Hey all,

 

I don't think I have seen a comprehensive list on the trigger for companion's personal quests in this forum (except in bits and pieces scattered everywhere). I am wondering what is the actual trigger for each companion's personal quests? I have had Dorian bugged on me and a couple of companions not firing correctly in some of my friends' games... So let's just match up and pool what we know?

 

Also, I'm pretty sure (by now) that all the collecting (e.g: Blackwall's Grey Warden Memories) or killing quests (One Less Venatori) are not necessary to trigger the actual companion quests (those that can potentially change their tarot cards)... And then there are confusions about which quest is romance specific (or not)...

 

And then there is also approval to take note of, some people said that companion's quest will not trigger if their approval towards your Inquisitor is low (yet there are many people who have had Sera who absolutely hated their Quizzy and still got her quest). Or is there anything that can "prevent" the quest from firing???

 

*Spoilers abound of course*

 

 

Sera 

Personal quest: "The Verchiel March" - the quest where you go to a one time area of Crestwood where you confronted the nobles who had been kiling her Red Jenny friends. You have the option to let Sera kill the noble or let him "work" with the Inquisition?

Trigger: Red Jenny wartable missions???

 

Dorian

Personal Quest: Last Resort of Good Men? (Meet his father in Redcliffe after getting the quest from Mother Gisele in Skyhold's Throne Room).

 

Trigger: *This quest totally bugged on me and I could not get it, so help me here* - Apparently you needed to get the cutscene with Dorian receiving a letter from Felix?

Romance Quest: ????

 

Varric

Personal Quest: Well **** - Investigate red lyrium trade with Bianca

 

Trigger: Here Lies the Abyss (Grey Warden Storyline) completed.

 

Cass

Personal Quest: Promise of Destruction - Find the missing Seekers and Lucius.

 

Trigger: ??? (I completed Here Lies the Abyss but not Wicked Hearts and Wicked Eyes when it triggered).

 

Romance Quest: Guilty Pleasures - Buying Cassandra some romantic stuffs

 

Trigger: Ask Varric to finish writing his book for Cass?

-> *This is what my Cass romancing friend told me - can anyone confirmed?*

 

Blackwall

Personal Quest: Revelations - Attend Mornay's execution in Val Royeux

 

Trigger: Complete Here Lies the Abyss *and* Wicked Hearts and Wicked Eyes. 

-> *note*: My friend somehow could not get it to trigger and he is positive that Blackwall's disposition is high... He did banish the Wardens however. There are also people who only managed to get it to trigger towards the end of the game, and not necessarily right after the completion of Halamshiral plotline.

 

Romance Quest: Explanations - take a trip with him to the Storms Coast.

 

Cole

Personal Quest: Subjected to His Will (Obtain an Amulet for Cole to prevent him from being controlled)

 

Trigger: ???

 

Vivienne

Personal Quest: Bring me the Heart of Snow White -> kill the white Wyvern

 

Trigger: Complete Wicked Hearts and Wicked Eyes (and/or Here Lies the Abyss?)

 

Solas

Personal Quest: All New, Faded for Her - Help Solas

 

Trigger: ??

 

*Note: This is a very buggy quest and many people could not complete it even though they received the quest. The trick is to approach the quest marker from the North (and not South; from the river/Dalish camp) and to examine a couple of dead bodies nearby before going to the Pride Demon. Some people also mentioned that they have to close the Fade Rift nearby to trigger properly???

 

*** Solas supposedly have another quest (What Lies Dormant) that is triggered after you activated 10 or more Elven Artifacts (from Measuring the Veil) - this quest apparently does not trigger for anyone atm.

 

Iron Bull

Personal Quest: Demands of the Qun

Trigger: ??? (I got the quest after repeatedly talking to Iron Bull with high disposition and after completing the scene where the Quizzy hangs out with the Chargers at the bar).

 

Romance Quest: Tough Love - Craft a necklace made from Dragon's Tooth

 

 

 

 

I think that's it? Personally, my initial intention was to help my friend ask why he could not trigger Blackwall's quest (the only one not triggering for him, and wonder whether banishing the Wardens played a part in it). Then I figure, I might as well just ask around how to correctly trigger companion's quests for future playthrough. Kinda disappointed at how some flags are just really badly done atm.

[X Equestris]

I've heard Bull's quest triggers at a certain approval level and requires that you ask him about his work with the Ben-Hassrath. I can't speak for the others, though.

[AshenEndymion]

Cole's requires Here Lies the Abyss to be completed(he doesn't freak out and want to be controlled until he finds out Corypheus is controlling demons).  It might be approval-based too, but i can guarantee that it won't appear before Here Lies the Abyss is complete.

Sera

The Verchiel March is the War Table operation 'A Platoon for Sera and Verchiel,' if I'm not mistaken. Complete that--it's in Orlais, by the way--and then she'll suggest you should go with her to get paid. Mayhem ensues! (if the quest bothers to function properly which it did not my first time through). I think that you always get the Red Jenny missions ('The Inquisition needs Beeeees!,' 'Red Jenny Attends a Party,' etc) regardless of her personal approval until/unless you kick her out. Same as the Ben-Hassrath reports the Iron Bull gets--though you can get rid of those in a non-approval-tied way.

 

The quest that changes her card, however, is actually the 'Pranks with Sera'--not what that's called, I don't think--where your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be running around pulling pranks on your advisors so that they, and you by association, seem more human instead of all 'big and scary.'

