Anyone tell me the quickest way to get through the wicked hearts mission?  It's boring me to death a little like the fade mission in Origins.

 

Thanks.

[Cantina]

Well if you don't care who is ruler and any of the side quests.

 

 

Speak to Lilly in the ballroom.

 

Check out Morrigan's office.

 

Return to the ballroom.

 

Speak to Morrigan.

 

Go to the servants quarters.

 

Return to the ballroom.

 

Head to the Guest Quarters.

 

Complete.

 

Should take you only bout 20mins...30 if you don't skip the cut-scenes- give or take.

 

 

 

Yes, I agree its VERY freaking boring. I loathe that quest like STDS

[Greetsme]

Thanks, that helps greatly.  I couldn't bare to go back there without a solution.  I was running around like a mad hater, clicking everything, trying to get to the end of this mission.  It got to the point I wanted to murder the frigging Empress myself.

Just spent over a hour trying to find Morrigan's office.  That make's around 4 hours I have wasted on this bloody awful mission.  I give up. This game just got really bad, really quickly.

 

Can I ignore this mission and still complete the game?

[Madfox11]

Nope. It is central to the game. Personally I actually love it, especially the banter during the dance and the final scene in which you can prevent a boss fight through talking. Mind you, you do have to pay attention to your surroundings: blood tracks to follow, off-hand comments made by various people, etc. It is very story focussed and if you speed through conversations, you are bound to miss a lot of nuances.

 

Hint: follow the blood tracks, it leads you to an area where you can climb up the wall.

Looks like you had the same problem as I did on my first run, which is that the game does not make clear where you need to go, partly because the maps are so poor and confusing.

 

However, if you just watch a few videos of it, you can easily find Morrigan's office in like 2 minutes after the ballroom cutscene.

[Greetsme]

Yes, I watched a walkthrough, so was able to get past it.  That mission was terribly made, so vague, so silly.  I hope there's no more like that in the rest of the game.

I did enjoy the dance though.

I'm level 23 right now and still haven't done Wicked yet because I dislike it so much. But I'm good at running through it pretty fast after doing it so many times. For the first time, I'm not playing a human so maybe we'll get kicked out as soon as we arrive since I'm playing an elf and taking Sera, Solas, and Iron Bull. Not a human in sight! At least my elf isn't a mage on top of it all.

I must be the only person who liked Wicked Hearts.

I'm with you. ;-) It is always a blast! And the dancing!

There is a court yard climb up a fence and take the door in the center.

The timer is what bothers me about Wicked. I don't know how much time I really have to do things and I get anxious about not getting the timing right. Don't want to be too early or too late. I just don't like time limits at all. 

 

Plus, in real life, I don't like to dress up or go to parties.

I agree.

 

The timer drove me up a wall. And when I did not have enough time to say, get everything in Morrigan's office, I had to back-track. Ugh.

 

And every time I watch my female Inquisitor dance with the Duchess, I cringe. Its so clunky.

[Krypplingz]

I love Wicked Hearts. Tried to do a speed run and wrote down the path I took. Although it's a bit rambly it's pretty much the bare necessities with minimum fluff. _{(Also this post has been heavily edited, so sorry about that. And sorry if any part of this comes off as aggressive. It's not supposed to, but it can happen.)}

 

Spoiler

Start the quest. 

Go up the stairs and to the entrance gate. Don't enter the palace right away, but go up the balcony on your right and snag the Halla in the corner. 

Now enter the palace and go to the ball room. Exit the Ballroom after the cutscene with Celene and talk to Leliana.

 

Morrigans room + sneaky elves

Go into the hallway in front of you and run straight through it. In the next room, turn left and run to the end of the room.  (Note the blue door in the middle of the room)

At the end of the room, enter the arch on your left and run to the door on the right. Press V by the flower pot and grab the cylinder seal. Now run back to the blue door. Enter it and talk to the trio. 

Go to the bard and face the same direction as she.  Run straight ahead, to the wall on the left side of the fountain and climb it. 

Enter the halla door on your left and pick up the letter named negotiations. Exit the room and go through the door you where facing when you climbed up the fence. 

Enter the room and go to the bookcase in the left corner in the end of the room. Press V and pull the book, a secret room opens. Enter it and grab the letter on the desk. 

The bell rings. Go out of the secret room and enter the door on your left (doesn't matter which). Go down the stairs and straight across the room. Enter either of the two doors on your left. Go down the stairs and enter the ballroom. 

 

Servants quarters

Talk to Morrigan. Then turn around and go to the hallway on your left.  Go down the stairs, turn left and enter the door at the end of the room. (Feel free to save before you enter in case you take too long).

Equip your party. Then turn left and exit into the open air. Run straight to the fountain (dropping down the wall).  A cutscene plays. Try to note where the mooks enter (left from where you were when you dropped). Kill the mooks, then run through the leafy hallway.

Once the garden tunnel ends, turn right.

Run straight ahead, past the cart. (Kill the mage and his two goons) then enter the first door on your right.  Go through the archway on your right.  Kill the two venatori in front of you then turn left and go up the stairs in the corner.  

