The developers from BioWare planned to please players with a considerable number of different mounts in their role-playing game. It turned out that this project features more than thirty “little animals” on which players can explore the game world of Thedas and its huge locations.
As for Inquisition, at first the developers only announced that gamers would be able to ride horses. However, then it became known that users will have a considerable choice of other mounts. According to some members of the BioWare team, the decision to expand the list of such beasts was made due to the significant increase in the game world, which was supposed to be much larger than in previous parts of the series.
As we already know, players will have a lot of space to explore if they want to get their hands on unique items or find new quests to complete. Mounted animals will help you overcome these distances. Alas, dreams of riding a giant will remain dreams. The only thing you can do in the game is fight with the highest dragons. However, riding monsters similar to dragons are still present in the game.
Types of mounts in Dragon Age: Inquisition
We remind you that the release of Dragon Age: Inquisition took place in mid-November this year on game consoles of the current and previous generations, as well as on personal computers. So, let's take a closer look at the riding "partners". There are 4 types of similar animals in the game:
- Horses
- Deer
- Dracolisks
- Exotic Species (Best in Inquisition)
It should be understood that the difference is not only appearance, but also endurance. The simplest horse “dies” (don’t worry, it will be reborn later) from a couple of blows not the most strong enemies, and the strongest creatures will withstand even the onslaught of the same giants. The most powerful mounts are exotic species. Here, by the way, is an extract from the game code about riding animals:
« Have you ever seen a proud rider on a royal horse? It's your own fault. These are quite ordinary animals, but they are worth a lot, so it is worth protecting them from filth, thieves, robbers - anything that can harm. These are not some heavy horses without fire in their eyes, suitable for harnessing to a plow - these are creatures of a pure and violent spirit. A good steed is not an aristocrat's hunting toy, it is your everyday companion, and you had better be worthy of it».
How to get mounts? Where can I find them?
To get the opportunity to ride through the vastness of the animal game world, you need to hire a master rider named Dennett. He lives in the Hinterlands, in the Redcliffe Farms area. You should know that the quest is not the easiest. The fact is that not every character is able to persuade Dennett to join the Inquisition. Take Cassandra, Vivien and Dorian with you. Video to help:
Did you manage? Now you can change your horse in the stable. And in the Vault and then in Skyhold. By the way, when you mount a horse (or any other pet), you will find yourself alone. During the trip, your companions disappear. They appear after you leave the saddle.
So, let's figure out what animals are available to us. There are more than 30 of them!
Horses of Dragon Age: Inquisition
The simplest and most common type of animal in the game. The horse significantly increases the speed of exploring locations, but is rather weak.
« About horses: I bet you've never had such a horse as Ferelden's Forder, a hardy half-breed. Don't let their size deceive you: these animals are not for working in the fields. Over centuries of careful selection, a miracle was raised from ordinary stock. They feel great both in hot fights and on a multi-day journey from one country to another. But for all their endurance and speed, they only condescendingly allow themselves to be commanded. Overdo it and you'll end up in the mud upside down. Horses know their role and expect you to know yours. I warned you and everything».
- Fereldan Riding Horse: The most common type of horse in the lands of Thedas. Your first horse.
- Taslinsky road: Fast, hardy horse of the Antivan breed . You can get it in the stables (only in the Vault) for free.
- Zelenodolsk Savage: A breed descended from herds of wild horses that escaped the Qunari invasion to the north . Can be obtained from Skyhold Stables.
- Dalish Multibreed: Rare horse. It's hard to get around. We buy from Skyhold.
- Orlesian Racehorse: An expensive breed used by the nobility. We buy from Skyhold.
- Amaranthine Steed: A proud and strong horse. We buy from Skyhold.
- Marchan Ranger: Horses come from the cities of the Free March. We buy from Skyhold.
- Anders Racer: A breed created for the Gray Wardens. We buy from Skyhold.
- Imperial Half-Blood: A breed descended from the horses of Tevinter. We buy from Skyhold.
- : The best armored horse in Dragon Age. One of a kind . Included in the Deluxe Edition.
Now let's turn our attention to the Dracolisks.
Dracolisks Dragon Age: Inquisition
Dracolisks bear little resemblance to dragons, except in the shape of their heads.
They do not have any wings, but they move like horses, on four legs. They look quite monstrous... I have rough skin covered with spikes, horns, claws, fangs and a tail.
- Hunting: Used for hunting
- Deep Foldtooth: Lives in the Western Reach
- Longma Sissy: Willful but resilient
- Blueberry Bane: This breed is rarely ridden
- Desert Lightning: Very fast
- Sharp-tailed: Hardy and interesting looking
« About the dracolisk: I've heard about them. I even saw it several times. They're not as rare as you think, but they're very, very difficult. The words "willful" and "stubborn" suggest some reasonable measure of resistance. And this one is just plotting evil. Spur it a little harder and it will smear against the tree. If you push him the wrong way, he will chop off his leg. However, there is also a useful side: in terms of speed and strength, it is not inferior to others, and the rider who can cope with it will make a good showing. Not just “I can do what you can’t”, but almost “I can do what you don’t dare.”».
