Special objects

  • A "Landmark Tree" can be used to activate Mabari Dominance.
  • There is an "abandoned" campsite near the Grand Oak. Upon entering the area, you will get a cutscene telling you that the camp seems recently abandoned and that you should investigate. Examining any combination of the three objects (fire pit, bedroll and tent) leads to your party falling asleep and being attacked by a Greater Shade, with only the person with the highest willpower score left awake to fight it, unless Wynne is with you, who will then use her plot spell, Vessel of the Spirit to stay awake (though she will be recovering, thus unavailable, for a few seconds into the combat) beside the surviving person. However, if you have either the Great Oaks' Branch or the Hermit's Werewolf Pelt, the Shade's illusion will immediately dissipate, as it attacks you. Unlike the above option though, you will now sometimes have all your party members available for the fight. You can also turn away and try to leave the camp. If you don't examine the fire pit and the tent, the entire party will resist the illusion and stay alive (examining the bedroll alone is ok). The encounter yields Dalish Gloves and Dusk Ring.
    Note: You can use a revival spell to "revive" the 3 leftover party members at this point, as if they were dead. Though they will be drained of stamina and mana, it makes the fight that much easier.