 

Run to the fence and turn left and run straight ahead. There are some venatori in the side room you might need to kill. Kill them, then go through the archway you were running towards. Turn left and run to the next room, turn left and HARLEQUIN SURPRISE (try to save a focus bar so you can dispose of the group with mark of the rift). Kill her and chat to Briala.  

 

After the chat put a barrier on your mage and make them jump over the fence, so they jump down to the fountain area.  Go through the garden tunnel on your right and turn left at the end. Go up the stairs. 

Or run out on the balcony and turn right. Go through the broken fence and straight ahead until you touch the leafy wall. Turn right and straight until you reach the end of the wall, then go around it and move straight ahead until you reach the stairs.  (there should be an elf lady at the bottom.) Go up the stairs and enter the door. 

Run to the ballroom and dance with Flo. The court approves of middle answers and you trusting the inquisition. 

 

Empress pantaloons

Then exit the ballroom and run to the end of the room. Turn right at the dwarves and up the stairs. 

Equip your party. Run up the stairs to your left, through the archway at the top and to the door at first door at the end of the room. HARLEQUIN SURPRISE. Talk to the elf. When the cutscene ends you'll be facing the windows. 

Turn around and go into the arch in the left corner of the room.

Go through the hall then turn left when you enter the room with the scaffolding and cloth.  Run ahead and stop at the big pile of timber. (Save your game, this is the point of no return if you want to go and fetch halla, secrets and tiny cake.)

 

Enter the room, talk to Florienne, close the rift and talk to the fereldan man. After all that find the door with a blue ribbon on of it. The door you need is opposite that one. 

You should end up in a chapel. Kill the mooks and exit through the next door and go down the stairs. There are two harlequins and some mooks in the room to the left, so dispose of them (or run past them), then enter the door opposite of where you entered. 

Run into the middle of the room!, take the door on your left then exit the final door to the grand finale. 

! If you are low on court approval and health, then turn right and enter the door to the kitchen. On the right side of the fire place there is a supply cache. Refill your stock, then enter the way you came, go right around the statue and enter the door on the wall in front of you.

Wicked Hearts was intriguing my first time around. Admittedly, it doesn't hold up during multiple playthroughs.

[correctamundo]

They should have more timers =).

[Greetsme]

I guess when you know where to go and what to do, it's not all that bad.  You can concentrate more on the plot, it's twists and turns.  The first part really needs looking at though, it could drive even the most seasoned player up the wall.

[Ieldra]

I must be the only person who liked Wicked Hearts.

It's one of my favorite missions. You win this by paying attention to people and by investigating, rather than just slashing your way to the conclusion. I think it's also more popular than you might think.

[berelinde]

I must be the only person who liked Wicked Hearts.

It's one of my favorite quests. It seems to be a divisive one. People love it or they hate it.

[Cantina]

LOL! When I go into a fantasy style game, I want to kill ****. Not don a dress and a mask and chit-chat about the weather with some up tight nobles who back-stab each other for fun.

 

Course I'm the same way with most movies. Ugh, would an Alien break out already and kill people. Maybe a guy with an uzi? Please. Before I fall asleep.

[Madfox11]

I wouldn't worry too much about the timer... I think you have to work hard to get it at zero, and anything higher than that is fine for the adventure. Like I said, personally I liked it, but I do agree it is a bit vague at times.

[Ieldra]

LOL! When I go into a fantasy style game, I want to kill ****. Not don a dress and a mask and chit-chat about the weather with some up tight nobles who back-stab each other for fun.

Ugh....that mindset is probably one of the reasons why the ridiculous overabundance of combat in crpgs persists to this day.

 

BTW, what has the genre "fantasy" to do with killing stuff? I can imagine various other more enjoyable activities.

[Vorathrad]

I enjoyed it the first time, even if it was quite disappointed as that wasn't what I expected an Orlesian ball to be (I didn't feel I wasn't playing the Game at all, in the end it's really fetching stuff and fighting) Though I greatly enjoy the conversations bit, I wish it had been more conversational. 

 

My main gripe with it is how absurdly convoluted is to get a certain result, and especially how in game you lack the information on what exactly you need if you're going for a certain ruler. I am under the impression that they confused "have to work your way through it" with "not enough information".

[caradoc2000]

WEaWH is not bad at all, you can also play through it quite quickly if you so choose.

[Wulfram]

I really disliked the halla statues, that was just silly and tedious, and it also seems to make a first playthrough rather a lottery, since its pretty hard to make a reasonable decision about which doors to open.
Court approval could have been interesting if it hadn't amounted to "pick middle every time", but it did.
The characters involved aren't exactly likeable, and we're given little reason to actually care about Orlais since we barely interact with the place.
Reconciling Celene and Briala still seems cheap to me. Nothing really seems to have changed since Masked Empire, they just decide to forget everything because the Inquisitor said so. I can rationalise it a bit by assuming that Briala is basically pretending because with the Civil War over being a Marquise is the best deal available, but that doesn't seem to be the interpretation encouraged by the writing.

I wouldn't call it bad, exactly, but it was disappointing.
