All New, Faded for Her is a companion quest for Solas in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

One of Solas's old friends, a spirit, has been summoned against its will and needs his help.

Acquisition

The quest is initiated by talking to Solas in Skyhold, after several conversations with him there.

Walkthrough

Travel to Exalted Plains with Solas, where the spirit is located on the western edge of the area. On the way there, the party will notice some blooded corpses on the ground. When reaching the spirit, who has been corrupted and taken a form of a pride demon, a cutscene will occur where a group of mages is shown to be behind summoning the spirit.

• Approval changes

Deal with the pride demon. The Inquisitor can either kill the demon or destroy the surrounding ice pillars, which ends the battle and starts another cutscene. With either the Rift Mage specialization or the Arcane Knowledge perk it is possible to take a special dialogue option using this knowledge to more quickly disrupt the summoning circle. This results in the pillars beginning at half health. After that, it is possible to let Solas either kill the mages he considers responsible or stop him. Either way he will temporarily leave the party.

Return to Skyhold to speak with Solas and resolve the quest.

Results

• 85 XP for each pillar destroyed

and for completing the quest:

• 1025 XP
• 400 Influence
• 3 Power

Notes

• If the Inquisitor is an elf, a translated version of the exchange between Solas and the spirit will appear in the subtitles.

Bugs

• The cutscene will occur only if the dead mages are found and examined. Otherwise, when the spirit is found, the cutscene will not occur. Saving and reloading can help to initate the cutscene. One can also try traveling to Skyhold and back. Otherwise saving the game before approaching the area is highly advised.
• On all versions, the game may crash upon attacking or destroying the Summoning Stones. Additionally, the game may crash after the first cutscene if you attack the demon before the stones.
• Sometimes the dialogue between Solas and the spirit is not translated for elven Inquisitors, as it is meant to be.
