Dragon Age Inquisition Story Quest - Wicked Eyes And Wicked Hearts
7STORY QUEST - Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts
Recommended Level: 12-15
Head to the War Room to find a way into the Winter Palace (Power cost: 30)
Enter the war room at Skyhold and begin the operation once you have the required power. A brief talk with your advisors will give you a better idea of what's going on in the royal court and the factions involved (plus a bit of background info if you ask the investigation questions). When the talk is over, you'll be on your way to the Winter Palace.
When you arrive at the palace, you'll be wearing your best duds and you'll get the chance to meet the Grand Duke. He'll drop some hints about supporting you if you help him become emperor and ask you to help him with the leader of the elvish faction.
Enter the Winter Palace
Court approval (x/100) * normal starting value is 40
+5 bonus if you are from a noble background (human), as the court is impressed by your lineage.
-10 penalty if you are an elf or a mage as the court doesn't approve of either.
If you reach 0 approval, you will be forcibly removed from the ball.
Raising the court's approval to full leads to an achievement (if you complete the finale of this quest with approval at 95 or higher) and additional dialogue. You can do this by completing sidequests in the area as you go. Take a look at the "Winter Palace" sidequest section for more details. If you only want the approval boosts, look for the sidequests which reward '+x approval.'
When you are ready, head through the palace gate to enter the palace itself. As you walk inside, you'll have a quick meeting with Josephine about court etiquette before reaching the inside.
Enter the ballroom
You'll regain control in the vestibule, Climb the large staircase in front of you. The ballroom is directly ahead at the top of the stairs. Talk to the Grand Duke next to the door when you are ready to make your entrance.
Approach Celene
Upon entering, you will be restricted to a slow walk which is a bit annoying (but understandable in the circumstances). You can wait around to hear your companions names and achievements read out (Cassandra's is pretty funny if you know her background). Approach Celene when you are prepared to talk to her. Keep in mind that your dialogue choices may earn you favor, or lose you a lot of favor from the court.
"It's an honor."
"The weather may turn foul." (+5 court approval)
"There is an assassin." (-15 court approval)
"It's lovely."
"I can't do it credit."
"Call off the ball."
Speak with Leliana
Take the time to have a word with your advisors if you want before leaving for the vestibule again. Listen to Leliana's theory about who the assassin is.
