Sutherland and Company Missing is a side quest in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

The location of Sutherland's company has been revealed and swift action is required if the young group is to be found.

Acquisition

Unlocked upon completion of the war table operation Sutherland and Company Missing.

Note: Once this quest is active, it must be completed the next time the Storm Coast is visited. If the area is left prior to saving Sutherland and his crew, the quest is moved to the "Completed Quests" section of the journal, and will state that the "quest is no longer available."

Note: Additional, acquiring Demands of the Qun and traveling to the Coast may cause the unintentional failure of Sutherland and Company Missing, see notes below for details.

Walkthrough

Travel to the Storm Coast and locate Sutherland and company in the Westridge region, roughly in the same area as one of the tunnels from Keeping the Darkspawn Down and a Wardens of the Coast camp. Assist them in defeating a small group of darkspawn to complete the quest. Speak to Sutherland for a bit of dialogue.

Rewards

• None (except XP from killing the darkspawn)

Results

• Unlocks war table operation A Company of Heroes.

Notes

• If the quests Demands of the Qun and Sutherland and Company Missing are both currently active, it is recommend to not have Iron Bull in the active party when traveling to the Storm Coast as Demands of the Qun will trigger as soon as the party enters the area. If this occurs Sutherland and Company Missing can no longer be triggered, and when searching the "Completed Quests" section of the journal under the Storm Coast, it will state: "The quest is no longer available".
• Blackwall slightly approves after killing darkspawn, if brought along.

Bugs

• Even if completed properly, the quest may not appear in the "Completed Quests" section of the journal.
• The quest can bug, and a single or all of the Darkspawn be rendered "unkillable." The reason for the bug is unknown, but a possible cause may be attacking the Darkspawn from a distance before Sutherland and his crew speak their scripted lines. However, reloading from a previous save or the entirety of the Storm Coast, and proceeding to attempt the quest normally can fix the problem. It can also be fixed via commands on the PC, but users of the console versions will have to try the reload methods. Possibly several times, as the bug sometimes is loaded along with the area, making it impossible to know it's there until you see it. Fortunately all of Sutherland's crew cannot die.
  • If a save is created with bug, there unfortunately is no way backtrack, as the bug was saved as well.
  • pcxbox360 The bugged Darkspawn could be killed with Mark of the Rift.
• On completing the war table operation Sutherland and Company Missing, the quest of the same name may not trigger properly.
  • After returning to Skyhold from the Coast, only Shayd will be encountered in the tavern. She will inform the Inquisitor that the rest of crew are "dead" and "it was good while it lasted." To fix this bug reload a save prior to the war table operation being completed.
