Promoting Barris is a side quest in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
With the death of the false Lord Seeker, the templars are without a commanding officer. Ser Barris has led templar forces through several successful operations—displaying bravery, quick thinking, and resourcefulness. He would make an excellent knight-commander.
Acquisition[]
Available once Barris' war table operation chain has been completed. The operations that must first be completed are:
Save Val Colline from the Venatori- Have Ser Barris Lead Against Demons
- Investigate Man Accused of Abomination
Walkthrough[]
Noting the bug below, when you interact with the throne to judge a prisoner, a cutscene will begin where the Inquisitor promotes Barris to the position of Knight-Commander of the Templar Order.
Rewards[]
- Barris is promoted to Knight-Commander of the Templar Order.
Notes[]
- This quest and the three prerequisite war table operations are only available if the Templars are asked to rebuild and join the Inquisition as free allies at the end of Champions of the Just, and only if Barris survives. Likewise, they will not be available if Barris dies, the Templars are conscripted, or if either decision regarding the Mages at Redcliffe Castle is made at the end of In Hushed Whispers.
Bugs[]
- This quest is bugged, as the game does not allow for the Inquisitor sit on the throne to promote Barris directly; the only work around is to initiate an available judgment, so that when the Inquisitor sits to judge, the game automatically loads the quest.
