After the prologue, the Hinterlands is likely the first place you'll travel to in Dragon Age: Inquisition. This underrated green region is filled with all sorts of quests for you to do. However, the Letter From A Lover one might leave you confused. After all, to complete it, you need to get hold of a plant that doesn't grow in the Hinterlands.
Instead, you can find the herb in specific higher-level areas, which is a piece of information that the game doesn't reveal. So, here is an explanation of where to find the elusive Felandaris and how to complete the rest of the quest, too.
Starting The Quest
To initiate the mission, you need to find the titular letter. It resides in a camp, which is in the northwest area of the Hinterlands map.
The piece of paper lays on a bench. In the letter, the writer asks their love to bring some Felandaris to the Stone Lady. Despite not being the lover in question, you need to complete the letter's request.
Where To Find Felandaris
There are several ways you can get Felandaris:
- Pick it up in Emprise du Lion
- Pick it up in the Arbor Wilds
- Randomly loot it
- Find it in Frostback Basin (Only as part of the Jaws of Hakkon DLC)
- Buy it from the Stone-Bear Hold Crafting Materials merchant (Only as part of the Jaws of Hakkon DLC)
- Buy it from the Winter Palace merchant (Only as part of the Trespasser DLC)
Picking Felandaris From Emprise Du Lion
If you don't have the DLCs, then Emprise Du Lion is arguably the best place to pick up the herb. In fact, it's one of Dragon Age Inquisition's best areas in general. However, it's recommended that you don't travel to the area until you're at least level 16. Once there, you can find some Felandaris by Elfsblood tower, which is the area surrounded by a frozen lake in the northern part of the map.
Alternatively, if you've done the Capturing Suledin Keep quest, then you can search said keep as it's filled with Felandaris.
Visiting The Stone Lady
With the piece of Felandaris acquired, you can now take it to the Stone Lady.
The statue is waiting in the northwest area of the Hinterlands. However, you can't just run to that part of the map to find the lady as she is very high up.
First, you need to go slightly northeast of the objective marker to find an area where you can start your ascent. Then simply follow that path around to make your way to the Stone Lady.
Placing The Felandaris And Facing The Consequences
Once you're at the statue, you can hit the prompt to hand over the Felandaris, which completes the quest. However, you will also get attacked by a regular Wraith. It's not among the best or strongest demons in the game, though, so you should be able to take it out.