Stags and Gauls in Dragon Age: Inquisition
Very beautiful and graceful creatures.
Previously, they were used by elves, and even now they are ridden in the forests. These are fast, dexterous and strong animals that are second only to exotic species.
- Red deer
- Brecilian wayfinder
- Tirashan carminative
- Pride of Arlathan
- Wild gall
- Royal stag, Southern branch
« About the red deer: I was glad to see him and not get acquainted with the antlers. The real pride of the stable. Any stable. Even a Dalish elf, whom I was lucky enough to ask, said that it was luck to see them from afar. Those few who managed to tame them and adapt them to riding - there really are not many of them! - they say that there is no other animal that holds the road so confidently, is sensitive to the rider and inspires just by looking at him. Do you want to compete with the charm of this creature? Then immediately grow your wings».
Exotic Animals in Dragon Age: Inqusition
Exotic animals are the toughest and most interesting mounts in the game. These types include, for example, Nagolopy. These creatures are best suited for mountainous terrain. They look peculiar...
« Great mountain head or "nadishche": He has arms. He may be taking something. This unsettled me more than anything else. What the hell is this? I don’t argue, the brute’s physique is impressive, and he has a lot of tenacity - what are your combat horses... He knows his strength. And she knows that you know her. I was expecting something snotty and puffy, only larger in size, and here... hands. Moreover, the eyes are meaningful. Be careful, fasten the buckles on the saddle - I think he will clearly make it clear that he is tired under you. No matter what I say, he doesn’t get tired. Oh, hands. Hands».
- Large head: Excellent cross-country ability
- Bony Thunderer: Powerful and fast
- Gwaren Stomper
- Battle Naga
- Big piss
Yes, you can get Nagolop after completing the task " Command Headquarters: Large?".
Also in the game there are:
Avvar heavy truck half-breed
Only available in DLC AMD Radeon In-Game Gift Pack.
In order to saddle an animal, you need to complete the quest "Avar Heavy Truck Half-Breed".
Swamp Unicorn
I played on such an animal. Also appears with DLC, available only to owners of the Deluxe edition of the game. It's an ugly horse back from the dead. Not at all the beautiful unicorn that we imagine when it comes to fantasy worlds. The fact is that the local Unicorn is not a Unicorn at all. And an ordinary horse that was once killed with a blade that sticks out of his head.
« About the “swamp unicorn”: I still don’t really understand what you dug up. I asked the magician about him - he, as always, said something about the Shadow. Don't understand anything. I asked this pacified one of yours again - the answer gave me goosebumps. To put it simply, there is some kind of spirit and all sorts of other things. Now I don’t call this horse anything other than “freedom”. But it turns out that he is somehow a demon?.. A demon is an undesirable side... and what is the undesirable side of freedom? Chaos or just “mayhem”? Something like that. Okay, whoever he is, in his own way he is gorgeous, a real Orlesian drill horse, well-groomed, no chevalier would be ashamed to ride such a horse. Judging by the scars, he fell in some kind of battle with demons or something like that, and then his owner finished him off out of pity. Whatever spirit of loyalty or freedom animated him, it had curious consequences: he wants to serve. I have no doubt that it’s great to ride him, I’ll put him in the stable, but I won’t go more than ten steps. the charm of this creature? Then immediately grow your wings».

The power of the order will grow gradually, over time it will enlist the support of the nobility, apostates (magicians or templars), Gray Wardens and other allies, but before this happens, many problems will have to be solved that will fall on the head of the main character along with the demons from the hole in the sky . Responsibilities in the Inquisition are strictly divided between advisors: Josephine responsible for diplomacy Lelliana- reconnaissance, Cullen- troops. The order is managed from the command headquarters, where all important requests are received and key events are marked on the map. Each of the advisors has their own approach to solving assigned problems. The outcome of the assigned task and the time spent depend on the choice: you can act with words, cunning or brute force (there are no absolutely losing solutions).
Agents who can be recruited in all corners of Thedas help speed up the process of completing tasks; they are also able to open new specializations without spending points. Agent Recruitment in Dragon Age: Inquisition it usually begins with communication with a potential candidate, but not everyone agrees to join the Inquisition right away, everyone has their own reasons: some are busy, some don’t trust, some are waiting, some are simply afraid of the consequences of their choice. In such cases they come to the rescue satellites, which are able to convince the intractable (additional lines appear in the dialogue). If the companions' attempts are unsuccessful, the only way to recruit an agent is performance small task for loyalty. It is important not to miss the right moment for recruitment, otherwise the agent may disappear as the plot develops. Recruited agents are added to the advisors tab in the specialization selection window.

