This can be done by either physically traveling to another area via the World Map or conversing with Solas using the: [Special] "tell me more of yourself." A scene will trigger with Solas taking the Inquisitor to Haven via a dream (see Solas' approval page for this option's prerequisites).

Notes[]

  • Chantry Garden: Provides a one time war table mission, it does not however allow tithes to be collected from the chapel as the description implies.
  • Herb Garden: Growing herbs in the garden can provide a steady amount of extra gold. The number of planters differs depending on class. Three for warriors or six for mages and rogues. With all relevant Inquisition perks (Connections, sterling reputation and elite clientele) the most profitable herbs are rare tier 3 (Felandaris, etc.) which sell for 30 Currency (Inquisition) each.
  • Skyhold planters do not benefit by from Optimal Cutting Inquisition perk.

Bugs[]

  • pcPC The requisition table states crafting the "Skyhold Garden" will grant 1 Power, however upon completion zero power is awarded.
  • pcPC Once a garden upgrade is selected, Codex entry: Skyhold Garden Codex entry: Skyhold Garden automatically unlocks and a scroll will appear on the well. Interacting with the scroll will grant XP regardless of the garden upgrade selected.
  • The unlocked scroll will contribute to the Patron of the Arts song collection only if the Herb Garden option is selected. If the Chantry Garden option is selected purchasing the codex from Willvan afterwards does not update the collection counter. However, the collection can still be completed once all available songs have been obtained.
