A woman named Sister Natalie appears và greets Leliana, who signals bự the Inquisitor that something seems wrong .Natalie và Leliana chat about the mysterious letter, considering what it means và where Justinia may have left a last memento for Leliana, as well as of other matters. Leliana notes several esoteric clues that the Inquisitor can use phệ discover hidden mechanisms beneath related Chantry paintings in order bự open a secret door hiding Justinia’s final gift for Leliana .The clues are :

• “Always remember that faith sprung from a barren branch.” (painting in anteroom of thorny branch)
• “Above all, that strength lives in an open heart.” (painting in statue room of Andraste’s death)
• “That light has no fear of darkness.” (brazier in statue room)

The first clueThe second clueThe third clueOnce the secret door is revealed, Leliana turns on Natalie & threatens her with a knife. It appears that Natalie was a plant sent by Grand Cleric Victoire, who was previously a nominal opponent of Justinia’s và is now an enemy of the Inquisition preparing Khủng move against what she sees as a heretical organization.

If the Inquisitor has previously taken actions bự ” soften ” Leliana’s personality ( notably, persuading her not béo kill her calculate my age
nt Butler in Haven và convincing her that her agents are not expendable following the destruction of Haven in quest In Your Heart Shall Burn ), she can be discouraged from this course of action và will merely threaten Natalie into aiding the Inquisition. If not, she will kill Natalie .Once inside the secret room, Leliana will discover a box that appears empty. On further inspection, there is an inscription within it stating that ” the Left Hand should lay xuống dốc her burden. ” Leliana realizes that Justinia is releasing her. The Divine feared using Leliana as Marjolaine had, và felt she had ” failed ” her–as the spirit in the Fade during quest Here Lies the Abyss noted–by taking advantage of Leliana in order Khủng keep her own hands clean. To confirm her ” softened ” personality, the Inquisitor can advise Leliana Khủng stop torturing herself, or else confirm her ” hardened ” personality if she has killed Natalie .

[Note: If Leliana kills Natalie she will be irreversibly hardened, regardless of previous choices made. Likewise the ‘stop torturing yourself’ option will be useless if Natalie is killed.]

Bugs

[

]

• After returning from Valence, it may not be possible to speak to Leliana if an Inquisition spy who is reporting to Leliana fails to speak his line and becomes stuck in an animation loop. This bug may occur if Dorian is arguing with Mother Giselle when the Inquisitor enters the area. One possible solution is to resolve Dorian’s argument, return to Skyhold from another world location, and then walk up to Leliana without fast-traveling to her area.
