Infinite gold and experience hints:
-Note: The following may only
work in the unpatched version of the game. Complete any side quest that
does not activate a cutscene while receiving your reward, then save the
game. Draw your weapon, then approach the NPC. While your character is
putting away their weapon to talk to the NPC, rapidly press A to get
unlimited money and EXP. You can keep doing this until you move your
character. Repeat as desired.
-Note: The following may only work
in the unpatched version of the game. While in Kirkwall, there is a
quest in the chantry called “Sister Plinth’s Remains.” While returning
her remains to her brother, do not move as this prevents the exploit from
working. Simply keep pressing the button to turn over the remains and the
brother will keep giving you the reward. Note: You find the remains in
Darktown in the top right corner of the map. They are surrounded by several soldiers.
Infinite Armor Points:
With Hawke
and Aveline, equip, un-equip, and re-equip a shield. Your Armor
stat/percentage will constantly increase. Repeat this until your armor
points are maxed out.
Infinite Ability Points:
Access to the Black Emporium is required for this, as well as enough gold to afford the Maker’s
Sigh potion that resets all Ability Points/Attributes. Hawke’s unique
preset skills mean that when you use a Maker’s Sigh potion and save, the
preset skills will be always be filled. Perform the following steps to
easily gain ability points:
1. Use a Maker’s Sigh.
2. Save your game and reload the file.
3.
Examine your Ability Points; you should see the amount removes plus
Hawke’s preset abilities. For a Rogue this will be 4-5 points in the
fual-wield tree.
4. Use another Maker’s Sigh to add those Abilities
to the Ability Points. Repeat this as many times as desired as long as
you have the potions, but make sure to save and reload the game each
time.
Prequel bonus:
Have a saved game file from Dragon Age: Origins to unlock the Blood Dragon armor.
Recommended party configuration:
You
should have a damager, tank, entropist and healer. This will ensure you
have one member taking all the damage and bringing the attention away
from the rest of the party. Have an entropist (Merrill is recommended)
to weaken and demoralize the enemy, a healer to strengthen and maintain
the party, and a damager to inflict the pain. This will ensure a well
rounded party that covers all aspects of combat.
Dead Anders stays with hero:
Play
through the game with a relationship with Anders. At the end of the
game, choose to kill him for destroying the Chantry. In the end scene
where Varric says that everyone had to leave the hero, he will say,
“Everyone, of course, except Anders”, even though he is already dead.
Hayder’s Razor:
Complete the demo version while signed into your EA account to unlock Hayder’s Razor. You will get notification when the item is unlocked.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer easter egg:
During one of the dialogues between Anders and Isabella, Isabella mentions that abominations are easy to escape because they make loud noises like “Grr Argh”. Anders refutes, saying “Abominations to not go Grr Argh”. During the ending credits of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer television series, Joss Whedon’s “Mutant Enemy Productions” credit screen shows a little monster which says “Grr Argh?”
Jade Empire easter egg:
During one of the dialogues between Fenris and Varric, Fenris asks Varric “Who is Bianca?” When Varric tells him it is a crossbow, Fenris says that he must have named it after someone. Varric replies, “Nope, Mirabelle was taken”, referencing the rifle owned by Sir Roderick Von Fontlebottom The Magnificent Bastard from Jade Empire.
Sir Mixalot easter egg:
Take Isabella to the desire section inside the fade. A demon will seduce her with the prospect of a boat in the harbor. When Isabella turns on you, she will say “I like big boats and I cannot lie”, referencing Sir Mixalot’s “I Like Big Butts” song.
The Mask easter egg:
During the “Prime Suspect” mission when you meet Mr. Dupries, have Varric in your party. Give the sarcastic response of letting Dupries talk his way out the situation. Varric will make the comment “I bet 20 silver it’s ‘it wasn’t me, it was the one-armed man'”, referencing The Mask when Jim Carey tries to defend his innocence when he gets captured.
NCIS easter egg:
During the second act, when you first enter your Hightown mansion, Aveline will ask you to deal with a problem she has with the Templar Emmeric. During the conversation you will be able to question her about Emmeric’s investigation. When you select the question that asks her why she would not investigate it with the guard, she talks about the Gascard de Puis house raid, then finishes it by saying “Why can’t he just build a boat like other old men.” This is a reference to the television show NCIS and the main character Leeroy Jethro Gibbs, an old federal agent who builds boats in his basement.
Wizard Of Oz easter egg:
In your home, when your mother says that her children should be nobles now, your uncle says “And if wishes were poppy we’d all be dreaming right now”, referencing the Wizard of Oz.
Aveline friendship hint:
During the quest “Raiders on the Cliff,” speak to Lieutenant Harley and select the Diplomatic dialog options. Complete the dialog and repeat for infinite friendship points.
Sebastian rivalry hint:
After completing the Sebastian’s “Repentance” companion quest, return to the chantry. This part is very important: Do not talk to Sebastian, only talk to the Grand Cleric. When you start the dialog conversation with the Grand Cleric, repeatedly select the “You’re useless” dialog option to get the 5 rivalry for Sebastian each time. You can repeat this cheat as many times as you’d like.
Simultaneous abilities glitch:
Note: This is considered an in-game exploit and may be fixed as future patches are released. It is possible to activate certain abilities that are not designed to be active with others. For example, the abilities Control and Might for the warrior character are not meant to be able to be activated at the same time. To get around this, activate one ability.
