'''The Forgotten Boy''' is a [[Companion quests (Inquisition)|companion quest]] for [[Cole]] in ''[[Dragon Age: Inquisition]]''.

{{Blockquote|''After the dust settled, Cole was nowhere to be found. It's hard to believe he isn't hanging around somewhere in [[Skyhold]].''}}

== Acquisition ==
This quest is automatically started when the Inquisition relocates to Skyhold, unless [[Champions of the Just]] was completed and [[the Inquisitor]] chose not to recruit [[Cole]] at the end of the quest.

== Walkthrough ==
This quest is somewhat unique as it is simply one cutscene with the Inquisitor, [[Solas]], [[Cassandra]] and [[Vivienne]] (if she has already been recruited). Who, or what, Cole is and how to deal with him is at the heart of the discussion. In the end, the Inquisitor will decide whether to recruit Cole or not.

Descend the long set of stairs beneath Skyhold's main door and interact to ''Look for Cole...''

Possible approval changes are as follows:

'''Solas: If you prefer, although the truth is somewhat more complex.'''
*He helped us.
::{{Approval3|Solas Slightly Approves}}
::{{Approval3|Vivienne Slightly Disapproves}}
:*How complex?
::''(No approval change)''
:*If he's a demon, he's gone.
::{{Approval3|Solas Slightly Disapproves}}
::{{Approval3|Vivienne Approves}}

'''Solas: Cole is unique, Inquisitor.  More than that, he wishes to help.  I suggest you allow him to do so.'''
:Q Explain more of possession / What of demons at the Breach? ''(repeat w/o option)''
::{{Approval3|Solas Slightly Approves}}
:*I'll talk with him.
::''(No approval change)''
:*I'll get rid of him.
::{{Approval3|Solas Slightly Disapproves}}
::{{Approval3|Vivienne Approves}}

'''Cole: I learned how to be more like what I am.  It made me different, but stronger.  I can feel more.  I can help.'''
*Stay and help us. ''(Cole will join the Inquisition.)''
:{{Approval3|Solas Approves}}
::{{Approval3|Vivienne Greatly Disapproves}}PC: got just "Vivienne disapproves" ("...he's gone" and "will get rid of him" were chosen earlier)
:*Leave.  Now. ''(Cole will leave the Inquisition forever.)''
::{{Approval3|Solas Greatly Disapproves}}
::{{Approval3|Vivienne Approves}}

'''Cole: Every moment will be agony. He wants mercy. Help.'''
:* End his pain.
::''(no approval change)''
:* Give him a chance.
::{{Approval3|Cole Greatly Approves}}

{{Note|Cole's Approval may differ; see the [[Talk:The Forgotten Boy#Cole's approval|talk page]] for more information.}}

== Rewards ==
* None

== Results ==
* Cole is either recruited permanently or told to leave forever.
* {{:Codex entry: Cole|style=iconmini}} is updated:
**If he is recruited, the entry will now contain a letter about him from Cassandra to the Inquisitor.
**If he leaves, all previous text is removed and the codex entry will simply state, "The Inquisition knows of no one by this name."

== Notes ==
* If Vivienne was not recruited, she won't be present for the quest, but it otherwise plays normally.
