood” and “Templars in the West.” Moving to Skyhold will automatically block access to quests. Returning to Corporal Veil, we ask him to “Hire the most skilled.” Companions will have a positive attitude towards accepting volunteers into the ranks of the Inquisition.
Alexius(task “Tempting Whispers”) - to recruit you need to take the side of the magicians and save the life of the master in order to decide his fate at the trial in Skyhold. Before the process, you need to learn “Secret Knowledge” on the command table (the “Secrets” tab), which will expand your knowledge of magic and add a new item to the dialogues. In the future, Alexius will issue tasks to strengthen the influence of the Inquisition and will stop acting in favor of Corypheus. Helps Lelliana with her work.
Blades of Hessarian(task “Placing Order”) - at the order table on the Stormy Coast, you need to make the “Coat of Arms of Mercy” amulet from the skin of a deep hunter (found in the caves opposite “Morrin’s Heights”) and two serpentines (hanging on the rocks along the shore), then put it on through the inventory and come to the Hessarian camp in the eastern part of the location, where you fight the leader.

We reach the marker from the task (north-west of the Inquisition camp near Sunset in the eastern part of the location), clear the camp from bandits, the bodies of two templars lie around the house, from the first we select a sword, from the second a letter that activates the task “Business Relations”. We are waiting for the moment when the plot opens access to the village of Redcliffe, we find Tanner in the camp in front of the entrance to the church. To recruit an agent, we use Cassandra, Varrick or the knowledge of the underworld, available for study for Inquisition points at the command table in the Vault or the castle in Skyhold in the Troops section, after which Tanner will begin to help Lelliana.

We select the letter from the body and deliver it to Lord Berand at the sectarian fortress, which is indicated by the marker on the map. While he is stunned by the news of his beloved’s death, we invite him to join the Inquisition.
Michel de Chevin(task “Call me Imshel”) - at the exit from the destroyed village, which is under the protection of the Inquisition in Emprise du Lyon, we find the former knight of Empress Selina, accused of treason and demoted. In the conversation, he will talk about his desire to defeat the demon Imshel, who has settled in the Suledin fortress. We do all the dirty work for him, after which the Inquisition will be replenished with a new agent who will help Cullen.
Ser Barris(task “Defenders of Justice”) - you need to side with the templars, refusing the support of the magicians. When searching for veterans and lyrium while defending the hall, we try to prevent the new ally’s health level from falling below 30%, otherwise he will die. After improving Skyhold, it will be possible to appoint Barris as a knight commander who will help Cullen.
Jenna- on the way from the Inquisition camp to Crestwood, we help the Gray Guardians deal with the revived corpses, we save the elf, who can later be found in one of the village houses.
