Bring Me the Heart of Snow White is a companion quest for Vivienne in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Vivienne requires the heart of a wyvern to complete an alchemical formula. Though all wyvern hearts look more or less the same, she specified that it needs to be from a rare beast known as the snowy wyvern.

Acquisition

This quest is received when talking to Vivienne and accepting her request that the Inquisitor find and kill a snowy wyvern and bring her its heart so that she can complete an alchemical formula. Vivienne does not specify at this point why she needs the formula. Available after Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts.

Walkthrough

The wyvern is in the northern part of the Exalted Plains. The Inquisitor needs to unlock and complete the war table operation Gain Access to Ghilan'nain's Grove in order to access the grove where wyverns are located. The location for acquiring this operation can be found a ways east from an ocularum, north of Fort Revasan. It costs 5 Power to complete.

Snowy Wyvern found in Ghilan'nain's Grove.

Upon unlocking the area, when the Inquisitor first passes through the newly opened tunnel, they are given a quest to clear a group of wyverns from the camp site. It is possible to collect a heart from these and return them to Vivienne, pretending it is the heart she seeks.

To find the snowy wyvern, continue on north, following the quest marker. As there is a dragon near the center of the same area, it is best to stay close to the northwestern edge. On the way, pick up the codex entry Ghilan'nain: Mother of the Halla and claim the landmark Broken Dog.

Upon returning to Skyhold, hand in the quest to Vivienne.

Note: "Vivienne's Alchemy Notes" can be found in her room once the quest has been given. The notes provide insight into the purpose of the heart but the Inquisitor cannot talk to Vivienne about the notes and finding them has no bearing on the quest outcome. It does, however, give the player 50-150 XP for reading it (depending on perks taken).

• Enchanter's Seat (Mage throne)

Results and Approval

When returning to Vivienne with the heart, the Inquisitor is presented with a conversation choice. Results are as follows:

• I've got the heart. Now talk. - Vivienne Disapproves
  • [Lie.] Here's the heart. - Vivienne Greatly Disapproves
  • Very well, here it is. - Vivienne Greatly Approves
  • Then no deal. - Vivienne states she will procure the heart by other means and the quest ends. No rewards are given.
• I've got it - Vivienne Greatly Approves
• [Lie.] I've brought the heart. - Vivienne Greatly Disapproves
• Not yet. - Ends the conversation, quest remains in the quest log

• Rewards are always the same, regardless of the conversation options (except the "no deal" option)
• Whether the Inquisitor lies or gives Vivienne the real heart, Bastien's fate is always the same
• If Vivienne is given the snowy wyvern heart, the next conversation the Inquisitor initiates with Vivienne relates to her history with her lover and there are several additional opportunities for approval depending on conversation choices
• If Vivienne is given the common wyvern heart, Vivienne will reveal that she's aware of the Inquisitor's duplicity and there are several additional opportunities for disapproval depending on conversation choices
