Changes: Agents

Revision as of 11:43, 7 June 2020

Throughout their journey, the Inquisitor has the opportunity to recruit several agents to work for the Inquisition. Many of them can be missed and some might disappear if they are not recruited immediately.

Once they have been recruited, they will work for Cullen, Josephine, or Leliana and will count as perks for the purpose of unlocking other perks within the relevant category (Forces, Secrets, or Connections). They will also reduce the time it takes for the relevant advisor to complete war table missions by 5% each.

On some occasions other than the ones listed here, the graphic "Agent Acquired" may show but a new agent will not be added to the perks list. Influence may still be gained in these cases.

Totals

Some totals are given as ranges as there are cases where the Inquisitor has a choice of where to allocate the agent.

Allocation	Count
Connnections	6-8
Forces	8-9
Inquisition	1
Secrets	7-8

Agent Locations

Recruitment

Perk

Jana

After the encounter with the Grey Wardens between the North Gate Camp, where you arrive, and the Village of Crestwood, go to the nearby house to find Jana.

If you help the villagers and talk to Crestwood's mayor, Gregory Dedrick, first, then she will move from her house to the top of the stairs outside the mayor's house.

Solas can convince her to join the Inquisition instead of the Grey Wardens, or the Inquisitor can choose an alternate conversation option if they have the Nobility Knowledge perk.

If you wait too long and enter the Flooded Caves during the quest Still Waters, Jana will not be available for recruiting anymore.

Possible approval changes during recruitment:

Solas Approves (If asked to help or if Nobility perk is used)
Sera Slightly Disapproves (If Solas asked for help)
Dorian Slightly Approves (If Nobility Knowledge perk is used)
Sera Approves (If Nobility Knowledge perk used)
Cole Approves (Gained whether he's in the party or not)

Note: If you tell Jana to not join the Grey Wardens when you first encounter her (the bottom option in the conversation wheel), then Blackwall Slightly Disapproves, whether he's in the active party or not. This is not necessary to recruit her as an agent.

If you do not persuade Jana to join the Inquisition, she will be used as a blood sacrifice at Adamant Fortress during Here Lies the Abyss.
