Cheats and Secrets - Dragon Age Inquisition Guide - IGN (2024)

Dragon Age: Inquisition is crammed with Cheats, Secrets, and obscure Bioware references, as well as hidden clues to deep series lore.

The Old Gods

Reddit user sashimi_taco discovered that audio from a sequence in the Tmeple of Mythal, played backwards, reveals a secret of Dragon Age lore.

Spoilers Below!

As reported by IGN.com:

"Although there’s still some dispute over the exact words being heard, what can be made out is a game-changer.

Go to him, Dirth… Mythal speaks the calling…

Halt… Blind…" or “The call is sweet, from the blood…

He is bound to the same…

Travel far…

Don't speak…

She speaks the truth…

She's fallen, lost…" or “She saw the lost…

The big news here is the line 'Mythal speaks the calling…' Mythal is an elven deity, however the calling – a song sang by Archdemons to call darkspawn to their side – has previously been linked with the Old Gods. What this means is an elven God, of sorts, could also be an Old God, resulting in two religious beliefs crossing over with one another.

As you may know, the Tevinter Imperium of old follow the teachings of the Old Gods and their quest to breach The Golden City, a place they perceive to be of power. The Dalish elves walk the path of Elven pantheon -- led by Elgar'nan the All-Father, and Mythal the Protector. And yet, Mythal seemingly fits into both stories; Mythal could be an elven Goddess and an Old God."

Quick Complete War Room Missions

On PS4 you can accept your missions in the war room, then change the system time ahead how ever many hours your longest mission is going to take to complete, go back in to the game and they are done. You do not have to save or quit the game, just accept the missions, press the PS button and go to system and manually edit the system time, then go back and accept the rewards for your now completed missions on the War Map. Don't forget to set your system time back to normal when you are done! It is currently unknown if this works on Xbox One. Works on PC with patch 1.3.

Item dupe and infinite gold glitch

You can dupe stackable crafting materials at any merchant. All you need to do is mark your crafting materials you want to dupe to the "valuables" and hit "sell" and "sell all" at the same time. Only stackable crafting materials can be duped and no herbs.

This works for all plattforms, on PC you will need a controller.(as of 01.12.2014).

Infinite Skill Point glitch

You can get infinite skill points by refreshing a chest with an amulet of power. If you only loot the amulet of power and nothing else from a chest, you can refresh the area you're in and the amulet will respawn. The first good location to do this is Crestwood. You need to progress in the main story to unlock the mission "a missing warden", then finish the quest "still waters" and have the inquisition perk "deft hands" for your rogue.

Instant maximum Inquisition perk points glitch

You can max out your inquistion level very fast by buying certain items from the npc "Farris the Representative". By using the glitch you rebuy/resell the items and gain a lot of influence. Farris unlocks after the wartable mission "price of power". The Mission will pop up after doing the quest "here lies the abyss"