The quest will begin after you find a letter on the body of a dead gnome in a small cave southeast of the original camp. We go to the place indicated on the map and encounter a magical barrier blocking the entrance to the cave. To destroy it, you need to attack it with “opposite” magic (in this case, the ice barrier), so we take the fire staff and shoot it at the barrier. Inside we deal with the enemies and go to the very depths of the cave. There we find a vein of red lyrium.
Renegade Farmer
To the south of the original camp you can find a lonely hut. We go inside and talk to the widow Maura. She will ask you to find the ring that the templars took after killing her husband.

healing hand
By asking the officer at the crossroads, you can learn that the refugees need a healer, and that one can be found in the village of Redcliffe. You can get to the village only after completing the story quest. Using the marker as a guide, we go into the desired hut and persuade the elf healer to help the refugees (take Cassandra or Solas with you). You can also take three quests from her by asking her if there is a shortage of herbs: “Common Treatment”, “Improved Treatment” and “Rare Treatment”.
Conventional treatment
Starts after talking with the healer in the village of Redcliffe. She will say that she is missing some herbs, and she has marked them all off on the list on the table nearby. We read the note and collect the necessary herbs (2 spindles and 4 elven roots). We give them to the healer and complete the quest.

The Ballad of Lord Sherstley
We talk with One-Eyed Jimmy in the village of Redcliffe. He will ask you to return his unique ram. We go to the marked area on the map and look for a brightly colored red and yellow ram. There are two options for the development of events here. First: we run up to the ram and run after it a little. Lord Sherstley will then agree to return. We go to One-Eyed Jimmy and complete the quest by talking with him. Second option: kill the sheep. Then he will turn into... you will see for yourself who. We kill him again and tell Jimmy everything.
Big trouble
The quest starts when you find the key in the mercenary fortress (Velikolesskaya estate) on the balcony on the top floor. Then we go to the secret shelter of the charter near Lake Superior, the entrance to which is covered by a waterfall and located on a small hill. We unlock the door using the found key and get inside. Having passed through the bridge, we go up the steps and go right to the very end. There will be a staircase down there. Having gone down, we kill all the enemies, and then open the door next to the stairs we just went down. There we kill everyone again, including the bandit leader. This will complete the quest.
Valammar Vault
The quest starts after you pick up the mechanism (looks like a large gear) lying on the table in the room where the bandit leader was located for the “Big Trouble” quest. The other part of the mechanism is on the other edge of the abyss. We leave the room and go straight across the bridge and then into the locked room on the right. In order to open the door to the room, there must be a robber in the squad. Then we return again to the room where the bandit leader was in the “Big Trouble” quest. We install the gears in the illuminated places on both sides of the door. We open the door. To do this, hold down [RMB] on the lever and hold it until the hero lets go. Then we do the same with the second lever. Once the door opens, the task will be completed. Inside we kill the enemies and take the loot.
Business relationship
The trigger for starting the quest will be a letter found on the templar’s body (it lies near the hut northwest of the camp near Sunset, where the battle for the quest “Blood Brothers” is still taking place). After this, we go to the village of Redcliffe and find Tanner dressed in church robes (standing next to the church). We talk with her and choose what will happen to her next. Can be recruited as an agent.
Relationships: Hinterlands
First you need to get into the cave of old Simeon, which is located west of the camp in the forest in the southwest of the Inner Lands. There is also a gap in it. Passing in the opposite direction its entrance is the end, you will see an exclamation mark appear on the map. Having walked towards him through a narrow gap in the mountain, you find a letter on the hunter’s body that needs to be put in the mailbox. Its location will be marked on the map. Once you do this, the quest will end.
Letter from my beloved
There is a camp in the lowland to the northwest. There is a letter in it on the table (highlighted by an exclamation mark on the map). After reading it, we learn that we need to take a certain felandaris to the tree next to the stone lady. Felandaris is a plant that is not native to the Hinterland, but can be found in Emprise du Lyon. The place of the altar where the plant should be taken is marked on the map. After placing the felandaris in front of the statue, a ghost will appear that must be killed, and the quest will end.
At the mercy of the elements
The task is taken from recruit Vitla, standing west of the intersection. To complete it, you need to search 5 areas marked on the map. There are boxes, barrels, bags, etc. in the right places. Between them the place for installing the banner of the Inquisition is illuminated. After we mark the location of all the caches, we return to recruit Vitl and hand in the task.
Dreams about stone
The quest is activated after we read “A Letter Found in an Abandoned House.” This house is located north of the Crossroads in the Redcliffe Road area. From the letter we learn that its author decided to hide in a cave somewhere in the hills. Focusing on the marker on the map, we go to the Dwarf Pass area in search of a cave. (Completing this task can be combined with three other quests: “Not up to the veins”, “At the mercy of the elements”, “In red”). Having found the cave, we discover a magical barrier blocking the entrance to it. With the help of a magician and a staff (fire), we destroy the barrier. We go inside and encounter a not very friendly apostate and his assistants. After their destruction, the quest will be completed.