 

Dorian

You're right on Dorian's personal quest. He gets a letter regarding Felix and I'm not sure if it matters what you say or not because I pretty much always pick the same options and I haven't had it bug yet (knock on wood). Shame it's bugging for some folks.

 

I think his romance quest started up after 'Last Resort of Good Men' concluded and there was the 'spurious rumours' conversation with Mother Giselle which occurs right after. Can't recall what it's called right off but it's the 'Retrieve House Pavus Sigil From Surly Val Royeaux Merchant' quest.

 

Varric

If you want to know card changes as well, his changes after 'Here Lies the Abyss' regardless of your decisions. And then I'm not sure if it's after his personal quest or after Wicked Grace, specifically. Those are back to back and I'm always finishing up one and punching the button to go on to the next because it's hilarious and I enjoy watching people bond over weird card games and terrible stories.

 

Cassandra

'Guilty Pleasures' is Cassandra's miniquest which requires you to persuade Varric to finish the latest Swords & Shields, and not her romance quest.

 

I've never gotten Cassandra's card to change before the epilogue (depending on the outcome) except in the one playthrough where she was romanced. Not even her Caer Oswin quest changed the card.

 

Though the Shopping Trip(s) quest is the romance quest. I didn't get it until after Wicked Eyes (definitely because she wouldn't dance with my quizzie), (possibly after) Here Lies the Abyss, (and possibly not even until after Caer Oswin but that was my fourth playthrough and the timelines have gotten all muddled for me, apologies for that). If you'd like her wishlist, she wants the 'total package;' a man who can woo her with poetry, bring her flowers, and set the mood with candlelight.

 

Blackwall

Anymore, I typically do 'Wicked Eyes, Wicked Hearts' after Crestwood, but before dealing with Adamant for 'Here Lies the Abyss' and I haven't had any problems getting 'Revelations' to trigger, even the one time where I banished the Wardens but allowed him to stay.

 

No clue about the romance.

 

Cole

Ashen Endymion is correct on when Cole's triggers.

 

Vivienne

I've never gotten 'Bring Me The Heart of Snow White' until after both 'Here Lies the Abyss' and 'Wicked Eyes, Wicked Hearts,' for whatever that's worth.

 

Solas

Strange. I typically approach that from the direction you say causes it not to work. Though I do get rather close to the obviously spawned 'friend' sometimes before it triggers. When Solas' approval of my Inquisitor is high, I have gotten this quest as early as the second attempt at conversation at Skyhold (frequently my first yields what I'm assuming is the prerequisite 'Fade Field Trip' conversation).

 

I have also never gotten that 'Activate Ten Artifacts' mission...but after hearing about it and counting the number I've turned on...I've topped out at about eight, so I haven't earned it yet. Which is fine by me. Still can't tell if it's a good idea or an elaborate trap. ;D

 

Romance is in the 'Fade Field Trip.' Beware which option you pick or you could sideline yourself. I did, and didn't even notice. Because the card doesn't change until practically right before the last mission (right after yet another would-be romantic field trip...if someone wasn't cursed with impossibly horrible timing...and possibly judgement.

 

The Iron Bull

I usually get this after 'Wicked Eyes' and 'Here Lies the Abyss.' Can't remember now if I've picked up any earlier. Doesn't mean it's plot-locked, though. I just usually don't rack up a lot of approval fast with this guy. Unlike Solas, go figure. Definitely after the 'Meet the Recruits' and 'Meet the Chargers' scenes, though. And if you go for the 'I'm not sure I want anything to do with the Qunari,' it turns into a quest on your map instead of a port...at least I think it's a port now, but maybe it just auto-triggers when you get to the Storm Coast? Definitely doesn't auto-trigger if you said you thought more Qunari would be a bad idea. I've been doing that lately. Partly because I'd really rather not go through the whole 'Do the right thing, Hissrad!' bit again. Just to pick the 'Uh, how about no?' option and have that whole fallout.

[katerinafm]

For Dorian's quest, I got it right after I got Skyhold and I traveled to the Hinterlands, went to Valammar (irrelevant, just saying I did finish a/more quests) and then went back to Skyhold (which triggered Skyhold not being completely new/bar was now open, etc. Then got the Dorian talking about Felix cutscene, then went to the throne room where Mother Giselle tells you about a letter.

Had you completed any of the main missions after Skyhold before getting the romance quest? Finding the Warden, Winter palace?

[Priisus]

I got Blackwall's romance quest after I got Skyhold (and after the scene where he takes you up to the battlement of Skyhold and commented about the defense). I got Cass' book scene right after getting Skyhold too... Which I assume sets the prerequisite for her romance quest if your Quizzy flirted with her?

 

I am taking a wild guess here that most of the romance quest starts after completing In Your Heart Shall Burn. I am not sure if it gets blocked if you went too crazy with the main quests and started Wicked Hearts/Here Lies the Abyss.

 

I am about to complete my first playthrough, and thus I cannot speak for other romance quests besides Blackwall's at this moment... And also the reason why I am not able to answer my friend's question on whether his personal quest is affected by the decision to banish the Wardens (which uhhh... I won't do for nostalgia's sake). Can somebody help me on this one (there gotta be peeps who banished the Wardens here in the forum)?

 

I also tried reloading the save where I just got Skyhold, and increased the heck out of Dorian's disposition before talking to him to see if I could trigger his quest (or even the Felix's letter scene) to no avail.

 

Thanks guys, keep the replies coming

Promise of destruction can be started AFTER you meet hawke and his grey warden in crestwood.
