Skin Deep is a side quest received from the Chanter's Board in Redcliffe Village or Denerim.

The Chantry would like an enterprising and well-traveled adventurer to collect nine samples of corpse gall. If, by chance, the aforementioned adventurer should find themselves so lucky as to have an abundance of corpse gall, the Chantry will gladly pay extra for them.

Walkthrough

Corpse gall will be found on Devouring corpses and Enraged corpses. Suggestions for farming include:

Werewolf Lair, during the Nature of the Beast quest.

Redcliffe Village, during The Attack at Nightfall quest.

Redcliffe Castle, when investigating the "disturbance".

Circle Tower, third floor in the Great Hall during Broken Circle quest.

Circle Tower, fourth floor in the Templar Quarters during Broken Circle quest.

Note: If you talk to a Chantry representative while this quest is active and you have more than 9 samples (to complete other quests for example), you will automatically complete this quest. Simply do not accept the quest until you have more than 18 samples, or avoid speaking to a Chantry representative with less than 18 samples, to get the higher reward.

Once the desired amount of corpse gall has been obtained, return to any Chantry representative for a reward.

Note: If you haven't completed the quest before "The Final Onslaught", it'll still automatically count as completed once you've collected enough samples from the undead encounters during the quest.

Bugs

• xbox360pc The Corpse Gall is not removed from your inventory, though it is under Plot Items so it does not affect your weight.
